WE NEED TO TELL THE WORLD OUR GOVERNMENT IS CORRUPT.
First posted on Thursday, August 9, 2012
Did it ever occur to the Malay leaders within UMNO that they are the role models that the Malays look up to?
That they owe themselves if
not the Malays, the responsibility of living up to the expectations and
aspirations of the Malays they claim to lead?
That if they stumble ethically and morally the Malays stumble with them?
The way these UMNO leaders
live their life, their habits, their weaknesses and their failings can
be the very mirror that other Malays may measure their life against and
begin to take that life as one they should emulate. And if they do what
then would happen to the Malays?
Sometimes I despair at the
inability of these Malay leaders to understand their responsibilities
and duties as our leaders. Why do I speak only of the Malays? Because I
am Malay. I choose to say that UMNO (a Malay political party that claims
to champion the Malays) has failed the Malays because and I am one of
those Malay that they have failed!
I have never claimed to be
anyone else but a Malay. I am not a Muslim Chinese claiming to be a
Malay, not an Indian from Kerala or a Mamak morphed into almost being a
Malay neither am I a Pendatang who is a Malay by consent of this UMNO
led Barisan Nasional government. None of the above!
Neither am I a Malay because I am a Muslim – that is incidental!
I am a Malay as a Chinese is a
Chinese when his ancestors comes from China or an Indian is an Indian
when his ancestors comes from India. Yes I now live in Australia but
that does not make me NOT a Malay. So as a Malay I will pass judgement
on these Malay UMNO leaders who have failed us Malays!
And who am I to pass
judgement on these Malay leaders in UMNO when I have never voted in my
life, no longer live in Malaysia nor do I intend to do so for the
foreseeable future?
For the same reason that we
can all call Hitler an evil man, call Idi Amin a butcher of his own
people and can call Suharto a thief who stole billions of his own
people’s wealth. These are all leaders who have failed their people on a
scale unprecedented in the history of mankind. They murder, they steal
they plunder and they go about doing these things with the abundance
that suggest that they think there is no tomorrow. Such is the evil that
they do that the world, you and me included, can make it our business
to comment on what they do in the hope that it will stop other leaders
from doing the same evil.
Such is the situation that is now happening in that country that was once my home.
And so this Malay writes from
Australia. This Malay writes and will continue to write about Malay
leaders in Malaysia who have failed the Malays in everything except in
their ability to give us Malay the underserved reputation of being a
lazy and weak race unable to achieve anything without this odious policy
of Ketuanan Melayu! UMNO says that without Ketuanan Melayu the Malays
will be nothing in Malaysia.
I beg to differ! Any Malay anywhere else should beg to differ because this Ketuanan Melayu is not what we Malays need.
It is what UMNO
desperately need for their political survival and to attempt to link the
survival of the Malays to Ketuanan Melayu insults any right thinking
Malay no matter where they reside!
This is why I make it my
business to tell these Malay leaders in UMNO that enough is enough. We
should all make it our business to tell the world what UMNO is doing to
our country. We know now that the French have taken an interest through
their Judiciary in the purchase of the Scorpene Submarines by this
Malaysian Government under the leadership of Najib Tun Razak. The French
must be wondering how is it that the former Minister of Defence is now
our Prime Minister! All I can say to them is “Welcome to the sordid
world of corruption and greed that is Malaysia today!” ….and in the
thick of it all is that Najib Tun Razak!
Some of you will ask why
should we air our dirty linen in public? What happens in Vegas should
stay in Vegas they say. To them I want to say this:
There is no need to be
ashamed that people in other countries will know that our government is
corrupt. That our Prime Minister and our Ministers are steep in nepotism
and any other “ism” that brings them cash. Why should we be ashamed?
They are corrupt not us! And we for the most part powerless to do
anything about it! Let the world know! It will not stop the corruption
and the abuse of executive power but it might just slow them down a bit!
ABU.
