THE EXTREMISTS

Dear Fairuz,

I did not intend to provoke the Malays.I just want to inspire the Malays to work hard and stand on their own feet.

Do you know why Tun introduced Look East policy ?So that the Malays can work hard like the Japanese and South Koreans.

Do you know why Tun introduced Proton cars? So that the Malays can have something to be proud of and achieve more successes.

Do you know why Tun described the Malays special rights as tongkat?So that the Malays feel embarrassed and want to abolish the special rights themselves.

Do you know why Tun said 90% of income tax contributed by the Chinese?So that the Malays feel humiliated and work very hard to contribute to the nation.

Do you know why Tun cried in UMNO meeting?Because the Malays disappoint him despite much efforts put in by him.

Do you know why Tun supported the idea of Malaysia boleh?Because he thinks the Malays still can excel if they change their attitude.

I hope all Malays can inspired to work hard for the benefit of Malaysia.

Agaknya bilakah kita boleh tersedar bahawa strategi yang sama digunakan untuk menukarkan "malaysia" menjadi "SINGAPURA". Maka terdadailah bumi Malaysia, dan mungkin satu hari nanti azan mungkin tidak dibenarkan kerana menganggu ketenteraman :)

Assalamualaikum YABhg Tun & Everyone

Dear Uphold Justice

FYI, from the very beginning I couldnt subscribe to your provocative ideas it is because I have hundreds of good and close chinese friends and thousands of chinese pals, most of them are not in favor to what you hyave said.

You know, the very existence of people like you doesnt give any harm to Malays, but harmful to your own people in fact. Therefore, I would rather maintain my intelectual thoughts to not to answer nor comment nor being wasted to any of your write-ups and intents.

Because looking back in time, you are just the same to a brainless person who brought a Big Sweep during DAP victory parade around Kuala Lumpur on 11-12th May 1969, where because of peolpe like you, many hundreds/thousands of innocent have to suffer. I hope you understand.
Thank you & kamsia

Fairuz Bin Kamarulzaman

Tun,
Whatever it is I believe the Std of M'sian education must be improved & then maintained.Otherwise you will continue to see many students seeking overseas education rich or poor.The poor of course suffer more for they are made to feel forever indebted if the benefactor is not his Father.There is nobody like your real daddy!!!
Honestly speaking what is wrong with learning Science & Maths in English???I'm sure Tun also agrees with me 'cos Tun also studied these important subjects in English.As the majority of people in Malaysia are Malays I did not strongly object to BM being the official language in the country.I understand that the medium of instruction for important subjects like Medicine & dentistry in MU is in English now.I also discovered the English std has dropped a lot until only those who had gone through tertiary education can converse well in English.If the extremists object to the use of English they only derail our development plans & stifle their own children's progress!!!

Salam Tun

Frankly, I really hate those extrimists. They create one problem to another baseless. The victims are those children that in future will lead this country. May Allah bless this country always.

Salam, Tun,

George Bush melabelkan Islam “pengganas” dan dunia geli hati melihat kebenaran sebaliknya. Masyarakat hari ini bijak mengenali dalang September 11. Hakikat dunia hari ini ialah masyarakat menjadi intelek dan “menilai” sebelum “membeli”. Label dan kebenaran dua perkara berbeza, dan penilaian menjadi darah yang mengalir dalam kehidupan harian.

Masyarakat berhijrah dari masyarkat purba kepada moden. Mereka mahukan terbaik dari terbaik. Mereka bukan sekadar memerlukan pelajaran tetapi mahukan menentukan kaedah pembelajarannya. Rakyat mahukan yang terbaik dari yang terbaik dengan asas kepercayaan masing-masing, samada mengikut asas kepercayaan di laluan yang benar atau sebaliknya.

Oleh itu persoalannya ialah apakah yang terbaik kepada dua pihak bergelar “rakyat” dalam satu “negara” dikenali Malaysia?

Pihak kedua mahukan Sains dan Matematik di ajar dalam Bahasa Inggeris kerana percaya berupaya lebih memahami di dalam Bahasa Inggeris. Mereka percaya bahasa ketiga, iaitu Bahasa Inggeris, dapat memudahkan mereka maju ke hadapan di dalam perkara membuat kiraan matematik dan kajian sains. Mereka ini bukan puak extremist dan tidak menjadi persoalan di sini. Mereka telah menjadikan industri pekerjaan sebagai padang Bahasa Inggeris, dan kini berjuang menukarkan saki baki dan habuk-habuk yang masih ada.

Pihak pertama dilabelkan “extremist” kerana percaya Sains dan Matematik mesti diajar dalam Bahasa Melayu. Apakah mereka mahukan? Adakah ianya semata-mata persoalan bahasa atau kerana faktor selainnya? Sebaliknya, pihak kedua percaya Sains dan Matematik mesti diajar dalam Bahasa Inggeris. Apakah yang mereka mahukan?

Masyarakat moden tidak membuat pertimbangan mudah menganggap persoalan di sini semata-mata berkaitan bahasa. Tidak mungkin bagi mereka yang mempunyai nilai-nilai menghormati orang tua-tua, menjunjung budi bahasa yang tinggi dan mengenang jasa baik orang lain. Ini bukan ciri-ciri sebenar masyarakat pribumi di sini.

Selainnya mereka yang memperjuangkan bukan kanak-kanak sekolah dan dan tiada kaitan dengan polisi di sini. Persoalan bahasa juga tidak menjadi persoalan kerana rata-rata universiti di Malaysia menggunakan Bahasa Inggeris sebagai bahasa penghantaran. Lambat laun akan menggunakan Bahasa Inggeris di universiti dan dalam bidang pekerjaan masing-masing.

Jadi apakah diperjuangkan? Jawapannya mudah dan tak perlu lagi dinyatakan kerana sesiapa yang masih memegang nilai sebagai rakyat Malaysia di lubuk hati mereka pasti mengetahui perjuangan sebenar. Oleh itu, persoalan sebenar bukanlah persoalan bahasa tetapi nilai yang masih ada untuk mengelkan kepada dunia bahawa kita rakyat di bumi Malaysia.

Sekiranya nilai bahasa menjadi persoalan sebenar di sini, maka lihat sahaja filem Hong Kong. Adakah rakyat Hong Kong berbahasa Inggeris dengan baik walaupun setelah sekian lama dijajah British? Kita lihat Jacky Chan, Stephen Chow dan pelakon Hong Kong selainnya? Bagaimana pula pelakon drama Korea, China, Taiwan, Jepun? Bagaimana filem-filem Bollywood atau Hindi? Adakah mereka mahir berbahasa Inggeris? Adakah rakyat negara ini mahu sistem pendidikan mereka ditukarkan kepada Bahasa Inggeris? Adakah Bahasa Inggeris penghalang kemajuan? Jika ini benar maka negara ini akan ketinggalan dan menjadi negara mundur.

Jentera sebenar menjadikan kita negara maju bukanlah bahasa, tetapi nilai kerakyatan di hati setiap rakyat Malaysia. Inilah ciri utama pada setiap negara maju, mereka bangga menjadi rakyat dan bangga dengan negara mereka. Nilai inilah yang diperlukan untuk maju ke hadapan, dan bukan nilai “low self esteem” dengan negara sendiri.

Namun dan jika nilai ini digadai, kita menjadi bangsa cetak rompak”. Kita tidak menjadi “mat salleh” dan tidak menjadi “orang Malaysia”. Kita tidak original dan tidak juga menjadi produk palsu atau rosak. Kita menjadi rakyat “cetak rompak”, tidak beridentiti dan tiada nilai kenegaraan. Sekiranya terjadi sesuatu, mereka inilah yang pertama bermigrasi ke negara lain dan enggan pulang, sepertimana rakyat kita di luar negera dan sebilangan di sini yang tanpa segan silu mengaku terang-terangan di blog untuk bermigrasi.

Ini kerana kita telah perdagangkan hampir keseluruhan nilai kerakyatan yang ada, dan kini akan menghapuskan nilai terakhir untuk dibekalkan kepada anak bangsa kita pada masa hadapan demi menanam kecintaan menjadi rakyat Malaysia, bukan rakyat Amerika, bukan rakyat Eropah . Sebaliknya, apakah pula yang akan kita perdagangkan lagi pada masa hadapan, apabila telah hampir keseluruhannya diperdagangkan? Rakyat kita?

Kembali kepada persoalan awal, adakah ini menjadi kebaikan kepada kedua-dua pihak bergelar rakyat Malaysia tetapi dengan berbilang bangsa? Sangat meragukan apabila pertimbangan dibuat berdasarkan nilai kenegaraan di mata dunia. Sesuatu yang terbaik kepada kedua-dua pihak ialah mempertahankan negara Malaysia agar bersama dapat memupuk hati yang tegar berkobar berjuang memperkenalkan Malaysia di mata dunia. Nilai-nilai kerakyatan perlu dipelihara bagi mempertahankan kemerdekaan dan kedaulatan negara.

Oleh itu dan sekiranyalah perjuangan mempertahankan saki baki nilai kerakyatan Malaysia dilabelkan “extremist”, sekiranyalah perjuangan menyamai perjuangan bapa kemerdekaan dilabelkan “racist”, maka Malaysia mungkin sudah terkubur, atau mungkin negara dahulunya dikenali sebagai Malaysia telah tidak lagi wujud dalam peta hati rakyat hari ini.

Sekian, wassalam.

To all,

Sorry if my statements hurts anybody here.I just want to withdraw my statements before everybody asks me to treat them rojak and cendul.

I am strictly anticommunism.Communism is a system where everybody get the same salary even though they work more or do nothing.That is why I dislike the fact that someone gets paid for doing nothing.

Selamat tengahari Tun...

and to all members of chedet.com

Today once again "Upholdjustice" have make an crazy statement(2nd June)in this blog...

What' wrong with you?

Are you mad because you feel your taxpayment has been wrongly use by the government? Do you think your money go straight into the safe box inside the palace? We all like others Malaysian also pays the tax but we all never wonder so much where it goes...we positively sure(the tax)it will been used to develop and to improved the public infrastructure, facilities and services.

"Yap Ah Loy developed klang and the Sultan happily received the taxes." Reading to your statement...it shows in that time the tax is a MUST...BUT the tax rules and implementation was been intruduce by The British Collanial and they are who the one that make those situation becomes harder for the Sultan's to make an a best decision.

So why on earth you still mubling,bubbling and make a crazy statement like that. If u want to eat rojak...go ahead! No body will ask you to stop buying the rojak...and if you want to "belanja" the rojak for us too, we don't mind at all but the rojak MUST also come with a cendol too...baru "matching" maa...

Positively after all we still can see the Malaysian citizen with many races seating together side by side in harmony eating and enjoying the delicious rojak's and cendol's. And for your information Uphold...The Sultan's and they families also love to eat at those foods too...

Remember bro...your dark words is a very-very dangerous to all Malaysian out there...and there are people who have the "law authority" also reading at your statements wright here wright now. So.. Mind your words here...

Make sure that you are responsible to each of your very dark words in this blog.

And thus words really shows to us all THAT YOU ARE REALLY BELIVED AND CARRYING THE COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA AND DOCTRIN IN THIS COUNTRY...YOU MIGHT DO OR NOT BUT YOUR DARK WORDS,IT'S REALLY SHOWS WHAT IS GOING INSIDE IN YOUR MIND AND YOUR SOUL...

YOU BETTER WATCH OUT..DON'T PLAY WITH THE FIRE...SOONNER OR LATER IT WILL BURN TILL BECOME ASH AT YOU INSIDE OUT...

answer : Assalamualaikum warahmatullahibarakatuh !
Dr. Ahmad Kamar ~Bismillahirahmanirahim !
1. We are all held to ransom by extremists. We want to be rational and we all want to do what is best for ourselves and our country. We all want the best for our children and their future. But we cannot do all these because if we do we will be accused of being traitors, not supporting our own community or our own religion. We will be demonized etc.etc.
a) What does he mean by “extremist” ? Are they persons who used violent methods to bring about “forced plan” for change ? His hiding behind the political terminology and compelling attention diverting to another issue. Unfortunately his stament on extremists is in fact a reflection of himself as an experienced extremist. Moreover his tenet or doctrine of philosophy is in general indistinct.
b) We have never come across the full PPSMI REPORT (Three billion or RM3,000,000,000,00 budget. It takes almost 09 (Nine) times around the circumference of the earth [ equitorial ] ( = 25,000 miles X 1760 yards X 3 feet X 12 inches) to finish pasting or collecting one RM notes of 4.45” length ! as compared to RAZAK REPORT 1956 and ABDUL RAHMAN TALIB REPORT(revision) 1960 are available everywhere.
[ It is difficult to visualize just how many dollars there are in $1 billion. The politicians who are spending fortunes in government money make it sound as though they are dealing in smaller numbers by removing quite a few digits.]
[ WHAT IS A BILLION? Now here's a reality check! This is too true to be very funny...The next time you hear a politician use the word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about whether you want the 'politicians' spending YOUR tax money. A billion is a difficult number to comprehend...],
c) The statement is without bedrock accusing those opposing as certain governent projects (forced ones) as extremists. Mahathir, before he could be accepted back to UMNO he was labelled as leader of “ultra Malay” group. MALAY Delimma was banned.
d) To make himself clean and sober he should withdraw the official statement he made that ‘only Malay language to be used as a medium of instruction at university level’. See : Utusan Melayu March the 7th, 1969.
2. So willy-nilly we become the instruments of these extremists and their narrow jingoism, to our own detriment.

(a) Accusing people of jingoism without facts is de trop, intrusive. It is a political stunt. It is better to discuss saparately between the PPSMI and English Language teaching methods and approach academically. We have thousand pages of documents ; we have facts and figures to be discussed with any member of PPSMI group. We have seen that political desicions especially “forced plan” nad force projects ; those without proper research and legitimacy always brought disaster to the society.
(b) What is your philosophy or objective of education during the tenure of power for 23 years ? Was it in the scope of “trial and error methods“ applied by Malaysian education ever since ? Since independent we are still in the “process” of trial ; and certain projects are undergoing “clinical trials”.
3. In Malaysia we are constantly being asked to confront each other on racial issues. Disputes cannot be resolved by rigidity in our stand. But we have to be rigid if we do not want to be vilified.
a) This is a different issue al all. Firstly, you should refer to the Fedaeral Constitution, AKTAs and all “political desicions per se” . Secondly, the bedrock of democracy is “separation of powers”. Do we have it and fight for the truth and nothing but the truth ? THIS THE BEDROCK OF NEGARA MERDEKA. What shall we say those leaders who oppose it ?
4. It is a miracle that this multi-racial country has remained stable and peaceful for so long. If the extremists can have their way we would all be at each others' throats. We would be demonstrating in the streets and at the airports. If we do not accede to the wishes of the extremists then we cannot even make a living, there will be no investments and no jobs for the workers.
a) Why using “extriemist” term instead of inviting them (scholars and educationists or teachers) (please not selected few) to discuss PENYATA PPSMI academically.
b) The socio-cultrual and economic infrastructure of the country in several aspects and sectors is still “unbalanced”.
5. Today we are grappling with the problem of education. We have three streams and woe betide anyone who suggests that we should not have them. We talk of liberal society, of free speech, but if you express some commonsensical views you would be labelled racist.
a) See 2 (a) and (b) ~
6. Then there is the controversy over the teaching of science and mathematics in English. We curse the person who had proposed this, calling him a betrayer of his mother tongue, of the national language. Then there are those who want to carry out a nationwide strike if the policy is not changed.
a) Legally It is against the Fasal 152 of Federal Constitution and AKTA PENDIDIKAN 1968
b) Due to our haste to bring secular progress to Malaysia we ingnored the old policy and Constitution and put into effect the English policy. Those countries do not use English like China Japan, Korea, German and France do not use English but they are successful . See the rankings of results of IMO, INTERNATIONAL MATHEMATICAL OLYMPIAD since 1959. 54 COUNTRIES USED THEIR NATIONAL LANGUAGES .
c) EXTREMISTS RACISTS AND ALL SORTS OF NAMES AND TERMINOLOGIES ARE OUT OF CONTEXTUAL SITUATIONS.
THERE ARE FIVE AYATS THAT I FOUND IN Al-QURAN ABOUT “HAQ” OR THE “TRUTH”. THE TRUTH IS FROM RABBIKA (ALLAH). “The truth is from your RAB (Lord) ; so be not at all in doubt” _Al Baqarah : 147. So divorce not religious tenet and its grand values. Maaf.

7. I am ready to surrender to the extremists, to pay the ransom demanded. What does it matter if the country goes up in flames, if the extremists win the day? What does it matter if the life of our children and their children is blighted? Anything for a quiet life. I want to be a member of the silent majority and just acquiesce. However the habit of a lifetime just refuse to go.
b) How do you understand and interpret the Al Quran : see Surah Ibrahim (14) : ayat 04 which has a focus on language ?
وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلاَّ بِلِسَانِ قَوْمِهِ لِيُبَيِّنَ لَهُمْ فَيُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهْدِي مَن يَشَآءُ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ }
And We have not sent any Messenger except with the tongue, with the language, of his people, that he might make [the Message] clear to them, that he might make them understand what he brings to them; God then sends astray whomever He will and He guides whomever He will; and He is the Mighty, in His kingdom, the Wise, in His actions.

**For further explanation please refer to the footnotes : “the language” and ” He pleases” of the same ayat or any ayat in the al-Quran . For tafsir you may refer to other scholars..

Dear Tun, salam sejahtera harap sihat bahagia. Kiriman ini membahas komen setengah pengunjung Tun tentang penguasaan ekonomi...

..............BOLOT EKONOMI

Masih ada juga orang melihat kedai dan perniagaan kaum lain dan buat simpulan kaum ini membolot ekonomi negara. Ekonomi negara bukan saja kedai jual beli! Ia merangkumi urusan yg tak nampak dari tepi jalan. Yg berada di tepi jalan itu ekonomi paling risiko dan susah.

Ekonomi negara ada swasta, awam dan syarikat milik krjn (GLC, badan berkanun, institusi khas). Di M'sia ekonomi swasta majmuk sikit, sektor awam 90% bumiputera, sama juga syarikat/institusi milik krjn.

..............EKONOMI DAPUR?

Lihat ekonomi awam dan syarikat milik krjn. Ekonomi dapur ini bukan bakar satay atau jual nasi lemak!

___Pekerjaan awam

Sektor awam 1.15juta pekerja (90%bumi). Banding 26juta rakyat, nisbah 20 orang, 1 pekerja awam makan gaji cukai! Antara nisbah tertinggi di dunia.

___Syarikat GLC

Semua syarikat milik MOF, Khazanah, PNB, LTAT, TabungHaji, KWSP adalah kelompok GLC. Nilai pegangan menjangkau 40% nilai pasaran Bursa M'sia. Menggaji 5% seluruh tenaga kerja M'sia. Majikan kedua terbesar selepas khidmat awam.

10 syarikat nilai teratas di bursa, 7 GLC (1Sime,2Maybank,3Tenaga,4MISC,5CIMB,9Petronas Gas,10Axiata)

___Bekalan asas

Ini semua dipegang GLC, letrik(TNB), gas (Petronas), air(krjn negeri atau GLC),telekomunikasi(TELEKOM), jalanraya tol (Plus), khidmat pos(Pos M'sia), penerbangan (MAS), perkapalan (MISC)

___Pemborongan

Borong beras(Bernas), ikan (Majuikan), pertanian (Fama)

___Sumber asli

Sumber asli minyak (Petronas), balak (Krjn Negeri), perladangan (Synergy,Sime Darby)

Sumber Petronas secebis boleh beli seluruh KL (wang membina Putrajaya, menara kembar, Kertih dah tahu)

___Peruncitan

Perniagaan beli belah besar besar semua milik asing (Giant, Carrefour). Yg lain PNB ada kepentingan (Jusco, Tesco)

___Perbankan, pelaburan

Tiga bank terbesar Maybank, CIMB, RHB (Milik GLC)

Pemegang pelaburan terbesar bursa, PNB

___Industri berat

Perwaja, Proton, Hicom

___Kompleks beli belah mega

Mid Valley Development (Swasta) vs KL Sentral (GLC)

Mid Valley mall (Swasta) vs Suria KLCC (GLC)

1 Utama(Swasta) vs Sungei Wang/Bkt Bintang Plaza(GLC)

Wang membina menara kembar (2bil) boleh bina hampir 3 ribu rumah kedai, sebanyak di Shah Alam?

..................KONGSI?

Apa lagi nak dikongsi? Apa lagi yg nak orang serah? Dah bolot di atas tak cukup? Kedai hasil titik peluh bertumuran kena serah juga? Taburan kaum pekerja sektor di atas lihat mata sendiri.

Dgn peluang pekerjaan lumayan di atas mana ada lagi Melayu nak susah payah berniaga.Yg gigih berniaga golongan tak ada pilihan (tiada peluang atau pelajaran tinggi) terpaksa bertarung modal, menggadai masa berniaga.

Salam Tun

Dear Uphold Justice (on June 1, 2009 4:47 PM),
Are you representing for “WE” and “ALL”?

Astonish, beyond belief!!

I guess if you can create a speaker’s corner along Chow Kit Road and speak yourself like a fool, your fellow ordinary country men who already dressed for success for many years might bring tons of garbage dumps at you. Why should you spoil the market? Aren’t you strive yourself to be one of them? After 50 years of Merdeka, you are telling yourself you have endured unfair treatment? I believe you MUST be lazy bum useless ungrateful rakyat.

Maaf Tun

Selamat malam Tun...

members chedet.com...

Please do read this story...it's releven to this extremist matter...relate to why and what is happening in Malaysia politics now, those problems and hot issues uprissing by the extrem groups and by some individual...(nak jadi jaguh kot...jaguh yang terselindung maksud dan tersirat niat dan hasrat)...

1. Recently there has been an uproar over some section of the Malaysian political parties that are advocating the return of a well known man that has been EXCILED from Malaysia forever, Chin Peng.

2. For those that has not learn their history, or a non Malaysian, or even an ignorant Malaysian, Ching Peng was the leader of the “Parti Komunis Malaya” or “Malayan Communist Party” better known by the older generation as “Bintang Tiga” due to their usage of 3 "red stars" as their logo.

3. Chin Peng and several other PKM leaders were exiled after the “Baling Treaty”, where the party refused to agree to the first Malaysian Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman to put down their weapon and work together in the newly independent Malaya.

4. BUT recently some party had put up the simply motion to forgive Chin Peng, and let him return easily to this country, much to the chagrin of many, especially older Malays, the ex-soldiers, ex-police and ex volluntters during the emergency era, 70's and 80's operations.

5. For SOME BLURED younger generation, it seems that this is what they want. Blogs have popped up telling the PKM’s WHITE side of history, that they in fact did fight for the independence of Malaya at the time. They are saying that what the Government had feeding the people all this while were untrue, and they were not as bad as they have been portrayed. Indeed, some of them even described how they had helped community and such.

6. Such blogs right now have a LARGE following from the younger Malaysians. Indeed why not? They never has known how was it to live during the “DARURAT”, and for them, most of what the government tell them is bullshit, thus if this is something the contradict what the government is saying, it must be true. Thus they are quite open to the idea of allowing back Chin Peng to Malaysia. AND THIS IS THE IMPORTANT POINT FOR THE DARKSIDE OF "POLITINGHKING" AND THE BAD "POLITIKUS" TO SPREAD THE COMMUNISME PROPAGANDA AND DOCTRINE.

7. It’s full of ONE SIDED story, where they are just telling people the good side of things, and LEFT OUT SO MANY other DARK facts. TRUTH facts that has leaved bad scars in many of the older generation that they would rather die than let the leader of PKM return to this country.

8. Indeed, many of the PKM’s EXTREM action was horrendous. Relying on guerilla tactics and scare, they terrorised villagers, looted them and in many cases, KILLED them in cold blood. They considered themselves freedom fighters, to fight for a free Malaya, but indeed did they? Did Chin Peng and others PKM member still remember to the most horrific and bloody killing of the BUKIT KEPONG POLICE STATION TRAGEDY...we all Malaysians will never simply forget about it!

9. If they had wanted to do that, why did they resorted to this action in the first place, and did not work alongside some of the major party at the time that also wanted to do the same thing? The reason is simple, their idea of a “free” Malaya was different from what the majority of the people of that time wanted.

