Ezam berhenti berpolitik?

Ezam akan berhenti dari berpolitik - demikian katanya kepada Malaysiakini.com Ezam Mohd Nor pernah di penjara dan di tahan di bawah Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri.
Beliau hebat memperjuangkan kebebasan Anwar Ibrahim. Selepas di bebaskan Ezam terus senyap. Kehangatan gerakan reformasi tidak seperti sebelum beliau di bebaskan. Sebaik sahaja Anwar Ibrahim di bebaskan - gerakan reformasi lebih kaku. Beliau kemudiannya baru - baru ini menubuhkan GERAK - yang di ibaratkan oleh umno-reform sebagai meng-institusikan perjuangan dan helah untuk tidak lagi aktif dalam Pemuda dan Keadilan.
Hari ini diberitakan Ezam akan kembali hanya sebagai ahli biasa dalam PKR dan akan meninggalkan politik untuk berjuang dengan cara lain - "experimental" katanya. Apa pendapat anda? Apakah ini satu langkah permulaan untuk berjinak dengan UMNO?
Apa kata mereka yang hebat dalam gerakan reformasi. Selepas komen anda editor1@umno-reform.com akan mengulas secara keseluruhan mengenai Ezam Mohd Nor yang beliau kenali.

Ezam sedar perjuangan beliau dengan Keadilan tidak kemana. Ezam , malah Anwar sendiri sedar bahawa penyertaan mereka kembali dalam umno perlu untuk survival politik mereka. Mereka akan pergi jauh khususnya Ezam dan beliau akan menoleh kebelakang dan berkata - kata ahhhh.. budak - budak reformasi itulah yang menjadikan aku pemimpin besar hari ini. Kesian mereka masih duduk melaungkan reformasi. Tapi apa nak di kata - tik tok - tik tok sedetik simpati saja boleh di beri

Saudara Ezam, saya pun tak kenal sangat secara peribadi perjuangan kamu dalam PKR,Nampak sangat peranan kamu dalam berpolitik hanya untuk DSAI,beliau dah keluar dan kamu bertindak melepaskan jawatan amat saya kesali,Hang kalo nak berjuang sebagai pejuang kena berjuang habis-habisan, bukannya setakat DSAI keluar, teruskan agenda yang tersemat dilubuk hati mu, Apakah ada satu tekanan atau ada kepentingan atau habuan yang dijanjikan oleh pihak tertentu,aku pun tak tau kalo demikianlah jadinya. Percaturan berpolitik untuk membela nasib bangsa melayu masih jauh ketinggalan, Saudara, lupakan hasrat untuk mengundurkan diri, atau lebih mulia kamu disisi ALLAH jika teruskan berjuang bersama Parti PAS yang berasaskan prinsip ISLAM.Hambakan diri kamu dalam Parti PAS,dan saya pasti mendapat hidayah dan keberkatan TAKBIR

Apapun keputusannya, kita sebagai orang melayu harus menghormatinya. Itulah nasib seorang anak bangsa yang disuratkan oleh sikap berpolitik bangsanya sendiri. Senario berpolitik malaysia, khususnya orang melayu, meletakkan Parti sebagai penentu nasib bangsa bukannya anak-anak bangsa sendiri. Baik buruk bangsa ditentukan oleh sebuah organisasi tanpa mengira apa isi yang berada dalam organisasi itu. Seorang lagi anak bangsa terpaksa kembali ke ‘tong’ untuk memperjuangkan nasib bangsanya. Itulah hakikatnya kalau kita mengandaikan organisasi itu sebagai sebuah ‘tong’. Apa boleh dibuat kalau orang melayu sepakat untuk berkeputusan bahawa hanya melalui ‘tong’ itulah anak bangsa melayu boleh dinaikkan dan bangsa ini boleh diperjuangkan. Terimalah.

Mengambil kira cara berpolitik itu, Keadilan sememangnya tidak boleh pergi ke mana. Itu adalah hakikat yang semua orang faham. Keadilan lahir kerana orang melayu tidak hiraukan nasib anak bangsanya. Hanya pentingkan ‘tong’ itu dan periuk masing-masing. Itu pun semua orang faham, cuma mungkin buat-buat tak faham. Kalau beliau tak ke tong itu, orang melayu akan kehilangan seorang anak bangsa yang ada kualiti sepertinya dalam tampuk kuasa politik orang melayu. Orang melayu telahpun kehilangan Anwar kerana ketaatan khurafat kepada ‘tong’ itu sudah tak dapat dipisahkan oleh orang melayu. Hari ini orang melayu merindukan beliau (dalam diam-diam) setelah entah hari yang ke berapa ratus, seorang anak melayu yang taat kepada ‘tong’ menaiki takhta ‘tong’ itu. Apa boleh buat. Orang melayu sanggup menggunapakai sesiapa sahaja asalkan asal isinya dari ‘tong’ itu. Kalau kayu pun kayu lah. Terima sajalah.

