the old man speaks
“Today we see a lot of Malay NGOs trying to defend the Malay position. Invariably they have been labelled racists,” said Mahathir (picture) on his blog today. “The unfortunate truth is that those who labelled them are equally racists because of their advocacy of meritocracy.”
“If ‘Malaysian Malaysia’ conjures equality between races, ‘Meritocracy’ implies something stronger,” he added referring to the DAP’s old slogan.
“It implies dominance by the race with the greatest merit in every field; in education, in business and in all fields of human endeavour.”
Dr Mahathir said that the campaign for meritocracy is not a campaign against racism but a campaign by racists against racists.
“The meritocrats are as much racists as the Malay NGOs, and Perkasa,” he said. “Incidentally by writing this I know the meritocrat racists will condemn me as racist. So be it.”
[…]
“That is why today we have Perkasa and other Malay NGOs who are as openly concerned about the Malays as Umno once was,” he said. “The condemnation by those said to be advocating meritocracy is because they see the racism of the meritocrats, just as the Malays of 1964 saw the racism of ‘Malaysian Malaysia’.”
[…]
“There are quite a large number of Indian Muslims in Malaysia but they do not figure in the political party said to be Islamic,” he said.
“The party, by using Islam, knows full well they are appealing to Malays almost exclusively. But the intention is not to defend the Malays but merely to gain their support. One can say they are not Malay racists. Rather they are Malay political opportunists.”
the winner:-
“The meritocrats are as much racists as the Malay NGOs, and Perkasa,” he said. “Incidentally by writing this I know the meritocrat racists will condemn me as racist. So be it.”
my dear dr m, correction. long long time ago, when you were ruling for 22 years, people had already labelled you as racist. we don’t have to wait till now when you came out to support perkasa, to label you as racist.
read further ‘dr m says meritocracts are racist too’ (where above quotes taken from).
then the racist went to show further proof of his racism when he told malays to unite or else they would lose the country but… he said he is not racist! what the $@^!?(^!
“I’m not a racist who wants to incite Muslim hatred towards non-Muslims but we have certain rights that other parties must respect.
is he senile or what?
he must be, for this takes the cake:-
“And respect only comes if we are strong and in power.”
respect works both way. if you want people to respect you, you got to respect others too. it’s not a one way traffic thingy. just like being sensitive and respecting people’s rights – all these work both ways.
my dear past PM of 22 years, we don’t respect people just because they are strong and powerful. in fact, instead of ‘respect’ the appropriate word would be ‘fear’. we fear those who are strong and powerful! and that is because the people who become strong and powerful…. has become a dictator!
it is no surprise at all that these word – “And respect only comes if we are strong and in power.” – came out of dr m’s mouth, right?