10. They wanted to create a COMMUNIST MALAYA!, something that does not suit well, not only with the people, but even in their ranks. Shamsiah Fakeh, one of the most prominent leaders of PKM left the party after she didn’t see eye to eye with Chin Peng over this issue after she realised that what she fought for for so long was nothing more than a false promise.

11. Indeed, some of the action rattled her because not only it was cruel, but unIslamic. How Islamic is it to kill someone who not only has the same religion as you, but unarmed?

12. It is not something that you can simply say “Hey, I’m kinda sorry for what happen. Can you let me in?”. It's true, Chin Peng was born in Perak,Malaya, but he NEVER FOUGHT TRULY for the Malayan sake. His original goal is to get the (then) Communist Doktrine influence to live here through his party, and thus create a "republic country" that would in fact be just a puppet to the communist movement.

Sounds too much? Might be, but that was certainly what the TRUTH was. And to quote what Professor Emeritus Tan Sri Khoo Kay Khim had said;
"It was the MCP that put pressure on Britain to pull out of Malaya. The leftists always think it was because of them. But world politics was changing, and America felt it had to play a part in stopping Communism; and it felt that nationalism was the only way to check Communism. This put pressure on Britain to give us independence.
During the two weeks the MCP had control of the country, between the Japanese retreat and British return, the communists had in their hands the opportunity to prove that they could govern this country well. Instead, the MCP SOUGHT REPRISAL AND STARTED THE FIRST MAJOR RACIAL RIOTS IN THIS COUNTRY. They should have gone around helping the people get over the war, but they didn’t.

This is where they FAILED.

People wonder why the Baling talks of 1955 failed, when we could have ended the entire communist problem there and then(Prime minister designate) Tunku Abdul Rahman turned down their REQUEST to be registered as a political party BECAUSE the communist constitution calls for a "REPUBLIC COUNTRY". And that militates against our own constitution!"

13. For information... I never experienced the "Emergency", thus I don’t really have that emotional scare from the PKM unlike the older generation like my parents and grandparents. But I do agree with Prof. Khoo’s TRUTH view on this matter.

14. And now we can feel and see those Communist Doktrine influence are being spread through the movement of some political parties in Malaysia. The mind and soul of younger Malaysians now is been feed countinuosly by those extrem group act, outlaw behave and by untruth individual voices.

REMINDER TO ALL MALAYSIANS, WE ALL MUST ALWAYS STAND TRUE TOGETHER TROUGH THIS TOUGH TIME.

SELAMAT PETANG TUN & to all members of chedet...

Selamat petang Tun and kepada members of chedet yang setia dan sentiasa berpegang teguh pada kebenaran fakta dan sejarah...

kepada fairuzstone...

Saya bersetuju dengan pendapat dan komentar anda pada 2 Jun 2009. Suara amaran anda mewakili semua rakyat yang masih waras serta berpegang teguh pada setiap fakta yang terkandung dalam sejarah Malaysia.

1. Memang masih ada lagi golongan dan kumpulan yang talam dua muka di bumi Malaysia ini...golongan yang tak mengenang budi dan pandai memutarbelitkan fakta dan kebenaran.

2. Sebabnya adalah mereka ini mudah percaya kepada "doktrin dan propaganda yang dibawa oleh anasir-anasir komunis moden dan terpelajar". KEMUNGKINAN mereka ini telah dilatih SECARA SULIT DAN LICIK supaya dapat membangkitkan sesuatu isu atau perkara yang membolehkan mereka mencapai satu bentuk keputusan yang terselindung maksudnya.

3. PERCAYALAH! golongan seperti Upholdjustice dan rakan-rakan seangkatan dan sewaktu dengannya cukup berani untuk terus menerus mengeluarkan "statement" yang menjuruskan kepada aspek kebencian, busuk hati, sombong dan DENDAM KESUMAT yang masih tidak padam di jiwa semata-mata untuk menuntut sesuatu atau isu yang tidak mendatang apa-apa faedah dan kebaikan kpd rakyat jelata...

4. Sudah sampai masanya ISA itu dikuatkuasakan semula dan digunapakai untuk menyekat golongan subversif komunis ini. Hasutan-hasutan di dalam arena politik telah mula digunakan dan sering dibakar di atas pentas politik bertujuan UTAMA untuk membangkitkan rasa tidak puas hati dan rasa benci kepada pemerintah dan perlembagaan negara.

5. Tun, ini adalah pesanan PENTING dari kami semua, sila bawa perkara ini kepada barisan kabinet yang ada supaya perkara MERBAHAYA ini dapat dibenteras dengan segera dan berterusan. Pihak media massa pula haruslah memainkan peranan untuk menyebarkan semula fakta-fakta kebenaran yang telah terjadi sewaktu era "MALAYAN CAMPAIGN" serta siarkan berita-berita kejayaan operasi-operasi menghapus pergerakan komunis pada tahun 70an hingga 80an. Biar mata, telinga, hati dan jiwa mereka yang terpesong ini terbuka dan menerima setiap fakta dan hakikat yg sebenarnya.

6. GOLONGAN INI LEBIH CENDERUNG UNTUK BERTINDAK LEBIH EKSTRIM KERANA TELAH DAN MUDAH TERPEDAYA DENGAN HASUTAN DAN PROPAGANDA KOMUNIS! YANG MANA MEREKA MUNGKIN INI TELAH KETAHUI ATAU TIDAK. DUNIA PUN SUDAH BERUBAH MAKA CORAK DOKTRIN PENENTANGAN MEREKA INI PUN LEBIH MENJURUS KEPADA GERAKAN SARAF YANG LEBIH KOMPLEKS DAN SEMASA.

7. Doktrin komunisme yang paling UTAMA adalah untuk melenyapkan samasekali pegangan pemerintahan secara DEMOKRASI dan beransur-ansur menyemai prinsip dan asas pemahaman pemerintahan secara ALA REPUBLIK. REPUBLIK bermaksud pemerintahan negara yang tidak mendokong pemerintahan BERAJA. ASAS PERLEMBAGAAN NEGARA MALAYSIA ialah RAJA BERPELEMBAGAAN. TIADA RAJA = TIADA AGAMA RASMI YAKNI ISLAM = TIADA AGAMA RASMI = RAKYAT MULA TIADA PEGANGAN & KEPERCAYAAN PADA TUHAN(ALLAH) = MEMUDAHKAN LAGI AGEN-AGEN KOMUNIS MERACUN FIKIRAN RAKYAT JELATA SERTA MEMUDAHKAN LAGI DOKTRIN KOMUNISME MENGEMBANGKAN IDEOLOGI DAN CITA-CITA MEREKA.

8. Saudaraku Fairuz dan rakan-rakan yang lain... teruskanlah dengan niat suci murni kita semua ini demi untuk mempertahankan apa yang HAK dan BATIL. Kita harus dan BERANI berpegang teguh dengan kebenaran dan sentiasa melemparkan pandangan dan fakta yang tepat. AYUH KITA TERUSKAN!

To fairuzstone,

To be exact ,I am also representing the true feelings of Indians as well.

I hate the Malays? Be careful and specific with what you say.Do I need to feel dissatisfied with Singapore Malays who have successfully proved their abilities on a level playing field?

Buying goods from Chinese shops does not mean that we need to like you.A smile is just being polite.

Remember my grandfather was granted to set foot here by Malay royal consent? Do you mean all his grandchildren,grand grand children have to pay his debt ? Such kind of thinking is worse than loan sharks.

Yap Ah Loy and Sultan Abdul Samad? Well,they took advantage of each other.They did not owe each other.Sultan Abdul Samad gave him permission to reside .Yap Ah Loy developed klang and the Sultan happily received the taxes.This is actually a win win situation.

But now the circumstances are different. The Chinese are feeding the royalties.What do the royalties do in return?

Use taxpayer money to feed the royalties? Better buy rojak to treat all Malaysians.

Dear YABhg, Tun and fellows,

By Upholdjustice on June 1, 2009 4:47 PM
In Malaysia,all Chinese want to put an end to the Bumiputera special rights.Is it considered extremism?

We Chinese have endured unfair treatment more than 50 years.Every time we want to abolish Malay special rights,the Malays(some are actually India Muslims) will scream as if they got mad cow disease.

We never see any Kadazans , Ibans or Orang asli opposing our intention of abolishing the Bumiputera special rights.

We also want to remove Malaysian royalty to establish a republic Malaysia.The Manohara case is humiliating.There is no point wasting Chinese taxpayer money to feed those cacing pita. -end text-

--------

Wow, to Uphold Justice, are you sure you are representing the true feelings of ALL Chinese in this Country???? Please repeat it again.

Wahh, only now I realize actually besides all smiling face when we buy many2 goods amounting hundreds, thousands, millions of money from Chinese shops, you all still only hate the Malays?? be careful with what you say,

That means, you have revealed that actually All Chinese want to abolish Royalty in this Country, do you remember your grandfather was granted to step foot here to work in the Tin Mines years-years ago by Malay royal consent?????? Hey , who are you to talk like that hah,,,

Do you know Yap Ah Loy bowed to the foot of His Highness Sultan Abdul Samad, during Selangor Civil Wars just to allow his people to reside in the klang valley. Do you want me to reveal many more?????

Dont simply talk.

Fairuz Bin Kamarulzaman

YABhg Tun,

On the same note, perhaps Mr. Husam Musa the PAS Vice President, would care to elaborate on what he meant by " UMNO'S Sins Too Many..".
I'm using many of the BN/UMNO development projects and facilities such as hospitals, schools, airports, highways..etc..etc
I wouldn't want to be in " SUBAHAT ".

Dear Hanan. Thanks for being a good sport with that hairless chicken thing. But you have to admit, it is intriguing. And thanks for adding the http texts in front of my uncompleted sentence for:

http://www.criminalisewar.org

Yes, even after all that has happened, all the unresolved bitterness and the unsettled disputes – I am thankful that we could see on the need to protect the children of the world - especially in a war zone. There is not much I could say at all on that topic. It is as hard and emotional as it is to many already. But even though our mutual concurrence here is only on a cyber platform, let’s just hope that it would still reach out and make that difference – for the sake of all children. Well, thanks again Hanan. And peace be to you and all.

Sorry for http text error again Tun. On the go. Salam kasih, salam hormat dan maaf.

PADA PENDAPAT DAN PEMERHATIAN KASAR SAYA YANG KERDIL INI BERKENAAN ISU-ISU SENSITIF DAN BERCORAK EKSTREM PADA KETIKA INI DI MALAYSIA ADALAH MUNGKIN BERPUNCA DARIPADA DOKTRIN KOMUNISME...

DAN IA SEDANG BERLAKU SECARA SULIT, HALUS MAHUPUN TERANG-TERANGAN...

The Education Ministry is dilly-dallying on the issue of teaching science and maths in English. This is against our PM's concept of "Performance now." The Ministry should make the decision at once. We have heard many a time that the Ministry is getting views of "all parties" (including the so-called experts!) concerned. But nothing is moving for the past two years. Bureaucratic delays and inertia seem to be the cause of the "dilly-dallying."
ABI

Some of us believe that PPSMI is the best way for their children. If many don’t think so [like the nationwide gathering to protest] does it mean that those who believe in PPSMI have no choice but to follow?
True, they may have the support of politicians, and all the smart people and groups etc but does that mean that it can be automatically concluded that they are correct thus the policy get to be abandoned?.
Threatening to gather people and do nationwide protest, putting the government to shame and dragging the country along just to show that they possess the strength to manoeuvre the government to scrap out PPSMI is SELFISH, and very the Extremist way.
Just because we are silent, does not means that we are minority. Even if we are, does it mean that we do not get to be considered? Nak lencong sikit – contohnya di Penanti, berapa ramai keluar mengundi – adakah yang menang itu maknanya mendapat sokongan majoriti?.
Now, how about the time and effort we put on our children before and when they started school? We put up SINCERE EFFORT as we know that it is our RESPONSIBILITIES to OUR CHILDREN [anak-anak itu amanat Tuhan kepada kita] and at the same time we are actually COMPLIMENTING THE TEACHERS – we are making their task less harder.
The fact that we are not the type that’ll take things to the street, tells who we are - easy and straight and not rowdy. We find no reasons yet to showcase strength and gloat. It tells that we are less expensive to handle.
KPM should locked and tag us in their data. Make us fill up form, NOT to be submitted to SCHOOL [tampering] but DIRECTLY to KPM, to be handled by SPECIALLY SELECTED PERSONNEL only at KPM.

KPM should make parents choice to relocate their children’s school easy, anytime anywhere. Hapuskan persekitaran cabar mencabar yang berani dan bongkak kerana satu pihak tahu bahwa satu pihak yang lain itu tiada pilihan –This Extremist is controllable – just create options for people.
Help parents to relocate their children to school that will continue with PPSMI policy [there are many school in one housing area – convert one for PPSMI?]. KPM can tag these schools too. Fill up the school with teachers who believe in the PPSMI way - identify who are for and who are against and relocate them to where THEIR HEART is. Our children studies should not be interrupted by the politics of the adult. Do not worry about them needing to adjust. They are after all children – their beautiful mind and heart will adapt and adjust accordingly and soon. It is usually, the adult who often needs to adapt to their impairment. Nobody will be left behind - only by their choice.

Assalamualaikum Tun. Semoga Tun berdua sihat sentiasa. Jangan gusar dengan gelaran-gelaran dan nama-nama yang di panggil/reka oleh manusia.Yang afdal adalah apa yang Tuhan tahu.Kami faham kenapa, sebab itu kami mahu meneruskan untuk anak kami.Biar sahaja mereka yang terus menerus tidak setuju.Niat kita adalah masa depan anak kitaKalau manusia tidak tahu, Tuhan tahu.

Tanggugjawab kerajaan yang mengunjurkannya dahulu adalah untuk MENERUSKANNYA pada yang telah berusaha untuk menyokongnya.

Dan berhentikan saja PPSMI kepada mereka-mereka yang mengambil pilihan untuk tidak bersetuju dengan dasar itu .Hairan ya, kenapa mereka sebelum ini rasa tidak cukup kuat untuk menentangnya?

Salam Tun

Hi Das, (on May 28, 2009 3:17 AM ), your complete denial, what has Malaysia achieved now are as good as children playing hide and seek. Playing blindfolded and starts talking being as a childish but rubbish.

Since independence, both sides were equally good, progress significantly. As "a little red dot" you can’t compare with land area of 329,700 sq. km. Not to mention population, it’s not that simple for past leaders to please all Malaysians till today. And it’s not that simple as well for “little red dot” that let their citizens strictly follow by the book!

Nothing to look south, Das!… Singapore past success needs the most, from skilled labour to water. Look at India miseries in the past! Are you guessing British to be blame? Be rational. That’s history. It’s all in the library. You mean… 50 odd years of Independence? It’s still young my dear Das compare with 233 years of American independence. Still have more good years to achieve. And please... don’t teach monkeys how to climb trees; both neighboring countries have different way of running their policies.

Not to forget!! Academically? speaking? Come on’… please be firm and don’t just personally feel, go and find out yourself. As matter of fact, some are equally good and some are equally sucks too. That’s reality!!

Maaf Tun

Assalamalaikum and grace dear friends.

I'll try to answer the answers you asked me and comment where I can.

As to Hanan, Jewish, Israel, the reason Malaysia dont have diplomatic relations with Israel is because the extremist attitude of your leaders towards the Palestinian people.Malaysians are disapointed whenever there are peace between Palestine and Israel, extremist Israel leaders will dismantle it.And these extremist leaders like Netantahu are chosen by the Israelis voters.I hope what i wrote will answer your questions about etremism.

Maybe our present government is more extreme than the previous government. This is what the people elected. Isn't Hamas the extreme wave of the Palestinians? It may look wrong, but the two parts of the equation are balanced at the moment. I'm not saying it is good or bad. Running to the extreme corner is so easy. How difficult is for Malaysia to recognize Israel without any conditions? How hard is for them to run away from their extreme attitude? It is much easier to ban and boycott. It is like a child needs to solve a math problem and have difficulty to do it and abandons the problem. "Because" it is a tough problem I'll not solve it until the teacher will reduce the difficulty.

Dear Hanan,

Before my beloved Tun answers your question, I also have questions for you. Please answer it honestly with human logic, not by your own logic.

I can answer only with my own human logic. I cannot speak fo the human logic of other people. You may refer to my answers as they are.

My questions:
1) Is killing, persecuting and oppressing thousands of innocent Palestinian - extremism?
This is true not only for the Palestinians but any human beings regardless race or religion. Can you compose your question in a generic definition and not just for the Palestinians. Why aren't you asking the same question about Darfur and Somalia?

2) Is robbing someone's right (i.e Palestinian lands) through brutal forces - extremism?
This is not robbing (the robbing is your jargon). It is the Jewish claim back of their robbed land by the Muslim tribes that arrived from Arabia during the spread of Islam while the Jews were expelled in the Diaspora. If it is not a robbing then the answer is NO.

2) Is carpet - bombing and using phosphorus bombs to attack armless and innocent Palestinians - extremism?
Any war is extremism. The Qasam rockets as daily events are in the same category. The Israeli Jews blood is not less red that the Palestinians blood. Both peoples blood must be saved.

3) Is depriving innocent Palestinian children of food and proper medicine - extremism?
Yes. Same as smuggling explosives in the tunnels which is used against the Jews. The food is not prevented from those poor children intentionally. It is because the terror uses the food transportation infrastructure to smuggle weapons against Israel.

4)And this is the last, is head-shooting Palestinian teenager who threw stones at your soldier - extremism?
Yes. Don't forget that stones are also a killing weapon.

Thanks for your attention.
Welcome my dear friend miaw.

Dear Hanan,
I am not representing anyone but myself to answer your post.

1) Is terror (all kinds) - extremism?
Yes. It is an extreme approach to resort to terror in any kind.
2) Is clerics poisonous jargon - extremism?
No.
3) Is banning diplomatic relations between nations and countries - extremism?
No. Banning diplomatic is one of the peaceful way of defending ones interests.
4) Is banning academic collaboration - extremism?
No, but banning the effort of learning about others are.
5) Is prohibiting citizens of Malaysia visiting Israel - extremism?
No. Malaysia does not recognized Israel as a Country. Thus, diplomatic effort cant be setup.
6) Is prohibiting Israeli citizens visiting Malaysia - extremism?
No. Malaysia does not recognized Israel as a Country. Thus, diplomatic effort cant be setup.
7) Is being afraid of having transparent and exposed correspondence relation between Malaysians and Israelis - extremism?
No. Malaysia does not recognized Israel as a Country. Thus, diplomatic effort cant be setup.
8) Is the usage of political and constitutional power to prohibit citizens to contact enmity citizens for the dialog - extremism?
No, because it is one of the peaceful ways to protect interest, but certainly there are other solutions.
9) Are you afraid of extremism?
No. Extremism is a reflection of how ones mind works, that is, easily influenced, lack of total understanding, stubborn.
10) Which extremism would you support?
None, even a pious muslim.
11) Is cursing and using a blatant jargon in cyber comments - extremism?
No, because it is one of the peaceful ways to protect interest, but certainly there are other solutions.
12) What can be the path to avoid extremism or reduce it significantly?
Total understanding of the original religion's teaching.

Mohd Zakhiri

Dear friend Mohd Zakhiri, Assalamalaikum.
Thank you for your honest answering. I found them interesting and understand well what you mean. Let me just add one little thing that may emphasize your last answer #12. We have a proverb in Hebrew: "חיים ומוות ביד הלשון" which means "words can kill" (the Hebrew interpretation is: Life and death are in the hand of the tongue"). Extremism is not starting with violence. Violence is a result of extremism. Demonization is the trigger of extremism which gives birth to violence later on.

Well Tun, we won’t argue with Hanan on Jewish invention. Case in point, take a look up the http link above. The Hebrew University had invented the world’s first featherless chicken way back in 2001. Last year they perfected it by getting to the chicken while it is still in the egg with DNA technology. This kind of featherless chicken is known as “Nekkid Chicken”. Yes them nekkid chicken rhyme of the Hillbillies were borrowed.
http://www.beerorkid.com/category/animals/page/20/
Go to that http link for all them naked featherless pictures.
Err...that you fellow Hanan by any chance? Mwahaha! Just a joke Hanan, don’t take it to heart. Remember, name callings don’t hurt, stick and stones does while bullets and those Godless pilots (drones and missiles) kills. I guess the answer to your question posed would be 1-acceptance/fear, 2-understandings, 3-honesty, 4-compassion. I don’t see much avenue for things to go wrong there. Name calling on Cybertron is no extremism form. Maybe a poor head (on both sides of the divide here) socked up the wrong sized hog skin on his tally whacker, and got all cooked up and needed to vent out somewhere. On a bigger picture, let’s hope and pray for a peaceful world where acceptance and frankness seals the day to a peaceful sunset for everyone concern. In the meantime, the killings and extremism and all the reckless points must seize immediately. Save the children.

Dear friend Kamal Ahmad, Assalamalikum and grace. I totally agree with your point as you described it at the bottom of your comment. We must do something good for our children’s' future. We need to give them hope.

Assalamualaikum Tun, and,
Shalom Eleikhem Mr Hanan,
You are good actually, diplomatically sound, dont bother on cyber comments bashing because you can find it anywhere, sometimes I experienced bashing of Israelite youth on the yahoo news net also they bluntly labeled people as gentile and not up to their level. But to me it's okay, you still standing and i still standing.
I admire your approach of catalyst of thinking, in argumentation, that's why your nation has excelled in acquiring knowledge...
that's good
Peace
Fairuz Kamarulzaman
a Malay Muslim

Dear friend Fairuz Kamarulzaman, Assalamalaikum.
Thank you for the warming words. I was silent for many years and struggled internally for the peace and the conflict solution. My approach to your side is to study your positions and try to understand where the mistakes are hiding. Are we (the Israelis) always mistaken? Maybe the other side is mistaken as well? I’m looking for the solution by finding the common of both parties instead emphasizing the differences. To solve the conflict we must have the "chemistry" of people. This is not a one day work. This blog comments are just a drip in the sea of work that we (all of us) must continue and do. If our leaders are failing to do it because they are "fearing" the reality, it is left for the "field soldiers" to do it.

Salam Tun and all,
1. One way to identify extremists is... they are ALWAYS right!
2. Extremists believe that they are never wrong, but every one else is always wrong.
3 So, that is the litmus test to identify who are extremists, dear Hanan (who still comes and comments on Tun's page relentlessly).
4. FOR EXAMPLE...Look at the Jews and the Israelis, are they ever wrong? nooooo.... the little Palestinian boys and girls are the wrong ones, not the big-bullying-tanker-riding-happy-firing Jews. Hence, that is why stone-throwing boys got bullets as replies to their stone-throwing attacks.
5. Similarly, back in Malaysia, PKR is never wrong, PAS is NEVER EVER wrong,and DAP is Forever right!!!!
6. So, when these THREE true-blue always right people get together and formed a loose coalition to win elections, and won a few states, GOD FORBID anyone trying to even show that they could have done a few mistakes, let alone commit wrongdoings.. THEY ARE THE BLESSED ONES!!! HOW CAN THEY BE WRONG???
I rest my case....:)
Take care tun and all.. Jaga diri Jaga Solat, ISTIGHFAR Selalu . May ALLAH SWT forgives us all because as humans, we are never free from making mistakes.
si kenit.

Dear friend Si Kenit, Assalamalaikum.
I wouldn't describe it better. KUDOS. We are all mistaken and we commit further mistakes which unfortunately will drive us (all of us) to a disaster very shortly if we are not awake on time.

Yang batil tetap kan lenyap dan yg Haq tetap akan tegak.
Amin.

Terima kasih.

selamat petang Tun dan sahabat chedet.com

kepada semua...ptg ini saya ingin menyingkap kembali sejarah berdarah sewaktu ketika dahulu. Sejarah ini adalah benar dan ia bukan rekaan atau propaganda untuk meraih simpati...ia adalah bentuk kekejaman yang tidak berhati perut dan di dalam kategori ekstrem.

Dan sejak kebelakangan ini kita telah mula disajikan dengan cerita atau permintaan melampau, tidak masuk akal dan disulamkan bersama dengan perasaan busuk hati, sombong, buta hati dan buta sejarah. Bila hati sudah buta maka akal yang sempit tercetus, terbitlah ideologi serta perasaan dendam serta ego melampau@ekstrem di kalangan manusia yang mementingkan kehendak sesuatu tanpa memikirkan sudut rasional dan faedahnya pada rakyat, negara mahupun diri sendiri.

