Great Granddaughter of Tunku Abdul Rahman

1Malaysia or whatever you want to name it, call it !!!!!!!!!!!!! will never materialise unless we understand the TRUE meaning of it... ENGLISH Language is the universal language.......whether we like it or not, it's not not just about learning it, speaking it and writing it. Its about knowing what it MEANS, the exact meaning of what we SPEAK and what we WRITE.... What's the point of just shouting...when its not put in ACTION.

This young lady "Sharyn" has said it well. This is how it should be.

This is a very good article from a younger generation and a great granddaughter of Tunku Abdul Rahman. A very well expressed opinion of how all Malaysians should be treated.

IF THIS IS THE VOICE OF YOUR YOUNGER GENERATION IN MALAYSIA , YOU WILL BE BLESSED.

Sharyn completed her Diploma in Advertising from Taylor's College, and then left motherland to pursue her BA degree majoring in Media Studies and Anthropology at Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand. While waiting for her graduation in May 08, she interned briefly at M&C Saatchi Wellington, a global advertising firm. Upon returning to Malaysia, jobless and relieved of rent payments, Sharyn stumbled upon Wild Asia through The Star which sparked her interest to learn more about nature and environmental causes. Armed with a communications background, Sharyn works on the Wild Asia website and editorial, translating geek terms into laymen language, easily accessed and understood by visitors regardless of their backgrounds, be it scientific, business, the arts or just plain interested.

Both my parents are Malay. My mum's heritage includes Chinese, Thai and Arab, while my dad is Minangkabau. Due to my skin colour, I am often mistaken for a Chinese.

I'm happy that I don't have the typical Malay look but I do get annoyed when people call me Ah Moi or ask me straight up "Are you Chinese or Malay"

Like, why does it matter? Before I used to answer "Malay" but now I'm trying to consciously answer Malaysian instead.

There's this incident from primary school that I remember till today. Someone told me that I will be called last during Judgement Day because I don't have a Muslim name. Of course, I was scared then but now that I'm older, I realise that a name is just a name. It doesn't define you as a good or bad person and there is definitely no such thing as a Muslim name. You can be named Rashid or Ali and still be a Christian.

I've heard of the 1Malaysia concept, but I think we don't need to be told to be united. We've come such a long way that it should already be embedded in our hearts and minds that we are united. Unfortunately, you can still see racial discrimination and polarisation. There is still this ethno-centric view that the Malays are the dominant group and their rights must be protected, and non Malays are forever the outsiders.

For the concept to succeed, I think the government should stop with the race politics. It's tiring, really. We grew up with application forms asking us to tick our race. We should stop painting a negative image of the other races, stop thinking about 'us' and 'them' and focus on 'we', 'our' and 'Malaysians'.

No one should be made uncomfortable in their own home. A dear Chinese friend of mine said to me once, "I don't feel patriotic because I am not made to feel like Malaysia is my home, and I don't feel an affinity to China because I have never lived there.

I know some baby Nyonya friends who can trace their lineage back hundreds of years. I'm a fourth generation Malaysian. If I am Bumiputra, why can't they be, too? Clearly I have issues with the term.

I think the main reason why we still can't achieve total unity is because of this 'Malay rights' concept. I'd rather 'Malay rights' be replaced by human rights. So unless we get rid of this Bumiputra status, or reform our views and policies on rights, we will never achieve unity.

For my merdeka wish, I'd like for Malaysians to have more voice, to be respected and heard. I wish that the government would uphold the true essence of parliamentary democracy. I wish for the people to no longer fear and discriminate against each other, to see that we are one and the same.

I wish that Malaysia would truly live up to the tourism spin of Malaysia truly Asia. Malaysians to lead - whatever their ethnic background. Only ONE NATIONALITY MALAYSIAN.

No Malays, No Chinese, No Indians -

ONLY MALAYSIANS. Choose whatever religion one is comfortable with.

Remember it was Dr M & UMNO who destroyed Tunku's Malaysia.

IT COST A BIG PREMIUM TO LIVE IN MALAZUTLAND UNLESS YOU ARE THE PREVILEGED UMNO MALAY

I think everything he wrote is fact. Cannot agree more.


