Chinese for Chinese, something else for others

A friend got irritated yesterday after reading a Malaysiakini report about a DAP leader telling the Chinese community about the failure of MCA to complain about Budget 2021 which supposedly does not provide much for them.

The DAP leader could either be Lim Guan Eng or his father Kit Siang, as my friend only gave me an excerpt of the report which states that he is a "Lim". I don't subscribe to Malaysiakini, so I can't read the full report. 

Anyway, what really pissed  off my friend was that the statement as reported by Malaysiakini was supposedly issued by DAP only in Chinese.

"Why can't they issue the statement in Bahasa and English too?" he asked.

Then my friend in a way answered his own question when he forwarded this screenshot of a tweet by someone I believe to be from Malaysiukini,


Well, it's actually standard DAP practice lah.

To everyone else, they said its Malaysia for Malaysians but to their own respective ethnic groups, they make it as if they are the champion of that particular race.

And it's not being practiced by just the Chinese leaders of the party.

Here is an Indian DAP leader during the Rantau by-election last year,



That's why I always insist in this blog that those who are so fond of accusing others of being racists are the actual racists themselves.

They accused others of being racist because they want to score political points and that's just about it.

As for the supposedly race-based entities of this country, at least they are honest about what they are and they exist within the confines of the country's constitution.

Last week, there was this story,

The statement by Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall was also issued only in Chinese.

It's an extremely embarrassing announcement for them, I think.

Ya lah, their president, who is a prominent Chinese community leader being charged with polluting river and causing million of people in Klang Valley to suffer from water cuts.

Someone suggested to me that they only issued the statement in Chinese because they were trying to hide the news from the other communities.

After all, a Chinese community leader was supposed to be an upright and principled person and does not go around polluting rivers to cut corners for profit.

Maybe that's the case, but my past experience of working with Chinese guilds made me believe that they only issued the statement in Chinese because they simply don't have anyone with proper English or Bahasa Malaysia skills working for them to do the statement in those languages.

Really, I have seen it many times. They ended up just issuing a statement in Chinese hoping for the Chinese reporters to translate it for their other fellow journalists.

I know, they should have at least someone who knows the national language to do the statement, but that's just how it is. Those working for Chinese associations are mostly Chinese educated and they tend to be not confident enough to draft such an important statement in other languages.

But that's how I see it. Maybe I'm a bit bias on this because of my mother who is Chinese educated.

Anyway, does it really matter that the guy who allegedly polluted the river is a Chinese community leader?

I, honestly, don't like to see it that way. The same if the alleged polluter is a Malay community leader. The community that the person represents shouldn't be blame for what he/she allegedly did.

    1. Very likely true... and it's the only problem that they can solve easily but prefer not to because of deep ingrained racism.

  2. Yet nobody was charged for the Sungai Kim Kim pollution resulting in the mostly Malay communities to suffer health problems while the owners of those kilangs suspected of polluting the river left freely, safe and sound. Again, it gone along the racial line; the kilang owners and the Malay cmmunities.

  4. I wonder if anyone know the social and economic activities along the whole length of Sungai Selangor that can contribute to the pollution/contamination. Don't tell me it's done visually!!

    To pinpoint pollution, are there any SCHEDULED monitoring on discharge/effluents at various points along the WHOLE length of the river by Environmental Department? Are not water condition analysis reports the basis for suitability for consumption and for water treatment before it goes out to the 'millions of consumers'?

  7. Arrest Zeti and there no way Najib could have brought in RM2.6 billion from Saudi Arabia without Bank Negara knowing about it or without first giving permission.

    But that is not the point. The focus instead should be on the relationship between Zeti’s family and Jho Low and the unexplained RM127 million in their bank account in Singapore.

    We are talking about RM127 milion. How come Zeti’s family has RM127 million in a Singapore bank? And Bank Negara Malaysia knows about this money. Furthermore, investigations have proven that Zeti’s family has links with Jho Low and that the RM127 million parked in the Singapore bank is documented.

    The issue of Najib is water under the bridge. It is up to Najib’s lawyers to subpoena Zeti to testify in his ongoing 1MDB court case. If Zeti had intentionally set up a trap for Najib to walk into by giving him advice that will hang him, it is up to Najib’s lawyers to establish this. Why are they not doing this?

    What is important is the RM127 million that Zeti’s family has in Singapore and their relationship with Jho Low.

    CP is still sleeping..

  8. Al Jazeera Documentary Is About Mahathir Vision, Not even Najib version.

    The Al Jazeera Documentary Is About Mahathir version, Not Najib version this Al Jazeera documentary and Sarawak Report story is not about Najib (after all, Najib has already been convicted) but is about hurting Mahathir to allow Anwar to replace Muhyiddin next week (if Budget 2021 can be sabotaged on 25.11.2020 call as Judgment Day).