Taksub dan mementingkan diri sendiri telah menjadi peganggan pada mereka yang ekstrem ini...sanggup dijadikan kambing hitam serta "barua" kepada seseorang yang dahulunya seorang yang keras kepala dan kering hati, kejam dan terlalu taksub pada perjuangan sia-sia ideologi KOMUNISME! dan berikut adalah rentetan ceritanya...

1. Serangan ke atas Balai Polis Bukit Kepong adalah satu peristiwa benar mengenai pertempuran bersenjata yang berakhir dengan penuh kekejaman dan targis. Ia berlaku pada tanggal 23 Februari tahun 1950 di antara pasukan polis dan anggota komunis. Pertempuran ini telah berlaku di kawasan sekeliling dan di dalam Balai polis yang diperbuat daripada kayu dan kedudukan balai ini adalah terletak ditebing sungai Muar, sekitar 59 km dari bandar Muar, Johor.

2. Anggota komunis hendak menjadikan serangan itu kononnya sebagai bentuk contoh amaran tentang apa yang akan terjadi kepada mereka atau mana-mana pihak yang mencuba atau bertindak menentang perjuangan, pergerakan dan fahaman komunisme. Anggota komunis percaya bahawa mereka akan dapat mengalahkan anggota polis dan menawan balai tersebut dalam tempoh yang singkat dan mudah.

3. Sejarah balai polis itu bermula dan pernah diketuai oleh Ketua Polis Balai (KPB) Sarjan Ray Dancey. Sebelum berlakunya peristiwa serangan ke atas balai tersebut, beliau telah ditukarkan dan jawatannya telah diambil alih pula oleh Sarjan Jamil Mohd Shah.

4. Terdapat platun campuran 15 anggota polis Tugas Am dan juga anggota Polis Marin dan mereka ini turut dipimpin oleh Sarjan Jamil. Balai Polis ini turut diperkukuhkan oleh tiga anggota polis khas dan empat Polis Tambahan yang menjadikan 22 orang anggota kesemuanya.

5. Tiga belas isteri dan anak-anak anggota turut tinggal di berek kelamin terletak di belakang balai. Kaedah pengangkutan utama ke Balai Polis Bukit Kepong adalah dengan mengunakan bot menyusuri sepanjang Sungai Muar.

6. Pada hari serangan, sekitar 200 orang pengganas komunis daripada Kompeni Bebas ke-4 dan dipercayai diketuai oleh Muhammad Indera bersama Komisser Goh Peng Tun. Muhammad Indera telah diperdaya oleh ketua kompeni komunis berbangsa Cina, di mana dimaklumkan pada awal rancangan serangan itu ia akan dilakukan dalam bentuk amaran sahaja, bagaimanapun ia telah bertukar menjadi tragedi kejam dan berdarah. Pihak komunis mula mengepung balai polis dengan separuh berada di hadapan balai, bakinya mengelilingi balai tersebut.

7. Pertempuran bermula sekitar 04.15 pagi apabila Konstabel Jaffar bin Hassan telah menghalang pencerobohan masuk dengan menembak mati seorang komunis yang menyusup masuk dengan cara memotong kawat duri balai tersebut. Berang dengan tindakan tersebut anggota komunis kemudiannya mula menyerang balas dari segenap sudut, terutamanya dari bahagian hadapan balai. Ia mendapat tentangan hebat dari anggota-anggota polis, terutamanya daripada dua kedudukan senjata Bren Gun yang terletak di dalam kubu di bawah balai. Pasukan polis yang diketuai oleh Sjn. Jamil Mohd Shah, enggan menyerah tunduk, walaupun berkali-kali diseru dan dipujuk agar menyerah diri oleh komunis. Satu persatu anggota polis gugur apabila pertempuran berterusan dan dua orang isteri polis yang terkepung turut berjuang apabila mendapati suami mereka telah terkorban.

8. Sekitar pukul 5 pagi beberapa anggota AP beserta sekumpulan penduduk kampung yang lengkap bersenjatakan raifal, senapang patah dan senjata tajam telah digerakkan dari Kampong Jawa di bawah pimpinan penghulu Ali bin Mustaffa untuk membantu anggota polis di balai. Mereka telah disekat dan diserang hendap oleh komunis yang ditugaskan untuk menghalang percubaan masuk mara ke dalam kawasan balai itu.

9. Dalam serangan pencerobohan masuk ke kawasan balai tersebut anggota komunis telah berjaya menawan seorang isteri polis, Mariam Ibrahim, isteri kepada Konstabel Mohamad Jaafar. Mat Indera telah memaksa Mariam menjerit merayu supaya pihak polis menyerah diri tetapi tidak diendahkan oleh Sjn.Jamil sendiri. Pada masa ini Fatimah Yaaba dan anaknya Hassan turut ditawan dan turut dipaksa merayu menuntut anggota polis menyerah diri. Anggota polis yang bertahan tetap enggan berbuat demikian dan terus berjuang dan apabila ini terjadi, Mariam dicederakan dan Fatimah pula telah dibunuh.

10. Rentetan itu komunis turut mula membakar berek kelamin dan bahagian balai polis. Dalam kebakaran itu dua wanita dan anak-anak mereka telah terperangkap dan terbakar hangus di dalam berek. Anggota polis yang lain mula bertindak meluru keluar dari berek yang terbakar dan merempuh kedudukan komunis serta berjaya membunuh sekurang-kurangnya tiga komunis yang cuba menghalang mereka.

11. Dalam suasana tegang itu terdapat penduduk dari kampung Durian Chondong disebelah barat telah berjaya menyusup keluar dengan bot ke Lenga untuk memberitahu pihak berkuasa mengenai kejadian serangan ini.

12. Hanya selepas lima jam bertempur, baru pihak komunis berjaya menawan keseluruhan balai polis dan mula membakar bangunan balai tersebut. Anggota komunis turut melontar mereka yang tercedera dan mayat-mayat mereka yang terkorban ke dalam api kebakaran tersebut. Antara mangsa yang tidak berdosa termasuklah Hassan bin Abu Bakar anak kepada Konstabel Abu Bakar yang dicampak hidup-hidup ke dalam unggun api kebakaran. Apabila sudah dipastikan bahawa tiada lagi anggota polis dan mangsa serangan yang masih hidup, baru mereka berundur ke dalam kawasan hutan berhampiran, meninggalkan satu kesan serangan, kemusnahan dan kematian yang cukup dasyat dan tragis.

13. Dalam serangan tersebut anggota-anggota polis yang gugur sebagai wira negara termasuklah Sarjan Jamil, 4 pengawal kampung, 3 polis bantuan, isteri kepada Abu Bakar Daud (seorang anggota polis yang terselamat) manakala tiga anak mereka terkorban dalam kejadian tersebut. Jumlah kematian adalah seramai 25 orang. Manakala mereka yang terselamat di dalam serangan maut itu adalah 4 anggota polis dan 9 ahli keluarga termasuk isteri dan anak-anak mereka.

14. DAN MEREKA YANG TERSELAMAT DALAM PERISTIWA INI... MATA DAN TELINGA MEREKA TELAH MENJADI SAKSI KEPADA KEKEJAMAN TRAGIS YANG TELAH DILAKUKAN OLEH SETIAP ANGGOTA KOMUNIS YANG SEMEMANGNYA TIDAK BERHATI PERUT DAN BERHATI KERING. AKIBAT DARI SIKAP TAKSUB DAN FAHAMAN MENGILA MEREKA TERHADAP IDEOLOGI KOMUNISME, SIFAT-SIFAT KEMANUSIAN DAN KEMULIAAN TELAH DILENYAPKAN SAMA SEKALI.

DAN PADA KETIKA INI TERDAPAT BIBIT-BIBIT SUBVERSIF FAHAMAN DAN SEMAIAN IDEOLOGI KOMUNISME DIPERJUANGKAN DAN CUBA DISERAPKAN KE DALAM JIWA ANAK-ANAK MALAYSIA...ANASIR-ANASIR PROPAGANDA DAN CITA-CITA SEGELINTIR MANUSIA DI DALAM NEGARA INI YANG BERANI MEMBANGKITKAN KEMBALI FAHAMAN IDEOLOGI KOMUNISME INI PERLU DI ATASI DENGAN KADAR SEGERA DAN BERTERUSAN...

*** ADAKAH MEREKA INI INGIN MENCABAR SEMULA ATAU LUPA PADA KEJAYAAN OPERASI-OPERASI TERDAHULU...OPS "GONZALES", "KOTA FOXFORT", "MARKER NOVEMBER" DAN LAIN- LAIN KEJAYAAN TERDAHULU AKAN MENJADI KAYU PENGUKUR KEPADA ANASIR-ANASIR SUBVERSIF INI...BERSEDIALAH MEREKA INI UNTUK MENGHADAPINYA SEKALI LAGI!

TIADA MAKSUD & ERTI "BERUNDUR" PADA KAMI DAN SETITIS DARAH SATRIA KAMI YANG TERTUMPAH DI BUMI BERTUAH INI IA AKAN MENJADI AZIMAT PADA KAMI SEMUA UNTUK TERUS MEMPERTAHANKAN KEDAULATANNYA! DAN INI ADALAH SATU JANJI YANG BENAR!

..............MENJOLOK

Kesaksamaan dan keadilan sifat kemanusiaan dan mulia disisi agama. Ketuanan dan keistimewaan krn kulit tidak diajar agama. Agama tidak mengajar satu bangsa ada hak keramat krn kulitnya. Yg diajar kebajikan, kuat bantu lemah dan kaya bantu miskin tanpa kira warna, rahmat diberi pada yg gigih.

Menentang ketuanan, keistimewaan kulit menjolok? Yg ditentang bukan kuasa Melayu tapi kecuaian, keangkuhan, keistimewaan meminggir bangsa lain.

...........PEMBERIAN ATAU HAK RAKYAT?

Kata kata 'sedikit apa yg diberi pada kaum lain'(perkataan sdr sendiri) bermaksud Melayu beri Cina? Bukankah kita rakyat M'sia yg bayar cukai sama dan patut dapat nikmat bukan peminta sedekah.

Hasil Negara ada Melayu dan Cina punya? Satu kumpulan tuan, satu peminta sedekah dan kasihan.Yg di minta hak sebagai rakyat yg menyumbang sama rata dan kesaksamaan, bukan hak atau kuasa sama rata.

..............SJKC

SJKC termaktub dlm perlembagaan. Kaum lain tak sebut atau tegur beberapa banyak sek asrama penuh, MRSM , kolej Mara (matrikulasi) yg dibina sepenuhnya dgn wang cukai. SJK dibina dgn wang masyarakat tempatan sendiri (bantuan krjn kalau ada pilihanraya)

Apa tak merah telinga. Cuba minta tutup sek agama masyarakat! SJK dan sek agama masyarakat wujud krn kelemahan SK. Cari jawapan di sana!

Dulu lebih separuh kaum lain belajar di SK (membelakangi SJK), tapi skrg banyak kurang. Tepuk dada tanya selera. Tapi kalau masih nak menuduh orang tak cinta negara, enggan menyerap (lain dari bercampur), anti Melayu, penghalang perpaduan, mrk akan balik ke perlembagaan!

Nak halau tebuan guna kelembutan asap bukan kegagahan kayu.

Dengan Izin Tun...Terima kasih

masaklomak

//Perhaps you should take the back seat and relax and improve your submission towards Allah and reflect on the things you do or say in the context of preparing yourself for the afterlife//

Meaning..Tun does not prepares himself enough for this task and

masaklomak have done all that humanely possible?

Do you understand the meaning of this verse from Al Quran

Tidakkah kamu melihat mereka yang memandang mulia dirinya sendiri?

Does embarassment comes into mind?

//Go seek the direction recommended in the Quran.//

That is aptly applied to you...Shame on you..

//I hope you have faith in Islam still for I'd say it'd be such a waste if a person of your status (not that we need it where we're all going or aspire to go when we die) were to go to hell.//

I know you know the message of this story but for the sake of ignorant like me..let's refresh your memory..

Pada suatu hari unta Rasulullah s.a.w di curi dan di sorokkan di sebuah lembah oleh masakunta.

Kemudian dengan biadapnya dia berjumpa Rasullulah s.a.w dan menyindir Rasullulah s.a.w

Di manakah unta tuan berada sekarang? Manalah saya tau..

Apalah..Inikah manusia yang mendapat wahyu dari langit tetapi untanya hilang dia tak tahu...Huh..( Lihat kekejaman masaklomak..opss..masakunta )

Datanglah Jibril memberitahu di mana unta Baginda s.a.w berada dan terbongkarlah tembelang masaklomak...masakunta opss..I did it again I played your sentiments and I'm not that innocents..

Rasullullah s.a.w bersabda..Aku ini manusia biasa tidak mengetahui yang ghaib melainkan apa yang di wahyukan Allah kepada ku..

So in retrorespect and consequently..it goes to shows that masaklomak is more superior than our Rasul s.a.w

Just where the hell you gets this notions?

This next verse explains it succintly!!!

"Dan syaitan membisikkan kepada mereka "
Surah As Syuara.

//Just a friendly reminder.//

Hanan is better than you.He is our avowed foe and enemy.But you ?

Do you remember the scene when Dutch raised the rock far above his head and about to smash it to the predator head?

He asked

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ?

Predator just hohohohoh and activate the mechanism to integrate..

What a big bang that level the forest...and..opss I get carried away again..but

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ?

Selamat pagi Ayahanda,

Izinkan....

Ravi,

You are "comel"!!!! Hm.... now I get your attention. Because of your self-claimed "Comedy Court's Judge's attitude (in HK, you are name as Mr "San Chai Chong" - the illegal factory owner operating in the forest) for "Keadilan Rakyat", I gave up watching the Comedy Court in YouTube. I used to be the supporter for The Comedy Court 10 years ago and before PRU 12, but after knowing the trutht that they are making luxury income by sidekicking our government, I got fed up. Luckily many many Malays don't understand and don't watch these shows, if not our country will be more divided. Now, Samy (your kepala) is aggressive in making sure MIC stay focus and united so that indians will not be marginalized further by the irresponsible indians like you.

Ha..ha... talking about keadilan (justice), sendiri punya kepala kaum pun tak support, lu ingat kaum lain akan support lu ke???? Ai..yo..yo, luckily there are a lot of kind and moderate indians in Malaysia who don't agree to your approach. If you want to talk about justice, and you do not want to be under Samy, Kayveas or T Murugiah, the solution is simple, get yourself converted into Islam and there will be plenty of opportunities out there for you to explore. If you are in America, you have to assimilate into their culture and religion if you want to be the rich guy, this is reality!!!! Don't tell me you tak faham theory ini at your age, what a joke, Ravi LOL.

Tahu pasal law sikit, dah mengamuk dan suka2 sue Gomen, you think that Malaysia Court is like kangoroo court ke??? If we can meet one day, you will like me to be your friend Ravi. In this world, not only indians are suffering injustice treatments, our Ex-PM including myself did have this nasty experiences, so my advice to you "less talk more work" so that you can earn a living. But I think you are a pensioner like S..Tan, makan duit gomen, maki gomen tarak bagus, and you name it as Keadilan, ha....ha....

Good day Ayahanda Tun.

Dear Tun, salam mesra harap sihat bahagia. Kiriman saya untuk tajuk Tun dan juga membalas sedikit hujah pengunjung...

................BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE

Studying in different schools not source of disunity unless something sinister is being taught in the schools. People from different countries dont hate each other just because they dont mix. We dont hate our neighbours, except one due to what is being taught!

Abolishing without tackling the reasons national schools are shunned will only inflate resentment and polarization. Unity is not forged by single language education (different from national language teaching) Blaming education in different schools source of disunity is backdoor attack on schools which is the very reflection of national school failure .

If 40 yrs of single language education system (and hundred billions of ringgit) fail to attract enrolment, dont blame shabby schools!

................MATTERS OF THE HEART

It is how you treat your citizens. The govt labels all of us at birth and implements policies based on this label. Yet it accuses the people of racism. The govt stands on a platform of racial supremacy and expects the people to be liberal. Bapa kencing berdiri, anak kencing berlari? There is no bad soldier, only bad generals? Give peanuts you get mankeys?

Vernacular schools are not the source of disunity. They only 'learn' affirmative discrimination (baffling scholarship,boarding school and university selection), assimilation practices (not respect for other cultures), dominating beliefs (diminish other beliefs) when they enter national schools after primary shool. It is the behavior of the majority!

Focus on politicians whose survival, endurance and adulation is based on racism not innocent schools. We have a successful model of racial mix in English medium schools previously, but this was zealously abolished. Tiga Abdul are each different but together they make a great movie!

.................TO EACH HIS OWN

Minority should not be allowed to win the shouting and the argument. On racism, someone willing to forego and erase his Indian ancestry and assimilate another identity is his freedom and right. Forcing others to do it is racism! Let it be without ransom.

................GIVE UP?

An ex DPM is brave enough to face accusations of ingrate, betrayor of party, race, religion and country to get where he is. Someone is giving up based on one charge only, betrayor of language?

Someone went to jail for daring to oppose, he is called national traitor of the highest order. Somebody is melting under criticism to avoid being given a puny label 'language betrayor'?

To be credible, display exemplary leadership in the face of criticism from your own! A great leader must have the capacity to confront his own people not just other people.

Tun Dr,

How about your comments regardin PKFZ?

Thanks.

Dear Tun, salam mesra harap sihat sejahtera. Kiriman saya ini menyokong. Izinkan membalas hujah seorang anti PPSMI.

Pandangan saya pada tulisan '2009' on May 28, 2009 2:02 PM dgn izin...

..................DEGIL, TEGAS?

Samalah, saya pun susah nak faham alasan sdr menentang PPSMI selepas banyak komen menyangkal dan menepis tuduhan terhadap PPSMI.

..................MEMUTAR KAJIAN

Mengguna markah kajian TIMMS memburukkan PPSMI tak betul krn penurunan berlaku sejak 99 (sebelum PPSMI). TIMMS 07 penilaian terhadap murid menengah yg baru tukar BI 2 thn dan belajar dlm BM peringkat rendah selama 6thn. Jadi penyerapan BI dia belum sempurna, setengah masak. Penilaian dan perbandingan betul ialah murid belajar 9thn BI dgn 9thn BM (TIMMS 2011)

Kajian TIMMS 99 dan 03 pada murid belajar dlm BM 9thn (apple with apple). Jadi hasil kajian itu lebih menunjuk pencapaian murid belajar dlm BM dan IANYA MERUDUM! Membelit markah TIMMS 07 sebagai petunjuk hasil PPSMI tak betul dan bukan bandingan seimbang. Sebaliknya ia lebih condong ke petunjuk pencapaian pembelajaran dlm BM (6thn lwn 2 thn) Kalau nak ambil kira juga TIMMS 07, ia bak gigi baru tumbuh di banding dgn gigi taring.

Yg rujuk kajian TIMMS dan ambil contoh kejayaan Jepun, Korea (belajar dlm bahasa ibunda) ingat mrk bukan Negara dijajah lama dan sejarah tamaddun bebas beratus thn.

Nak kata belajar dlm bahasa rumah lebih berkesan, lihat S’pura. Mrk belajar BI di sekolah, dirumah cakap Cina dan Melayu. M’sia mcm S’pura dijajah beratus thn, baru bebas puluhan thn. Khazanah BI kita dulu kuat, tapi dah diruntuhkan dan kita tak mampu jejak S’pura lagi. Nak jejak Korea, Jepun kita baru puluhan umur.

Kajian UPSI diketawa oleh pakar kaji krn kaedah yg dipakai tak ‘saintifik’ Ia lapuran kejian bukan kajian dan dipertikai.

..................PEMAHAMAN MEROSOT

Kajian seorang professor menunujuk minat dan kurang pemahaman dalam PPSMI SEBAB PENGAJAR. Kita harapkan guru era BM sepenuh mengajar dlm BI. Pak Pandir mengajar dlm BI! Kamu faham dan melonjak minat?

Semua orang tahu ramai pelajar Universiti kita tak boleh tulis satu ayat dgn betul, mcm mana nak harap mrk semai minat belajar dlm BI. Mrk sendiri bergelut. Harap ketam ajar berjalan lurus!

Mutu pengajar harus diperbaiki, kita tak boleh mengalah krn susah. PPSMI bukan masaalahnya, tapi guru dan ibu bapa yg prejudis bahasa (mata serong), nak mudah, belajar yg senang dan kenal, bukan mengejar ilmu.

.................PELAJAR TAK TERIKUT

Kajian juga menunjukkkan kelemahan guru yg melemahkan murid dan membunuh semangat belajar bukan dasar. Guru itu hasil dari pembelajaran BM sepenuh, tak daya bertukar. Ini petunjuk apa akan jadi pada murid itu sendiri bila terpaksa bertukar di Universiti dan peringkat atas bila hendak maju.

Pelajar luar Bandar akan lagi tertinggal kalau terus sikap ambil mudah mcm ini. Mcm orang tua sukar nak belajar pandu kereta, mudahkan untuknya suruh pakai basikal lama. Jgn nampak tembok saja, belakang tembok banyak yg tak nampak. Kesukaran di peringkat pelajaran rendah jgn longgokkan dgn tujuan PPSMI diperingkat atas dan tertinggi.

..............MELAYU SESAT

Menuduh PPSMI untuk ‘half Malay’ yg cakap BI di rumah, menunjulkan sifat serong dan ada hanyir anti bahasa lain. Jadi bantahan PPSMI krn sifat peribadi atau demi anak anak M’sia? Sendiri tak reti bahasa lain nak ikat semua orang?

Tak pernah rasa jgn terburu kata tak berguna. Tak pernah hidup di padang pasir, kata unta tak berguna sebab jalan lembab.

...............SEDARLAH

Kita dah tahu dan rasa akibat 40thn dasar BM sepenuh (perasingan kaum dan pencapaian menurun). Tak payah tunggu 20thn, dlm 10thn kita dapat rasa perubahan PPSMI (Semua murid sudah belajar dlm BI dari darjah satu)

Skrg murid yg ada semua belajar setengah BM/BI (rendah BM, menengah BI). Tapi kelemahan pengajar mesti diatasi dulu atau silap penunggang kuda yg mati.

Umumnya penghujah yg yatim bahasa (hanya faham satu) kemungkinan besar sifat serong sikit. Seorang yg pakai satu tempurung saja kurang layak menilai mutu tempurung.

Salam Tun and all,

1. One way to identify extremists is... they are ALWAYS right!

2. Extremists believe that they are never wrong, but every one else is always wrong.

3 So, that is the litmus test to identify who are extremists, dear Hanan (who still comes and comments on Tun's page relentlessly).

4. FOR EXAMPLE...Look at the Jews and the Israelis, are they ever wrong? nooooo.... the little Palestinian boys and girls are the wrong ones, not the big-bullying-tanker-riding-happy-firing Jews. Hence, that is why stone-throwing boys got bullets as replies to their stone-throwing attacks.

5. Similarly, back in Malaysia, PKR is never wrong, PAS is NEVER EVER wrong,and DAP is Forever right!!!!

6. So, when these THREE true-blue always right people get together and formed a loose coalition to win elections, and won a few states, GOD FORBID anyone trying to even show that they could have done a few mistakes, let alone commit wrongdoings.. THEY ARE THE BLESSED ONES!!! HOW CAN THEY BE WRONG???

I rest my case....:)

Take care tun and all.. Jaga diri Jaga Solat, ISTIGHFAR Selalu . May ALLAH SWT forgives us all because as humans, we are never free from making mistakes.

si kenit.

Dear Tun,

I can understand how you feel.

After so many years of your life dedicated to the country, going through so many challanges and officially retired from the government, Malaysia today is still facing with issues and problem that is actually created by the Extremist and the majority of Malaysian have to pay for it.

The worst thing is, some influential individuals, groups, organisation and politicians are Extremist.

Sorry Tun, you can't be the member of the silent majority

We need you

Assalamualaikum Tun, and,

Shalom Eleikhem Mr Hanan,

You are good actually, diplomatically sound, dont bother on cyber comments bashing because you can find it anywhere, sometimes I experienced bashing of Israelite youth on the yahoo news net also they bluntly labeled people as gentile and not up to their level. But to me it's okay, you still standing and i still standing.

