DAP world's most racist party?

By : Shazwan Mustafa Kamal (TMI)

UTUSAN Malaysia has accused DAP of being the world’s most racist party following Lim Kit Siang’s recent call for Chinese voters to unite and ensure a change of government.

The DAP parliamentary leader had in a Chinese New Year message said that the Chinese community had managed to attain economic prosperity despite the failings of the Barisan Nasional (BN) federal government, which has been mired in 'corruption' and 'abuses of power.'

Article 153 is not just for Malays but for every Malaysian!

Datuk Ibrahim Ali just came up with a gem of truth when he said there is no need for a Race Relations Act if people behave. “If everyone behaves, if nobody touches on (Article) 153, nobody questions this and that, condemns this and that, and at the same time recognises the disparity of wealth between Malays and non-Malays, I don’t think we need any additional Act,” he said.

Ibrahim: They are jealous of me!

Ibrahim Ali on UiTM award: I'm a victim of jealousy

Stressing his “clean” record of activism over the past 30 years, Perkasa president Ibrahim Ali says all objections against the proposed award to be given by UiTM under his name arose completely out of jealousy over his achievements.

“Because I'm too active, organising things sometimes in a big way, there are people who are jealous of me. Just for nothing, they are jealous of me,” the politician said in an exclusive interview with Internet protocol television (IPTV) station eTV.

Muslim group condemns Perkasa's racist threats

KUALA LUMPUR - An Islamic youth empowerment group has condemned the "inane behaviour" by several members of UMNO's right wing offshoot Perkasa as well as the threat by its leader Ibrahim Ali over the weekend against the Chinese community.

In a statement expressing outrage over Ibrahim's warning to Chinese to stay away from the July 9 rally called by electoral reform group Bersih, the Islamic Renaissance Front described the act of burning and stomping on pictures of Bersih chairperson Ambiga Sreenevasan as "extremely offensive".

'Chinese stay home' warning is seditious: Khairy

Perkasa leader Ibrahim Ali's warning to Chinese Malaysians to stock up on provisions ahead of the July 9 Bersih 2.0 rally is “racist, seditious and dangerous”, according to Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin.

“This is a threat against one community in the country, clearly and expressively... action should be taken against him (Ibrahim),” Khairy (left) told reporters in the Parliament lobby today.

At very least, Ibrahim should be investigated under the Sedition Act 1949, he said, while pointing out that the latter is not representative of the majority of Malays. 

Why I left for our ‘poorer’ neighbour — Indonesia

Malaysia Insider

Contrary to most Malaysians who work overseas, I chose a less popular destination. I have been based in Jakarta for the past year and a bit. Most people look down on Indonesia as the poorer neighbour, much like the way Singapore looks at us. However, after living here, there is much to like, and below are some of the reasons why I prefer life here and do not plan to return anytime soon:

1. Indonesia is the most populous Muslim country in the world. However, you will find that most Indonesians are very open about their religion and respectful of the rights of others. Muslims here have no problem with patronising outlets that sell alcohol or non-halal food, even if they choose not to have any. In Malaysia, the Muslims make a big fuss over small things which they claim are not halal. You may argue that there are fanatics here, but the number is small relative to the population. Just look around Malaysia. Everywhere you look, you get fanatics.

Nazri: No action against Ibrahim Ali

S Pathmawathy

No action can be taken against Perkasa chief Ibrahim Ali over his warnings of violence against the Christian community as such remarks are now a Malaysian norm, said de facto law minister Mohd Nazri Abdul Aziz.

No matter how unsettling such remarks are, Malaysians therefore "need to live" and "be mature" in dealing with such characters as Ibrahim and his ilk since social platforms and media such as Twitter and blogs have allowed statements such as Ibrahim's to proliferate beyond the government's ability to proscribe - or punish - them, he added.