Orang bawahan reformasi pula perlulah rasional dalam hal ini. Mereka juga telah memainkan peranan yang tidak sedikit dalam mengubah landskap politik Malaysia dan orang melayu khususnya. TV3 hari ini tidak lagi seperti dulu. Hari ini, peranan semua wakil rakyat boleh diambil oleh oleh stesen TV itu. Kalaulah TV itu seorang orang, kabinet baru Pak Lah mungkin berlainan sedikit agaknya. Apa boleh buat, Pak Lah mungkin tak banyak pilihan. Banyak lagi kepentingan ‘tong-tong’ lain yang mesti dijaga selain ‘tong’nya sendiri. Dalam proses menjaga ‘tong-tong’ inilah ramai mereka yang boleh buat kerja tercampak keluar atau dicampak keluar.

Ezam bukan milik sesiapa. Ezam milik bangsa. Satu perkara Ezam perlu ingat, ‘tong’ itu penuh dugaan dan boleh memakan diri. Pergilah kalau kuasa yang dicari, walau ia belum tentu pasti. Kalau khidmat yang hendak diberi, ke mana saja boleh pergi. Tanyalah Karam Singh. Hari ini khidmat beliau lebih diperlukan daripada seorang wakil rakyat yang menang undi!

Semenjak dari awal kamu dibebaskan ura - ura kamu mahu menyertai umno sudah kedengaran. Pulang aje ke tempat asal mu. Hanya umno tempatnya bagi ezam berjuang menentukan nasib bangsa. Apa pun kalau hasrat sendiri yang kamu cari maka percayalah bangsa juga akan terus rugi dan sebenarnyalah kamu seorang politikus yang licik spt Anwar Ibrahim. Tapi akhirnya musnah juga

Ezam pasti berhijrah balik ke Umno. Dimana asal Ezam kita semua tahu. Sebenarnya mereka juga adalah apa yang mereka kata mengenai Umno. Maksud saya mereka lahir dari Umno, mahu tidak mahu mereka kena sedar bahawa mereka dalam Umno pun tak sebersih mana.

Menjawab Pak Ali mengenai TV3

Pak Ali TV3 ada motif politik tertentu, mereka tidak berubah kerana mereka mahu berubah. Mereka berubah kerana ada agenda mahu jatuhkan Khir Toyo, arahan sapa, kita sendiri fikir.

Apa sebenarnya berlaku ialah politik tetap politik. Kenapa mereka tidak hightlight berita - berita yang menghentam kerajaan yang lain. Bila membicarakan mengenai bagaimana Pak Lah pada awal membuat pengiraan salah mengenai pindaan 121 (1a), TV3 senyap. Mereka hanya nampk lebih terbuka kerana mereka sorokkan baik - baik agenda mereka.

Alhamdulillah, inilah saat dan ketikanya, masa yang sesuai untuk Ezam bersara terus dari politik dan memilih satu wadah memperjuangkan Islam. Moga-moga Allah membantu Ezam dalam pilihannya mencari kebenaran. Teruskan Ezam, gunakanlah bakat dan kebolehan anda untuk perjuangan Islam. Namun, berhati-hatilah, carilah wadah perjuangan yang benar-benar ikhlas memperjuangkan Islam yang sebenarnya.

Ezam memilih wadah baru - benar wadah itu adalah Umno. Sebenarnya ezam sudah sekian lama memberi indikasi untuk menyertai umno tetapi beliau harus mencari waktu yang sesuai. Beliau senyapkan reformasi dahulu lepas itu baru resign. Ezam sudah mual dengan kepimpinan keadilan khususnya Azmin. Bebudak Keadilan harus berhati - hati dengan Azmin sebelum percaya pada dia. Ezam dan Azmin sebenarnya retak menanti belah

Yes, a lot of non-malays in Malaysia are leaving this country. But what the hell, they (babiputras) don't care. They are happy that we leave.

I do agree with you of those you mentioned, our country is stepping backward, we are loosing in all aspects and yet overdue and retard ministers are still available on shelf. The ministers think that they are the only ones capable and qualified to be there and not replaceable, otherwise the country could collapse.

Looking at Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq likes looking at this country future. The well-connected bumis are getting richer. This government is spoon feeding the bumis at this nation expense. I am sick of this country too.

My advise is let them rot in their own stew.

The Barisan government has achieved 0% in reversing the trend of racism.

While South Africa has disbanded racism through the government's initiative after the global news onslaught, our Malaysia government leaders are propagating RACISM and FACISM in every way.

In term of racism, we are the most uncivilised country in the world. Look into our neighbouring countries of Asia, they are advancing economically on a straight forward objectives, for their citizens.

Whereas, we are moving in deviationist path, widely off the international economic theory, for the sole objective of propelling the well being of a supreme race.

Mahathir era is over, here we have Badawi. Is he changing the trend? Not a single sign of it! How about the future under Nazib?

