Ampun Tuanku, patek pohon derhaka « The People’s Parliament

"Perak is still my home state, and Sultan Azlan Shah is still my Sultan.

I have read today, in Malaysiakini, a report that His Royal Highness had said that questioning the special rights of the Malays in this country conflicted with the Federal Constitution.

His Royal Highness is also reported to have said that the

“Malay Rulers who sit on their thrones today are not just inheriting the power to rule but also the responsibilities towards Islam and the Malay race, ensuring that the legacy continues”

and that

“It would be most unfortunate for the race and religion if real history is erased and the facts altered. If this is allowed to go on, it would be pointless to regret if one day the Malays find themselves marginalised and Islam relegated to the periphery” .

I am saddened by these words that have been attributed to my monarch."

Helping himself – Taib Lifts Prime Plots from Pelita [Exclusive!] | Sarawak Report

In charge of the land handouts

The Sarawak Chief Minister, Abdul Taib Mahmud, who is also the Chairman of the Land Custody and Development Authority (LCDA), which manages state land under the title of Pelita, has been using his control over the government agency to steer prime bits of land the way of himself and his family!

Sarawak Report has found documentary proof that a huge area of 700 acres of valuable state land at 13th Mile Kuching, which had formed part of the Rajah Brooke Memorial Hospital site next to the Semengok National Park, has now been absorbed into the Taib family property empire.

The Chief Minister himself holds substantial shares in the property. In his guise as Chief Minister and Chairman of the LCDA, he himself would have approved and overseen the deal from which he has so directly profited.

A deal marked “CONFIDENTIAL”!

We have established that the land was originally ‘alienated’ from the Hospital and placed under the ‘custody’ of the State in in 1984. Three years later in 1987 the LCDA then saw fit to transfer the custody of this land, which forms an extension of Semengok National Park, to a company called Lanco Plantations.

If talented foreigners

get special treatment

to come and live here, what about talented Malaysians who have lived here all their lives? Yesterday’s announcement of a new class of immigration permit gives a subtle hint:-

talented Malaysians are second-class.

The new 10-year residential pass, not tied to employers, with spouses given the right to work, applies to “talented” foreigners. (The Star calls them “gifted”. Presumably, that means they come bearing gifts for those that let them in.) Until official criteria are released, who knows how talent will be defined? (“Gifts” everybody understands.) Even then, few will know what unofficial criteria, the back-room criteria that officials determine among themselves and party cadres, will result in action.

Oh, incidentally, and by the way, “talented foreigners” also applies to those “traitor” Malaysians who emigrated years ago and who were then vilified by Umno officials, and sometimes MCA and MIC officials too, as “rubbish” for leaving. Most of them were Nons but in later years many non-Nons have also left.

(The word “traitor” of course applies to anyone who doesn’t kiss Umno’s racist arse.)

But now that you’re a Non-Malaysian, besides being a Non, you’re also welcome to the new long-stay permits. If you’re talented.

And when you arrive, you can be sure there will be huge gushing stories in the New Straits Times and the Star, being mostly read by the Nons. “Welcome home”, you can be sure they’ll say, even if they don’t believe it themselves.

Home?

But you’re no longer Malaysian. This is home? Can you still make noise about your rights? (Rights? You have rights?) Or about the state of the nation? It’s almost the same state of the nation that made you leave in the first place.

Only difference is, you can’t make noise about it now. So you can stay. Bring your money. And your talent. Share your skills and knowledge among us non-talented and the non-Nons. Help to develop the “nation”. Use your expertise to make money for the ruling class of the keris party and their second-class partners.

As for talented native-born Malaysians, especially the talented Nons (Talent? You have talent?) the message is simple — go away and be talented elsewhere. After that you can come back.

In other words, give up your rights,

then your talent will be recognised.