I admire your approach of catalyst of thinking, in argumentation, that's why your nation has excelled in acquiring knowledge...

that's good

Peace

Ayahanda,

A decent malay "burger youth" ask me to support PAS 2 nights ago. I do buy burgers from him. I told him that if I were to support PAS, and when PAS gains such power, they will take over our Kementerian Kewangan. Once they take over the finance misnistry, rakyat will definitely "keluarkan wang dari bank2 kita dan simpan di bawah katil atau bantal seperti rakyat Kelantan, dan kemungkinan KLCI index kita akan "plunge" to 100 points", dan kemerosotan ekonomi kita pasti akan bertambah buruk". Moreover, DAP has no back up and expertise in solving national money issues. He laughed and did not say anything. It's just a friendly banter to confront our economic issue peacefully and harmony, furthermore we are from different background, I respect his perception, and he accepts my perception. This is how democracy with Rukun Negara takes place in the grassroot level, talk but with limit so that we will not offend others. How I wish that our S..Tan can have this attidute, but I don't think he is able to adjust himself with this open minded apporach because he is a stubborn, another Dr Yap Sin Tian(am I right on his name?), the Dong Jiao of Chinese School association????

Good day Ayahanda. I respect and admire Tun Dr Siti Hasmah and she is good in giving speech without referring to her notes, soft, anggun and berdikari kind of moderate modern woman in our lifetime and I met her few times including Marina Mahathir Mohamad.

Selamat pagi Ayahanda,

Me too want to have quiet life and just acquiesce (bersetuju) to the extremists so that I will be happier and enjoy my life. I really hope that I can accept the theory of "if you can't beat them, join them" but the habit of my lifetime also refuse to go, and of course I will not use S..Tan's "over-zealous attitude" approach in confronting these issues. Sometimes, I am angry with myself for knowing too much and they are stressful, Ayahanda. Furthermore what do I get in return. However, due to my clear conscience, I know that I cannot pretend that the current issues will not hurt our future generations through uncontrolled or undefined domino effects (not Domino pizza) brought up by these self-claimed extremists, be it emotionally, politically and economically. The only solution to these issues is to confront them by blogging and talking.

Ayahanda Tun, I am sure a lot of power and wealth crazy individuals will use “TDMM’s” name as the platform to gain rakyat support. But there are many many silent and excellent majorities backing TDMM, inilah buat extremists kita marah. Mereka ini hanya tahu cakap pasal hak rakyat, tapi bila isu wang disentuhi, mereka ini pasti akan diam terus kerana golongan kaya tak akan menyokong extremists kerana taktik “demonishing“ ialah taktik kotor dan tidak bermoral .

Dear Hajar,

DS Najib as the Finance Minister must be very focus in solving our Macro-Economic issues, the most important issue at this moment to make sure Malaysia is politically and economically stable during this recession. In fact, many of us expected technical recession in quarter 1 & 2, 2009. It looks like DS Hishamuddin is still unable and not brave enough to confront the ISA issue.

Yes, the growth rate will go down in - 4% to -5% in year 2009, however, if we are politically stable, we will be able to ride through this stormy weather. Money can be re-earned if we are politically stable. Kalau kita gaduh sesama lain, macam ahli keluarga, pasti kemelesetan ekonomi kita akan bertambah buruk. I believe DS Najib and his cabinet will get the expertise required to ride through this expected storm, of course with the support from TDMM and our decent and rational rakyat. Good day and have a nice weekend.

Good day Ayahanda, keep talking and blogging as and when you like as an Ex-PM ke or UMNO member, if we can’t beat them, we confront them, through blogging and talking, and tomorrow will be another better and beautiful day!

http://www2.morganton.com/content/2008/mar/23/them-feathers-them-nekkid-chickens---correction/entertainment/

Well Tun, we won’t argue with Hanan on Jewish invention. Case in point, take a look up the http link above. The Hebrew University had invented the world’s first featherless chicken way back in 2001. Last year they perfected it by getting to the chicken while it is still in the egg with DNA technology. This kind of featherless chicken is known as “Nekkid Chicken”. Yes them nekkid chicken rhyme of the Hillbillies were borrowed.

http://www.beerorkid.com/category/animals/page/20/
Go to that http link for all them naked featherless pictures.

Err...that you fellow Hanan by any chance? Mwahaha! Just a joke Hanan, don’t take it to heart. Remember, name callings don’t hurt, stick and stones does while bullets and those Godless pilots (drones and missiles) kills. I guess the answer to your question posed would be 1-acceptance/fear, 2-understandings, 3-honesty, 4-compassion. I don’t see much avenue for things to go wrong there. Name calling on Cybertron is no extremism form. Maybe a poor head (on both sides of the divide here) socked up the wrong sized hog skin on his tally whacker, and got all cooked up and needed to vent out somewhere. On a bigger picture, let’s hope and pray for a peaceful world where acceptance and frankness seals the day to a peaceful sunset for everyone concern. In the meantime, the killings and extremism and all the reckless points must seize immediately. Save the children. Visit:

And peace be to all.

Salam kasih dan hormat Ayahanda Tun – Kamel & Committe

Assalamualaikum Tun & Semua,

Isu pokok di sini bukannya berkenaan medium bahasa pengantar di sekolah. Bahasa pengantar tetap Bahasa Kebangsaan kita, cuma hanya untuk dua (2) subjek sahaja iaitu matematik & sains, di mana 2 subjek ini merupakan perkara asas atau teras kepada bidang2 lain yg berteknologi tinggi sekarangini spt kejuruteraan, perubatan, sistem kewangan, penyelidikan sains, teknologi maklumat, pengurusan, dan byk lagilah..

Ini adalah perlu kerana bersebab, ini kerana kita perlu terima hakikat bahawa dalam dunia sekarang ini di peringkat global, percambahan ilmu dan penemuan baruadalah semakin pantas dan terbuka, setiap minit, setiap jam, akan ada saja artikel2 baru, jurnal, penemuan baru, laporan ujian dan ujikaji, dan semua kertas ilmiah ini pula di peringkat global menggunakan satu bahasa common yg sudah diterimapakai secara menyeluruh iaitu di dalam bahasa Inggeris. Walaupun penghasilnya itu orang Jepun ke, orang India ke, orang Cina ke, orang Sepanyol ke, orang Perancis ke, orang Jerman ke, orang Afrika ke, orang inggeris ke, semuanya diterbitkan dalam bahasa Inggeris supaya hasil2 mereka dapat denagn cepatnya diterima, diulas, dipakai, diiktiraf, dikomen, diolah oleh masyarakat global tidak kira apa bangsa pun. Dah itu hakikat dunia sekarang ini, kita kena terimalah. Lainlah kita bangsa Melayu pernah menjajah atau menguasai separuh dunia ini ke, maka kita boleh menerapkan apa yg kita hendak.

Kita tidak sepatutnya memandang rendah kemampuan budak-budak kecil zaman sekarang, kalau masa zaman kita dulu darjah satu pun belum tentu boleh membaca, dah sekolah menengah pun tak pernah sentuh apa itu komputer. Zaman sekarang sudah berbeza, anak saudara saya yg umur 4 tahun pun dah tahu macamana nak browse internet, budak darjah satu sekarang ramai dah boleh baca suratkhabar.

Ini menunjukkan bahwa anak-anak kecil generasi sekarang ini sudah berkemampuan untuk menerima sebarang maklumat dan tunjuk ajar. Kita tak perlu goyah. Mereka sudah mampu mengpelbagaikan keupayaan mereka dalam sebarang medium (multi-tasking, multilinggual).

Potensi inilah yang patut kita terokai, gilap, asuh, gunakan, supaya mereka diperingkat menengah dan tinggi sudah "resourceful, knowledgeable, self-sufficient, confident". Maka Insya Allah, bolehlah kita harapkan mereka ini pula yg akan memperingkatkan ketamadunan kita ini di peringkat global.

Kepada Gapena janganlah galakkan sikap "Pengecut" , Takut Cabaran, Mudah Putus Asa, kepada anak-anak kecil kita. Lebih baik Gapena menghasilkan karya-karya hebat yg dunia boleh iktiraf dan terima dan banyak bangsa lain minat untuk memahaminya sehingga ada diterjemahkan ke bahasa mereka?????? Sebagai contoh pengarang Tun Sri Lanang berjaya menghasilkan satu terbitan yg dikaji oleh berpuluh-puluh bangsa asing yg besar, iaitu Kitab Sulalatus Salatin yang diterjemahkan bukan sahaja ke dalam bahasa Inggeris, bahkan ke bahasa Russia, bahasaBelanda, bahasa Perancis, Bahasa German dan banyak lagi. Mereka mengkaji dan menghalusi isi kandungannya dan senyap-senyap ada yg mengambil iktibar danmemahami secara kasar sistem, norma, pentadbiran, kaedah, pendekatan, budaya dan pemikiran masyarakat belah sini. Begitu juga Kitab Hukum Kanun Melaka dan Undang-undang Laut Melaka yang telah mendapat pengiktirafan UNESCO sebagai warisan dunia. Tidak kurang juga Raja Ali Haji yg menghasilkan Tuhfat Al Nafis yang juga diterjemahkan ke bahasa asing.

Adalah lebih baik Gapena bekerja ke arah penghasilan karya-karya yang hebat. Tidak semestinya dengan menghasilkan novel, cerpen dan sebagainya.

Saya hanya terharu, bila menonton filem Queen of Langkasuka. Ia diterbitkan oleh penerbit Thailand yg pernah menghasilkan cerita Nang Nak. Sungguh ironi, orang Thailand lebih menghargai sejarah ketamadunan Melayu lama dan dapat membawanya dengan 'detail' ke layar perak. Cuma bahasanya bahasa Siam lah, kerana mereka yg menerbitkanya, walaupun kita boleh menonton kostume, istiadat, propnya sungguh Melayu.. Kalau hendak mengharapkan penerbit filem Malaysia, mereka lebih suka menghasilkan cerita lucu, percintaan, gejala sosial dan sebagainya. Tetapi mereka tidak dapat menghasilkan filem sejarah dengan tepat, kerana mungkin mereka sendiri tidak membaca kitab-kitab lama, cuma berdasarkan sedikit maklumat ringkas dan skrip maka terhasillah filem-filem sejarah yg melucukan seperti adegan perang yang hanya menggunakan 50-100 orang tentera, pelabuhan Melaka yg hanya ada kapal dua-tiga buah, jeti, bangsal, gerai-gerai kosong yg hanya menjual buah2an dan makanan. Langsung tidak dapat menggambarkan suasana yg diceritakan di dalam kitab-kitab lama di mana di bandar Melaka yg kecil ketika itu berpenduduk 190,000 orang, terdapat lebih kuran 84 bahasa pertuturan yg boleh di dengar di bandar pelabuhan itu dengan gudang-gudang besar berpengawal dan sentiasa sibuk, dan beratus-ratus buah kapal yg berlabuh seperti cucuk udang, mempunyai sistem jalanraya yg dipanggil lebuh yg akan dipantau oleh kakitangan Temenggung dengan adanya pos kawalan di setiap simpang empat lebuh, mempunyai balai kastam yg teratur dan banyak lagi.

Terima kasih

Dear Tun,

THE EXTREMISTS: Our nation needs to confront and address this issue now. We are a blessed young nation. There were many wonderful Malaysians working over many years to build our nation. Our institutions and our nation could be destroyed in a very short time by extremists - if they move in to infiltrate our Government and institutions.

WHERE DID EXTREMISTS COME FROM?

It used to be the print media up to ten years ago. There were extreme views then. It means that distortion, sensationalism and propaganda must be rife. Today it is the broadband media. It can be shocking to read the extreme comments in a neutral medium like MI. MI is just one and there are many others that are controlled by groups to spread propaganda and influence the web visitors. The extremists, communists and even terrorists suddenly have a perfect means to run their operations - which is mainly to get supporters. Their goal is to convert them towards their cause. It is extremely dangerous not only to Malaysia, but to the world as well. In Malaysia, this channel can bring down a Government; destroy our institutions and our country. Chin Peng case is one to illustrate my point. There were far too many distorted views from the web participants. I am just wondering why the majority of the participants did not give a fair an impartial view. It only means that the web media is now used by many extremists as a very effective propaganda machinery.

Political parties are now using the broadband multimedia for political leverage. Pakatan is doing very well here and our ruling coalition has a lot of catch up to do. Barisan should put in a good effort here so that the diehard supporters on both side of the political divide are balanced. Tun had put your heart and soul to build our country. Tun should preserve your good name and be neutral. I understand that Tun has a deep passion for Barisan. Otherwise, Tun would not be bothered to be our national leader. Time has changed and the electorate is now unpredictable, especially with the new voters coming in. Our country need to prepare and groom leaders for both Barisan and Pakatan to run the next Government. If we leave it to chance, then we would have the wrong people or even extremists in our next Government. There are thousands of ethical Malaysians that can be selected to join in the pool. This will eliminate the extremists, the opportunists and even the frogs.

We are all shaped by our upbringing. The family education may just be a small part in inculcating extreme views. There are mainly stereotypes.

Extremism may not emanate from our school systems from 1980 onwards. The teachers in Government funded vernacular schools are trained by the Government. The problem is the segregated Malay, Chinese, English and Tamil schools. This is the puzzle Malaysia need to solve to achieve one Bangsa. What about having one big school where students can go to their respective streams but intermingle with each other at the secondary level. This is like a University having different faculties. The vernacular schools in Malaysia stem from parents fear. A Chinese family, for instance, may fear that it would lose a child if the child was sent to a non-Chinese school.

IMPACT ON MALAYSIAN FABRIC:

Extremists or opportunists at the right place will destroy our nation, our institutions and our national fabric. It will paralyse the well-being and functioning of our nation. The extremists can infiltrate our Federal and State Governments, our Judiciary, our institutions like ISIS, Bank Negara or EPU. As an example, a mole can be planted at Bank Negara to move the Government policies to open up the financial institutions to the detriment of our nation.

WHAT CAN BE DONE?

Malaysia can set up a neutral body for insiders to report abuse and fraud without retribution. The Enron scandal was exposed when a clerk who saw the financial anomaly reported the fraud. The clerk had great difficulty getting to the right person. As an example, a new State Government, with opportunists, may changed the Land Codes for personal gains. Those working in the Land Office who comes across the irregularities are encouraged to submit a report to a national neutral body for investigation. If you cut off the incentives, then the extremists and the opportunists will eventually perish. Oh. We also need to strengthen our institutions to fend off extremists and opportunists. Do it now before they come in.

Nswamy couldn't have hit the nail more on the head, than to point out your own contribution to the poor state of Education in the country.

Language is to culture, what Knowledge is to progress...you confused both of this, and instilled a poor legacy in what today's Malaysian education was built on.

Yes, you can argue you did it on the basis of Nationalism - but what progress did it bring to the country?

Our higher education system is considered pale in comparison to what is being offered in Singapore, let alone the world.

And you have always been condescending to Singapore even though you got your degree from there.

And as for your blog in itself on the suject of Extremism - well sir, you were uncompromising in your authoritarian rule. You were every bit the extremist yourself. And I find it a joke that you'ld write about a subject matter in which you exemplify 100%.

I can't wait to hear the counter comments from your comedy "sidekicks" HBT and Jeng3...LOL

(Ravi)

Dear Hanan,

Before my beloved Tun answers your question, I also have questions for you. Please answer it honestly with human logic, not by your own logic.

My questions:

1) Is killing, persecuting and oppressing thousands of innocent Palestinian - extremism?

2) Is robbing someone's right (i.e Palestinian lands) through brutal forces - extremism?

2) Is carpet - bombing and using phosphorus bombs to attack armless and innocent Palestinians - extremism?

3) Is depriving innocent Palestinian children of food and proper medicine - extremism?

4)And this is the last, is head-shooting Palestinian teenager who threw stones at your soldier - extremism?

Thanks for your attention.

Salam buat Tun dan keluarga

Pada pendapat saya
1.Semua yang extrim adalah tak menguntungkan dan tak mendatangkan kebaikkan.

Yang paling penting adalah "bersederhana"......

terima kasih

Salam Sejahtera Y.Bhg. TUN, semoga senantiasa sihat sejahtera di samping keluarga..

pertelingkahan dan persengketaan di kalangan masyarakat kita ini akan hanya merugikan dan melemahkan perpaduan yang akhirnya menjadi bahan oleh pihak asing untuk mengambil kesempatan menangguk di air yang keruh..seharusnya kita bekerjasama memelihara kemakmuran dan keamanan yang kita kecapi demi kesinambungan untuk generasi yang akan datang..tidak salah untuk memberi pendapat dan kritikan asalkan ianya tidak melampau sehinggakan membelakangkan kedaulatan undang-undang yang menjadi Rukun Negara kita..justeru ini marilah kita sama-sama marapatkan saf dengan berganding bahu memelihara negara Malaysia yang tercinta ini..

Terima kasih TUN...

Thinking Malaysians & ex-Malaysians do despair seeing the lack of progress in our racial unitedness, quarrels still over the usage of English to teach Science & Maths and many issues that define an advance nation. All these show Malaysia is still a long way from being a developed country - it doesn't count having a twin tower, some highways & numerous shiny shopping centres. These structures can be built in a desert or on the moon but it is the inhabitants that make a nation.

It was during your "reign" that English was down graded & BM used to teach those subjects in all schools. A generation later you realise its folly & I applaud you for reversing it. But others like Singapore, Taiwan & Korea have gone far ahead & their scholars make much effort to master English. Theirs is just pragmatism - less of the chest beating nationalism. And many English speaking countries are today teaching their students Chinese in anticipation of future needs!!

Malaysian politics have created a backward looking culture in this country. Every little decision get politicised & politicians are into everything. The news on all medias simply report the "positive" activities of the leading ministers - usually the PM. So businessmen, academics & even the artists need the patronage of powerful politicians. Can a society really advance under such an enviroment? If it is fortunate enough to have a really wise & benevolent leader it may keep pace with others but will never be a cutting edge leader.

Even worse this inherently faulty political culture has attracted people who use politics to get riches. Yes corruption has corrupted the democracy Malaysia practices. Politician will use whatever means to get into power - racialism, extremism, money politics you name it. There is hardly any judicial checks & balances to moderate the excesses for the judicial & media are politicised too. Dr. you are much to blame for you were there at the helm the longest. All these come into being over a long period of time & it will take equally long to unwind. You can't blame the West or Abdullah as he was there only 5 years. So it really surprises me that Major Anuar (a comment earlier) blames AB for whatever unpleasant is happening.

Najib & whoever after him won't be able to do much unless they have the courage to make drastic changes to the political system. There is less petroleum money in the future to paper over such weaknesses or pay off the discontent. Dr. you do not have the time nor power to make any changes now & your ranting detracts from the true causes. Perhaps you should sit back, reflect & be humble enough to admit where it has truly gone wrong & then make constructive suggestions to the people, all Malaysians not just one race.

Dear Tun,

This country has always had its share of extremists. Some have
even resorted to arms, some are just myopic racists. The Dong
Zio Jong is typical of the latter.

However of late. More specifically after the last general
elections, these extremists have become more vociferous, even
taking to the streets demonstrating, causing so much
inconvenience. And by doing so holding
the general public to ransom.

These extremists are becoming more daring simply because they
can count on the opposition inclined Bar Council for sympathy
and support and of course more importantly they can count on
every opposition party in the land, the PKR especially to come
to their aid.

I just can't imagine what will happen to this country if Chin
Peng and those of his ilk are allowed to return. I am sure
there are enough ignorant fools and a sufficient number of
extremists too who will welcome this evil doer with garlands.
Please let us not be deluded by GERAKAN's Teng Hock Nan.

The ignoramuses the extremiists and the dormant communists
are a very dangerous mix. They should never be allowed to come
together. For if they do, then I am inclined to believe this
beautiful nation is in for darker times.

Salam Tun

I am shocked to learn that many of our bright Malaysian youngsters who excelled in their exams had failed to get public scholarships but others who performed worse than them, managed to get it. I don't know what is happening under Hishamuddin's time as MoE but this has left a black mark for me for Barisan Nasional. As ruling government and leaders of this nation, BN must be fair. Also, this kind of policy is going to cause our country to 'rugi' as many bright students cannot study in the best universities. I understand BN has some kind of formula which puts a lot of emphasis on race and a mediocre percentage on exam performance. This again is a form of discrimination and an example of lack of meritocracy. Again another black mark for the BN since it involves such an important concept. BN must be seen to be fair and act fairly.

If a Malay student cannot perform as well as a Chinese, then the Chinese should get the scholarship. This will membakar lagi semangat the Malay's parents to ensure their children perform better than the Chinese and as a result we Malays may even overtake the Chinese. I don't know. I don't think the BN Govt has put a lot of thought into this.

Dear Tun,

It is a mind opening article from you. It may me realise how fragile situation we are in.

These extremist guys are actually a bunch of COWARD people. There are very selfish and the most damming truth is that the extremist "use" other people to carry-out their(extremist) own selfish agenda. These are the actual traitors to the country. Basically they are 'musuh dalam selimut'. The extremist are also a very clever bunch of people. They play with the sentiment of the people and use it to the extremist's advantage that why you can see riots and all sort of disturbance that threthen the harmony that the rakyat enjoy now. While the 'blind' followers doing all the 'dirty' work, these extremist guy are having a good time where they enjoy caviar, fine wine and all other 'heavenly' things.

I feel sad if Tun call it a day on these and other problem that the country is facing. I think we will have a state of anarchy.

We should ever surrender to these extremists.

assalamualaikum Tun.
Semoga Tun sihat sentiasa..
Kenapa ye, PPMSI dok bunyi lagi skrg nie..igtkan dah tak dak dah..
Saya mmg sokong sgt akan PPMSI ni sbb saya tahu bahasa inggeris mmg penting..Setahu saya,byk siswazah yg tak dapat kerja sbb tak cukup fasih berbahasa inggeris..Bukan stakat compeny swasta je yg interview guna english,malah kalu nak jd PTD M41 pun interview dlm bahasa mat salleh..
Bagi saya,pembangkang tetap tak akan setuju apa jua idea untuk kepentingan rakyat yg kerajaan utarakan..kerana tak penah sy jumpa ahli² pembangkang yg biasa² jer kerana semuanya terlalu EXTREM ngn parti depa..Cuma depa akan setuju ngn kerajaan bila kerajaan nak bg bonus jer..
Walauapa pun,bagi kanak² di luar bandar khususnya bg palajar yg tidak mempunyai org yg tahu bahasa inggeris dlm keluarga mereka tetap bermasalah untuk belajar Sains dan Mate dlm bahasa English kerana tiada Orang yg boleh dirujuk apabila mereka buat kerja rumah yg diberi atau apabila ingin mengulangkaji pelajaran,dan ini akan membuatkan mereka cepat terasa bosan..Oleh sebab itu,pihak kerajaan atau kementerian yg bertanggungjawab perlu mencari jalan bagaimana untuk menyelesaikan masalah ini terlebih dahulu supaya PPMSI ini lebih berjaya..
Saya nak jugak tahu, Tak boleh ke Kerajaan Buat PPMSI ni di peringkat sekolah menengah sahaja, dan pada peringkat sekolah rendah,kanak² ini cuma diberi penekanan untuk belajar bahasa Inggeris dengan memperbanyakkan kelas Bahasa English dan mewujudkan English Day satu hari dalam seminggu,dimana semua org dalam sekolah tak kira pelajar, cikgu, makcik kantin,pak guard sekolah,tukang kebun, makcik kerani perlu berkomunikasi dalam bahasa english..supaya mereka mempunyai asas bahasa english dahulu sebelum meneruskan PPMSI..
Walaupun,saya sgt setuju dgn PPMSI, tetapi saya percaya Kebanyakkan Orang Pandai bawa Basikal Dulu, Baru pandai bawa moto lak,hihihih..

Assalamualaikum Tun Mahathir,

Extremists are dangerous. When someone go to the extreme (and hence become an exteremist), his/her mind is already closed. No more open mind. Or basically, no more thinking or proper use of the brain. With non-functional brain, he/she lost the very advantage humans has over non-humans. Need we say more?. More often than not, this group of people often said "we have no choice". People, whatever the situation, we MUST keep our brain working. Whatever the situation. We have the choice of whether we want our brain to work or not. To be able to think is our foremost basic right.

