It's Too Late to Apologise

It's too late to apologise. Really, it's too late.

I was listening to the song composed by One Republic, whilst reading a piece of article on The Stars, about the recent racist remark by Ahmad Ismail. (Don't know who is him? Yea, he shouldn't be that well-known after all..^^)

Never mind, as a responsible and rational blogger, I think I should talk about him a little. Well, he is nothing more than a typical inconsiderate and brainless politician. An UMNO leader(is he one?)-Bukit bendera UMNO chief.

He made a statement on Aug 23, (I am not putting words into his mouth), that the Chinese are squatters or immigrant or pendatang . Then, he disappeared in thin air. When he came back, he tried to deny his words, by giving an unreasonable excuse-that the statement is made merely because he is pointing out the status of the Chinese during pre-merdeka period.

However, maybe he has forgotten about this. Let me do the job of reminding him. Our country has just celebrated the 51st National Day on Aug 31. All the races have walked through hard and happy times for half a century. Wonder why would he mentioned something long time ago? (Weird, huh?)

And now, after stating a such controversial remark, he doesn't even plan to say sorry, but instead,he points his fingers towards the media. From here, we could see, he is hardly a leader, or even a responsible normal being.

While all the politicians are trying their best to overcome the racial problems, inequalities of sharing in economy and education, and public resentment, this man is ruining up everything by just using his words.

How could UMNO still accept his apology, oh no, i forgot, his "well-prepared" and "nicely-phrased" explanation, I should say. This is totally ridiculous. Frankly speaking, from pre-merdeka period until now, the Chinese is the pillar of our nation economy. Without the Chinese, Malaysia economy might still stagnate, and at the most deal with the lembu and kerbau, or the bayam and ubi.

I really couldn't figure out why he would make such a nonsensical and meaningless statement. To gain support from the radical Malays? To be well-known for the coming General Assembly of UMNO?

This is just a person's remark. It has raised up the dissatisfaction and anger of the Chinese. And how about, BTN(Biro Tatanegara)? Have you heard before?

Well, BTN is an organization or more precisely a governmental department. It's role is to brainwash our young brilliant brains(I mean the JPA scholars) before they leave for overseas.

For your information, i received an email of a resentful mother sharing about what's her daughter undergoing while attending the JPA briefing.

The bumi-s and the non-bumis are separated during the briefing session. They will tell the scholars that the non-bumis are merely immigrants (they seem to have forgotten that the Malays are actually from Yunan province as well). The non-bumis should be thankful and be contented of having the rights to earn a living on this land-Malaysia. A land where we now begin to doubt its maturity level of thinking and the advancement level it can reach by 2020.

They were even being told that they shouldn't complain about the ratio of 90:10 for the JPA Overseas Scholarship. They shouldn't agree with the proposal of opening 10% of the seats for non-bumis in UiTM.

Every year there are thousands over students being brainwashed in such a ridiculous way. And, there are thousands more to come next years. The government should realise about this and the consequences of getting this going on. But, any action has been taken?

As usual, none at all.

How are we going to expect our nation to become the economy and education hub of Asian regions when many out there are still living in the lullaby entitled "Ketuanan Melayu"?

What can we foresee in the next 10 years? A developed nation as promised? or a nation devastated by some wrong perceptions or ideologies uphold by the radical ones?