Sad, sad. They have more camouflage in readiness.

Hasn't anyone realised that they (babiputras) prefer that Chinese just emigrate, so they can have the country for themselves? At least that is what they think.

I know, you will say that after the departure of the one million Chinese from Malaysia, the brain drain, there is less wealth in Malaysia, but all the same they would rather we are not there. They see us as sharing their cake, not the actual fact of us creating a bigger cake for all.

Still, from talking to other Chinese in Malaysia, they still prefer NOT to migrate, they'd rather being discriminated against, being second or third class citizens, being bullied, and continue to vote them (babiputras) into power.

Granted, some do not qualify to emigrate, especially to a western country. But ALL the ones I talked to they DO qualify, yet they prefer the comfort zone. And there are countries treating us Chinese more fairly and the migration policies are more lenient.

Can anyone explain such mentality? If that is not stupidity, you tell me what it is.

No wonder already one million Chinese left Malaysia - they are not only fed up with babiputras but also the attitude of their own race.

Absolutely agree with you……….

I feel so sad that our MCA and Gerakan……….all blind..........act like idiots, they even go to blame professional non-malays for leaving our country……….Sad to say they just want to serve their own private interests. They are the worshippers, followers of the great greedy.

They shamelessly lie, mislead and deceive on all issues, we find the traces of work of these running dogs. They distorted facts, twisting the principle of social fairness, justice and equality, for just to win a bone throws by their master.

The people acted like beasts, had already traded their souls with the devil.

My daughter scored straight As in her STPM exam in 2003, but she was only offered a place to pursue an ordinary science course in University Malaya instead of her choice pharmacy course. Other students (malay pig) with 2B 2C result had the opportunities to enter pharmacy course.

Eventually, my daughter decided to apply Singapore University, she was not only accepted to study a course of her choice, but was also offered a scholarship. Where is the justice?

Now I am thinking to emigrate to Australia for good.

Like many others say, losers will stay, go out winner.

I sympathize with you on your some bad experiences in foreign countries. I can relate 10 similar bad experiences in Malaysia, and I can also relate 10 good experiences in foreign countries. So it is not the few bad experiences that should determine your and your offspring's future.

You feel comfortable in Malaysia because that is your comfort zone, so you prefer not to leave. In a foreign country you don't know their custom as well so you might have behaved inappropriately that caused some bad vibes. Understandable.

All the same, a frog in a well can only describe the world as big as a well. I am not saying you are a frog, just a Chinese saying.

For my overseas experience, I can say that Australia is very beautiful, very high class, very nice country! Indonesia otherwise is making troubles, terrorists, robbers, pirates, they are a "negative group inferior people".

Never go to this inferior country travel, your life will be safe, don't forget terrorist attack in Bali Island. Never employ this inferior people working in your house, they can murder your family and took away your money. Never employ this inferior people working in your factory, they can damage your machines.

I suggest we must employ India, Thailand, Vietnam labours. Thank for cooperate.

Malays are lazy, narrow-minded, racist, in the real world. But they blame Chinese, Indians, white man, for many things. No wonder many person label malays as disgrace animals.

It is good for malays to go back to jungle or Africa, in order to avoid so many problems. Enough said.

Like what one said, your Umno racists label is to just rob the benefits and rights of the poor and unassuming malays who think that you are fighting for their cause. Whom are you trying to bluff?

There is nothing to be proud of melayu racist. If at all, it is only the personification of the ills facing the malays in general today.

Minus the nation building and economics, you malays are left with only politics - right before and after independence. Creeps like you should find out and address this - talked and discussed problem which does not seem to go away.

If even after almost 50 years, and after all the generous handouts, you are still a bitter man, lamenting at our Chinese and Indians successes, then go back and do a bit of homework to find out why you need to talk less and work more.

Everyone knows that they worked and struggled to build a nation, I mean sweated it out. Lest you forget history, the Chinese and Indians came here to build a country which was largely neglected. Ask yourself why?

Their sweat and pains may have been forgotten by selfish creatures cloaking in disguise in the likes of you, but this Malaysia nation shares a rich history of the "other races" contributing to the nation building, which you cannot be proud of.

Well, there are always guys like me who have tried and have been continuously denied the opportunity to "serve" this country, basically with the race card thrown at me.

Look around yourself and tell me as honestly as you can be whether, under such circumstances, I would have reasons to love this country? Unless you have a different definition for that word "love"!

To further prolong the grips of the Umno racists over the greed others, especially the Chinese, is been made the scapegoat for all things.

A fear that had has no concrete socio-economical standings. It is more psychological. For that all the Malaysians are been pull and push into the self-dug hole of only melayu racist matters most. All things are secondary.

He forgets that what he has been written is just like the saying: spitting skywards and get own face smeared.

