"O' Malays"- Dr. Azly Rahman

"In contrast Umno’s 500-odd ceramah attendance degenerated 

into a verbal shouting match as its star speaker Ummi Hafilda Ali 

screamed verbal abuse each time Anwar or any PR leader spoke.
 “Anwar is al-juburi He is pro-Jewish He is the father of womanisers ”, shouted

 the woman whose complaint led to Anwar’s first sodomy trial 

as she tried to drown the former deputy prime minister’s speech. 

This prompted Anwar to say,

 “We want to win the elections not by insulting people but by rule of law"."

O' Malays

by Dr. Azly Rahman

O' Malay essentially

what hath wrought and possess'd your consciousness ?

How hath your education failed you?

How have you descended to the glorification of ignorance?

Is this not about helping the next generation to be more civil?

Do know what knowledge is ?

and what it is not?

O' Malays essentially

wake up

smell the fragrance of the chains around your neck

chains of your feudal past

chains of those who giveth salams to others

but grateful that the oppressed from the past

hath now become the oppressor

their army boots of patriotism on the head of fellowmen and women

pinning the future to the ground

chanting

chanting

mantras of race

and religion

Into the Forest of the Subconsciosus you must now be banished

so that the spirit of love and wisdom inside of you

can be healed

O' Malays

heal you must

and wake up

to a new world

wherein the Oppressed that hath become the Oppressor

amongst you

can be buried

with love

with peace

with salams

and chants of of a new hope

O' Malays essentially

you shall overcome

the enemy

within you ..
