KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 1 - A Malay rights group is demanding MCA deputy president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek pay RM2 million in compensation for allegedly questioning the special position of the Malays.
Mohd Apis Johar from the Young Malay Graduates Movement (GGMM) said he was disturbed by remarks made by Dr Chua late last month, in which he said he accepted Malay leadership but not Malay supremacy.
"Before Merdeka, with a stroke of a pen, two million non-Malays were granted citizenship," the group's lawyer Khairul Azam Aziz told reporters.
He added that the money would be donated to any organisation interested in the advancement of the Malay community.
In its notice of demand addressed to Dr Chua, the lawyer who acted on behalf of Mohd Apis, also urged the former Labis MP to retract his statement an issue a public apology.
"The statement of apology must be approved by us on behalf of our client before it is uploaded to your blog," said Khairul Azam in the notice.
He added that they would proceed with legal action if Dr Chua fails to comply with his demands.
GGMM also wants everyone to stop questioning Malay supremacy.
Its spokesperson Nik Rizman Sapian said the group is not linked to any political party but merely interested in defending Malay rights.
"For those who question Malay rights as stated in the constitution, we will not hesitate to take action," said Nik Rizman.
Earlier, the small group, who were outnumbered by members of the media, marched from the Ampang Park LRT station to Wisma MCA to hand over the notice.
The notice was received by MCA official Yap Chin Chin, who said that she would forward it to the party's leadership.
Dr Chua's remarks on Malay supremacy has drawn criticism from Malay leaders including Umno Youth chief Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein who reportedly said that it would be better for BN component parties to join the opposition if they continue harping on the issue.
MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat has distanced himself from his deputy by saying the remark is not the party's stand.

I was at the World Aids Day gala at Berjaya Times Sq yesterday and the message is that AIDs do not recognise any races, religion or nationalities. One of the Malay singer even sang the song "Friends" in Cantonese and he joked with some malays there that they must be surprised that he can converse and sing in cantonese ! Come on, you are idiotic politicians, pls wake up and slap yourself in the faces, Stop all these nonsense.

It is disgraceful that there is a sub-segment of society that think that they are above others.
Tell you what Apis . . . If it only takes RM$2 million to "buy" our citizenship, will all you entitled idiots shut up about others being second class citizens?
How is it that it is OK for UMNOputras to question the rights of the minorities without reprecusions and when anyone else questions "Ketuanan Melayu", all you idiots get your panties in a twist? Besides the fact that none of you have been able to prove that the social contract and the concept of Ketuanan Melayu ever existed at the time of Merdeka and was the intent of the founding fathers!
So, let's try to think logically and based on principles of equality, equity and fairness that is customary of the 21st century, and not ideology that is reminiscent of the dark ages!
Truly, if these UMNOputras and their cronies harp on their entitlements and superior rights, the minority should really teach these idiots a lesson by abandoning this country en mass. Then, let's see who is superior over others!

Get real.
Just like you can't lock up the entire populace for asking for the ISA to be repealed, you can't bully everyone into silence.
People SHOULD question the status quo, because that is what got us where we are today.
Bullies are the same, no matter the race.

GPMM has always been linked to UMNO. If the UMNOs are ridiculing Hindraf's suit to the British government, GPMM did the same. 2x5. So, that is why I am not sure if they have the brain capacity to understand what their suit is about.

How are you paying the tax payers back ?
This is a side effect of racial policy used by some political parties. Do you see the Malays in Singapore march to the government and demand S$2million back from Singapore government ?
All of us need to move into first world. The act is too demeaning to mankind, nothwithstanding Malaysia citizens. I feel so 'malu' to be a Malaysians.

Only the almighty has the ultimate supremacy over all the humankind.
The remark given by Dr. Chua is a food for thought for a society like Malysia. Instead of asking for compensation or apology, conduct a public survey and opinion poll to know the public's verdict .
The winning of first African American to the presidency of United States of America has embarked the world into a new wave of thinking. So Oh Malysia, please wake from your slumber of your old ideologies and thinking before it is too late.Please be a generation of 21st Century.
By Chelvarzi, the New Millenium generation.