Such a mind is wasted by simple forms rather than the deep down substances, show this guy's mind is as empty and twisted. The saddest part is that racist can write better, indicating a higher level of 'education' but more tunnel understanding of historical facts. His education is wasted, and another basket case of form over substance.

From what Umno racist has been written, it can be seen that these malays are still at the balls despite of the facts that the globalization will eventually making their factitious claim obsolete.

Many would like to dispute and point to whatever reports that claimed glories for all the developments stated for Malaysia now. There is only one word for this spurious cry - form over substance. Please think deeper to reflect this.

Just think about how Philippine goes down the drain under Marcos government. Sadder still, we are not catching up with the top. Instead we keep comparing ourselves with the bottom and sliding down the rank as we "proudly" proclaimed these achievements. How pathetic can one be!

Racist. Racist. Racist……….(50 times)

Now almost 50 years of independence, we really should review the social contract because it has not served its purpose. Somewhere along the line, it got twisted further and a religious dimension was brought in.

This is because 3rd generation non-malays born and bred on this soil is considered 'pendatang' and second class citizens. Whereas recent Indonesian newcomers and Pakistani husbands to malays enjoy better privileges.

Now this agenda is religiously skewed and that is how the Indonesians and the Pakistanis are enjoying better privileges at the expense of 3rd or 4th generation non-malay Malaysians.

This also probably explains why the Orang Asli still do not fully enjoy the privileges of the social agenda.

The NEP has only served a few. Its original motives were noble because weather you or I agree malays do need a lot of encouragement but not the sort that have been getting as opposed to the ones in Singapore.

In the 1970s in Singapore, O and A levels pass marks for Malays: 28%, Indians: 65%, Chinese: 75%, others: 50%.

This NEP discrimination only made the non-malays smarter and the malays more dumb. Pass mark for Singapore malays in state: 50%.

Singapore allow them to leave Singapore any time they want but they choose to stay because their kids are properly educate, got better opportunities, housing and health care……….And they are truly loyal to Singapore.

I would like to add further to what has mentioned.

(1) Singapore's first president was a malay. The republic has also had two Indian presidents including the present one.

(2) The republic Singapore has had two Indian deputy prime ministers including the current one.

(3) It has had two Indian foreign ministers.

(4) The country's present minister for education is an Indian.

(5) A former police chief (equivalent to Inspector-General of Police) was, yes, you guessed it, an Indian.

Can we ever expect such important government positions in Malaysia to be occupied by those representing the minority communities in Malaysia? I am afraid the minorities here can only dream.

As I said, the racial disharmony in Malaysia is not the cause of Chinese, Indians or Malays.

The fault and blame lies squarely and directly on Umno and Umno Youth leaderships, and their barrel of race-based politics and policies.

Are the malays so impoverished in intellect and ability that they need handouts to survive?

The alternative already exists - the day the malays rely on themselves, not Umno, is the day they write their own destiny.

Protection for the malays means isolation for the malays. As long as they ask for more protection, they will be isolated from the progress of the world.

In the end, they will be hiding in caves like the Taliban. Nowhere to go because of inadequate skills, or skills that are not useful to the society and humankind at large.

Income and employment statistics show the Chinese are still ahead of other races but nowhere near pre-NEP levels.

The aids and opportunities provided under the NEP, if given to non-malays would propel them sky high in half the period.

The hardship makes us better, stronger and wiser. Hence we always try our best for the better of our next generation.

If you malays don't like it here, then go back to Sumatra, Jawa, or wherever your ancestors came from and give this land back to its rightful master, the Orang Asli!

Again I see a lot of stupid and insensitive remarks made in this blog. Anuar, why do you let these people post such foul rubbish? Some thing got to be done here. Anyway, I am very disappointed with Ezam. Some knew that he was having some close-door talk with Khairy. If he is also as Anuar puts it as, “berjinak-jinak dengan UMNO," then, he has sold out his soul, his race and the chance to take part to create a better future for this nation to the “dark side.” We all know that the people of M’sia and Keadilan need his talents especially his fiery ceramah speeches to convince the ignorant majority of the tyrant BN in securing absolute power in the parliament. We can’t afford to give BN a 90% majority again. It will be a suicidal move towards destroying the good future for Malaysia. I’m very disappointed with Ezam. Very disappointed indeed!

Once again history repeats itself. Why did the Chinese from China move to Malaya (and around the world)? Because of economical reasons. A Chinese only thinks about Money FAT FAT RICH RICH RICH….this is the most important thing to them. Without prosperity and wealth they will leave and if they don’t get it (from a new country or place), they will start complaining and once again move if their demands are not fulfilled. They even pray for prosperity and wealth, what more can I say.

I don’t defy that the Chinese are good in business but the bad part is they are greedy and selfish. The problem with the Chinese is that, once they takeover the economy, they don’t know how to share with the other races. Same goes with power, a good example is Singapore.