As for the PPSMI issue, I have a feeling that there is no clear solution at the moment (with all the people trying to take advantage of the situation). I am for the PPSMI, despite coming from non-urban area. I went through the experience of learning the technology (math and science included) myself till the university. For the love of Bahasa Melayu, yes I do wish that I can learn in Malay but where are the resources (books, etc.)? They are just not there. It is a fact. Do I stop learning? No. Unless I want to be behind others.

Thus, for those whom are against the PPSMI, please let it continue first. Don't abruptly stop it. No, nationwide demo is also not the only choice. Instead work hard in producing and strengthening the resources. We will do better this way. Don't let this issue be used by the politicians. They are just trying to gain power instead of supporting the cause (for all you know, their kids are learning everything in other languages than Bahasa melayu).

Terima Kasih Tun Mahathir.

THIS IS ONE PARTICULARLY STUPID COMMENTATOR;

" By Das on May 28, 2009 3:17 AM
Dear Tun!

After 50 odd years of Independence from the British, what has Malaysia achieved?! The Twin Towers? Genting Highlands? The upcoming Iskhandar development in Johor? The North South Highway?......and so the list goes!!!!! Academically? Nothing to brag about!!!!!

Who, in the first place, set the precedent?! The Chinese, Indians, Dayaks.....who Tun?! To boost up what ever morale that Malaysians need, don't look any further!!!! Just look down South at your immediate neighbour, Singapore and you will find ample answers to your fledging egos! Branded on umpteen ocassion as being "Chinese" by the elite in your midst, look at what they have achived since their Independence! Never mind if they have even been branded as "a little red dot"! I personally feel that the Malays and Indians there are certainly, academically speaking as well, far better than those in Malaysia! All this in a short span of approximately 44 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't blame the British or anyone else for your miseries! If we look within ourselves, the answers are certainly there and that too aplenty!!!!!!!!

Let's look forward, Dear Tun! Not backwards as has been done in the last 50 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

MY COMMENTS - Dear Das,
Please read an article by Dr. Lily Zubaidah Rahim as a beginning point in your learning lesson to learn the truth.The article is called "The Singapore Dilemma'.It is easily available on the net and you can just google it.

This can be considered your starting point to realise that you are a moron.I'll keep you up to date if you want with other relevant articles and perhaps a section of the Singapore constitution?

p/s -Do not expose your stupidity too much by wondering about the benefits of North South highway!

Jeng3

Dear Tun,

I don't know if you really read the comments in your blog. What saddens me that a topic as simple as the medium of instruction for Maths and Science, can be turned into a "race and religion" thing by the comments made here and elsewhere.

Actually, only the politicians are busy and loudly campaigning for the use of mother tongue. The rakyat, in general, is supportive of the use of English as medium of instruction for Maths and Science. Unfortunately, the mass media are also controlled by the politicians and therefore the apparent big furore over this issue.

The irony of it all is that those clamouring for the use of mother tongue will send their children, some even as young as 13 years old, for studies in some overseas countries or the local international schools where the medium of instruction is, surprise, surprise, ....English. And if they don't send their kids there, they will pressure the kids to study hard so as to qualify for the Govt scholarship to study overseas....in English!

Salam Dear Tun,

I've already pen in all my idea and suggestion on PPSMI. Seems like our idea has been thrown to drain. The government tents to follow the extremist. Our idea is being ignored just because we didn’t do any demonstration. To me we are more highly intellectual people, not that I wanted to boast, but yaa… seem that we are those who think that the idea of demonstration is ridiculous and actually in Islam, it is consider as a sins. It’s a sin when you block the road, make other people work unnecessarily, poison people mind as if learning in English is a sins ect..ect…

Seem like Tokoh Negarawan is no more a Tokoh. To have the title ‘tokoh’ one need to show the best attitude so that people idolize you…Sorry la Tan Sri A Samat Said….

Thank you Tun, for all your good deeds. Just remember that there are always people on you side and always support you. May Allah bless you. Semoga Tun di rahmati ALLAH sentiasa.

Salam Tun,

Perhaps you should take the back seat and relax and improve your submission towards Allah and reflect on the things you do or say in the context of preparing yourself for the afterlife. Go seek the direction recommended in the Quran. I hope you have faith in Islam still for I'd say it'd be such a waste if a person of your status (not that we need it where we're all going or aspire to go when we die) were to go to hell.

Just a friendly reminder.

Salam.

Salam Tun,

Semasa saya di SMK, saya tidak pernah ada masalah untuk bergaul dengan kawan saya dari lain kaum. Tetapi, kerana saya masuk ke sekolah Laki-Laki, saya kurang senang bergaul dengan rakan wanita sampai sekarang. Logik ini boleh di gunakan untuk SJK dan SAK di mana pergaulan antara kaum adalah kurang sampai sekarang.

Tidak ada masalah parti-parti politik mahu memperjuangkan kaum-kaum mereka dan ideologi mereka. Saya faham mengapa setiap kaum memperjuangkan hak-hak mereka tetapi apabila mereka mahu memijak-mijak hak kaum dan pihak lain dan mencabar dan menghina kaum lain, mereka harus dihukum.

Saya rasa ada 'pelampau-pelampau' yang memang ada perjuangan yang murni dan indah tetapi 'pelampau-pelampau' yang sengaja cari kacau, menghasut dan menjadi batu api dan sengaja mengengkari polis dan ada yang lari ke Australia, mereka patut dihukum.

Itu saja dua kupang saya.

Salam Tun,

PS. I feel that Najib's decision not to contest Penanti was a masterstroke as we now see how 'innocent' the contestants are.

Most of the conflicts in the world, started from lack of understanding, or misunderstood. To make matter worst, comes ignorance, lack of desire to understand others better.

In the dark history of Islam, we had learn the importance to understand each other. In the case of Muawiah and Ali Abi Talib, both have the correct reason, there are no influence of greed or power struggle. If only both understood each other better, the "Sifir" war wouldn't be a reality.

All I am saying, to reduce, if not to avoid all these issues, we need to know the reasoning of others and to make others understood our reasoning. With such advance technologies, this objective only need efforts. We should broadcast a lot of public debates, between the proposer and the opposer, which does not necessarily be between government and the opposition. Yes, there will be a price to pay for this event, but frankly, I think it is a small price to pay to avoid conflicts.

You had already shown your effort in explaning it via your blog, job well done, but still it is not sufficient.

One of my motto in life is, "You'll never sell newspaper to a person who can't read, you need to teach them how to read first."

Regards,

Mohd Zakhiri Bin Mat Taib

Dear Tun,

I simply pick a few comments from this blog and am sure many of the people are peaceful minded. In future I hope the rakyat will not support any 'race' or religious based political party. Unless we lay these political parties to the graveyard the same problems will perpetuate.

Dear my beloved Tun,
I do not understand after over 50 years of Independence and we still and constantly have to confront each other on racial issues.Actually most Malaysians do not have much problem in living with each other but I feel that the politicians and of course the extremist are the one to be blamed for such racial issues.

Oops!! who's speaking ...about extremism?
BTN course,Keris wielding (UMNO) ,Utusan Melayu,Ketuanuan Melayu,
Pewaris dll...
You shot yourself on the foot!

Tun,
Saya setuju dengan Tun bahawa saya juga adalah salah seorang 'member of the silent majority' dan kalau boleh hanya mahu menumpukan masa untuk membaiki masa depan saya serta tidak mahu ambil tahu tentang hal-hal lain.Bagaimanapun saya naik rimas dengan apa yang berlaku di negara kita sekarang.
Saya setuju dengan kenyataan Majer (b) Haji Anuar bahawa "our country is a time bom and only god knows when it will explode."
Masalah yang berlaku di negara kita sekarang ini berpunca disebabkan ketaksuban masyarakat Melayu terhadap pemimpin parti pembangkang tertentu sehingga tidak tahu membuat sebarang penilaian dan menerima secara bulat-bulat apa yang dikatakan oleh pemimpin pembangkang ini.Pemimpin pembangkang inilah yang menjadi punca perpecahan masyarakat Melayu sekarang.
Kaum Cina pula taksub dengan sekolah Cina mereka dan apa-apa perkara yang berkaitan kaum mereka.Isu kesamarataan antara kaum (seolah-olah tiada kesamarataan) menjadi agenda penting perjuangan mereka.Saya ulangi bahawa sebenarnya tiada meritokrasi seperti yang dilaung-laungkan oleh Menteri Mentor Lee Kuan Yew di Singapura.Apa sebenarnya yang berlaku di republik itu ialah penindasan satu kaum majoriti yang berselindung kononnya atas dasar meritokrasi ke atas kaum lain.
Saya juga hairan terdapat masyarakat Malaysia yang bersimpati dengan kumpulan pengganas LTTE di Sri Lanka.Mereka ini tidak dapat membezakan (buta mata dan hati) antara kumpulan pengganas dengan penduduk Palestin yang ditindas oleh Israel.Ada yang menuduh kerajaan Malaysia bersikap memilih apabila menyokong perjuangan penduduk Palestin.
Saya bukan penyokong AS, tetapi di negara itu apabila mahkamah telah membuat keputusan, kedua-dua parti politik yang berbalah akan akur.Di negara kita sejak akhir-akhir ini, mereka yang memperjuangkan sistem kehakiman yang bebas, hanya akur apabila keputusan mahkamah itu memihak kepada mereka.Begitu juga mereka yang memperjuangankan kebebasan akhbar tetapi mengharamkan akhbar yang mereka tidak suka kerana tidak memihak kepada mereka di negeri yang mereka perintah.Dan lebih malang lagi, terdapat masyarakat Melayu yang menyokong membuta tuli pemimpin-pemimpin sebegini.
As to Hanan, Jewish, Israel, the reason Malaysia dont have diplomatic relations with Israel is because the extremist attitude of your leaders towards the Palestinian people.Malaysians are disapointed whenever there are peace between Palestine and Israel, extremist Israel leaders will dismantle it.And these extremist leaders like Netantahu are chosen by the Israelis voters.I hope what i wrote will answer your questions about etremism.
Salam Tun.

Once Malaysia was prosper with the generosity examples from the strong government to it's citizen. The examples was called Subsidization in almost any sectors to help the unfortunate citizen in educations and way of living.

It's show how a simple sharing mechanism from the Islamic teaching of 'sedekah' being practice in a moderate ways. The country continue prospers since the practice helps circulates wealth among the rich and the poor citizen.

Young generation at the time growing up to follow the Government examples to help and sharing their fortunate life with the unfortunate ones. Extremist don't have a chances to spread conflicts and destructions since the citizen of this country happy living in simple life and helping each other out in almost everything they shared. The country continue to develop until we have been know exists by the world. In the end, Subsidization helps government earning more wealth in return when many citizen improve their life and becoming skillful human resources as the country valuable assets.

Now, all those good memory has been history. The richer only care to get as much money as they can and the poorer can't even allows to have chances to work their way out of the misery. Extremist were around the corners offering a promise to a miserable future by misleading the facts of life.

Every one only care about their oneself and government would find it hard to put them together to develop the future plan. Lies has been spread every where until we find hard to recognize which fact was the truth path to life in peace.

Extremist is a minority group that has lost their way in life. By proving the simple example how community works in moderate manner from proven example, will turn their tiny mind on see the beauty of sharing and return to support the majority by their own willingness.

Dear Tun, salam mesra moga sihat bahagia. Kiriman saya untuk tajuk panas...

...............EXTREMISTS ANTIDOTE - ISA!

Why lament the influence of the extremists? There is ISA, use it! Problem is ISA like NEP is based on colour coding. It is tissue based not issue. ISA works better with certain colours.

See the actions taken by anti PPSMI and Suqiu, compare the govt response. Suqiu never took to the streets but got locked up and threatened. Anti PPSMI spewing threats.

Looking at your opponent instead of the issue will gain you labels, even if you espouse 'apparent' common sense.

...............PRIVATE FUNDING SCHOOLS

Official schools which are fully funded by govt (federal or state), there are only 2 streams, national and religious. Vernacular schools are not govt built or funded, only partly aided on ad hoc (pitiful, kasihan) basis. About 97% education development allocation is for national schools, 2% SJKC, 1% SJKT.

Why not focus on modifying national schools (which eat up huge govt budget) to attract enrollment instead of abolishing schools which hardly cost the govt. Is there a sinister motive to finish off these schools after abandonment failed to kill it.

...............SINCERE OR SINISTER

The three streams can be streamlined if the approach is sincerity(allow mixing) not sinister(forced assimilation), to be superior(merit and excellence) not supremacy(domination).

Asking one stream to be abolished while holding on to supremacist policies wreaks racism.

one example.
Mohandass Karamchand Gandhi was hailed as a Mahatma during his life time. It still stands. The reason was not that he was a perfect man. He had his idiosyncracies. RPK has his too. We believe in RPK. We regard him of such a high principled man with his weaknesses. MM was also regarded higly by some people and by most people who had little information about his deeds. In Malaysia Today, the news is much more open then when it was during his tenure. Today we know more. Today we regard MM as he was and is today. Consequently we may not regard him highly tomorrow too. RPK is a different kettle altogehter do not compare him with MM and defame our intelligence.
I said it once before and I say it again 'YOU ARE MALAYSIA'S MAHATMA'.
MM has proven again and again his questionable character.
We have rested our case on this, it is time you did.
My 2 cents worth again.

allo YABhg Tun Dr Hj Mahathir dan Tun Dr Hjh Siti Hasmah,
salam alaikum, apa khabo?

1. saya masih lagi menyimpan surat yg Ayahanda Tun berikan kpd saya kerana balasan utk Puisi ("Ceritanya Orang Melayu", pada 2003, dan juga telah dikeluarkan di KELAB CHEDET.COM, baru baru ini) yg telah saya hadiahkan utk Tun. Saya amat menghargai surat drpd Tun itu. jutaan terima kasih.

KERANA TUAHNYA MANUSIA MELAYU BERNAMA MAHATHIR INI, YANG PERNAH MEMASUKI KAABAH!
KERANA KITA MENGAKUI ISLAM ITU AGAMA YANG MAHA SUCI DIANUGERAH KEPADA MANUSIA DAN KAABAH TEMPAT KITA MENGHADAPKAN MUKA SEBAGAI KIBLAT!

Parti PAS telah berjaya membentuk obsessi pendokong pendokong dan penyokong penyokongnya sebagai "extremists" atau "pelampau". kononnya merekalah "pejuang Islam" yang sebenar.
PAS sentiasa akan menafikan dan memburuk burukkan apa sahaja yang kerajaan BN telah buat dan akan buat.
PAS sentiasa mengeluarkan FATWA FATWA YANG PELIK PELIK DAN AJAIB! SEMUANYA UTK MENAFIKAN KEBENARAN DAN KEBAIKAN YANG KERAJAAN BN BUAT!
Sungguh malang bagi orang Melayu yang menjadi PELAMPAU PAS NI!
LANGSUNG TAK BOLEH NAMPAK KEBAIKAN ORANG LAIN!
KALAU PUAK, YANG KONONNYA ULAMA ULAMA, BILA MEREKA KELUARKAN HUJAH, IANYA BAGAI SABDA SABDA YANG TIDAK BOLEH DIBANGKANG DAN DITERIMA PAKAI OLEH PENYOKONG PENYOKONG MEREKA BULAT BULAT!

SEMEMANGNYA MEREKA INI:

JANGAN SEBUT DAN SENTUH PASAL PENDIDIKAN SEKOLAH CINA!
MERAH TELINGA MEREKA!
Kaum Cina juga telah terdapat "extremists" atau "pelampau" dikalangan mereka!
DAP dengan slogan Malaysian Malaysia, SUQUI dgn Falsafah Pendidikan Cina!
MCA juga telah terikut ikut rentak mereka!
Ini adalah kerana KERAJAAN BN DAN UMNO SEBAGAI TUNJANG NAMPAK TERLALU LEMAH KERANA TSUNAMI PRU 2008!

Baru baru ini pula, akibat daripada TSUNAMI PRU 2008, kaum India juga telah ujud satu gerakan yang dinamakan HINDRAF! Sekarang mereka telah mendaftarkan satu persatuan berdaftar yang dinamakan MAKKAL SAKHTI!
MAKKAL SAKHTI ADALAH HINDRAF!
Oleh kerana Makkal Sakhti ini telah mendapat sanjungan dan sokongan yang kuat daripada kaum India, maka MIC JUGA TELAH TERBAWA BAWA IDEALISMA MAKKAL SAKHTI INI DAN DEMI KELANGSUNGAN POLITIK MIC PEMIMPIN MIC TELAH MEMBERIKAN SOKONGAN!

Malaysia kini kelihatannya:

Burung kakaktua..
Hinggap atas rakit..
Malaysia sudah tua..
Selalu sakit sakit!!!!!!!!!!!!

Saya mohon jutaan kemaafan jika tulisan saya ini telah menyinggung perasaan YABhg Tun dan pembaca yang lainnya!

kerana:
"THINK WHAT PEOPLE SAYS, DON'T SAYS WHAT PEOPLE THINK!"
AJIJASIN.

DEAR TUN,

1.0 I GUESS 22 YEARS(REPEAT TWENTY-TWO YEARS!) AS PM OF MALAYSIA, YOU ARE REALLY THE AUTHORITY ON THE SUBJECT.

2.0 WHEN YOU BECAME PM, MANY MANY PEOPLE WERE SAYING ALOT OF NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT YOU. EVEN SINGAPORE PM LEEKWANYEW BRANDED YOU AS ULTRA MALAY WHICH SEND SHOCKWAVES AMONGST THE MALAYSIAN CHINESE AND BUSINESSMEN. AND QUITE A FEW EVEN MIGRATED OVERSEAS THEN , SUCH AS HONGKONG AND AUSTRALIA.

3.0 BUT FOR 22 YEARS OF SO-CALLED MAHATIRISM AND "ULTRA MALAY" RULE, WE WERE BLESSED WITH YOUR FAR-SIGHTED LEADERSHIP WHICH MAKES ALL RACES PROUD TO BE MALAYSIAN. WITHIN THAT TIME, YOU PUT MALAYSIA ON THE WORLD RADAR AND THE PETRONAS TWIN-TOWER IS A WORLD ICON!!

4.0 MALAYSIA WAS A "THIRD WORLD COUNTRY" WHEN YOU WERE PM, NOW MALAYSIA IS THE BENCH-MARK FOR MANY COUNTRIES INCLUDING THE DEVELOPED NATIONS AND WE HAVE YET TO REACH "DEVELOPED NATION" STATUS.

5.0 YOU GAVE US A "VISION2020", YOU LAID THE PATH FOR MALAYSIANS TO REACH EVEN GREATER HEIGHTS (ALTHOUGH PAK LAH &CO ALMOST DID TRY TO SPOIL IT!)

6.0 OVER 22 YEARS YOU TRIED TO AVOID THE "EXTREMIST" (HERE I AM NOT REFERING TO PAS ALONE!) ALTHOUGH THEY CAUSED YOU CONSIDERABLE VEXATION.

7.0 YOU FOCUSED ON THE DEVELOPMENT AGENDA FOR ALL MALAYSIANS.

8.0 YOU CREATED MILLIONAIRE AND BILLIONAIRES WITH YOUR DEVELOPMENTS.

9.0 JUST ASK ANANDA KHRISNAN, WHO WAS HE 22 YEARS AGO?, NOW HE IS A BILLIONAIRE! JUST ASK TEH HONG PIOW, A BILLIONAIRE NOW BECAUSE OF MALAYSIAN STABILITY. IF MAHATHIR WAS AN "ULTRA MALAY" AS LEE KWAN YEW HAD ALLUDED TO IN HIS DELIBERATE DEGRADING REMARKS, MAHATHIR WOULD HAVE CAUSE THE GOVERNMENT TO ACQUIRE PUBLIC BANK THEN. NO, THAT HE DID NOT DO.

10.0 IT DO NOT MATTER TO MAHATHIR IF YOU ARE MALAY, CHINESE, INDIANS OR SARAWAKIANS OR SABAHANS, MANY TOOK THE OPPORTUNITIES UNDER SO-CALLED MAHATIRSM DEVELOPMENT AGENDAS AND MORE THAN A FEW BECAME RICH BEYOND THEIR WILDEST DREAMS!

11.0 NOW UNDER NAJIB, "1MALAYSIA" LOOKS LIKE THE WAY FORWARD COMPLIMENTING THE VISION2020. ALTHOUGH IT IS STILL WORK-IN-PROGRESS, NAJIB PLANS/VISION SEEMS TO BE A GOOD ONE FOR ALL.

12.0 YES, MAYBE SOME OLD POLICIES MAY HAVE TO BE REVIEWED BUT WE MUST ALWAYS MOVE FORWARD TOGETHER.

13.0 RESPECT.RESPECT.RESPECT.

14.0 RESPECT THE RUKUN-NEGARA. SHOW LOYALTY TO THE KING AND THE SULTANS.

15.0 EXTREMIST ARE THOSE WHO CALL OTHERS RACISTS!

16.0 RESPECT YOUR MALAYSIANS FRIENDS, B'COS THIS IS HOME AND HOME TO OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS. FOR MANY THIS IS OUR ONLY HOME!

CHEERS.

Assalamualaikum YABhg.Tun,
Agree with your take on the education problem... the contentious three streams!!!
If the majority agree with Vision 2020 and now 1Malaysia, then we should also agree on a single education system.. obviously there will be problems, but sacrifices have to be made by all..and there must be the all-important political will.
Dengan izin Tun, the following is my humble opinion.
wassallam.

Give priority to national interest
By: (May 26, 2009)
I AM glad that the rakyat had responded warmly to the 1Malaysia concept. My understanding of this concept is that it is an endeavour to attain a united, successful and peaceful nation. It envisages to create a feeling of oneness among the people. In a nutshell, it entails that all Malaysians feel, think and act as one.

Every Malaysian should therefore look at the big picture and give priority to national interest, instead of harping on issues which are counter productive to racial integration and disregard provisions in our constitution.

Let us for once be honest with ourselves and admit that the country has developed by leaps and bounds since independence because of the policies put in place.

The New Economic Policy (NEP) has ensured the well-being of underprivileged groups, ensuring a harmonious environment for all the races. Since there are claims of pitfalls, then we have to positively revisit the policy and rectify any weaknesses in its implementation. But the NEP with its good economic and social virtues should stay.

Since we are still grappling with racial integration issues even though we have attained nationhood for almost 52 years, concerted effort should be undertaken to arrest the situation.

We have no alternative but to consolidate our efforts. Instead of clamouring on our differences we should agree on some common grounds especially in crucial areas such as language and education. For the benefit of posterity we must decide for uniformity on these issues.

It is incumbent on us to look to our history and take cognisance of our harmonious and glorious past. We became what we are today because of the happenings of yore. To ignore this will be at our own peril.

Every citizen should be reminded of all the sacrifices made in the past. Views of Tun V. T.
Sambanthan (speech in the Dewan Rakyat on June 1, 1965) and that of Tun Tan Siew Sin (statement in a daily dated April 30, 1969) are significant and should be discussed diligently by all for their truth, resourcefulness and wisdom.

By understanding our history, we will be able to appreciate the reasons for our existence and avoid actions that might result in further racial degeneration. We should also encourage our children who are young and impressionable to learn, understand and converse in the national language and mix freely with all the races to develop the spirit of respect, caring and understanding. What better way to achieve this than to introduce the single education system.

This is the answer to our present predicament. This should have been the launching pad of 1Malaysia.

In this time and age, a harmonious and peaceful civil society will only come into being if there is respect and trust between the people and an equitable distribution of wealth among the various races. That should be the simple meaning of 1Malaysia to all of us.

Salam TUN,
From my opinion, everybody include myself have/always say " THANK YOU, FORGIVENESS, GRATITUDE".

Be positif & be happy.

Thank.

Salam Tun. I hope you are keeping well.

It’s odd coming from you, the word surrender? Or did I not comprehend the true sight?

Does that mean anyone who wants and needs anything can get what they want; do things their way, just because they are extremists?

Does it fair to label someone racists when they themselves are extremists?

Can you call it justice, when they want equalities but they condemn unity?

From me to the extremists, “Cakap tak serupa bikin.”

