Melayu Lawan Cina? Let us not be distracted by race or religion. Do not let the blood of our own people be the result of politically driven agendas that pits the Malays against the Chinese for the benefit of Umno leaders who are desperate to cling on to political power.

KUALA LUMPUR: A brawl between a group of dissatisfied customers and several handphone sellers this evening forced the Kota Raya shopping complex to pull down its shutters early.

It is learnt that the 4.30pm incident occurred when several customers, backed by a non-government organisation, went to the complex to seek a refund from several sellers who had allegedly cheated them.

A representative of the group Roslan Ismail told Harian Metro that a heated argument started when one of the business operators behaved rudely and tried to chase them out.

"We came here to help the cheated customers, and not to create any trouble.

"But chaos ensued when one of the sellers acted rudely. He even tried to chase us away," he said.

Roslan claimed that so far, only one of the victims had managed to get a refund.

He said there are many other victims, and they will continue to seek justice for them.

Let us first get things into perspective. What happened at Kota Raya is a brawl between a group of dissatisfied Malay customers and several Chinese hand phone sellers which forced the Kota Raya shopping complex to pull down its shutters early. 

The facts of the matter is immaterial! 

If it was not about hand phones it will be about Islam and Christianity, about the DAP and Umno, about the Malays losing their "maruah" or dignity because the Chinese are not grateful for all the sacrifices of the Malays in giving them right of abode many years ago when we first became Merdeka....or it will be about the Chinese not respecting the rights of the Bumiputras to do this or do that....it can be about the seizure of a deceased "declared a Muslim" from their love ones who are non-Muslims for a Muslim burial, it can be about the Hindus being disrespected by Malays trodding upon a cow head considered sacred by them or as we have seen at Memali it can be about Malays killing Malays because of politics. 

Nobody is safe from these "attacks" on their personal self, their families or their religion. 

Not even an ex Deputy Prime Minister who was beaten up by the IGP because the IGP acted with impunity without regard for the rule of law and common decency presuming that under the Umno led government then led by Mahathir, he would be commended not condemned for what he did to Anwar Ibrahim!

So you see my friends the Malays, the Chinese the Indians or any other Malaysians can be the victims of these kind of inane racially, religiously or politically motivated abuse, persecution and attacks that can not only caused bodily harmed but even death!    

Death you say? 

Yes death....remember Kugan, Teoh Beng Hock and Aminulrasyid? And do not forget the these atrocities are perpetrated upon Malaysians without gender bias! 

Remember the unarmed Norizan Salleh who was shot five times by the police? Two shots hit her arm and wrist, another hit her chest, causing uncontrollable bleeding. As she crawled out of the car, unarmed and pleading for help, she was kicked and stomped on by the police until her rib cages broke!

These are the realities we live with today! Nobody...no one can feel safe. 

This Umno led Barisan National Government and the government agencies and authorities under its instructions not only condone these kind of attacks and persecution upon Malaysians but this Umno led BN government is the source and reason for these kind of inane, politically, racially and religiously motivated attacks because they intend to divide and rule and weaken our people through these contemptable and odious means. And the actions of their leaders, from the prime minister down - contribute, condone and encouraged these kind behavior by PDRM, the religious authorities and any other agencies and authorities under the instructions of this Umno led BN government. They are nothing more than a bunch of bullies, thugs and robbers who physically intimidate its own Rakyat while robbing them blind at the same time.

For those of us who have seen our country already brought to its knees from the excesses of this odious Umno led BN government, what happened at Kota Raya is merely another page of what Najib Razak and his bunch of thugs and robbers intend to deliberately do to our nation - divide and rule our nation in order to continue their plundering and pillaging of it. 

Kota Raya, MARA Digital, Bauxite Mining in Kuantan, an IGP who sees nothing wrong in his officers attending anti-Christian seminars, a prime minister who pockets a RM2.6 billion donation meant for Umno.....all these are merely manifestations of this "Najib Razak led BN government" disease which can prove terminal to you and me if we do not say "enough is enough!".   

Let us not be distracted by race or religion!

If a customer was cheated at Kota Raya then let the relevant government authorities deal with it. If the government wants to help Malays with MARA Digital then let it be a commercial driven exercise to help the Malays and not to win political points for Umno. 