It has been proven that a Chinese man is willing to sell his mother/sister or daughter so that he has some extra bucks in his pocket. What more the country he born to. I strongly believe that the Japanese and many other races that dislike the Chinese are not WRONG because Chinese are known as the Jews of the EAST.

By all means, I am not a racist but this is the fundamentals of a Chinese person, which cannot be changed, likewise the Malays have their own fundamentals, which also can never be changed, even for generations to come. Sometime I think, not for the raise of communalism in China, Malaya and most neighboring countries in this region will be economy doomed and conquered by the Chinese, moreover I think I will be a slave by now. Why do I say slave, because in history, the rich and powerful Chinese do have slaves whereas the Malays don’t. Frankly, I believe 99% of the Indonesian and Filipino maids abused cases here in Malaysia are by the Chinese employees. In a way I am grateful that the majority in this country are Malays whom are more reasonable. Sorry to all my Chinese friends but this are the facts of your race. For goodness sake please realize and start improving before you condemn others.

It's been interesting to read such free-flowing comments on an all "Malaysian" free for all. While we are on the subject, how many of you have read the book entitled "Contesting Malayness"? Written by a Professor of National University of Singapore. Cost S$32 (about). It reflects the Anthropologists views that there is no such race as the "Malays" to begin with. If we follow the original migration of the Southern Chinese of 6,000yrs ago, they moved into Taiwan, (now the Alisan), then into the Phillipines (now the Aeta) and moved into Borneo (4,500yrs ago) (Dayak). They also split into Sulawesi and progressed into Jawa, and Sumatera. The final migration was to the Malayan Peninsular 3,000yrs ago. A sub-group from Borneo also moved to Champa in Cambodia at 4,500yrs ago.

Interestingly, the Champa deviant group moved back to present day Kelantan. There are also traces of the Dong Song and HoaBinh migration from Vietnam and Cambodia. To confuse the issue, there was also the Southern Thai migration, from what we know as Pattani today. (see also "Early Kingdoms of the Indonesian Archipelago and the Malay Peninsular")

Of course, we also have the Minangkabau's which come from the descendants of Alexander the Great and a West Indian Princess. (Sejarah Melayu page 1-3)


So the million Dollar Question... Is there really a race called the "Malays"? All anthropologists DO NOT SEEM TO THINK SO.


Neither do the "Malays" who live on the West Coast of Johor. They'd rather be called Javanese. What about the west coast Kedah inhabitants who prefer to be known as "Achenese"? or the Ibans who simply want to be known as IBANS. Try calling a Kelabit a "Malay" and see what response you get... you’ll be so glad that their Head-Hunting days are over.

In an article in the Star, dated: Dec 3rd 2006

available for on-line viewing at:
http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2006/12/3/focus/16212814&sec=focus

An excerp is reproduced here below:

"The Malays – taken as an aggregation of people of different ethnic backgrounds but who speak the same language or family of languages and share common cultural and traditional ties – are essentially a new race, compared to the Chinese, Indians and the Arabs with their long histories of quests and conquests.

The Malay nation, therefore, covers people of various ethnic stock, including Javanese, Bugis, Bawean, Achehnese, Thai, orang asli, the indigenous people of Sabah and Sarawak and descendants of Indian Muslims who had married local women.

Beneath these variations, however, there is a common steely core that is bent on changing the Malay persona from its perceived lethargic character to one that is brave, bold and ready to take on the world. "


The definition of “Malay” is therefore simply a collection of people's who speak a similar type language. With what is meant by a similar type language does not mean that the words are similar. Linguists call this the "Lego-type" language, where words are added on to the root word to make meaning and give tenses and such. Somehow, the Indonesians disagree with this classification and insist on being called "Indonesians" even though the majority of "Malays" have their roots in parts of Indonesia? They refuse to be called "Malay"…. Anyhow you may define it.

The writer failed to identify (probably didn't know), that the "Malay" definition also includes, the Champa, Dong Song, HoabinHian, The Taiwanese Alisan and the Philippino Aetas. He also did not identify that the "Orang Asli" are (for lack of a better term) ex-Africans. If you try to call any one of our East Malaysian brothers an "Orang Asli", they WILL BEAT YOU UP! I had to repeat this because almost all West Malaysians make the same mistake when we cross the South China Sea. Worse, somehow, they feel even more insulted when you call them “Malay”. Somehow, “kurang ajar” is uttered below their breath as if “Malay” was a really bad word for them. I’m still trying to figure this one out.

Watch “Malays in Africa”; a Museum Negara produced DVD. Also, the “Champa Malays” by the same.

With this classification, they MUST also include the Phillipinos, the Papua New Guineans, the Australian Aboroginies, as well as the Polynesian Aboroginies. These are of the Australo Melanesians who migrated out of Africa 60,000yrs ago.

Getting interesting? Read on...

"Malay" should also include the Taiwanese singer "Ah Mei" who is Alisan as her tribe are the anscestors of the "Malays". And finally, you will need to define the Southern Chinese (Southern Province) as Malay also, since they are from the same stock 6,000yrs ago.