Yes, I think they are. What do I get for paying toll everyday?


Now I have to pay an extra RM50 for each credit card. For what?


Extra GST (goods and services tax). Again, how does that benefit me?

Look at the long list:

I have to pay for security guards because the police are hopeless.

I have to install filters because the water supply is dirty.
I have to watch satellite tv because the government broadcasts crap.

Many kids have to go for tuition or to private schools because the government schools are bad.

We have to pay IPPs (independent power providers) because the government cannot provide consistent electricity.

We have to pay Indah Water to clean up the sewers.
We have to pay tax on foreign cars because Mahathir wants to keep his dying local car industry alive. ON top of it APs cost bcoz of his cronies.

Most have to drive because the government cannot provide good public transport.

We have to pay to sustain the government's affirmative action policies.
We have to pay for private health care because the public hospitals are crowded .


All in all, we have to pay a PREMIUM to stay in this country!

1Malaysia Boleh!!!
DAMN!!!!!

IF YOU AGREE, PLEASE COPY THIS AND EMAIL TO EVERY ONE YOU KNOW

GUESS WHAT PAUL OCTOPUSSY CHOICE WOULD BE??

THERE MALAYSIANS

PLEASE START REARING MORE OCTOPUSSY SO WE CAN SINK THE BN SHIT DOWN TO DAVEY JONES LOCKER, IF YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS

DAVEY JONES LOCKER IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DEEPEST OCEAN

Musa Aman’s Tunship - has reluctantly agreed to step down as Chief Minister?