Skrg ni semua bising pasal kebebasan bersuara. Semua nak pastikan hak masing2 dijaga. Yg peliknya ramai yg sanggup buat perkara2 yg extreme utk capai apa yg mereka hendak. Agaknya bila ekonomi dah merudum, ramai yg ada lebih masa utk fikir pasal hak masing2. Masa zaman Tun dulu, bila ekonomi tengah rancak, tak ada pula mereka2 yg extreme ni. Semua sibuk buat duit kot?

Tun,

For the Extremists it is necessary to turn the country into a cementry in order to pacify it !.

What we all Malaysian must remember is that the fall of any empires is always dangerous and seldom leads to the tranquil properity that their enemies anticipate !

Lets all right thinking Malaysian, ensure that the extremists wish list be checked in the bud.

Regards Tun,,,,,,, take it easy, we all are listening/watching what politicians are calling ?

Capt.

Assalamua'laikum Tun

Being involved for so long in the nation building, I can envisaged your predicament. Do not give up, those opposed will come to their sense one day, and just hope and pray the acceptance will not be too very late just like how we appreciate Allahyarham P.Ramlee.

Dearest YAB dan Di Kasihi Tun,

Only an ULTRA like Tun can handle the EXREMISTS effectively…

I already made my conclusion. DS Najib is not much different from Tun Lah. Wake up DS Najib! I am also not sure what 1Malaysia means…I believe DS Najib failed to explain clearly what it actually means…

-- May Allah SWT bless Tun & family --

Dear Tun,

There is talk of the town saying that Omar Ong has been appointed as a board member of Petronas. I wonder if you could confirm on this being an advisor of Petronas.

Najib seems to be silence on this new appointment. Rightfully, he should react fast and make an official statement on this matter. It is now a field day for bloggers making their stand "loud and clear" disapproving this new appointment of Omar Ong (the Tingkat 4 think tank) as well as Syed Hamid.
The faster Najib makes the clarification the better for him to establish the credibility of the BN government to be fully transparent.

Don't tell me he is having the same "sleeping syndrome" like Tun Pak Lah !!

Dear Tun,
You and I should continue to speak our minds. Why should we bother if there are dissent to our views and opinion. Most people make their political stands on self interest. It is understandable. The beauty of multi racial cosmopolitan society can be observed at the Universiti Malaya hospital. Recently my son Arif Tan was operated on and warded for 2 months for brain cancer at the hospital. The racial harmony and interaction among the nurses, doctors and the patients is examplary.

amin tan

old habit die hard.. i wish i am as persistent as Tun are. most of us Malays lack of those including me

Salam Tun,

U r d greatest man, tun..

I faced difficulties at university just because i dont

thanks tun, for everything...

assalamualaikum.....
pendapat saya bahawa takdak lagi org melayu yg belajar bahasa inggeris yg tak reti bahasa melayu.contoh dah ramai.sekadar renungan.

6. Then there is the controversy over the teaching of science and mathematics in English. We curse the person who had proposed this, calling him a betrayer of his mother tongue, of the national language. Then there are those who want to carry out a nationwide strike if the policy is not changed.

Salam Tun,
Saya merupakan salah seorang rakyat Malaysia atau lebih tepat seorang Melayu yang menerima faedah daripada dasar pengajaran dan pembelajaran sains dan matematik dalam bahasa Inggeris. Saya mula mempelajari sains dan matematik dalam bahasa Inggeris ketika saya mengikuti pengajian pra-universiti (tingkatan 6). Dek kerana merasa senang dengan dasar tersebut yang berjalan sehingga hari ini, saya sendiri terlupa bagaimana rasanya ketika saya mula-mula mengenali istilah-istilah sains dan matematik dalam bahasa Inggeris. Ya, mungkin ketika itu saya berasa takut dengan dasar tersebut, tapi kini saya selesa dengannya dan amat bersyukur sekali.
Dalam pada saya menyambung pengajian ke peringkat yang lebih tinggi, saya semakin memahami kerelevanan dasar PPSMI ini.Terima kasih Tun. Dalam beberapa minggu keputusan mengenai dasar PPSMI ini akan dibentangkan.... saya berasa amat susah hati. Kelihatannya ramai yang menyokong agar dasar ini dimansuhkan. Mengapa? kami adalah generasi masa hadapan yang bakal memimpin negara. Nasib negara ini di tangan kami, mengapa mereka hanya membantah? tidak mahu menerima?, terlalu cepat menghukum, tidak mahu mendalami? Ini mengenai masa depan saya...bukan sekadar masa depan saya..tapi masa depan kami semua. Cabaran pada masa hadapan adalah sama sekali tidak sama dengan apa yang kita lalui sekarang. saya yakin dan percaya ketika Tun mengusulkan dasar ini, sudah pasti Tun telah memandang jauh ke hadapan.
Kemelayuan saya tidak berkurang walaupun saya belajar sains dan matematik dalam bahasa Inggeris. Secara peribadi, kepada sesiapa yang menuduh "orang" yang mencadangkan dasar ini, dengan memanggilnya pengkhianat bahasa ibunda, bahasa kebangsaan, sesungguhnya zaman anda akan berlalu. Tidak salah mempertahankan bahasa kita, tetapi biar rasional, fikirkanlah tentang generasi muda seperti kami, pelajar-pelajar di luar bandar yang ingin berdiri sama tinggi dan duduk sama rendah dengan masyarakat dunia yang lain. Fikirkan, bagaimana anda ingin kami mendepani cabaran masa akan datang?
May Allah bless you and you family, Tun.

Dearest Tun,

I fully agree with you on this.

In 1997, a Kiwi friend of mine asked me, what does Malaysia look like? So I showed him pictures of KL and some beaches in Penang and Terengganu. He was surprised. He thought we were from some backwater country where the people lived with no running water and proper plumbing.

And I told him, in a sense, he was right. I told him Malaysia has first world amenities for third world people.

However, upon my return from NZ, I saw how we struggled during the '97 recession and how we clawed our way back to where we were before Abdullah took over. For a time, I thought we were going to make it. Lo and behold, the Abdullah administration managed to bring us back to that '3rd world country' mentality.

Now, when a friend of mine from Canada asked me what does Malaysia look like, I told him to watch the movie Entrapment. Even when the depiction of Malaysian is 100% wrong in that movie, I thought it best to show him what Malaysia should be without the pretense of modernity and progress.

The film showed how Malaysia's progress (the Twin Towers) is surrounded by muddied land and teh tarik like rivers. The muddied land is where the Government of Malaysia is making the people stand. Slipping and sliding. And the teh tarik like rivers are where the extremists are, pulling the rest of the country down with them.

To sum it up, we need a steady government who can manage all these issues and deal with the extremist. I am not a politician but even I can see what needs to be done.

So dearest Tun, if you are ever given the chance to help Najib in any advisory level - please help him.

Assalamualaikum Tun and everyone

I, and many others too, really understand your intents and the benefits of the said policy, i.e. to grab the future civilizations with no delays, but still there are a lot of people who our wise forefathers had saith "...PANDAI TAK BOLEH DIIKUT, BODOH TAK BOLEH DIAJAR.." what to do my dear Tun.

Fairuz Bin Kamarulzaman

Dear Tun,

If you leave it to the extremist armageddon would follow. But not many people want to stand up and be counted.

Dear Tun,

You wrote:
"5. Today we are grappling with the problem of education. We have three streams and woe betide anyone who suggests that we should not have them. We talk of liberal society, of free speech, but if you express some commonsensical views you would be labelled racist."

Having Malaysian children study together throughout their academic careers would go a long way towards National integration. However, we need to provide them with a conducive learning environment that celebrates & builds their unity & strength in diversity, free from indoctrination & intolerance.

If any change process is to succeed, it requires engagement & alignment of stakeholders. Ignoring this principle will naturally cause resentment & defensiveness.

It is not the single stream per se that puts off many people, but the bundling of it with an attempt to institutionalize intolerance against so-called "foreign" cultures & languages of our fellow Malaysians. Proposing that these be ghettoized, i.e. set apart & isolated from national life, with the aim of eventually "eradicating" them from Malaysia, is hardly the way to begin a succesful effort at integration, and neither is it in any way necessary for true integration.

The originators of "Satu Sekolah Untuk Semua" are pushing assimilation under the guise of integration. They should reflect on these words from your interview with Utusan Malaysia on 7th August 1996:

"Zaman berubah. Kalau dahulu tumpuan ialah kita kepada asimilasi. Di mana-mana negara juga tidak ada lagi usaha untuk 'asimilasi', bahkan di Amerika Syarikat mereka sering bercakap berkenaan dengan 'roots' asal-usul mereka. Jadi kalau kita sudah terima bahawa itu tidak mungkin, kita perlu cari jalan lain untuk merapatkan perhubungan antara kaum ini. Seperti kata De Bono, Lateral Thinking, kalau kita tidak boleh merentas satu jalan maka kita pergi ke jalan lain untuk sampai ke matlamat yang sama."

I wish you & your family good health & happiness,

Sincerely,
Malaysian Heart

hehehe...may be the government need to go back to basic steps of transformation process. There is a way to deal with those extremists.

Salam tun semoga sihat sekeluarga,

Saya sentiasa setuju pandangan tun mau cakap camana.... kita dah jadi orang MELAYU. Melayu ni layu tak cepat bangun dari segi apa hal. Mau maju ke depan tak mau takut konon hilang identiti. Orang kita , kita orang kata siAmpal seorang penyanyi dari Sabah. KIta ni tak suka orang kita di atas tapi kalau kita orang dibawah kita tak bole buat apa-apa. Kalau kita orang di bawah kalau kita mau tunjuk keberanian kita kena jadi JI. Kena tangkap. Kalau pula kita orang di atas kita jadi berani sehingga kita bole jadi tiga kumpulan.
Apabila kita jadi 3 kumpulan kita sokong hapuskan ISA . Orang lain jadi satu kita jadi tiga. Patut lah kita beiya-ya mau hapus ISA. Sebab kita kena jadi ikut-ikutan. Apabila orang lain jadi 1 mereka minta kerajaan supaya membenarkan CHIN PENG pulang ke MALAYsia. Kalau chin peng sudah pulang ISA pula sudah di hapuskan. Naahhhhhhh
baru lah kita tau betapa seronok nya kita orang di bawah.
Pada 20 jun 1998 di London, CHIN PENG berkata perjuangan PKM yang dpimpinnya gagal kerana tidak mendapat sokongan orang MELAYU.
Orang kita ni sebenarnya hebat kalau kita jadi 1 PKM yang dipimpin chin peng pun ngakuinya. TETAPI..............
Hari ini CHIN PENG dengar kita orang sudah jadi 3 dia pun terus ambil kesempatan mau pulang ke MALAYSIA YANG TERCINTA.

THE END

Truely I must and admit this , those people who is opposing this and that of policies which will benefit the rakyat are not required here in the society.

They did not know the freedom in the religion mainly and will be lost. Just look at Perak State. 2 CM but no direction and policies. They are intrested in their Power Struggle of thier own intrest. Even a so called Dr. and Ir. could not think as norm. Just try to imagine if you are treated like dogs in your own house. We have and will loose peacefullness if the extremist are let roaming around without controlling.

Salam Tun,
You have been very very frank and open in each and every topic written and I wonder whether any of your adversaries dare to read them and even comment them further.I believe you've put to shame most of the "renowned" bloggers with your wide range of topics which requires a well learned man as you are,and where mere mortals don't dare tread.I salute you from the bottom of my heart dear Tun !
And today you came up with another eye-opening entry which I hope will as usual be widely debated especially for the betterment of our society in general.Keep up the good job Tun !

From CNN and pretty much the whole of the western world, these people get the names 'extremists'.

From the Arabs, and from what I learn in Pend. Islam in school, these people get the name 'munafiq'.

The problem is not new. Yet we are still being haunted by it.

Why o why?

Ini semua datang dari Pak Lah.

Mana Pak Lah sekarang?

Pak Lah sepatutnya didakwa dan dihadapkan ke mahkamah sebab menghancurkan Malaysia dalam masa lima tahun ni,tapi apsal takde berita langsung.

Najib terpaksa mewarisi Malaysia dari seorang yang takde tanggungjawab langsung.

Kat mana Pak Lah sekarang?

Semua kucar-kacir kat Malaysia ini datang dari orang tua tu.

La ni,Pembangkang tak kisah pasal Pak Lah,kaki-kaki ampu Pak Lah dalam kerajaan pun bisu pasal Pak Lah,rakyat Malaysia pun dah tak kisah langsung pasal jasa Pak Lah,itu pun kalau ada.

Sekarang ni,pikirlah macam mana sekalipun,semuanya dah terlambat.

Kalaulah Malaysia ini diteruskan dengan cara Mahathir dulu mesti semuanya selamat.Kalaulah..

Tun
i think most people with global outlook want English as the lingua franca of schools and education simply because we all do not want to left behind by research, materials availble, ability to compete etc etc. Science & Maths being conducted in english in fact is a compramise and laudable that you are appealing to the good instincts of people who want to take the country backwards after 30 over years of policy of nationalisation of education and usage of national language
but wait a minute. who was education minister in tun razak's cabinet and later dpm and pm who brought supported and ensured the high prelevance of malay lang so much so , to the point teachers who are supposed to be good at learning something new and impart it , cannot now do it......

So you lay the seeds in the name of nationalisation and garner the vote bank , now want to reverse it and appear statesmanly
Well better late then never. I hope you taubat everyday in prayers and i will pray for you...

Dearest Tun,

How I wish all Malaysia's leadership has a like mind as yours.

Like the proposed hunger strike in protest of the Perak constitutional outcome; we don't like the decision so we strike until we get what we want. If we 'acquiesce' to them now then the next Tom, Dick & Harry in line will be claiming aggrieved status and will go on a hunger strike. Well I say go ahead and starve yourself to death! Malaysia will be a better place without you.

Then there is the Chin Peng issue. In honour of the fallen heroes of the insurgency, how dare you the DAP even consider allowing that father of all terrorist back into the country on which he has caused so much hardship. Give me a sidearm & I will gladly shoot him myself. Clemency, my foot!

Salam Tun,

The question of extremists started from school.We should not have with various languages streams. We must have only one type of school and let people of various races study only one type of school although it will be very difficult to begin with initially.Subjects like civic and local history must be tough since std one.With this system of education we are able to reduce, at least racial extremists. Besides law against extremists must be strictly implemented regardless of social or political position.There must be no mercy on them.Immediate arrest and charge must be done.Not a slight gap should be given.Just don't care what the world say. Then we can have peaceful leaving.

NASH

awesome article tun (as awesome as joe satriani's fourth album ahaa)

Tun,

Seems like you are back at your best with your poems with "makna tersirat" ;)

Anyway, I am not a fan of English being used as the medium of teaching in Science and Maths as long as BM is still being used for the rest. It's just make no sense for the students, at one lesson they have to communicate in English and the next class he has to start cakap Bahasa Melayu ;)

But looking at how it is being dragged now, I am a big fan of settling this issue quick! Whether the decision is in English or not, let's move on!! Not good for the students. Not good for the publisher. Not good to the Nation where we are still grumbling on the fact of what happened in Perak!!!

WONG.

Dear Tun

You've hit the nail on the head, as usual! I don't understand how these extremists can equate being nationalistic with the use of language - my nephew is studying biomedical engineering in an American university. He is in his 2nd year and struggling to keep up with his peers simply because he was taught Science and Math in Bahasa. We had to ship his Science books (which were in Malay) to him and he needs them to translate what is now being taught to him if there is something he doesn't understand from the basic level because of the different English terminology in his science subjects. It is painful to see him struggle and this is in spite of his being a 9A student in his SPM examinations! These people that insist on using Bahasa as the medium of instruction have no idea what they are talking about or the difficulties faced by students when they go overseas to study but if this was voiced, naturally, they would say we should send our children to local universities. There's just no winning with them....

"It is a miracle that this multi-racial country has remained stable and peaceful for so long. If the extremists can have their way we would all be at each others' throats. We would be demonstrating in the streets and at the airports. If we do not accede to the wishes of the extremists then we cannot even make a living, there will be no investments and no jobs for the workers." Dr. Mahathir.

It's not a miracle because the majority of M'sians of all races are reasonable, peace loving people. That's why we have had a relatively untroubled nation for 50 years.

The Constitution allows for legitimate, peaceful dissent and the expression of it also through free speech and peaceful public gatherings. But successive BN PM's and Ministers have misused the ISA, OSA, PPPA etc to stifle protest at misgovernment and to cover up financial and other misdeeds, claiming that they acted 'in the national interest' or 'for security reasons'.

You continue to claim that the arrest of 106 M'sians under Ops lallng and ISA in 1987 was justified; but until today not a single person has been charged in court! Many of you political opponents like Lim Kit Siang and Karpal Singh were imprisoned for 2 years with no recourse to the Courts.

So, who was the extremist? You or your opponents?

As to those who disagree with the current school & education system, Ketuanan Melayu and Social Contract issues etc, I do not regard them as EXTREMISTS. It is good that these issues are being discussed openly in blogs, newspapers and radio/tv. The more open discussions we have, the better we will understand each other and be able to formulate good and fair policies that will benefit the most number of M'sians as possible.

I think it is a sign of your age and generation that you still think of a top down, 'Big Brother knows best' and 'behind closed doors' approach to solving problems of national concern.

You sir, are a dinosaur, and a sour one at that!

But make no mistake; I am not asking you to shut up, just open up to what Democracy and free speech really means. It's not only you who has a viewpoint to express publicly.

Salam Tun, may Allah bless you always

I recently read about the conference organised in London by the chairman/president of "parti yang di haramkan" in Malaysia. This guy lives in UK and appears to be the mastermind of what happening in Malaysia nowaday.

He confused people with his own confused mind. I feel sad that he mixed up isolated cases with race and religion (just like Malay and Islam). obviously he has bad intention and take opportunity of the weak government of Malaysia.

My opinion is, the Leaders of Malaysia should be firm and be able to justify wisely each and every actions they make.

Let us take an example (just an example ok):

The government has proposed introducing a mechanism to limit the speed of express and stage buses to 90km per hour in a move to ensure passenger safety.

In addition, no harm to inform public that this is something Govt will put in place for 1 year (or a period of time) to study if it will improve the situation. Of course, if it works after the given period of time - no reason why Govt should not continue. If it doesn't, ask why? and how can we improve.

My point is, there are lots of actions not made known to public in orderly manner. Very less awareness and effective educational program to ensure the success of those proposed actions.

I hope to see more pragmatic approaches, in line, with "rakyat first" theme.

Ybhg Tun

This type of people exist everywhere and are such types that will go all out to have thier ways.I,m one of those All out supporting Ybh Tun on matters such as this being raised. Will not be involved with such extremist whom are shortsighted and has no vision except for their personnel gains.

Anarchy seems to be the preferred lifestyle nowadays. Yes, anarchy and lack of respect for law and order. Tun's article suggested this attitude in the political circle - but in daily life this is also frighteningly spreading fast.

Almost all of us, I'm sure, has seen too many cases of motorists ignoring red traffic lights. Motorcyclists are common menace - but even car drivers are doing it too. Maybe the reader also has done that - 'there are no cars what... why wait'. Mostly they get away unharmed - but there are many times when innocent motorists and pedestrians got killed or seriously hurt by these law-breakers.

There's no magic formula. But I believe that all we need is simply a strong leadership. A leadership that can be counted on to make us feel safe and secure of the future. That hard working citizens will not be over-run by selfish extremists with dubious agenda. That's not too much to ask for, right?

Salam buat Tun berdua moga dirahmati Allah s.w.t.

1.Golongan "PELAMPAU" selalunya merujuk kepada mereka yang bersifat keterlaluan dalam segala tindak -tanduk mereka.Tidak kira apa bidang mereka lakukan samaada pekerjaan,fahaman,sikap,pertuturan,hubungan,amalan keagamaan,jiwa raga dan yang sebagainya..

2.Sudah lumrah dalam kehidupan ini kerana kita sebagai makhluk Allah s.w.t telah diciptakan mempunyai nafsu serta naluri yang dikawal oleh akal serta dapat dirasai melalui hati serta tercerna melalui anggota panca-indera kita.

3.Bagi saya kebenaran atas sifat "Pelampau" ini boleh diterima jika perbuatannya boleh membawa akibat atas tindakan itu.Contohnya 'demontrasi jalanan'.Kita semua tahu apa kesan bila ramai-ramai berhimpun ditengah jalan raya..adakah tindakan ini membolehkan seseorang memerintah? sudah tentu tidak..cara yang betul adalah melalui peti undi.Jadi tindakan itu sudah menjadi terlampau.

4.Oleh itu ungkapan "Pelampau" mesti disusuli dengan tindakan yang tidak baik.Pada masa sekarang ungkapan "Pelampau" selalu dikait dengan pengamal agama serta ahli politik.Sebab isu ini besar dan melibatkan fahaman agama,kaum,budaya,bangsa dan negara.

5.Sifat "PELAMPAU" ini juga ada pro dan kontranya contohnya menjadi kesalahan seseorang yang suka menjatuhkan hukum-hukum hak Allah s.w.t seperti hukum sah sembahyang..Islam tak Islam masa di dunia ini.Kerana ditakuti akan memecah belahkan umat.

6.Untuk pendakwah fikir-fikirlah Islam lahir pada zaman jahiliah waktu penuh berhala-berhala disembah.. adakah kafir mereka yang mengucap dari mereka yang menyembah berhala sekarang?

7.Untuk pemimpin yang masih tidak mengharamkan riba,arak,judi dari bumi Malaysia dan rakyat Malaysia...dan hukum-hukum sebenar Al-Quran dilaksanakan maka kita akan sentiasa BERGOLAK!!! kerana Allah s.w.t sentiasa menyeru kepada semua umat Melayu,India,Cina serta semua bangsa yang berada di dunia ini...

8.Wallahua'lam.

Dear Tun..,

Why Shamsiah Fakeh, Abdullah CD and other Malay of PKM can go back to Malaysia but for Chin Peng cannot. Is that he Chinese. This is the issue. Further more PKM is not our target anymore. And for the youngster we cannot stop their opinion of the PKM cause nowaday many blog that can be reach and know the true history. Truly the history written by the winner (umno)

Kecacatan kekal berlaku dalam persediaan PPSMI di samping sentimen kaum lain yang juga tidak mahu PPSMI. Sebab itu mereka berdiam diri dalam isu ini dan membiarkan pejuang bangsa ke depan. Sains & maths masih lagi diajar dalam bahasa ibunda mereka & tiadapun kem pelajaran mengambil peduli. Kalau macam ni ajarlah sains & maths dalam bahasa Perancis, Jerman & Jepun supaya pelajar fasih berbahasa tersebut dan boleh mengambil ilmu dari bangsa tersebut yang terkenal dengan teknologi dan ego tidak mahu guna bahasa lain.

Salam Buat Tun.

1. Yes. It happens that I am one of those who is in the Silent Majority group.
2. But please don't underestimate the power lies within. Those so called "extremist" must not undermine our capabilities.
3. Whoever and whatever school of believes your are in, please bear in mind that we love our country and is willing to defend it in whatever manner in time to come.
4. We may be in "silent" mode but we keep our eyes and ears wide open.
5. This is solely my personal opinion which I believe is shared and understood among us who really love our country.

Salam.
Athoy

Dearest Tun,

Memang betoi.

My answer is:

1 Malaysia and 1 school system - using BM & English + optional language classes (Mandarin/Tamil/English .. and may be another like Arabic)

No more Indian schools and Chinese schools. Not because I am racist but quite the opposite. This way we have less racist community moving forward. All of our kids can have good multiracial chilhood friends.

Salam Ayahnda Tun..

Pening memikirkan masalah yang diwar-warkan mengenai bahasa inggeris yang digunakan khas untuk Matapelajaran Science dan Mathematics.Apalah salahnya menggunakan dengan bahasa ini..bukankah semua rujukan pelajaran ini adalah didalam bahasa inggeris..banyak buku-buku pelajaran ini masih belum mampu ditukar kepada bahasa Malaysia..DUlu bahasa Inggeris telah digunakan kepada mata pelajaran ini..tak ada hal pun..Orang melayu mampu untuk menguasai mata pelajaran ini..

Saya bangga dengan pelajar-pelajar di Mesir.,mereka mempunyai kemampuan menguasai lebih 3 bahasa..mereka fasih dan berjaya bekerja dimana-mana pun diseluruh dunia..