Try calling the Bugis a "Malay". Interestingly, the Bugis, who predominantly live on Sulawesi are not even Indonesians. Neither do they fall into the same group as the migrating Southern Chinese of 6,000yrs ago nor the Australo Melanesian group from Africa.

Ready for this?

The Bugis are the cross-breed between the Chinese and the Arabs. (FYI, a runaway Ming Dynasty official whom Cheng Ho was sent to hunt down) Interestingly, the Bugis were career Pirates in the Johor-Riau Island areas. Now the nephew of Daeng Kemboja was appointed the First Sultan of Selangor. That makes the entire Selangor Sultanate part Arab, part Chinese! Try talking to the Bugis Museum curator near Kukup in Johor. Kukup is located near the most south-western tip of Johor. (Due south of Pontian Kechil)

Let's not even get into the Hang Tuah, Hang Jebat, Hang Kasturi, Hang Lekiu, and Hang Lekir, who shared the same family last name as the other super famous "Hang" family member... Hang Li Poh. And who was she? the princess of a Ming Dynasty Emperor who was sent to marry the Sultan of Malacca. Won't that make the entire Malacca Sultanate downline "Baba" ? Since the older son of the collapsed Malaccan Sultanate got killed in Johor, (the current Sultanate is the downline of the then, Bendahara) the only other son became the Sultan of Perak. Do we see any Chinese-ness in Raja Azlan? Is he the descendant of Hang Li Poh?

Next question. If the Baba’s are part Malay, why have they been marginalized by NOT BEING BUMIPUTERA? Which part of “Malay” are they not? Whatever the answer, why then are the Portugese of Malacca BUMIPUTERA? Did they not come 100yrs AFTER the arrival of the first Baba’s? Parameswara founded Malacca in 1411. The Portugese came in 1511, and the Dutch in the 1600’s. Strangely, the Baba’s were in fact once classified a Bumiputera, but a decided that they were strangely “declassified” in the 1960’s. WHY?

The Sultan of Kelantan had similar roots to the Pattani Kingdom making him of Thai origin. And what is this "coffee table book" by the Sultan of Perlis claiming to be the direct descendant of the prophet Muhammed? Somehow we see Prof Khoo Khay Khim’s signature name on the book. I’ll pay good money to own a copy of it myself. Anyone has a spare?

So, how many of you have met with orang Asli’s? the more northern you go, the more African they look. Why are they called Negrito’s? It is a Spanish word, from which directly transalates “mini Negros”. The more southern you go, the more “Indonesian” they look. And the ones who live at Cameron Highlands kinda look 50-50. You can see the Batek at Taman Negara, who really look like Eddie Murphy to a certain degree. Or the Negritos who live at the Thai border near Temenggor Lake (north Perak). The Mah Meri in Carrie Island look almost like the Jakuns in Endau Rompin. Half African, half Indonesian.

By definition, (this is super eye-opening) there was a Hindu Malay Empire in Kedah. Yes, I said right… The Malays were Hindu. It was, by the old name Langkasuka. Today known as Lembah Bujang. This Hindu Malay Empire was 2,000yrs old. Pre-dating Borrobudor AND Angkor Watt. Who came about around 500-600yrs later. Lembah Bujang was THE mighty trading empire, and its biggest influence was by the Indians who were here to help start it. By definition, this should make the Indians BUMIPUTERAS too since they were here 2,000yrs ago! Why are they marginalized?

Of the 3 books listed, "Contesting Malayness" (about S$32 for soft cover) is "banned” in Malaysia; you will need to "smuggle" it into Malaysia; for very obvious reasons.... :( or read it in Singapore if you don’t feel like breaking the law.

The other, "Kingdoms of the Indonesian Archipelago, and the Malay Peninsular" (about RM84) are openly sold at all leading bookshops; Kinokuniya, MPH, Borders, Popular, Times, etc. You should be able to find a fair bit of what I’ve been quoting in this book too, but mind you, it is very heavy reading material, and you will struggle through the initial 200+ pages. It is extremely technical in nature. Maybe that’s why it wasn’t banned (yet)…coz our authorities couldn’t make head or tail of it? (FYI, if I wasn’t doing research for my film, I wouldn’t have read it in its entirety)

While the "Sejarah Melayu" (about RM 35) is available at the University Malaya bookshop. I have both the English and Royal Malay version published by MBRAS.