Musa Aman’s Tunship
> Posted: July 10, 2010
>
>
> Well, it looks like a done deal. In a deal struck between Premier Najib Tun Razak and Musa Aman during his recent visit to the state capital, Kota Kinabalu, Billionaire Musa Aman has reluctantly agreed to step down as Chief Minister of Sabah come this October.
>
> The deal is like this.
>
> Musa Aman will be made the new Sabah Yang Di-Pertua Negeri when the term of the present Sabah Yang Di-Pertua Negeri Tun Ahmadshah Abdullah ends year-end. Ahmadshah, who will turn 64, was appointed as Sabah’s ninth Yang Di-Pertua Negeri, replacing Tun Sakaran Dandai on Dec 2 2002, and its already 8 years for him or 2 terms as Governor of Sabah and “is on his last legs.”
>
> Second, the Government will consider a proposal to bestow an award carrying the title “Tun” for Musa Aman. Hence, Musa Aman will be bestowed by the Agung the title of “Tun” which will be the highest civilian honour that can be granted to a Malaysian and Musa Aman probably could be the youngest recipient of this award in the Malaysian history. This is in recognition for the good work Musa has put in for UMNO in Sabah and his contributions to the success of the Barisan Nasional in Sabah in the March 8 2008, 12th General Elections, which is described as a “fixed deposit” by Premier Najib.
>
> There are currently only 36 surviving Tuns in Malaysia and Musa Aman will be 37.
>
> With the Tun tittle to his name, Musa will be protected from any legal actions against him as a Tun will have legal immunity and cannot be prosecuted.
>
> So that’s the story.
>
> So who will be the UMNO leadership’s nominee for Sabah chief minister after Musa Aman? Of course none from its coalition partners in Sabah.
>
> Now lets take a look at the potential chief ministers and who are the chaps.
>
> Perhaps a man who is a minister in the federal government – and it’s surely not Najib’s loyal blue-eyed boy Datuk Shafie Apdal the Federal Rural and Regional Development Minister who is expected to replace Musa Aman. For Shafie to succeed on the job, his image would have to be cleaned up. He has been much maligned for the issuing of identity cards to Suluks and illegals from Southern Philippines. He probably is not what propaganda about him tells the masses. The talk is if Shafie becomes chief minister close to 150,000 illegals from Southern Philippines might be moving into Sabah’s forest reserves. The man displayed pro southern Philippines illegal immigrant killer instinct. He single-handedly will be turning Sabah into another playground of Muslim interests from Southern Philippines. So, Shafie is out.
>
> Although it’s still months away, there are already many hats in the ring. While Shafie Apdal the Najib’s loyal blue-eyed boy has made it clear he will not go back to state politics, other top leaders, including the Tuaran UMNO Division Chief Hajiji Noor who is also the Local Government and Housing Minister, Leader of Parti Bersatu Sabah and former chief minister Huguan Siou Joseph Pairin Kitingan, Karanaan Adun the Head of the Ranau UMNO Division Masidi Manjun who is the Minister of Tourism, Culture & Environment, and the senior UMNO man-Head of Papar UMNO Division Abdul Rahim Ismail are understood to be lobbying hard for the prized post.
>
> The hopefuls, except for Joseph Pairin Kitingan who is a cut above the rest, the rest of the lot it is believed, are busy at the mudslinging game. But for all you know, none of these claimants will make it.
>
> As the buzz has it, the party may opt for a senior leader who is the USIA (United Sabah Islamic Association) boss. Did someone say Lajim Haji Okim? Yes, Lajim Hj. Okim a Bisaya, the MP for Beaufort who presently is the Federal Deputy Transport Minister and used to be the Sabah’s Deputy Chief Minister at one time before Musa Aman came into the picture, and Pak Lah, the former Prime Minister, wanted Lajim out from the state and moved him over to Federal politics. Lajim Hj.Okim and Najib Tun Razak go a long way. Lajim was the mastermind behind the downfall of the PBS government, that brought UMNO to power in Sabah. This time around Lajim has been promised the Chief Minister’s seat. We shall see.
>
> The hopefuls, their careers are a study in contrast as some of them have never lost an election while others will hardly be victorious at hustings, like Hajiji for example, could hardly talk. One thing, however, that is common among the chief minister hopefuls is their “never say die” spirit. And those tipped to succeed incumbent Musa Aman have seen the rough and tumble of politics as well as life.
>
> It is understood that Premier Najib must name Musa Aman’s successor quickly to prevent lobbying.
>
> One Najib’s aide from Putrajaya went contacted said: “More importantly, we want to send a message to Sabahans that a young chief minister would bring dynamism to the state.”
>
> “The state needs to be forward-looking and having a fresh leader will certainly be part of rejuvenation and hope,” said the Najib’s aide.
>
> They say a week is a long time in politic but here we are talking about 4 months.The problem is simply stated. Politics is the art of shifting trouble from the living to the unborn.
>
> But Musa Aman still is a name to reckon with in Sabah politics and the wily politician still has the desire and determination to bounce back. And the only thing missing is perhaps what matters most-his credibility. Besides, his body appears to be finding it hard to translate his thoughts into action. A group of political observers now believe that the current spell of Najib’s rule may mark the beginning of the end of Musa Aman’s political career. His chances of becoming chief minister for the 4th time seem very slim now. Musa must be a sad man. Meanwhile, unmindful of the ideologies, Musa Aman will be planning his next move. The Aman’s chapter of political shenanigans is yet to see its end.
>
> Within about 3 months it will be clear as to whom Dame Luck will smile on, or if there will be another dark horse at the last minute like Musa Aman in 2003.

THE SINS OF MUSA PUSHTUNI AMAN CORRUPTED CM OF SABAH

Musa Aman "a dead man walking"