Kepada Ibubapa..fikirlah masa depan anak-anak,bahasa inggeris telah menakluki dunia..terima saja lah kenyataan didunia ini..

"Janganlah jadi katak dibawah tempurung lagi"

Dear my beloved Tun,
I do not understand after over 50 years of Independence and we still and constantly have to confront each other on racial issues.Actually most Malaysians do not have much problem in living with each other but I feel that the politicians and of course the extremist are the one to be blamed for such racial issues.

I am a Malay born just before Independence and my wife is Chinese born just after Independence.I have an Indian brother-in-law whom married to my sister.All our family members and family of prorecreation are consider close. Any functions like weddings amongst the family ,be it my Malay family,my wife's Chinese family or my in-law Indian family,most of us will look forward to attend and especially during Festive seasons. It is so enjoyable and I feel blessed for having such a true Malaysian culture of the 3 main ethnic group in Malaysia.

We should not surrender to these extremist.We should revoke their citizenship ,put them under ISA or chase them out and send them to Timbuktu or to any country that they think is better than Malaysia.
We do not need these kind of people in Malaysia.

I just hope that DS Najib will be firm when dealing with these extremist.

This is one posting that I cannot help but agree 100% with Tun.

Salam hormat Tun Mahathir

Memang benar pelampau2 di Malaysia sejak kebelakangan ini sangat maharajarela tanpa memikarkan mereka ada kaum yang minority.Kalau bangsa ini bersatu golongang ini akan lama2 akan menghilang kerana tidak ada tanggapan dari kaum majority.Jangan lah bangsa ini terperangkap dengan janji2 mereka.Parti PKR dengan alasan menuduh BN macam2 pada hal pemimpinnya sendiri pernah menjadi ahli terkuat di UMNO.Oleh karana sangat mahu balas dendam dan ingin menjadi PM sanggup menjual bansa,agama dan negaranya.Pelampau2 ini semua tidak inginkan 1Malaysia karna soal pendidikan supaya hanya satu aliran saja sekolah kebangsaan Bahasa Malaysia dan hapuskan sekolah jenis kebangsaan India dan cina tidak pernah di sentuh.Selagi sekolah2 ini semua wujud selagi itu susah rakyak Malaysia bisa bersatu.Pelampau2 ini semua pura2 tidak mahu yang hanya di Malayisia bangsa India dan cina mempuyai kebebasan total dalam bidang pendidikan baik bahasa India atau Cina.

Ternyata apa yang terjadi di Perak hampir semua yang tunjuk perasaan dari pati DAP padahal bekas menteri besar ahli parti PAS. Saya tidak paham pendirian Pari Pas dengan anggota nya muslim semua.Dan Islam tidak pernah ijinkan mengunna ibah puasa untuk rebut kembali kuasa atau kepentingan dunia..Sampai saat ini belum saya lihat atau tahu seorang muslim menyalahkan guna ibah puasa untuk rebut kuasa.Menurut saya ibadah puasa ada lah antara kita dengan Allah.Saya mohon anggota Pas di Perak jangan ikut peminpin2 PAS membuta. Kalau Raja sudah bertitah megapa rakyat harus menentang kalau menetang itu di namakan rakyat durhaka dan harus di hukum atau di buang negeri. Menurut saya Anwar Ibrahim dan Pari Pas di peralatkan oleh pari DAP dengan agenda mereka yang tersembunyi.

There is a wrong logic from your reasoning.

Those who go against the use of English as the medium for instruction and for learning Science and Mathematics may not necessarily be an extremist. Likewise, those, like you, who are in favour of teaching Science and Mathematics in English may not necessarily be an extremist.

The Malay and Chinese educationists went against using English as a medium of instruction for Science and Mathematics in schools because they found that mother tongue would be a much more effective medium than any other languages. They could not be rated as "extremists" simply because they were not in favour of English as a medium of instruction in schools based on reasons of students' performance and learning efficiency!

SALAM BAHAGIA TUN, CAKAP TENTANG EXTREMIST YANG INI LAGI EXTREMIST

Anything that is likely to offend the BN Warlords is an offence.
Fasting could be an offence.
Wearing black could be an offence.
Lighting candles could be an offence.
Baking birthday cakes could be an offence.
Lawyers seeing their client could be an offence.
Putting up campaign materials in an election could be an offence.

Deleting immigration records is not an offence.
Physical obstructing MP in parliamentary ground is not an offence.
Having detainees beaten to death while in their custody is not an offence.
Spending public money for family visits and Disneyland fun is not an offence.
Engaging in corrupt money politics is not an offence.

This is 1 Terbalik Country.

SEMOGA TUN DAPAT PERTAHANKAN NEGARA TERCINTA INI, HARAP HARAP SALAH LAKU KUASA OLEH PEMERINTAH SEKARANG DAPAT DIATASI, LONG LIVE TUN! LONG LIVE TUN!

Dear Tun and fellow readers,

I am appalled with the way this country is going. For a while there I thought there was finally some direction but Najib appears to be losing his track and appears to be bowing to threats and pandering to the recently ousted PM.
There cannot be One Malaysia without one standardised school. I am sick of having grandparents and parents translating for me when I speak to their children as a doctor. What hope have we when the young do not integrate? What point is there when in the name of one Malaysia when everything is liberalised and equalised, as it should, don't get me wrong, but the people do not share the same language, values, love for the nation and his/her neighbours?

Please, sir can you or anyone in this forum enlighten me on this?

Regards.

Tun,

Saya masih tak faham sikap Tun yang masih mempertahankan PPSMI kali ini atas alasan EXTRIMIST pulak. Hasil2 kajian termasuk anak anak Malaysia sedang yang sedang bergelut dengan idea karut Tun tak pernah Tun pedulikan. PPSMI tak ada kena mengena dengan extrimist sebaliknya kesannya selepas 6 tahun :-

1. Lapuran TIMMS 2007 menunjukkan kejatuhan mendadak Malaysia - semuanya kerana PPSMI

2. Tahap pemahaman Sains dikalangan pelajar merosot

3. Pelajar luar bandar tak tahu apa yang mereka belajar disekolah

4. PPSMI untuk golongan yang cakap Inggeris dirumah (half-malay)

4. 20 tahun lagi Malaysia akan jadi mundur kerana tidak faham sains dan matematik dan.......... BANYAK LAGI

Tun datanglah jenguk sekolah sekolah.....apa dah jadi dan cubalah luangkan satu jam untuk mengajar di kampung.....semakin lama semakin ramai yang memaki Tun. orang yang menyanjung Tun dulu pun kini mula memaki bila anak anak mereka tak tahu apa yang di ajarkan. Agaknya Tun mahu kemabali kezaman Tun yang mana hanya segelintir saya anak melayu yang faham sains dan matematik itu pun dengan gred yang rendah.

Sudah lah Tun, tak payah ditegakkan benang yang basah. Terima lah penadapat orang lain....tak payah berpatah balik kebelakang.

Kepada Menteri Pelajaran buatlah keputusan ikut akal...tak payah terikut ikut dengan rentak Tun....zaman dah berubah.....

Tun,

There are people who are not able to handle their own personal problems and thus as a way out criticize or condemn anything that is not to their advantage!! The crux of the matter is personal interest above all else. They do not care what happens to the economy, country, families etc. To them the "I" factor tops the list. These characters prevail in every society.

These "selfish" characters thrive on their own ideology and believe whatever they think or do is the best and should be sanctioned by others. There is no way their activities could be curbed but at the same time nothing much that could be done taking into consideration the advent of ICT that has made the alternative media easily accessible and information more easily available thereby the younger generation (some of them) could be easily "swayed" by the writings or ideologies of the said extremists!!

What will happen 50 years from now is very hard for us to forecast. We can only pray for the best!!

Good health Tun,

There are many extremist around. Why not label them and provide justifications.

Why not proposed legislation to ban all forms of inflammatory slogans that are false and have a high-powered counsel consisting of luminaries from all races to determine if they are such.

Let all punishment be severe but justly administered. As it is Indians and Chinese and other minority races always see a bias against them.

If you want to be long respected as one of the ablest PM of Malaysia please place all races on equal footing and treat them justly.

Malays have enjoyed special rights for too long and have developed a crutch mentality. The disparity between the rich Malays and the common folks are too great.

One area you could be of great service to this nation is for you to make sure the civil service is truly serving the people. As it is it appears most are given jobs that do nothing and even creates obstacles for going good for the people. The police force is one. Even if you increase the strength by 100% the same crime rate would be around.

Please do not get embroil any further in BN-PR fight, save your goodwill to work for common good of all races.

This is not meant to be a sycopantic message, but truly from my heart for I still have deep admiration for you and what you had done before.

Masing

Assalamualaikum Ayahanda Tun.
My English is not as good as some of my brothers. In fact when I left for America then I was stuck in a small community college in the West Coast (Citrus College) and was given 6 weeks by the MSD (out of compassionate ground) to improve my English fluency or I am on the next plane home. It was one of the hardest moments in my life. I cannot return home as a failure. My mother at the time was still raising my 5 other siblings’ single handedly doing odd jobs such as sweeper at the KL Merlin Hotel and even selling duck eggs that we rear in our Gombak squatter home settlement. Being alone and new in a foreign land with limited English, I completely jammed up. I cant even fill out my Uni enrolment forms and classes options. My counselor shaked their heads and contacted the MSD. But I cannot fail. And syukur alhamdullilah I made many life long friends and they helped me overcame that obstacle out of their kindness and compassion. In four weeks, I was an English speaker. My measure of accomplishment set by my brother Kamal was that I could crack a joke in public and get total strangers to understand at the joke and laugh at the joke. Not at my stuttering. And I did. Soon enough I made a place there. I am forever indebted. I was an MRSM student before that. But my command of English was poor to say the best. Never could speak more than a few lines without sputtering. In Standard 5, I did not even know how to pronounce “all”. When that happens in class then, I would remain standing holding to my book trying hard to keep it together while some chuckle and throw crumpled paper balls at me and then went on to enjoy the 5/10 minutes silence as the teacher too would mark her books undisturbed. Then she would ask me to sit down and let others continue. Tell me, how many of us reading this went through the same? I learned nothing that way. I was a straight A student most of the time but I could never put my English together. Tun, if you remember still – it was the over glorified Bahasa Baku session at that time – that was the crux to the whole issue. I don’t know how I did it with the JPA scholarship interview board when I finally got the offer to study in the US during my 1st year Matriculation. I hesitated to go, but my mother’s jubilation put me there. In America, I was totally 99% jammed in the first few weeks there. I was nearly listed as “a breakdown”. I cannot speak to others except Malaysians. I wanted to crawl and hide somewhere. I was intimidated by my surroundings. But true as my mother had said, we are poor people, put your faith in God. Today my children speak fluent English Tun. They read road signs, instructions; they chatted confidently and effortlessly online with their far away cousins and traded emails in perfect English. No “sangkut-sangkut”. And in their recent exam they scored above 94/100 for their Bahasa Melayu – they have never lost anything in reaching out for other things in life. In fact they teach their distant cousins on Bahasa Melayu via the internet (home work and BM lessons here they share with them – even test papers and gradings with some sporting BM teachers at their school). Even though they get above 96/100 for their English, proudly, when they sleep and “meracau” – they do it in Bahasa Melayu – putting a quiet smile on their old man face. The government must believe that yes - “we can get ahead without selling our souls”. Malaysian school children today, they take to English just like “duck taking to water”. This is your far sighted vision and policy Tun. I went through 6 weeks frightened out of my wits then just to learn English at 20, today my children even helps me out with some of my business paper works. Believe me Tun, they do. They know what “contemplate” means. Imagine that Tun. We don’t send them for English tuition, other subject yes. We just let the school syllabus and some inputs from me and my wife does that job. Our school syllabus English speaking program and teaching has been excellent (but more fine tuning still needed). Hang on to the past. Don’t forget the past. But there is no reason for us not to find strength in today and tomorrow for the future of us. I have never forgotten my past nor have I ever neglected on my future. No U turn into the past for the sake of our tomorrows. You never stand alone Tun. Today I look back and share this entire journey in English with you Tun. Not perfect English, but I can still crack a Benny Hill joke anytime for dear life :) The policy need fine-tuning for maximum result. Not a U-turn for an inverted result. That would be very bad policy. You never stand alone Tun. We are the silent, learned - observing majority. Continue the PPSMI. Teach our children in English. The world is their oyster and they are our treasured pearls into tomorrow. Thank you Tun.

Tun harap lepas ni dapat komen mengenai komunisme dalam pandangan Tun. Sebab saya ada baca blog mengenai komunis yang dianggap wira negara dan menyampahkan UMNO. saya hidup dalam zaman yang sudah membangun tak nampak apa yang berlaku pada waktu dahulu.

Saya buta sejarah. mereka menyalahkan buku sejarah yang dibaca telah dipolitikkan. mereka yang hidup pada zaman saya masih berada di garisan pertengahan. Apa yang tahu komunis ini adalah kejam dan dahsyat kepada datuk dan nenek moyang. Selaku negarawan yang sayang kepada negara saya harap Tun dapat komen mengenai komunis dan Chin Peng ini.

Tun,
You have expressed some commonsense/rational views on education. Extremists and linguistic fanatics who have no consideration for the future of our children seem to hold the country to ransom. It is said language is an asset. English is the lingua franca of the modern world. In this era of globalization when you need to have a competitive edge in every thing in order to make it a "level playing field", should our children be handicapped by language on account of some extremist elements in our midst? The government should not do something which is politically expedient to do; instead it should look at things from a broad perspective, think of the future of our children, grand children and posterity and do the right thing. Let's hope good sense and common sense(an uncommon commodity these days!)would prevail.
ABI

yes, country like malaysia with multi racial with different religion/ language/ culture/ with their own unique living stlye,
and yet to living togother, which some may is your neighbour, we should respect each other.

what is the something in common between us ?
none.
but i believe all malaysian will expected a harmony & peaceful home.

what is the problem if mathematiic & sceince teaching in english ??
which the next generation will totally forget the mother language ??

for long run, it will benefit the new generation, where they can pick up the knowlwdge faster and can compete with other country.

if we don't change now, what we will expected, in another 10 years, 20 years, malaysia currently standard will maintain, and we will far away for others. to be strong, we have to change..

The best habit I've ever heard of.

Salaam to our beloved Tun and family,

Here is a website that describes the actual UN speech of President Ahmedinejad of IRAN last month, which was sabotaged by (Zionist)Jews and their puppets.

Other articles in that website are excellent eye-openers.

Assalamualaikum Tun Dr Mahathir,

English is the best for us at the moment.
Hope we get on the right track.
Please! save my kids future.
Give them the key.

Salam Tun and fellow friends,

I am actually greatly disappointed with these extremists. These people do not honour peace and unity and are just wasting time. Instead of helping to take our country to a greater height, we are forced to be busy with all these nonsenses. Here is where I see the need to discipline them, may be to the extent of using ISA as the last resort.

Majority of the people love and happy with what Malaysia has achieved thus far. Off course, there are weaknesses here and there, but let handle them constructively. Please seek first to understand!

Assalam wbt.

Kita tergolong dlm kelompok ekstrimis jika kita bersungguh2 mempertahankan perjuangan kita...kita sanggup mengorbankan apa sahaja dalam mempertahankan fahaman kita.Ini sesuatu yg baik. Masyarakat selalu mempersoalkan dan membicarakan tentang individu2 yg ekstrimis ttp kita terlupa untuk menyelidiki dan memikirkan ttg 'fahaman yg ekstrimis'. Setiap individu digalakkan untuk ekstrim ( bersungguh2 ) dlm apa yg dilakukan atau diceburi....ini juga tuntutan agama islam ttp yg tidak digalakkan adalah 'fahaman2 yg ekstrim'.....pemantauan dan siasatan terperinci harus dilakukan dalam mengklasifikasikan mana satu fahaman ekstrim positif dan mana satu fahaman ekstrim negatif.....ambil yg baik dan buang yg buruk.

Wassalam.

Dear Tun

These extremists are too much with many forms of protest ie:
they go to the streets and disturb the peace and wearing of black clothes many more.

Can we imagine should foreign investors pull out their investment
and take away all their money a sucessfull country like malaysia
will go down the drain.

The majority of the malaysian do not support these extremists
and the goverment must come down hard on them.

You are a great leader take care Tun

The extremists know that they can get away with what they are doing because the politicians dare not confront the issues, for fear of loss of popularity.
The teaching of English is a case in point where no one dare to make a stand for fear of being laelled 'anti bahasa melayu'.

Dear Tun Dr M,

The terrorists not only terrorise their enemies but also terrorise their own people. They demand financial contributions and their young to become new recruits. They threaten to harm if their demands are not met.

Because of these minority terrorists, a lot of life, wealth and livelyhood has gone to waste.

I have sent the following article which is related to this topic.

SUICIDE HEROES OR DEMONS?

Suicide terrorists are those who convert themselves into the ammunitions and target a specific individual or a crowd. This would mean, whether the targeted get killed or not the suicide terrorists are almost certain to get killed.

Sometimes the casualty in the targeted crowd is big and sometimes it is very few. Lately we come across there are female suicide terrorists launching attack on places of worship and killing more than 40 worshippers. Very recently a motorist, also a suicide terrorist, drove his car knocking down innocent bystanders with the intention to knock into the open to top bus which was used by the entourage of Dutch Queen.

The suicide terrorists are now bold enough to go across the border, right into the heart of neighboring country, to launch their assault. The worst suicide attack thus far, ever recorded in history, was the September 11 attack. In that episode 3 domestic airplanes were used as missiles by the suicide terrorists to hit three different targets. The victims of this mission were not only the passengers of the 3 airplanes but also the occupants of the World Trade Centre 1 & 2 and the Pentagon. This particular disaster had drastically changed the security and safety measures in airports and airplanes.

The suicide attack, on theory, is supposed to be the result of extreme hatred, frustration, reprisal and revenge. However, what seem to happen is quite different. The suicide terrorist seems to be another division of a particular force of freedom fighters or of a de facto government. If the attacks are carried on the enforcement forces could be accepted. However, today the attacks are carried out in places of worship, weddings, parades and others.

This means the victims are normally innocent public there is no excuse for this.
The suicide terrorists seem not to have value for life and for sentiments of human being. Worse still, they do not value their own life. Imagine giving one’s live just to kill 2 or 3 other lives. Are their lives only worth that much. It understood that those who are recruited as suicide terrorists are brainwashed and deceived and eventually willingly accept the mission. This is akin the coach’s motivation to the boxers during the break of each round.

If we look at reasons for such attacks, the common reasons are ethnic, religious, tribal, caste, political ideologies and social status. If we really ponder into the reasons we can notice that the problems could be solved by negotiations or strict enforcements. However, it was not practiced as the United Nation is weak and not independent as it is supposed to be.

The only way out is that the affected nations and people should be mediated by the parties they trust most. However, some countries which are obvious choices to be mediators prefer not to get involved in fear of their ties with certain superpowers.

Assalamualaikum w.b.t

Kepada Tun,

Saya berasa amat bersetuju jika sekiranya PPSMI dihapuskan dan digantikan dengan pengajaran dan pengukuhan pengunaan Bahasa Melayu sepenuhnya. Aliran sekolah juga perlulah dijadikan kepada satu aliran sahaja bagi mengelakkan syak wasangka dan ketidak perpaduan. Sebenarnya adalah amat memalukan jika sekiranya kaum bukan bumiputera menuntut hak kesamarataan sedangkan mereka sendiri tidak memberi @ berkongsi kekayaan dan penguasaan ekonomi kepada kaum bumiputera. sepatutnya konsep Satu Malaysia yang diperjuangkan oleh Perdana Menteri sekarang perlu diperteguhkan dan diperkukuhkan dengan mengadakan hanya ada satu aliran sekolah sahaja bagi meningkatkan perpaduan dikalangan rakyat Malaysia.

Satu saja yang saya inginkan untuk Tun memberikan komen mengenai pendapat sesetengah pihak untuk membawa pulang Chin Peng ke
Malaysia.

Salam Tun Sekeluarga,

Saya rasa negara kita tidak sesuai dengan gejala ini. Nenek moyang kita berjuang untuk dapatkan kemerdekaan setelah dijajah 446 tahun. Oleh itu bersama - sama kita pertahan kerukunan negara kita daripada berlakunya aktiviti yang tidak menyihatkan ini. Perlembagaan negara kita telah menjelaskan segalanya. Saya harap kejadian salah seorang perusuh di Terengganu Darul Iman yang sanggup membakar bendera Malaysia tidak akan berulang lagi.
Saya menyeru kepada semua, semoga kita terus mempertahankan warisan, maruah bangsa perpaduan di Bumi Malaysia ini. Jangan lah hanya kepentingan diri, kita sekali lagi terpaksa mengulangi SEJARAH.

Salam..PEACE MALAYSIA

dear Tun,
im not really interested in politics but i think today politician's job is getting harder and harder each day compare to those days.today,we can see verbal as well as physical fights during the recent Perak state assembly.many have question whether the police have the right to take over the state assmble?we cant see these type of politics during the era of Tun.i have no idea of what is going to happen next.but i only hope we as the citizen of Malaysia can live here with peace and harmony.till then,take good care of your self and your family...

best regards,
marcus..

Well said, Tun.

Tun,

Never back down from what we have started. We always behind you supporting from every side of you. I always do.

Hazman Abu Bakar

What evil extreme agenda are you all talking about. Mos of us are demanding justice and good government free from corruption and dirty practice.

Looks at the ridiculous court of appeal decision for Perak.

Now look at Peananti, SPR has indicated if PKR wins it use the so call proof by Amina to disqualify the winner. Why doesn't SPR make a decision about Amina's proof now before the election. Let the people decide.
And it so obvious that Aminah is UMNO's unofficial candidate based on the TV media time she's getting.

There are so many more abuses that the gov. has done using the Malaysian's money. Does speaking out against these abuse label you as extreme and danger to the country. If you believe this then Malaysia is fast heading towards a corrupt country.

Salam Tun

I support the teaching of English and Science in English. I am Western educated and was lucky to be in the English stream when I did my primary (St Thomas) and secondary school (St Josephs) in Kuching, Sarawak (at that time it was called LCE and MCE). Unfortunately, 1 year after that, my sister was not so fortunate and got caught in the Bahasa conversion and she had to do everything in Bahasa.

Let me tell you frankly what I think. I think that if learning in our national language does not benefit us and is just done "just for pride", then the Government has made the wrong decision asking us to learn in Bahasa and I will remember that for a long time.

It is not something that the English forced upon us or upon this world but through history, the English language has progressed to become the No 1 world language. I think it is probably the influence of the US because to me the UK is not a strong country so why would anybody want to speack their language. It could easily have been French or German or Chinese as the No 1 world language but it turned out Allah SWT had ordained it to be English. So we have to follow la...what pride, pride...do not be wasting my time. What benefits us immediately we must do. We have no time to be proud. It will just cause negative impacts to our country.

I don't know how we have allowed BM to hinder us from progress. I find the Chinese and Indians have very good work ethics. The Americans and Europeans are very advanced in thinking and inventions. It will be a waste if we do not learn from them because we are proud. Should the govt decide to do so, I will not be a part of it.

ezanih

These extremists happen come into being is because of:

1.Lack of Diversity in their exposure, they do not mix around with other people/races

2.Lack of wisdom and foresight, they even don't know how to gather wisdom. I said wisdom not knowledge.
http://beyonduni.blogspot.com/2008/08/3-ways-you-can-receive-wisdom.html

3.Lack of objective. When they do not have foresight, do not even have an objective for their life, they have no idea of what can be compromised and what cannot. Leaving the majority to decide for them. Ultimately, they will do things for the wrong reason http://beyonduni.blogspot.com/2008/11/doing-things-for-right-reasons.html

The solution? Point one should imply that a one stream education is the way. To those who are against it. I say, we are not taking away your culture or power in the education world. We are just putting students together, increasing interaction between them. Seen, Petronas' commercial regarding race? Anything other than the issue of culture or power can be worked out. We survived how many years already together?

ermmm ... had to judge ... they said Tun is extremist, Tun said they are extremist ...

who is the real extremist?

Assalamulaikum w.b.t kepada YAB Tun dan seluruh ahli keluarga.