Incidentally, the Professor (Author) was invited to speak on this very subject about 2 yrs ago, in KL, invited by the MBRAS. You can imagine the "chaos" this seminar created...... :(

There were actually many sources for these findings. Any older Philippino Museum Journal also carries these migration stories. This migration is also on display at the Philippines National Museum in Luzon. However, they end with the Aeta, and only briefly mention that the migration continued to Indonesia and Malaysia, but fully acknowledge that all Philippinos came from Taiwan. And before Taiwan, China. There is another book (part of a series) called the "Archipelago Series" endorsed by Tun Mahatir and Marina Mohammad, which states the very same thing right at the introduction on page one. “… that the Malays migrated out of Southern China some 6,000yrs ago…”. I believe it is called the “Pre-History of Malaysia” Hard Cover, about RM99 found in (mostly) MPH. They also carry “Pre-History of Indonesia” by the same authors for the same price.

It is most interesting to note that our Museum officials invented brand new unheard-of terms such as "Proto-Malay" and "Deutero-Malay", to replace the accepted Scientific Term, Australo-Melanesians (African descent) and Austronesians (Chinese Descent, or Mongoloid to be precise) in keeping in line with creating this new “Malay” term.. They also created the new term called the Melayu-Polynesian. (Which Melayu exists in the Polynesian Islands?) Maybe they were just trying to be “Patriotic” and “Nationalistic”… who knows…? After all, we also invented the term, “Malaysian Time”. While the rest of the world calls it “Tardy” and “Late”. It’s quite an embarrassment actually…. Singaporeans crossing the border are asked to set their watches back by about 100yrs, to adjust to “Malaysian Time”…

In a nutshell, the British Colonial Masters, who, for lack of a better description, needed a “blanket” category for ease of classification, used the term “Malay”.

The only other logical explanation, which I have heard, was that “Malaya” came as a derivative of “Himalaya”, where at Langkasuka, or Lembah Bujang today was where the Indians were describing the locals as “Malai” which means “Hill People” in Tamil. This made perfect sense as the focal point at that time was at Gunung Jerai, and the entire Peninsular had a “Mountain Range” “Banjaran Titiwangsa”, as we call it.

The Mandarin and Cantonese accurately maintain the accurate pronunciation of “Malai Ren” and “Malai Yun” respectively till this very day. Where “ren” and “yun” both mean “peoples”.

Interestingly, “Kadar” and “Kidara”, Hindi and Sanskrit words accurately describe “Kedah” of today. They both mean “fertile Land for Rice cultivation. Again, a name given by the Indians 2,000yrs ago during the “Golden Hindu Era” for a duration of 1,500yrs.

It was during the “Golden Hindu Era” that the new term which the Hindu Malay leaders also adopted the titles, “Sultan” and “Raja”. The Malay Royalty were Hindu at that time, as all of Southeast Asia was under strong Indian influence, including Borrobudor, and Angkor Watt. Bali today still practices devout Hindu Beliefs. The snake amulet worn by the Sultans of today, The Royal Dias, and even the “Pelamin” for weddings are tell-tale signs of these strong Indian influences. So, it was NOT Parameswara who was the first Sultan in Malaya. Sultanage existed approximately 1,500years before he set foot on the Peninsular during the "Golden Hindu Era" of Malaysia. And they were all Hindu.

“PreHistory of Malaysia” also talks about the “Lost Kingdom” of the “Chi-Tu” where the local Malay Kingdom were Buddhists. The rest of the “Malays” were Animistic Pagans.

But you may say, "Sejarah Melayu" calls it "Melayu"? Yes, it does. Read it again; is it trying to describe the 200-odd population hamlet near Palembang by the name "Melayu"?(Google Earth will show this village).

By that same definition, then, the Achehnese should be considered a “race”. So should the Bugis and the Bataks, to be fair. Orang Acheh, Orang Bugis, Orang Laut, Orang Melayu now mean the same… descriptions of ethnic tribes, at best. And since the “Malays” of today are not all descendants of the “Melayu” kampung in Jambi (if I remember correctly), the term Melayu has been wrongly termed. From day one. Maybe this is why the Johoreans still call themselves either Bugis, or Javanese until today. So do the Achehnese on the West coast of Kedah & Perlis and the Kelantanese insist that they came from Champa, Vietnam.

Morover, the fact that the first 3 pages claiming that "Melayu" comes from Alexander the Great and the West Indian Princess doesn't help. More importantly, it was written in 1623. By then, the Indians had been calling the locals “Malai” for 1,500 yrs already. So the name stuck….

And with the Sejarah Melayu (The Malay Annals in page 1-3) naming the grandson of Iskandar Zulkarnain, and the West Indian Princess forming the Minangkabau. Whenever a Malay is asked about it, he usually says it is "Karut" (bullshit), but all Malayan based historians insist on using Sejarah Melayu as THE main reference book for which "Malay" history is based upon. The only other books are “Misa Melayu”, "Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa", and “Hikayat Hang Tuah” which is of another long and sometimes “heated” discussion.

I find this strange.

I also find, that it is strange that the "Chitti's" (Indian+Malay) of Malacca are categorized as Bumiputera, while their Baba brothers are not. Why? Both existed during the Parameswara days. Which part of the “Malay” side of the Baba’s is not good enough for Bumiputera classification? Re-instate them. They used to be Bumiputera pre 1960’s anyway.

