Racist Malaysia

Dear Julia

I understand Curtin University has award an honorary Doctorate of Letters to Rosmah Mansor, wife of Malaysia's Prime Minister.

Australia is a great country for migrants. My family find so much peace, opportunity, safety, freedom and a bright future in our new country. My family consisting of my wife, our adult daughters and myself are tax payers. We are happy paying taxes because of the opportunities given to us.

Isu Bangsa dan Agama Modal Kempen UMNO

Hj Amde Sidik

Kelihatannya modal kempen yang digunakan oleh pemimpin-pemimpin BN-UMNO terhadap Parti Maju Sabah–SAPP adalah tidak habis-habis mengaitkan isu perkauman Melayu dan agama.

Dengan slogan sedemikan  bagi UMNO akan mencerminkan bahawa parti SAPP tidak sepatutnya disertai oleh orang-orang Islam selain bukan kepunyaan orang-orang Melayu. Dalam kontek ini pula, pemimpin-pemimpin UMNO menghadapi masalah mendefinasikan bangsa Melayu sebab kekurangan bilangan orang-orang Melayu di Sabah. Orang orang Bajau, Kadayan, Brunai, Tidung  dan lain-lainnya secara terbuka mengatakan lebih senang dipanggil mengikut nama etnik mereka sendiri, bukannya sebagai bangsa Melayu.

1Malaysia political gimmick has ruined race relations

Aneesa Alphonsus

According to Wikipedia, the 1Malaysia concept aimed to re-kindle 'ethnic harmony' but the opposite seems to be in place now.

PETALING JAYA: In 1957, when we gained independence, there was no “talk” of race relations. There were no complications. There was just acceptance of a rich and culturally diverse social fabric that made up Malaysia.

UMNO not dominating, not racist?

I congratulate the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak for his sterling performance in his speech at the on-going Umno General Assembly.

Even Tun Mahathir who had been so critical of Najib all this while was impressed and expressed support for him because now “he is a different man.”

Institutional Racism and Religious freedom in Malaysia

Institutional racism is the process by which people from ethnic minorities are systematically discriminated against by a range of public and private bodies. If the result or outcome of established laws, customs or practices is racially discriminatory, then institutional racism can be said to have occurred.

Perkasa denies seeking ban on Christian teachers

Malays rights NGO Perkasa has denied that it issued a call for Christian teachers to be barred from teaching in public schools.

Asserting this today, Ibrahim Ali accused unnamed quarters of creating stories and spreading them on Perkasa’s behalf without the authority to do so.

"I am Perkasa president. We never made this proposal, as was stressed in the policy speech in our recent AGM, we stand for racial harmony,” Ibrahim (Independent-Pasir Mas) told the Dewan Rakyat in Parliament this morning.

‘Umno outsourcing racism to Perkasa’

Humayun Kabir

An opposition leader claims that Umno is the hidden hand behind Perkasa, which has been tasked with raising racial issues.

TAIPING: Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) alleged that Umno, after coming under pressure from its Barisan Nasional component parties, has outsourced its racist agenda to Perkasa.

Religious and Racial tensions the political trump card for Umno?

By Dullie Haji Marie

Another twist emerged by Utusan Malaysia, by sensationalizing on the issue that unsubstantiated with facts; the Christian leaders were conspiring to replace Islam as the official religion and install a Christian Prime Minister. It is incomprehensible when Islam is constitutionally the official religion of the nation.

Unfortunately, this deluge of lies was further dramatised by Datuk Ibrahim Ali, by waging a crusade against Christianity. The result of Sarawak election is sending a strong message to make UMNO in a panic mode. It will be the likely trend to continue in the coming GE 13. Just make a guess if this incident happens by coincident or is it crafted to destroy DAP directly and indirectly PKR and PAS by begging for the Malays to rally behind UMNO.

Sabah doesn’t need a politician like Ibrahim Ali

Importation and escalation of extremist racial and religious politics into Sabah.

Race and religion have been made used to stir up people's sentiment from time and time again by politicians. This is very disturbing political trend in the country.

Perkasa imaginary war against Christians

Perkasa, Utusan Malaysia are Umno's tools to win Malay votes at all costs

Perkasa president Ibrahim Ali is trying to wage a war against the Christians in the country by alleging that Islam' position in the country is under threat.

Common sense tells us Malaysians that how in the world can Christianity threaten Islam in this country where the majority of the races are Muslims.

The Price of Malaysia's Racism

Slower growth and a drain of talented citizens are only the beginning..

Ethnic Indian Malaysians protesting in 2007

Malaysia's national tourism agency promotes the country as "a bubbling, bustling melting pot of races and religions where Malays, Indians, Chinese and many other ethnic groups live together in peace and harmony." Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak echoed this view when he announced his government's theme, One Malaysia. "What makes Malaysia unique," Mr. Najib said, "is the diversity of our peoples. One Malaysia's goal is to preserve and enhance this unity in diversity, which has always been our strength and remains our best hope for the future."