    The latest revelation by Al Jazeera and Sarawak Report have proven what Malaysia Today wrote two years ago back in 2018 was correct after all. Pakatan Harapan DID negotiate with Jho Low not long after they formed the government in May 2018.

    What Malaysia Today revealed then was, first of all, the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) knew all along where Jho Low was. CP is still sleeping or waiting instruction before judgment day coming..!?

    And Jho Low was NOT in hiding or living “underground”, as what they tried to make us believe. Ex- Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad did not agree to this last condition.

    Mahathir agreed that Jho Low can keep PART of the loot, but some of it must be returned to give an impression that the late of "Pakatan Harapan government succeeded" in getting back at least some of the stolen money.

    While the details of what Jho Low must return and what he can keep as a “reward” from late of Pakatan Harapan for his testimony against Najib was still being negotiated, but now the Pakatan Harapan government already fell.

    DAP boys timed this Al Jazeera documentary and Sarawak Report story to trigger a sort of “no confidence motion” against Mahyuddin amd Mahathir, so that if Muhyiddin’s government falls next week, Mahathir will have little chance of coming back as PM9 and the field will be clear for Anwar to take over.

    Al Jazeera documentary is meant to hurt Mahathir, NOT Najib, in anticipation of next week’s on 25.11.2020 "No Confidence motion against Muhyiddin."

    If Najib succed to force Mahyuddin agree to extend the moratorium in bank it will be disaster to weak the Mahyuddin goverment

    Why the story of Jho Low and 1MDB suddently appered when Najib succed to force EPF allowed people to withdraw the money..!?

    25.11.2020 is judgment day to Tun actually...!!

  12. just do a simple experiment annie. do u know mandarin?

    if u do and look like non chinese, walk around in penang and maybe sit on a table next to the chinese group table in a coffee shop.

    or maybe play basketball with chinese dominated outdoor court and pretend u couldnt speak chinese.

    ull be suprise what u hear them say about u. all the racist stuff they would say.

    if u havent experience this well lucky u. but 6 out of 10 randomly ull face what ive faced. i can even enter premises i know for sure theyll spout racist remark on me.

    and this ranges from teenagers to mid 30s and both sexes. but hey we got a well documented study on racist employers who wouldnt hire anyone but chinese but nobody said anything about it or do anything about it.

    that how racist they are in Malaysia. and when they claim others as racist ? if only i could slap them hard in the face.

  13. Hari pengundian 25.11.2020 sidang bajet bakal dinanti keputusan diterima akan memeranjatkan seluruh negara.

    Inshaallah !!! Yang bakal terjadi undi dipihak Kerajaan tidak mencukupi ..apa terjadi nantikan..tunggu sekitar minggu 25hb Nov hingga December 2020.

    Awan mendung di seluruh tanah air, bila mana rakyat bertambah bingung dengan suasana dan keadaan di negara ini

    Hilang sokongan dari Ku Li Anwar Zahid mahupun Najib adalah pasti.

    Jika Belanjawan 2021 tidak diluluskan di Dewan Rakyat bolehkah Muhyiddin Yassin menghadap Yang Di-Pertuan Agong supaya dibubarkan Parlimen dan Pilihanraya Umum diadakan?

    S. 1: Perdana Menteri yang kalah di Dewan Rakyat kerana Belanjawan Kerajaannya ditolak oleh ahli-ahli Parlimen sudah hilang kedudukan atau locus standi untuk bertindak sebagai seorang Perdana Menteri yang sah untuk menasihati Yang Di-Pertuan Agong supaya membubarkan Parlimen dan mengadakan Pilihanraya Umum.

    S. 2: Kalau semua langkah Perdana Menteri yang kalah Belanjawannya di Dewan Rakyat tersekat kerana halangan undang-undang Perlembagaan & konvensyen Perlembagaan jadi apa yang Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin wajar lakukan sekiranya senario yang digambarkan itu benar-benar berlaku?

    J. : Yang Berhormat Ahli Parlimen Pagoh itu tiada pilihan lain. Beliau perlu meletakkan jawatan sebagai Perdana Menteri bersama barisan kabinet dapur nya.

    S. 3: Apa jadi jika Perdana Menteri meletakkan jawatan?

    J. : Semua Menteri kabinet juga secara otomatik gugur dari jawatan dan Kerajaan PN ikut sama tumbang.

    S.4: Jika senario ini benar-benar berlaku pada Khamis 25 November ini. Apa jalan penyelesaiannya?

