show us you are fair, PM – charged the ex CM!

the PM talked so much about him being fair. remember in aug. this year, he had said he had been fair, wants to be fair and will always be fair (and one funny blogger joke that, yes he must be using lots of whitening cream. Haha). recently, after the hindraf rally, he also talked about him being fair to all.

well, mr PM, let’s see if you are really fair now.

one of your UMNOputra, the former malacca chief minister, abdul rahim tamby chik (yeah the same one who was let off for his charges on raping a minor),  had recently uttered something very seditious – what are you going to do? charged him! don’t do what we expect – just gave him a warning or worst, ignore his seditious remarks and say it is not seditious… or saying we (non malays) drive him to say that!!  if the gomen can charge the protestors of the hindraf rally or make such a hue and cry over namewee’s negarkuku, then you should be fair to charge rahim too. (or don’t tell me the tamby is going to say he was misquoted or the opposition is playing up what he said.)

what did rahim said?

“the malays have never taken to the streets so do not force us to do so as we will draw our parang (machete) to defend the ketuanan melayu (malay supremacy) in this country.”
From Malaysiakini (scroll down for the full article).

whoa!! super duper highly seditious, man!! don’t play play ah.

first of all he was wrong to say the malays have never taken to the streets.

secondly, look, he is advocating violence – he wants to use the parang! (did the bersih or hindraf protest on the street mentioned using any weapon?).

finally, *sigh* there goes the ketuanan melayu thingy again. badawi, how to be fair when your honchos insist on ketuanan melayu? the melayu wants to reign supreme in this country, they don’t want you to be fair. they want to have the cake and eat it as well. They want non melayu to be treated as second class citizens.

Where is the fairness, i asked?

ktemoc also blog on this, in his usual sarcasm way.
also, please read this interesting article where an ex indian malaysian claimed "it’s apartheid" in malaysia.

Police report against Rahim’s fiery speech
Dec 5, 07 2:01pm    
       
An opposition youth leader from Malacca today lodged a police report against the state’s former chief minister Abdul Rahim Tamby Chik for allegedly inciting racial hatred against non-Malays.

The state’s DAP youth leader Tey Kok Kiew based his report on an article which was published by Chinese daily China Press on Sunday which quoted Abdul Rahim as saying: “The Malays have never taken to the streets so do not force us to do so as we will draw our parang (machete) to defend the Ketuanan Melayu (Malay supremacy) in this country.”

Abdul Rahim is said to have made the statement in his speech as the chairperson of the Malay Economic Body (Gabem) during a ceremony in Malacca last Saturday.

In his police report lodged at the Melaka Tengah police station, Tey accused Abdul Rahim of attempting to use violence in order to defend the Malay supremacy by delivering the seditious speech.

He added that Abdul Rahim was trying to influence the Malay public to act violently against non-Malays street protesters.

He also said that Abdul Rahim was encouraging violence in his speech.

Tey said the police must investigate and act against Abdul Rahim if he is found to have said the seditious remarks.

Indians on streets

Abdul Rahim’s speech is believed to have been made in light of the recent street protests in Kuala Lumpur.

On Nov 25, about 30,000 Indian Malaysians brought the busy Jalan Ampang to a standstill for about six hours, as they attempted to march to the British High Commission to submit a petition claiming they have been marginalised since being brought to Malaya as indentured labourers.

The police used tear gas and water cannon to disperse the crowd. Government leaders later attacked the rally – organised by the Hindu Rights Action Force – as being racially motivated.

The organisers have also been accused as “liars and extremists” following their claims that the Indian community had suffered from government-endorsed “ethnic cleansing”.
