The Malaysian Insider

How about "stern action" against the Mat Rempit, illegal foreigners, snatch thieves, rapists, murderers, robbers, drug lords, etc ? Get your priorities right. Why so upset over such comments if they are not true ? Democracy is where everyone is entitled to their opinions and statements. If you think such remarks are "seditious" and offensive, how about the comments by the Penang mad dog, Toyol, KJ, Awang Selamat, the various good for nothing "gabungan2" ? Who no action ? Straight open hypocrisy. All the sensitiveness about NEP is based on the worry that some people will miss their shares which they have enjoyed for decades.

hey, what about Awang Selamat, Kerismudin?

Once a hypocrite, always a hypocrite.

Double standard.

Dear Kerismuddin,

If you said is not same as APARTHEID, then explain and justify it. Dont stop people from expressing their own views.

You also raised the Keris !

apa ni

ini tak boleh itu tak boleh

Umho ni sapa?

The chinese and indian communities in malaysia have tolerated and suffered in silence from this keris welding stupid moron who spew racist hate at the drop of a hat. It is not for you mr. kerihamudin,to tell us that we are not living in aparthied, it is a glaring fact that we are treated as such by umno bn (especially you!) that have brought about the ramification to your racist party in the last GE! Have the guts to face the truth and stop threatening malaysians of different skin colour and faith!

Hei brother don't over react (steadylah sikit) give space for free expression for all Malaysians to express their views in a democratic way to all policies effecting all Malaysians. Their views are feed back to the government which will help the government to help all malaysians irrespective of ethnic background to improve the livelihood of all Malaysians and to make the nation a strong and progressive country. No one will be left behind and all Malaysians will be united and we are proud to be Malaysians first.

Non bumis have been victims of institutionalized apartheid for 40 years. And now kerismuddin wants us not even to talk about what we have been through? The cheek. Wish he was at the receiving end of discrimination for once and see how he whines.

Helloooooo Mr Keris warrior, if the hat fits wear it!!
Why are the Ketuanan UMNO Melayu so ashamed to be compared to the white boers' apartheid policies?
It is very painful to face the truth, is'nt it?

WHY NOT? What is the difference Mr Home Minister?

The Utusan is instigating daily.
Awang Selamat is having a gala time, instigating.
Home Minister somehow cannot see this?
Because he cannot read Malay language?

Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein is nowhere near the shadow of his dad.
In fact this Home Minister is an insult to his dad.

If you have ground, arrest them, but if you don't, please shut up.

Hisham is the most abhorrently arrogant and intimidating charactor of UMNO.

Whichever minister he went, you had brought nothing but distruction.

Look at what happened to Education ministry, even someone as dong-headed as Muhyiddin is complaining about how messed up our education system is.

Muhyiddin should have confronted Hisham on the devastated stage of our education.

Why should he has the sole right to interpret any policy?

The voters must decide, enough is enough, these gangsters.

I just did a quick research on apartheid and finally get a clue of it. No doubt, we are a multi-racial country, but the policy that was introduced, is very much race-based.

So our dear home minister, please before you start sending out your people to arrest people clad in black, or drinking teh tarik, or holding candle, be clear of what you trying to say. Having harmony and achievements is a different point to the country practising a race-based policy.

As always, when they can't explain or rebute the challenge, they will resort to action. I almost forgotten, justice never really exist in bolehland. Sad case. Go find out and see for yourself.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_of_apartheid

tell me which chapter of your holy book says racism is acceptable? Enlighten me please!

I give one example, rich Malays can get 5% discount for buying property under BN race-based policy.

Can someone tell me if this is not apartheid, then what is apartheid?

This is another brainless minister....talk much....you supposed to lose the UMNO vice president until the last minute order by his beloved cousin Mr PM Najib to UMNO ketua bahagian...this Keris guy must win...and now handling the Internal affair portfolio to ensure all the secrets are well kept....go and arrest Awang Selamat lah...or perhaps that is him (Mr Keris)..ooppsss....sorry...i may be arrested...

Hisham

My friends from South Africa, both those who suffered under as well as benefited from Apartheid in South Africa tell me that the affirmative action policies of the UMNO led government are apartheid in nature.

You, sir, surely cannot possibly know what Apartheid really meant. these people do. I would think they are better at defining and deciding what is and what is not Apartheid.

So, you tell me sir, am I to take your words or definitions or am I to take theirs?

Try to use professional views and make sure it doesnt sound arrogant because people wouldnt like it, Mr.Hisham. Dont do the same mistake done previously, follow the steps of our prime minister Najib Razak and Tun Mahathir. They are successful. Try to be a good folower before you can be a good leader. This message is to all people representatives. Be more polite and decent. Thank You!

Malaysia do not belong to all Malaysian and not any sible race so we deserve equal treatment if our PM want to be like Obama ?

Are you telling us there is No way other than Malay cannot be Prime Minister ?