Malay Supremacy: Can you tell us where does Malaysia stands now? I think most UMNO members and Malay Champion takes this out of context. If the American were to preach on White Supremacy, Obama would have never elected to be a President! So, think before you ask for 2 million.
Look at what the so called Malay Supremacy has bring towards Malaysian growth... below Singapore in every growth. Wait... we are better than Singapore... we sent someone into space!

Supremacy has to be proven, geniuses is by birth... so which?? and neither is "by demand".
The right to question anything is the right of any Malaysian irrespective of race, religion and creed. I wonder what a Sabah Dusun and a Sarawak Kadazaan have to say? They become Malaysian at the stroke of a "pen also?"

In fact, 'Malay Supremacy' sound irritate to me, I prefer it to be changed as 'Bumiputera Special Right'. As you know, Bumiputera in Malaysia not only Malaysia, it is inclusive of other indigenous race such as Dayak, Kadazan and any other orang asli.
Of course, the content new version 'Bumiputer Special Right' could be a little different from the outdate 'Malay Supremacy', tat the former would treat every bumiputera fairly and in order to close the gap between other non-bumiputera.

The special position of the Malays refer to the Language, Customs and Monarchy of the Malays. Nothing about economic policies. This comes with the NEP post-1969.

Which court except perhaps a kangaroo couirt would sit for such frivalous charge. If they had just kept quiet, malaysians would not have known that they are so idiotic. Sad is that they have professioinals such as lawyers among htem.
Furthermore, if they have not disgraced themselves, they have disgrace the malay race and UMNO.

Hei, before mederka, only have “Raja Putih” or “Raja Melayu”, all common people are just “hamba”, whatever race they are called.
Before Mederka, even Malays are just “hamba”. There is only “Ketuanan” for the British in the Strait Settlements (Penang, Melaca & Singapore), Sabah & Sarawak, and for the “Sultans” in other states in the peninsula. And for 3 years in this land, the “Jepun” is the only “Tuan”.
“Merdeka” was fights by all peoples that are still “hamba” in this land that time, whatever race they were. But now, with the fights of our forefathers we are now Bangsa Malaysia. So now as Anak Mederka, we will not let any person or group to call them “Tuan”. WE, the MALAYSIAN are the only TUAN in this LAND.
If need the non-Malay Malaysian to pay for their citizenship. Than the Malay also have to pay for it. But, WE, all MALAYSIAN has paid by our undivided royalty and all due contributions for this beloved nation. I wonder all this called themselves “Graduates”, are that really graduated already, in a sense as Malaysian. Or, are they faithfully paying their due taxes for our country, or are they start to pay taxes already???

it is not the malay special rights that has been enshrined in the federal constitution that is being questioned
what is being questioned is all this talk of malay supremacy or ketuanan melayu - if this ketuanan issue is true, then all other non malay citizens of this country are what - 2nd and 3rd class citizens?
if that is the case, UMNO might just as well pass an act in Parliament to state so directly - need not hide behind this veil of social contract to impose supremacy over others

We do not understand and why all these politicians or groups continue to bring out all these issues.
The most importance now is a political party that can unite all people for the better and future of this country. If we all become united Malaysia will be a prosperous country, it is a win win situation. the government will also become very rich because the people will pay a lot of taxes when they are earning good income.
Why don't all these groups help to fight inflation, solve economic problems during challenging times.
If you are good the public or the country will bear fruit through your labor not for arguing something that and may not be important to the eye of public.
Let everybody be united with one voice and without border (no issue on race) and work for a better Malaysia.

Getting the independence was a collective effort, if it hadn't been the 2 million non-Malays in 1957, there wouldn't be a country called Malaysia.
GGMM, they surely fluncked their history.
Look at this Mohd Apa Johar, he only looks 10% Malay. If his demand has any remote chance of validity, he would have to chip in at least 90% of an individual isntallment.
MCA is a real disappointment, why entertained this bunch of monkeys! Should have just shu them away. Yet again, it was MCA, what am i expecting.