Syabas Tun atas artikel ini. Pendek dan padat. Tun, we love u for who you are. If the old habit won't go away, so u need to embrace it because it is part of who you are and we grateful for that. We need a brilliant man to give us idea on everything and thank to Allah, He give you to us. Keep it up Tun and no regrets..

Salam Tun,

We have to continue being rational and whatever good policy that has been put into practice that benefits us, it should be maintained till the intended result achieved. It is impossible for us to achieve excellence, if we allow ourselves to be coerced by these extremists to repeat the same shameful failure of going back and fourth!

Yes, our culture is known not to nuture, but suppress. The extremists have been thriving in this manner of action whenever confronted with something that does not serve their whims and fancies. But on the other hand, if we surrender and comply without good protest and made to pay such ransom, these extremists will certainly rejoice, for awhile, without concern for the future.

What is going to happen to the people of Malaysia? Where to, Malaysia?

SALAM, TUN SEKELUARGA...

KALAU PIHAK YANG MEMBAYAR CUKAI KURANG TAPI DAPAT PERUNTUKAN BANYAK, MAKA DIKATAKAN PIHAK TERSEBUT SEBAGAI PEROMPAK DAN KERAJAAN TIDAK BERLAKU ADIL.

SAMA-SAMA KITA RENUNGKAN. SEKIAN.

Dear Tun

When you mention about extremist, I pray to Allah, to give you good health and long life because I think only you have the necessary knowledge and wisdom to overcome the problem of extremism. You probably still remember in one of you speeches in the House as Kota Star MP rediculing Labour, socialist Front and PAP of Uber Alles. Frankly, nothing has changed since then in term of their attitude towards Bumiputra. During your administration you nipped them in the bud, when it was about to surface. Now I can feel the greatness of your words "Melayu mudah lupa". Since I read a bit the history of our beloved country, when malay protector is weak, our sultan is being belittled, national language is questioned, comunists tried to be potrayed as freedom fighters, national education system is being questioned. Frankly speaking 1Malaysia is not the answer and if UMNO sticks to it, it will fail knowing the character of malaysian etnics. Alliance won the election in 1964, because of confrontation with Indonesia. We need that kind of radical solution or situation and certainly not a conventional one. We need surprises like the solution to the economic crises in 1997. One of the radical solutions could be, we need to flood this country by Indonesians like what PAP is doing in Singapore currently due to low birth rate, by 'importaing' people of Hong Kong or Taiwan to become their citizens , in order to maintain more than 70% domination of Lew Kuang Yew race.

TUN.
Satu lagi posting yang menarik untuk tatapan dan berhujah.
Setuju dengan apa yang TUN luahkan akan keadaan negara pada waktu ini. Memang jelas negara sekarang sedang berdepan dengan pelampau2.
Dari individu sehingga lah konon nya NGO,Parti2 politik,kumpulan2 yang ditubuhkan secara haram, malah majlis2 kesatuan.
Kenapa ini berlaku?
Bila ada cadangan atau usul dan usaha yang baik oleh pehak kerajaan maka akan timbul lah bantahan dari pelbagai pehak yang berkepentingan, samaada dari ahli2 politik, angota majlis kesatuan atau persatuan lah, NGO lah, bijak pandai lah.
Mereka sengaja 'selewengkan' agenda2 kerajaan untuk menimbulkan keadaan tidak menentu atau membuat rakyat keliru. Mereka suka akan perkara bergini berlaku dalam masyarakat atau keseluruhan rakyat semata2 untuk menarik perhatian atau pun kepentingan dengan agenda2 mereka.
Sehingga kan mereka ini sanggup mengunakan agama sebagai bahan untuk tujuan 'melampau mereka. Masyarakat dapat melihat segala persembahan mereka ini bukan lah sesuatu yang ada pun kebaikan nya, tapi hanya untuk mencabar perancangan atau pun dasar2 kerajaan sahaja untuk mendapat sokongan rakyat pada mereka.
Dan akhir nya siapa yang akan menanggung kesan dari apa yang telah berlaku atau pun yang telah dilakukan oleh kumpulan2 ini. Sudah pasti lah genarasi akan datang akan memikul dan menaggung segala2 nya.
Jika kerana desakan untuk mengahapuskan PPSMI pelampau2 tidak diterima kerajaan mereka2 ini bersiap sedia untuk membuat protes besara2an diseluruh negara. Mereka ini berfikir untuk siapa. Untuk diri mereka kah atau untuk anak cucu mereka di masa hadapan. Untuk memuaskan nafsu mereka kah atau pun untuk kejaayan genarasi akan datang. Sungguh melampau tindakan mereka. Hanya sengaja ingin memenuhi selera mereka, Bukan semua ibu bapak setuju dengan pemikiran mereka.
Ahli2 Poltik melampau juga sedang berluasa memainkan sentimen rakyat. Reaksi DAP dan PKR setuju cadangan membenarkan Chin Peng pulang walau pun ramai bantahan dari masyarakat. Mereka sengaja memanaskan issu ini memcabar keputusan kerajaan untuk tidak membenarkan Ketua Komunis Bintang tiga ini pulang ke Malaysia.
mereka sengaja mahu menimbulkan percangahan di antara rakyat dan akan melihat kerajaan dalam tekanan. Dan akhir nya mereka akan dapat simpati dan sokongan penyokong2 mereka dan sebahgian rakyat yang 'buta'. Itu lah cara politik DAP/PKR.
Kerajaan perlu tegas dengan 'Pelampau2' ini agar tidak menimbulkan keadaan dan suasana yang boleh menjejaskan kesetabilan dan keamanan keseluruhan kehidupan dan pegerakan harian rakyat.
"SAY NO TO EXTRIMISMA"

There are two sides of a river. Upstream or downstream.

Similarly, there are two schools of thought in Malaysia. One for progress and another anti-progress.

Sadly, the anti-progress group or groups are winning because the Government gives in too easily.

Give an inch, they want a mile.

We need to go back to basics. Go back to those so called draconian laws. Lock up the trouble makers who do not tow the line. Show them who's in charge.

We cannot let the inmates take over the prison, as this is begining to happen.

Hopefully the new regime will do the needful.

A GOOD MAN DOES NOTHING.

Salam Tun,

The problem in our country starts with bad and poor Leadership after the 4th PM left office.

When I was in THE ROYAL MILITARY COLLEGE (RMC @ LITTLE SANDHURST)way back in early 70s,my Commandant use to say this to all the potential military leaders 'THERE IS NO BAD SOLDIERS ONLY BAD OFFICERS AND COMMANDERS'

Tun ! theres truth in this statement and it is surfacing in our country now.Our country is a time bom,God knows when it will explode.

kecewa dan risau kalau Tun mengambil jalan utk menyerah. sayang saya tidak mempunyai anugerah seperti yang dimiliki oleh Tun, harapan saya agar Tun teruskan perjuangan hingga ke akhir hayat.

Tun,

In my opinion, where we are today could well be because of our failure in the implementation of the meritocracy system and the abolishment of the English medium of education.

Yes, we do not need extremists to make such changes.

Regards,
www.leading.com.my

Happy Gawai day to all Sarawakians.

Indeed, Dr. M. The nation is now at the hands of liberal and non-liberal extremists. The ethno-chauvinist DAP threatened anyone who questioned the right of Chinese school to exist in Malaysia with ISA. Yes, ISA!!Hypocrites to the core.

The nation is also facing Hindutvas ( whose hatred to Muslims are recorded) in Malaysia. Hindraf leaders have demanded economic sanction on Malaysia. This after Malaysians have taken them in and have given them all the blessings Tamil Nadu could never give them. Why don't we open our citizenships to Bangladeshis and Indonesians who are also toiling day and night in our plantations and farms if 50 years ago we gave Tamils the same citizenships - at least the Bangladeshis and Indonesians will assimilate and learn to respect the native culture of this land?

Thankfully, Malaysians are well educated. Our middle class is strong and vast - stability will exist as long as these people exist.

they actually got stronger & stronger. all they just need to do is show their 'monyet kena belacan' moves, then it is done. isnt that easy?

Islam is too good to be True. it is also too good for the evil humans not to manipulate the gray area of it.

Today Islam has evoluted to be a tools of power. many of it follower are totally lost.

Dear Tun!

After 50 odd years of Independence from the British, what has Malaysia achieved?! The Twin Towers? Genting Highlands? The upcoming Iskhandar development in Johor? The North South Highway?......and so the list goes!!!!! Academically? Nothing to brag about!!!!!

Who, in the first place, set the precedent?! The Chinese, Indians, Dayaks.....who Tun?! To boost up what ever morale that Malaysians need, don't look any further!!!! Just look down South at your immediate neighbour, Singapore and you will find ample answers to your fledging egos! Branded on umpteen ocassion as being "Chinese" by the elite in your midst, look at what they have achived since their Independence! Never mind if they have even been branded as "a little red dot"! I personally feel that the Malays and Indians there are certainly, academically speaking as well, far better than those in Malaysia! All this in a short span of approximately 44 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't blame the British or anyone else for your miseries! If we look within ourselves, the answers are certainly there and that too aplenty!!!!!!!!

Let's look forward, Dear Tun! Not backwards as has been done in the last 50 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Das

Salam Tun and family

I remember at one time my friends and I had a discussion about the education for our children. He told me that he want this and that and his children must get an education from Multilanguage school which is English and Arabic as main languages. But when it comes to PPSMI he said most of the children nowadays are not really good in mathematics and science due to the English language has been used. Then I realize this is the mentality of so called ‘pejuang bangsa@bahasa’. When it comes to ‘anak orang’ then you must be a ‘pejuang bangsa@bahasa’ and need to learn in Bahasa Melayu but when it comes to his/her children then they must get the best education should be and become internationally as they could.

Wish you and family always in pink health. Take care.

Assalamalaikum and grace Dr. Mahathir and dear friends.

I'll not respond on the inter-Malaysian "Extremist" issue. This is something to be resolved by utilizing the inner partners.

I would look about extremism from another aspect which is not much different. The Malaysian races and people are a community as a similar model of the global races and peoples communities. I would like to emphasize on the global extremism. It may look as a mirror image of the extremism in Malaysia, but in a different scale.

I would prefer to put on the table a series of questions without my answers (some I have and some I don't). It is just to provide you the catalyst of thinking and try to answer to yourselves. Please try to internalize prior bashing me because my intention is not to provoke and a honest friendly approach.

1) Is terror (all kinds) - extremism?
2) Is clerics poisonous jargon - extremism?
3) Is banning diplomatic relations between nations and countries - extremism?
4) Is banning academic collaboration - extremism?
5) Is prohibiting citizens of Malaysia visiting Israel - extremism?
6) Is prohibiting Israeli citizens visiting Malaysia - extremism?
7) Is being afraid of having transparent and exposed correspondence relation between Malaysians and Israelis - extremism?
8) Is the usage of political and constitutional power to prohibit citizens to contact enmity citizens for the dialog - extremism?
9) Are you afraid of extremism?
10) Which extremism would you support?
11) Is cursing and using a blatant jargon in cyber comments - extremism?
12) What can be the path to avoid extremism or reduce it significantly?

Again, before you bash, take a good breath, think it over of how would you expect to get the answers if you would ask those questions.

Hanan, Jewish,
Israel.

I fully agree with you. But more dangerous than the extremists are the willy ones. The extremists you can tell by their looks alone. And when they open their mouths to speak, you only hear their venom, their hate, their greed, their insecurities, their fears. Of course they justify it all by identifying themselves as the self appointed keeper of the gates for the community they choose to represent.

The willy ones on the other hand speak with forked tongues. They are the ones who you see quietly exuding the notion of a thoughtful and insightful being. They are the ones who speak ever so softly, and in a caring kind of way. They are the ones who quietly profess their commitment and their loyalty to the community they identify with. Adn they are the ones who want a closer relationship within the community they operate in.

And they call for unity of their community. Unity! Such an endearing word. What is so wrong with it? Nothing you might say.

They call for unity of the Malay race. And there are those who call for the unity of the Chinese race. And yet I have heard Samy Velu cry out for unity amongst the Indians. Now, as Malaysians, if we are already a homogeneous Malaysian society, why the call for unity amongst the Malays or the Muslims exclusively? Why the need for unity? If there was a foreign enemy or a common enemy like the present economic crisis, or if it was an epidemic like the present Swine flu, would we not call out for Malaysian unity in fighting the common enemy?

Isn't the need for unity basically to benefit from joint endeavours? Or alternatively isn't the need for unity to face off an enemy?

Why all that call for Malay unity? And Tun, you are just as guilty for calling for Malay unity?

What is the presumption in making that call? The non-Malays are your enemies? Are you declaring that the non-Malays are there to take everything away from the Malays? If this was true pre-1969, surely it cannot be true today? When you call for Muslims to be united, imputed in that statement is the suggestion and the presumption that the non-Muslims are targeting the Muslims? But here in Malaysia??

No sir, I don't think you believe in those presumptions that support the call for unity at all. But it is a useful and safe statement to make to get front page attention the next day. It is useful because at the same time you make it you offer yourself as the leader and the defender of their heritage. You offer the leadership of UMNO, yourself and that of your comrades. Your constituents actually end up believing in all that fib that you create in those unsaid words.

No sir, between the extremists and the willy ones, I'd rather prefer the extremists. They make no bones about it and they don't apologise for it. You see them miles away unlike the willy ones. The willy ones are the quietest. And some may just be a whole lot of an empty barrel. They make themselves known by making all that noise. But substance wise, they are basically empty. But they make enough of a din to get themselves noticed, relevant in a negative kind of a way and get to the position they want. How else do you explain Rahim Thamby Chik or Mohammad Mohammad Taib. Or Khir Toyo for instance.

Malaysians are generally gullible and naive people. They never learn their lesson.

I think it is a matter of time Malaysia would be a failed state , if those racists out there within our multi-racial society manage to have the upper hand in weakening the fabric of our society.

Racists within our society are now feeling comfortable with the current trend, but soon they will realise that what they are hoping for will just be a dream.

The whole country will soon be down the drain. Make no mistake about it.

There is no future for the next generation of Malaysians because they allow this racist element to grow within our society.

There will be no win-win situation. Everybody will be a loser.

We will become poorer because what we are building to ensure that our material well-being is intact will all become ashes.

There is no value. All being depreciated because of our own doing for creating instability to our country.

Some people may laugh by this statement but that is the reality of the day. Don't be in a state of denial. Be realistic and truthful.
The future is ours to shape whether we want it to be good, bad or ugly. Don't take things for granted.

Ask not what others can do for you, but ask what you can do to ensure that Malaysians continue to enjoy prosperity. The cake is big enough to share. You simply cannot eat it all by yourself. You will vomit and die standing !!

Tun,

Org melayu sepatutnya meningkatkan lagi kefahaman berkaitan dengan penyelidikan. bila kita terlibat dengan penyelidikan baru lah kita sedar tentang kekurangan bahasa melayu itu sendiri. Untuk meningkatkan dan berkongsi pengalaman berkaitan penyelidikan: http://www.ekaji4u.com

I guess I did make a point there, didn't I, Tun? ;-)
Thanks a lot for approving my comment, Tun! I meant a lot to me...

Tun,
It is important to learn more than one language other than our own language. In fact, if we want to become a knowledgeable person, we should read more and tell other. Your articles can be a reference for those who want to do research in politic science. Therefore, share your experience with http://www.ekaji4u.com

salam buat Tun berdua dan semuga sejahtera seisi keluarga...Amin.

Topik PPSMI sepatutnya dah berlalu....apakah mereka yang menentang ini suara mereka lebih kuat hanya kerana segolongan mereka cendikiawan dan ahli sasterawan....

saya ni a normal 'layman', rasanya, betullah tu apa yang disarankan kerajaan...

English adalah bahasa ilmu, Melayu bahasa ibunda dan bahasa pelajaran kita dinegara ini...namun adalah lebih baik kita faham bahasa kita dan faham bahasa kecap ilmu sekali gus....

Bagi mereka yang bahasa ibunda mereka English, ingin belajar dan fasih sekurang-kurangnya 1 bahasa lain....

....yang pentingnya dalam kemelut ini, ia akan menaikan mertabat kita dan generasi akan datang di arena antarabangsa, kerana dapat menguasai bahasa ilmu ini...,

....dan saya yakin bahawasanya, tidak akan jatuh mertabat seseorang cendikiawan atau sasterawan tersebut, sekiranya mereka menggalakan PPSMI ini, malah akan menepati taraf mereka sebagai seorang ilmuan...

Terima Kasih, Tun ...

wassalammu...

E1.

if only they can think a little forward..sigh!!

Hi Tun,

After more then a year as a true reader of your blog finally today i intend to register.

Nowdays we Malaysian known as Cartoon Country and not been respect by the world. Most of my collegues, business patner from over the world keep on asking me "mate, what is hepping to your country?"

DSAI try to shown to the world that his the correct person for PM by his A**sh******. Make our beloved country caca marba. So i believe no more visit Malaysia but Look at Malaysia.

Why this Mr. Lah (he not entitle for the Tun)try to be nice by showing to the world he more openess then you and as the result see what happen to Malaysia now. But Mr. Lah sudah cuci tangan enjoying his life with Ms. Jin.

We dont have strong goverment such your tenure... and we need it. Najib need time to remasured back all the minister & staff.

Rumors saying KJ best buddies Omar will appointed as Petronas BOD. An Mr. Syed Boldhead Albar will be appointed as Advisor???? another disaster again? sure DSAI will play around with this issued.

Hope to hear from you about this Petronas issued and such a waste and disaster if this 2 clown been selected after all Mr. Hassan & Tun doing so well.

When Mac 8 kick in last year, everyone around me kept saying Changes is coming... when I tell them that Malaysian wanted changes, but are them or the politician ready for it? Everyone said I am pro-BN.

1 year plus down the road, everyone said I am far sighted.

I am NOT far sighted, I am just being humble and being thankful with what I have, not asking this changes and that changes.

askm Tun,

Ingin memberi pendapat kepada point no 5:

1. Malaysia masih jauh lagi utk mencapai perpaduan yang mantap jika kita masih mengamalkan tri-sistem pendidikan sediada...

2. Pada pendapat saya masyarakat india tidak ade masaalah jika sekolah india diserapkan dalam sistem sekolah kebangsaan, tetapi saya tidak yakin masyarakat cina sedia untuk menyerapkan sekolah cina atas sebab yang rasional.

3. Kalau masyarakat cina ada sekolah cina, kenapa tidak kaum lain seperti melayu, kadazan, bidayuh ade sekolah masing2.belum lagi kalau dipecahkan kaum melayu, ade pulak bugis, jawa, banjar dll...

4. kalau isu bahasa ibunda masing2 diutamakan, kementerian pendidikan rasanya tidak ade masaalah jika semua bahasa ibunda kaum di malaysia diajar di sekolah kebangsaan.

5. parti politik yang berasaskan kaum atau agama mungkin kita boleh faham pendirian tentang perkara ini, tetapi parti politik yang menegakkan 'for all" atau "malaysia malaysia', kenapa tidak mahu menjadi 'champion' isu ini,

6. Bagi saya parti seperti Gerakan, DAP dan Keadilan adalah contoh yang baik dimana bila tentang isu 'efficiency' begitu hebat untuk menjadi 'champion' tapi bila menyentuh isu asas dimana mana diuar-uarkan menjadi pegangan parti masing tiba2 hilang menikus.. dan memberi seribu satu alasan bodoh...kalu orang islam kita boleh panggil dia sebagai munafik dan yang bukan islam adalah 'Con man'

7. Maaf kepada Tun, BN telah gagal menangani isu ini. disebabkan ini segala perancangan yang lain telah tidak sempurna hasilnya. Harap segeralah BN menambahbaikkan segala kelemahan yang telah timbul ini sebelum.............

I personally agree your Teaching Science & Maths in English, it would really help our country get into business globalization path.

But the problems are, you had personally change the education policy from English teaching into Bahasa Melayu teaching during 90s. You want to show that Bahasa Melayu also can be a trend which replace the English way. You ARE( not WAS yet) a strong Asian leader, especially from a Malay tribe. You proved to the world that even a small country as M'sia can be an influencing power in this world. You had been idolized, thinking that Malays can be a powerful, successful and EveryThings comparing to the Chinese sharks.

So now you want us to come back to English teaching, how can a people that had been influenced under 'Ketuanan Melayu' can accept the English teaching ways in these days? You are hurting their pride. So do Chinese, because your past Dasar Pendidikan (BM teaching) made Chinese even more extremely in protecting their Mother Tongue.

Life just always turn around. You are a successful leader who develop our country well, but not develop a next generation Leaders. You failed twice( Axwar n Bxdawi).

What can you do? You are aging, there is no much you can do. I'm pretty sad and hopeless for our currently education system and standard now. A country's prosper built on the Education. Maybe, we just have to surrender~

May God bless you, bless this my lovely homeland.
(Sorry for didnt call you 'Tun', coz i believe God creates us in equal.)

Goodnight zzZZZ...

Tun,

Sasterawan negara perjuangkan bahasa ibunda, kununnya...

Susahterawan negara perjuangkan politik dan tembolok sendiri, tiada kunun-kunun lagi. Dimana ada demonstrasi, disitu ada Susahterawan Negara. Pedulikan masa depan anak kecil yang dikampung yang tidak fasih berbahasa inggeris. Mungkin akan tetap bekerja di pekan kecil. Yang penting, susahterawan tetap berjuang untuk 'agamanya', 'bangsanya' dan entah negara mananya.

Selamat malam dan have a nice day buat Tun dan Family...

golongan ini sememangnya tidak pernah sedarkan diri mereka itu siapa, setelah menumpang melalui sistem kangani dan sistem kangcu, kuasa politik orang Melayu dicabarnya, ini aka mendatangkan kesan jangka panjang kepada mereka untuk masa yang akan datang.

Yg Berbahagia Tun,

Saya syorkan pihak-pihak yang tak puas hati dan tidak ada kerja lain selain asyik menyalah apa jua yang kerajaan laksanakan supaya musahbahah diri mereka terlebih dahulu.

Jika kepingin sangat nak ambil alih dan mentadbir kerajaan baru, pakat-pakatlah berjumpa Datuk Pendaftar Pertubuhan mohon kelulusan resmi untuk penubuhan pergerakan bersepadu ala Perikatan/ Barisan Nasional. Molek sikit dan tidaklah rakyat berkata umpama tidur sebantal tapi mimpi masing-masing berlainan.

It's rather sad that many Malaysians are not "opening up their minds" well enough and simply believe in whatever propaganda being presented to them. Many are lacking in political awareness and knowledge but yet they still want to "play with fire". Extremists are the main culprits on the fall of various civilisations and I do hope Malaysia would not be one of the fallen nations.

Salam, Tun.

Yes, the extremists have laid low before the era of the Fifth Premiership, but due to the openness of Tun Abdullah, many grabbed the chance and surfaced with their own agenda. One desperately seeks revenge and craze over the office of the Prime Minister, while some would just like to suppress the privilege endorsed by the constitution to the landlords.

What can you, sir, do if even the owner of the special rights themselves choose to forfeit their supposed rights that were obtained with the blood of their ancestors?

Truly, Tun, you are a man of honour and the best Prime Minister we've ever had! On behalf of the nation whom you've served, I salute and thank you for your service and inspirations.

Salam, Tun.

Dear TUN and Family, best wishes, from us Sarawakians, and as Malaysian, we are so very greatfull that the country gave us better life and independence for more than 50 years now. Such flame of hatred should be dealt with ISA or just revoke their citizenship or assist them in getting citizenship in countries championing human right and freedom of speech. Lets see how true it is. To my Dayak friends, stay united and happy Gawai 2009.

good piece Tun. I personally agree with you on the PPSMI case and the theory of extremists.

Our country, I feel, is not at the highest level of political awareness. Many claim that they love their country more now. But are they on the right track ?

It seems that our country has now reached a new height of politics where people are just slinging mud at each other.

No one cares about governance anymore but power. Malaysia is bound to be destructed if our people are not educated the right way.

I wonder what will happen to our country in the next 20 years when people from my generation takes over as leaders of the country.

How I wish there are more of leaders like you, Tun.

Salam..semoga TUn sekelarga sejahtera dan diberkati Allah. Kebiasaannya kita kurang menghargai aper yang dimiliki kecuali apabila kita kehilangannya..