This guy is having "Inferior Coplex" c/w Shallow mentality , only know how to shout to his top voice with Kris holding in hand resemble more than a barbarian than a UMNO youth chief.

Display your maturity rather than your stupidity everytimes you talk and please talk sense.

NEP is for Malays , what about others poor Bumiputra in Sabar and Sarawak ?

Please stop hiding behind status of "BUMIPUTRA" while trying to deceive Malaysians.

Please also don't try to use the word Bumiputra when actually it is only for Malays of UMNO only.

Hisham, I was comparing being gay to being happy, but obviously since you agree that minorities can be subject to any discriminatory acts, I propose that keris waving gays be forced to walk around with a keris up their anal cavity. Typical UMNO Moron with Mat Rempit infection, resorting to threats when logic fails!

Than prove to us this is not apartheid policies, no point getting into rethoric argument, its only reflect lack of leadership quality in Hishamudin. Don't just talk, show us the changes and transformation that must take place to serve all Malaysian and the country should be govern with one race power and interest alone..

We want to see a transparent, equal for all and fair governing nation, not any nation that belong to any race or little Napoleon. No more racial politics, we are Malaysian.

It is certainly improper and unbecoming of a Minister to warn people not to compare “Bumiputra policy to apartheid”. Hisham should know that warning itself cannot stop what people have in their mind. His explanation is vague and self-righteous with a tint of arrogance characteristic of an UMNO minister (I-told-you-so) and not a minister of 1Malaysia.

Explain, please, in a more coherent way why "Bumiputra Policy" is not apartheid. In fact, I tend to agree with you why "bumiputra policy" is not apartheid. But having said that, it doesn't mean that some UMNO leaders do not deviate from the original objectives of "Bumiputra policy", and, knowingly or unknowingly, make it more like apartheid. This is actually the main problem. Therefore, your warning without explaining it properly, I'm afraid, will only consolidate the group who would like to turn "bumiputra policy into apartheid.

Apartheid is a more sinister policy aimed to TOTAL RACIAL SEGREGATION and using LAWS to uphold the supremacy of a particular race, which is a tiny minority, and DEPRIVE the majority, the poorer group of another race, of all aspects of human rights, not only the right to vote and the right for equality and justice but also the right to work, to housing, to education and to all social amenities. This is apartheid.

The Wikipedia gives, in part, this definition: "Racial segregation in South Africa began in colonial times, but apartheid as an official policy was introduced following the general election of 1948. New legislation classified inhabitants into racial groups (black, white, coloured, and Indian), and residential areas were segregated by means of forced removals. Blacks were deprived of their citizenship, legally becoming citizens of one of ten tribally based self-governing homelands or bantustans, four of which became nominally independent states. The government segregated education, medical care, and other public services, and provided black people with services inferior to those of whites."

I don't think "Bumiputra policy" or the way Malaysia is run at the moment, even tough by UMNO is not a partheid. The DAP MP has been mischievous, most likely trying to woo non-Malay votes irresponsibly.

It is the duty of all, including Hisham and UMNO, to see that the "Bumiputra policy" would not degenerate into apartheid.

BN politician should stop using the word Bumiputra. 52 years after independent BN still hide behind the race for political survival, it is infact suicide to BN. Look at Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam even philippine do not separate its citizen into 2 class.

Only those who think there are not pure malays from malaysia need to use the race card.

Almighty ALLAH will punish Corrupted UMNO!

Insya ALLAH!!!

Yes, agreed with Kerismudin. This is not apartheid but (very similar to apartheid). Thank you so much the Umno lead goverment kind enough to give those non bumi to cast vote, thank you so much and we should be graceful for UMNO lead goverment allow us to make our living in malaysia.

All of us should keep our mouth shut and always be thankful to the goverment. So those moron will continue to corrupt our money.

May be we should nominee kerismudin for NOBEL PEACE PRICE. Thank you again Kerismudin. Thank you.

Yes. PLEASE explain why it is different. This need dialog and not police brutality.

If it is like apartheid then it is apartheid. What about you that u raised the keris and the PM who wow to dip his dagger in chinese blood.

Like cousin, like cousin. Cannot say this, cannot say that, cannot mention Altantuya, cannot say Malay and Bumiputera affirmative policies are like apartheid policies. What Keris really means to say is, don't say you can see through us.

Indirect apartheid disguised under another term is worse as its not considered a problem and can be pushed under the carpet as in this case.

You all daon't laa make him take out the keris again....

how about,,those racial,,arcticle,,the utusan melayu,,wrote,,,thye are worse,,off,than this little matter,,go after,,awang,,selamat,

Kerismudin ini sama saja dengan pemimpin pemimpin Afrika Selatan semasa zaman apartheid, seluruh dunia faham apa erti itu apartheid tapi hanya Afrika Selatan waktu itu mengatakan apartheid adalah system yang sah di bawah undang undang waktu itu, sebab itu bukan diskriminasi.