Instead of "Malay", I believe that "Maphilindo" (circa 1963) would have been the closest in accurately trying to describe the Malays. However, going by that definition, it should most accurately be "MaphilindoThaiChinDiaVietWanGreekCamfrica". And it is because of this; even our University Malaya Anthropology professors cannot look at you in the eye and truthfully say that the word "Malay" technically and accurately defines a race.

This is most unfortunate.

So, in a nutshell, the “Malays” (anthropologists will disagree with this “race” definition) are TRULY ASIA !!! For once the Tourism Ministry got it right….

We should stop calling this country “Tanah Melayu” instead call it, “Tanah Truly Asia”

You must understand now, why I was "tickled pink" when I found out that the Visit Malaysia slogan for 2007 was "Truly Asia". They are so correct... (even though they missed out Greece and Africa)

BTW, the name UMNO should be changed to UTANO the new official acronym for “United Truly Asia National Organization” . After all, they started out as a Bugis club in Johor anyway….

I told you all that I hate race classifications…. This is so depressing. Even more depressing is that the "malays" are not even a race; not since day one.


“Truly Asia Boleh”

F***k Muslims and all malay pig in Malaysia.

I feel ashamed to call myself a Malaysian nowadays because you malay pig are making us losing our pride day by day by corrupting the once dignified image of this country, you know Malaysia is now a laughing stock among the non-Muslim countries in the world!

People despise this country still protecting the lame lot and not doing anything to improve the deteriorating situation, still practising double standards among its own people, still expelling the non-malay genius to other countries, still depriving the rights and benefits of other races to its own race, still criticize and blame the Chinese for their minority poverty.

Hey, what is wrong with you malay pig? Haven't you fed yourself enough with the loots yet? Still want more? What a worthless thieves bunch!

You malay pig are worse than a maggot. We need a leader not a faggot to rule this country. Get lost you freak!

For all the bad things you stupid melayu babi say about the Chinese, when you are in trouble and big shit, what do you do?

You come crawling back on your knees to the Chinaman to help you, because you can't trust all your malay pig who are sodomy rapists, incest culprits, drug addicts.

Without the Chinese, you malay pig will still live on trees, swinging from tree to tree like monkeys, or forages on the ground by your 4 legs to eat all the shit.

You malay pig are a truly ungrateful lot - the minute all the Chinese leave Bolehland - you malay pig will collapse into the sea and die - that is your destiny!

I think the problem of malay pig race is their culture - it is in born in their gene - nowhere in the world that you will see affirmative action is focusing on the majority because it is always the minority that need the protection.

Worst, the minority in Malaysia has been systematically marginalized just to suppress them of their growth.

Let the malay pig make Malaysia the most corrupted place to live in and see what happened in 2020? I guess malay pig will go back to Indonesia as Malaysia don't belong to them, they are also immigrants from Sumatra, Sulawesi, Jawa, etc.

Please get it into your pea-sized otak udang plastered with layers and layers of tahi babi encased in your kepala kayu that Malaysia belong to the Orang Asli who are the true bumis of the country.

Niffy pellmell malay pig are in fact pendatang haram who swam across the Melaka Strait illegally from Sumatra. They should be caught, given severe caning and deported back to their pig sties in Sumatra.

I am sure the one who hold anonymous is definitely Islam/malay.

Since he is complaining the other religion believes in more than one God and keep on bullshitting on the same thing for more than half of the passage.

Well - that is again proved that malays is always lack of common sense and knowledge but trying to confirm their existing……….LOL.

For the other issue that he claims that Chinese and Indian didn't do anything about malay government is like child complaining to parents. It is seriously a big joke.

Why did those malays never think? I really wondering……….

They can speak, they have their culture, they have their history, but they never think!

Now I really think that the term civilization should really reconstruct it is meaning……….

Race that doesn't know how to think should not include in civilization field!

And for reply to that idiot above.

Chinese and Indians didn't do anything because we are civilization and polite race. Unlike some Islam bastards, they do violent and violent that ruins everything of everyone……….you want example?

Tell me what had Osama did, why did Saddam died?

There are a lots of examples that show malays are non-educated race, violent race and more likely to be barbarous race.

A news from Star Malaysia: A driver accidentally hit a malay villager, then after a moment the whole malay village people coming to that driver and trying to beat him, luckily that driver was smart and escape the nearest police station, guess what happen next? His vehicle is inside the river after he run away!

Is that enough for example?

Or you are just another malay that trying to make yourself thinks that is reasonable? Or you still need more to accept that malays are violent?

Whatever is your answer, we don't bother!

Because - why should a human being scold an animal? Is pointless to do so isn't it?

(Perhaps animal is better than malay, at least animals only attack to protect themselves……….malays? They attack for everything they want - nice example of Malaysia government always help malays and malays will only continue to support government for the sake of that help!)
