we was reminded of a prank upon politicians which "we cling to a petty thieves though elect a good ones to office" when we read Dr Mahathir Mohamad's claim in his blog which a Chinese (and Indians) have been a genuine masters of a country.
Specifically, he wrote which "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 now is additionally being taken away from them".
As election day approaches, this line of argument is being rehashed. We can design 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 brand new permutations such as "the PKR as well as PAS have been selling out a rights of a Malays" or "the DAP is unequivocally a dayang master pulling a strings of a Pakatan coalition".
What is critical is not to get angry or sojourn wordless though to refute it with facts, figures as well as arguments.
For Dr Mahathir to accuse a Chinese of being a genuine masters of a nation is unequivocally a height of domestic idiocy. If we wish to go by secular perception, it would appear to everybody which Malays dominate in each globe of life in a country.
They form a majority in Parliament, judiciary, armed forces 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 major banks except for Public Bank, a GLCs, Petronas, open universities, polite service, etc.
Any Chinese or orang putih wanting to do commercial operation has to kowtow 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 augmenting a price.
Even a richest as well as most powerful Chinese as well as Indians such as Robert Kuok, Ananda Krishna, Tony Fernandez, Vincent Tan as well as others have been completely during a mercy of a Malays if they wish to do commercial operation in Malaysia.
But let's not go by simplistic perception. The indisputable fact is which a genuine masters of a nation have been a Umno-led Barisan Nasional, which has ruled Malays as well as Malaysia for over 55 years.
During which period, Dr Mahathir as prime apportion was a undisputed series a single man. He altered a country's constitution as well as laws; sent his domestic opponents in to prison or oblivion; singlehandedly undermined a judiciary; as well as put a time as well as our time back to ensure which we would all wake up an hour earlier.
He even took upon a most sacrosanct of Malay institutions a Sultanate by shortening a management of Malay rulers.
Dr Mahathir additionally tranquil as well as manipulated a country's purse strings. His monetary leadership of a nation have left an indelible black mark upon a country's mercantile as well as monetary fortunes.
First, he done a pass decisions upon mercantile white elephants as well as scandals such as Proton, Bakun Dam, Putrajaya, as well as Perwaja. The final resulted in a detriment of RM2.6 billion.
Dr Mahathir himself has admitted publicly in 2002 in a discourse with Malaysians in London which a detriment could have been as much as RM10 billion due to probable misappropriation of funds.
The mother of all monetary scandals took place during Dr Mahathir's time. This was a forex losses incurred by Bank Negara's speculative banking trading which price us over RM50 billion.
The second result was a plague of! privati zation he inflicted upon a country. A clinging fan of Margaret Thatcher, Dr Mahathir pursued privatization 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 which accompanied a privatization programme.
Dr Mahathir can be deliberate to be a godfather of a class of capitalist cronies which has cornered much of a country's wealth as well as who, together with Umno/Barisan, have been a undisputed masters of a wealth of Malaysia. These large time tycoons contain of most Chinese though they have been a multiracial cast as well as embody an augmenting series of Malay businessmen.
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 top classes living in high finish housing estates as well as owning a lion's share of civic property.
He himself lives in a gated village as well as is conjectural to own countless properties though he laments for a most Malays living in squatter houses.
But who has been responsible for this situation?
Dr Mahathir needs to look during himself in a mirror. He has squandered our petro dollars upon his projects of extraneous loftiness as well as his love 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 treasury supports upon them instead of his pet projects.
If he had invested a income wisely in ability merger 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 will certainly not be so conspicuous.
Dr Mahathir still does not wish to go away from a centre stage. He wants to sojourn in it b! ecause h e knows which a BN has to maintain power if he is not to be done responsible for a racial, domestic as well as mercantile disaster which he was responsible for as well as left behind as his categorical legacy.
The border of his recklessness can be seen in his speeches aimed during shoring up Malay await by claiming which a Chinese have been a genuine masters of Malaysia.
But as a Malaysian saying goes, his speak has no walk!