Rakyat tidak menentang kerajaan membantu rakyat yang perlu di bantu, rakyat menentang pemimpin pemimpin kerajaan KUMNO mempergunakan system diskriminasi sekarang untuk buat mereka sendiri kaya, rakyat yang perlu di bantu tidak di bantu, itu yang buat rakyat tidak puas hati.

Come-on la, keris-muddin. Please show some courage to admit that la, anyway, it's a fact.
A country with diff categories of citizenship is called apartheid la, what else, u nerd.

Dont be a coward and hypocrite, u can treat non-bumi whatever u wan, with what ever unfair policies because u r still the ruling party. Just have the courage and balls to say: "yes, this is bolehland, u r living in our land, so, u need to adhere to our unfair rules.

Anyway, where's your short light-saber? Come-on la, show us again la.

Hisham, if a speech by Dr Boo can disintegrate the racial harmony of this country then UMNO has achieve nothing in the last 50 years in terms of race relation. Instead of threatening Dr Boo, why not have an open debate with Dr Boo and let the rakyat decide.

The rakyat are well read now and won't be easily swayed by empty talks. If Dr. Boo talks rubbish, he'll not be elected the next time around. So, please stop threatening the citizen of the country. You should welcome their opinions and learn why they think so. Maybe after 50 years, UMNO have not achieve enough in terms of racial integration.

What is this? A person with speech is more instigating than the person with keris? So far, UMNO has been threatening anyone who speak against them with ISA, Sedition, and Criminal Defamation while those protested with serious physical threats such as the drama at Karpal Singh's office as well as the rowdy Penang Ahmed and his gangs are off the hook.

If the idiots in MCA, MIC, Gerakan, and PPP do not see a problem with this disparity in treatment by UMNO which suggests a deterioration of democracy in Malaysia and the bleak future of our children, they are either mental retards or acted merely in their own selfish interest. Either case, they are not deserving of the support of Malaysians for as long as this lack of morality and compassion toward the hardship of people persists.

Hisapmudin, don't try to threaten, you think you are sitting next to GOD and do whatever things you like, abusing your power? Your bloody UMNO goons kept raising racial issues and you are all dumb about it. Come next GE we'll throw you out and into the dungeon...just wait and see. You are not fit to govern because you are not transparent, you are bias, unethical..etc and all the negative things one can think about.

Be cool Datuk Seri Hishammuddin. It seems to me it is more like a case of 'siapa makan cili dia akan rasa pedas'. If there's no truth to Dr Boo's statement, then it may not prevail.

biggest mistake of UMNO ,, granting citizenship to ....

Talking through his ass again kerishamudin! This incompetent idiot did nothing right as an education minister, shouting racist slur to gain support in the guise of fighting for malay rights. He is garbage and will always be remembered as garbage in history as the most vile racist in Malaysia! We the voters will not vote for racist like you what are you going to do about that, moron?

Let admit it. BUMI is referring the all mighty UMNO Malays only.

Does the orang asli like the IBAN, Kadazan, bidayu or even the normal malay etc benefited? These people are conveniently classed as non-bumi too.

Indeed I have to agree with DAP on this one. the system stinks.
Hisham, u are not a racist and well educated. The question is whether u got the will power to fix a very deep rooted rotten system.

Twisted logic again: just because Msia has been blessed with peace and interracial harmony since the crisis in 1969 does not mean that the NEP was responsible for it.

In fact, we thrived socially in spite of the NEP regime. Except of course for the economy, which had been drained of its vitalism judging by the fact the FDI is declining and foreign equity investors have been sellers of the Msian market for many years.

Hisham's statement is like similar to the distorted logic of saying since China has thrived under Communism, Communism is good for China. If that is true, then we all developing countries should become communist and tyranise the people with lack of freedom of speech/religious belief, etc. while giving them economic freedom to be rich.

The NEP is not so bad as apartheid bur similar. Its policy is to ensure the easy life of a particular race or groups. Can we not say that it is quite similar? What is wrong, if that is our perceptions? Are we to keep quiet and pretend nothing is wrong or to live as a second class citizen because one immigrated to this land later then the first?

If we are not free to high light any discrepancies and problems , how are we to tackle them and progress? If we are not willing to listen and solve any problem, then we have to live with it. This is not good for the nation and in the end there will be confrontation that leads to waste.

He should stop harping on whether NEP is like apartheid - of course it is similar in that only some cronies (the minority) in BN reap all the benefits.
Once they admit that we practise apartheid in disguise, they will lose all the golden eggs like contract awards, APs etc.
Let the BN keep their NEP ideas - we only need to vote them out to persuade them of the error of their thinking.

If Bumiputera policy by BN is different from apartheid, why should people comparing them, and why Hisham cries for not comparing. Ther must be some similarity, then people can compare the two system.

Kerismuddin claimed Boo's statement alone can destroy racial unity? What about Utusan's reporting?

Or raising your keris? Setting up a lousy example. The problem with this country is that the wrong candidates ending up in the wrong posts.