Do not let the blood of our own people be the result of politically driven agendas that pits the Malays against the Chinese for the benefit of Umno leaders who are desperate to cling on to political power.

Enough!

Race, Religion and the elections...

The next time some one tells you that PR will surely win the next General Election you must tell them that it can only happen with their help. Do not let the euphoria of victory in 2008 lull you into that comfort zone that tells you that PR will win and wipe BN off the map of politics in Malaysia. It is easier said then done. The GE was five years away once…it is now one or two years away at most. Soon the years will become months, the months will turn into weeks and then the weeks into days. …..and then the election will be upon us! 

In between then and now we must prepare ourselves to meet BN at its most desperate. Desperate enough to irresponsibly include race and religion into their arsenal of weapons to fight Pakatan Rakyat. Desperate enough to fill the jails to the brims with their enemies – real or perceived. Desperate enough to legislate friends into enemies and then have the audacity to equate any opposition to UMNO to that of being a threat to National Security. Desperate enough to do any deal pay any price and seek any way to wreck havoc within the ranks of PR just as long as they can stay in power. They are doing this now as we breath.

Just the thought of an UMNO without power would stampede its odious elites into spasms of fear and dread at punishment awaits them for having abuse the power given to them by the people. Not all of them can afford to live overseas or flee for sanctuary abroad where money can buy you time and a place to call home.

The large majority of UMNO members can do nothing but wait for the inevitable. How UMNO will make use of their members to try and hold on to power would be interesting to watch. All it would take is the call to defend Race and Religion to drive these members into a frenzy of mindless acts and physical mayhem if they are driven to believe that by doing so UMNO will still have power and go on with their merry ways of plundering our national coffers.

Think May 13^th, think Memali. Think of the many Malays, Chinese or Indians who feel themselves wronged for whatever reasons and are just waiting for an opportunity to right that wrong! Think of the many racial and religious incidents that have been happening around our country whether it is by the Malays, Chinese or Indians. Mad men killing people because they are of a different race and follow a different religion. Do you not think that a desperate UMNO will not resort to consorting with lunatics if these lunatics would allow them to cling to power? They think nothing of using trained and disciplined UTK personals to eliminate Altantuya. Kugan was Police murder.

Teoh Beng Hock was taken and flung out of a window for God knows what reason by MACC - under whose biddings?. With money and power you can always find lunatics to do your deeds however foul. And we know what UMNO has done in the past when they have power. The thought of what they will do if they think they will lose that power fills me with dread.

Of what concern are the lives of a few thousand Malaysian if by their death these UMNO vultures can keep the billions they have plundered from the nation and keep the power that will give them more billions. After all they are not doing the killing. No need to turun padang for this.      

For now they do not even bother to hide behind vague words or deeds. Najib offering million of our money to the people of Sibu to buy their votes. This is corruption pure and simple and they have the gall to say it is not?

Taib and his Rolls Royce claiming Sarawak as his own....not only acting as a Sultan but with the money to live as one. 

They no longer hesitate to do these wrongs even when the people know. They are past caring – what matters is the outflow of money into their pockets and their hold on power. For the non-Malays most of them know that they are not thought of being worthy enough by the BN government to be treated equally with the Malays. When that is done these non-Malays know their own country have been taken away from them. Because you have no country when the country you call home is no longer welcoming of you. Just as they legislate friends into enemies through the ISA they also legislated other races into second-class citizens. And so they leave to go to another country that treats them better....much to the joy of UMNO....until UMNO realized the costs to the country and wants them back! 

Let us sit back and watch these UMNO and BN actors play out their last act. Let us listen to what they say and do and take it for what it is. The antics of desperate people playing out the last episode of their depraved life. If you feel compel to put them out of their misery be careful lest they are able to still harm you with their final few cut and thrust of their already blunt swords. I say to let them drown themselves by their own deeds as they wade further away from the shores into deeper waters thinking that the deep holds redemption and hope for them. Like the fall of the Roman Empire, like the last days of Idi Amin, Marcos and Saddam, like the final act of Hitler let history have the final say in UMNO’s history. History will not be kind to them. Neither will we and I for one will claps my hands with happiness and laugh with joy when UMNO and BN are out of our lives. If you can strike at them covertly in whatever way and be sure that you will not be harmed in retaliation - do so. If you can assist PR in their journey to power and a hopeful future do so. For now the least you must do is to keep the anger burning within us.