    J. : Yang Di-Pertuan Agong akan melantik seorang Perdana Menteri Baharu. Sebuah Kabinet dengan Jemaah Menteri akan terbentuk dan sebuah Kerajaan baharu akan ditubuhkan. Tun sedang melobi Hisyamuddin sebagai PM interim.

    Tetapi tidak dapat dipastikan masih adakah lagi lagi Ahli Parlimen dipihak Kerajaan yang berbolak hatinya dalam menyokong' Muhyiddin?

    Pengumuman Mazlee keluar Pejuang kini hanya dianggotai empat Ahli Parlimen – Tun Mahathir Mohamad (Langkawi), Mukhriz Mahathir (Jerlun), Amiruddin Hamzah (Kubang Pasu) dan Dr. Shahruddin Salleh (Sri Gading)

    Keputusan Dr. Maszlee keluar daripada Pejuang tidaklah memeranjatkan. Tun dan Boboi yang terperanjat besar sebenarnya kerana tiada lagi kuda tunggangan kedua anak beranak ini.

    Makin sepi hati atok makin terbakar lah rasa ego tingginya. Maka karma Tun akan membakar Dewan Rakyat pada 25.11.2020 usul tidak menyokong bajet 2020.

    Judgement day untuk Tun dan anak cucu sedang menanti karmanya.

  15. FOCUS wang RM127 juta di Bank Singapura. Tangkap dan ambil Tindakan Undang-Undang Perlu Diambil Terhadap Zeti Aziz Bekas Gabenor Bank Negara

    Satu siasatan telah dibuat terhadap bekas gabenor Bank Negara Malaysia, Zeti Akhtar Aziz, dan nampaknya beliau telibat dengan jenayah rasuah dan salah guna kuasa. (Link Video bawah ni haah)

    https://youtu.be/9keShws0UEU

    Siasatan juga telah menunjukkan yang beliau tahu tentang derma sebanyak US$680 juta dari Arab Saudi.

    Zeti sebagai gabenor akan mempertahankan diri dng menyatakan peraturan Bank Negara akan menyiasat sekiranya ada aduan dari bank terhadap kemasukkan wang yang banyak ke dalam akaun peribadi sesorang.

    "Issu yang sebenarnya adalah terdapat hubungan keluarga Zetty dan. Jho Lo sebanyak RM127 juta dalam Bank Singapura."

    Zeti jugalah yang menasihati Najib Tun Razak untuk memasukkan duit itu ke dalam akaun peribadinya dan bukan ke dalam akaun Umno.

    Zeti juga yang memberi kelulusan untuk duit itu dibawa masuk ke Malaysia.

    Penglibatan Zeti bersama Jho Lo (link bawah ni haahh..!)

    https://www.malaysia-today.net/2020/10/30/the-untold-story-of-zetis-involvement-with-jho-low/

    Mengapa Zeti perlu disiasat. Tangan tangan kotor Zeti’s dan sikap diam membisunya kerana Zeti juga adalah beneficiaries dalam duit 1MDB. Pendedahan peranan keluarga suami Zeti dan keluarganya bersama Jho Lo dalam kes 1MDB sambil mengenakan Najib Tun Razak.

    Note : The real issue is Zeti account bank in Singapore. Zeti imvolving in 1MDB lets court make decision.

    The "FOCUS" is instead should be on the relationship between Zeti’s family and Jho Low and the unexplained RM127 million in their bank account in Singapore.

    We are talking about RM127 milion. How come Zeti’s family has RM127 million in a Singapore bank? And Bank Negara Malaysia knows about this money.

    Lantik Ku Li Perdana Menteri dan Anwar Timbalan Perdana Menteri dan Najib sebagai menteri kanan (kes nya diselesaikan) akan percepatkan lenyapnya legasi tak guna ini.

    Pendirian Ahli Parlimen terhadap beberapa isu yang dibawa terutama dari Najib, dirasakan amat tepat untuk dilaksanakan olih Kerajaan Muhyiddin tetapi sehingga kini belum lagi kedengaran bahawa pihak Kerajaan Muhyiddin akan melaksanakanya.

  19. Kenyataan terbaharu bekas Perdana Menteri, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad berhubung kegagalan PH untuk mengambil semula pentadbiran kerajaan Persekutuan daripada Perikatan Nasional (PN).

    Dr. Mahathir berkata, gerakan menumbangkan kerajaan pimpinan Perdana Menteri, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin telah diusahakan blok pembangkang dan kem Parti Pejuang Tanah Air (Pejuang) bersetuju untuk turut serta.

    Namun, katanya, Anwar tidak membenarkan penyertaan Pejuang dalam gerakan tersebut yang mana sebelum itu dicadangkan Dr. Mahathir memegang jawatan Perdana Menteri selama enam bulan sebelum melepaskannya kepada Anwar.
