I was reminded of a witticism upon politicians that "we cling to a petty thieves though elect a great ones to office", when I read former PM Dr Mahathir Mohamad's explain in his blog that a Chinese (and Indians) have been a genuine masters of a country.
Specifically he wrote, "Because they (the Malays) have been peaceful to share their nation with alternative races, a competition from a comparison civilised world of some-more than 4,000 years as well as who have been some-more successful, as such today whatever they have right divided is additionally being taken divided from them."
As election day approaches, this line of evidence is being rehashed. We can expect some-more of this competition baiting by Dr Mahathir as well as his kind in Umno as well as Pemuda when they have been addressing Malay voters.

As election day approaches, this line of evidence is being rehashed. We can expect some-more of this competition baiting by Dr Mahathir as well as his kind in Umno as well as Pemuda when they have been addressing Malay voters. Of course, this rehashing will take upon new permutations such as "the PKR as well as PAS have been offered out a rights of a Malays" or "the DAP is really a dalang (master puppeteer) pulling a strings of a Pakatan coalition".
What is critical is not to get indignant or sojourn wordless though to rebut these with facts, total as well as arguments.
Malays masters of all important
For Mahathir to accuse a Chinese of being a genuine masters of a nation is really a tallness of domestic idiocy. If you wish to go by secular perception, it would crop up to everyone that Malays dominate in each globe of life in a country.
They form a majority in parliament, judiciary, army as well as police, a MACC as well as all alternative critical domestic bodies. In a socio-economic as well as tutorial sphere, they carry out all a vital banks solely for Public Bank; a GLCs; Petronas; open universities; polite service; etc.
Any Chinese or orang putih wanting to do business has to obeisance to a Malays for licences as well as permits. Moreover, Malay businesses carry out some of a monopolies such as water, electricity, toll roads, etc. where it is so easy for them to make some-more profits by just increasing a cost abetted by a Malay-dominated polite service.
Even a richest as well as most absolute Chinese as well as Indians such as R! obert Kuok, Ananda Krishnan, Tony Fernandez, Vincent Tan as well as others have been utterly during a forgiveness of a Malays if they wish to do business in Malaysia
Who have been a genuine masters?
But let's not go by simplistic perception. The indisputable fact is that a genuine masters of a nation have been a Umno-led Barisan Nasional that has ruled Malays as well as Malaysia for over 55 years.

During that period, Dr Mahathir as prime apportion was a undisputed numero uno or series a single man.
He changed a country's constitution as well as laws; sent his domestic opponents in to jail or oblivion; singlehandedly undermined a judiciary; as well as put a time as well as a time back to ensure that you would all arise up an hour earlier.

He even took upon a most sacrosanct of Malay institutions a sultanate - by shortening a authority of a Malay rulers.
Legacy of wastefulness
Dr Mahathir additionally tranquil as well as manipulated a country's purse strings. His financial leadership of a nation has left an memorable black symbol upon a country's! mercant ile as well as financial fortunes.

First, he done a pass decisions upon mercantile white elephants as well as scandals such as Proton, Bakun Dam, Putrajaya, as well as Perjawa.
The final resulted in a detriment of MR2.6 billion. Mahathir himself has admitted publicly in 2002 in a discourse with Malaysians in London that a detriment could have been as much as RM10 billion due to probable misappropriation of funds.
The mom of all financial scandals took place during Dr Mahathir's time. This was a forex losses incurred by Bank Negara's suppositional banking trading, that cost us over RM 50 billion ringgit.
The second outcome was a plague of privatisation he inflicted upon a country. A devoted fan of former British PM Margaret Thatcher, Dr Mahathir pursued privatisation of telecommunications, utilities, airlines as well as alternative open sectors as well as services with a vengeance.

But he lacked a British premier's caution as well as acumen, as well as sealed both eyes to a leakages as well as abuses that accompanied a privatisation programme.
Dr Mahathir can be deliberate to be a godfather of a category of capitalist cronies that has cornered much of a country's resources as well as who together with Umno/Barisan have been a undisputed masters of a resources of Malaysia.

These large time tycoons comprise most Chinese, though they have been a multiracial cast as well as embody an increasing series of Malay businessmen.
Please demeanour in to a mirror
Today, Dr Mahathir blames a Chinese for operative tough as well as enjoying a fruits of their labour. He is hostile of a Chinese center as well as upper classes vital in high finish housing estates as well as owning a lion's share of civic proper! ty.

He himself lives in a gated village as well as is conjectural to own countless properties, though he laments for a most Malays vital in squatter houses.But who is obliged for this situation?
Dr Mahathir needs to demeanour during himself in a mirror. He has consumed thousands of billions of a petro dollars in his projects of extraneous grandeur, as well as his adore of cronies, most of whom he has helped with costly bailouts.
He could have solved a predicament of hundreds of thousands of squatters by using book funds upon them instead of his pet projects.
If he had invested a income wisely in ability acquisition for a immature Malays as well as in open housing as well as civic infrastructure for all Malaysians, especially needy as well as deserving Malays, a secular mercantile divide would surely not be so conspicuous.
Leave whilst a starting is good
Today Dr Mahathir still does not wish to leave a domestic centre stage. He wants to sojourn in it since he knows that a BN has to say energy if he is not to be done obliged for a racial, domestic as well as mercantile mess that he was obliged for as well as that has been left at a back of as his main legacy.

The border of his desperation can be seen in his speeches aimed during shoring up Malay support by claiming that a Chinese have been a genuine masters of Malaysia.
But as a Malaysian observant goes, his speak has no walk!