Many properties belonging to Yayasan Sabah (YS) has changed hands ever since Musa Aman has been sitting in the top heading the helm.
> The Sadong Jaya property changed hands. The former Sabah Bank block now Alliance Bank, this block stretches right up to Sabah Parks office in the Sinsuran area, in Kota Kinabalu, was sold for a song to Musa’s crony. The empty land behind Bank Negara also sold. The McDonald Drive-in SHELL station near the Innoprise Building next to Sabah State Assembly building facing Kingfisher park, also sold to Musa’s own saudara. The land opposite Chartered Bank , now Suria Sabah also sold. The Waterfront land, which was reclaimed, also belonging to Yayasan Sabah, has also been sold. These are just YS properties in Kota Kinabalu, there are a lot more in Sandakan, Lahad Datu and Tawau which has changed hands by just a stroke of Musa’s pen. So much more prime land and landed properties belonging to Yayasan Sabah and Innoprise has been sold to third parties linked to Musa Aman. In my coming article I would give details on how and who these properties were sold to, for a song, to third parties linked to Musa Aman.
> Barisan National and UMNO loyalists in Sabah cannot make moves or comment against Musa Aman as now by fault (not default) he is heading the helm. Due to mistake, passion or compassion, UMNO chose him in critical time 6 years ago. Just due to the existence of Musa Aman, BN and UMNO’s integrity is on stake. This is a tough time for BN Sabah as unwillingly they have to defend the integrity/legacy of UMNO and consequently Musa Aman. If BN is defeated, it will mean UMNO will be defeated and may lose its existence in Sabah once and for all. UMNO KL knows this and so does Najib.
> After Tan Sri Chong Kah Kiat, because of the “rotation system” and perhaps also with a view to gain Muslim votes, UMNO, specifically Pak Lah, agreed to put Musa Aman on the hot seat to lead the Sabah state government, but afterwards, they realized that they had to carry Musa Aman’s burden of alleged and much publicized corruption and scandals upon them and unwillingly they are doing it.
> I know several sincere and honest UMNO Sabah leaders have left the party because they cannot continue living two lives and keep a blot on their conscience but a few close, new and old stickers are still on. They keep on coming over media and keep their all time vague, unjustified, lame stances just to defend Musa Aman but with less than required vigor because they know they are beating around the bushes.
> In the broader sense, Sabah BN leaders are defending Musa Aman because their future political career is related with UMNO Sabah.
> Musa Aman becoming the head of UMNO Sabah was an accident and not by design. Or it may be termed as an accident which was caused by design.
> KL need to have ‘’stooges’’ or puppets to achieve their bigger plans in Sabah. If a stooge is corrupt and already void of any moral ground by default and specially when he is on a good political hot seat by design, then the task becomes amply simple. Legalize his illicit practices, design an immunity for him to provide him protection from the natural justice, place him on the highest echelon making him untouchable and get your work done. In very tough times of political instability, UMNO as a so called designer of the Malaysian new order, needed a reliable stooge in an important geographically placed state, Sabah, and Musa Aman was the man. He had money, some say close to US$ 3 Billion, he also had close links with Pak Lah and was able to feed the UMNO warlords. But when Najib took over he wanted his own man Shafie Apdal and so Najib decides to get rid of Musa Aman sooner than later by throwing the book at Musa Aman. The casualty is Musa’s Chinese timber cronies.
> Various CM’s from Sabah, has done the same thing. Initially, all CM’s including Pairin Kitingan, Tun Mustafa and even Harris Salleh was seemingly tough kids to become a stooge but then due to their fascination with power and money, they made few notable criminal mistakes. And to cloak the mistakes, to get a clean getaway, they all become balllickers or stooges of KL just like what Musa Aman is doing. But this time the balllicking is not working.

A Letter from a Chinese Malaysian Resident In USA

and our "MALAYSIAN" Government wants to woo MALAYSIANS back from overseas.......


Dato' Sri Mohd Najib Bin Tun
Haji Abdul Razak
Prime Minister of Malaysia,
admin@portal.gov.my

Dear Prime Minister,

We refer to the letter below from a Chinese
Malaysian for your information.

Would you like to comment, please?
We look forward to hearing from you in due course.

Yours respectfully,
Eddie Hwang

A Malaysian speaks up....


I am a female Chinese Malaysian, living in the
Washington DC area in the United States . I have read many of the letters
that often talk about foreign countries when the writers have no real
knowledge of actually living in those countries.

Many draw conclusions about what those countries
are like after hearing from someone else or by reading and hearing about
them in the media or after four years in a college town in those countries.


I finished STPM with outstanding results from
the prestigious St George's Girls School in Penang . Did I get a university
place from the Malaysian government? Nothing.. With near perfect scores, I
had nothing, while my Malay friends were getting offers to go overseas.

Even those with 2As got into university. I was
so depressed. I was my parent's last hope for getting the family out of
poverty and at 18, I thought I had failed my parents.

Today, I understand it was the Malaysian
Government that had failed me and my family because of its discriminatory
policies.

Fortunately, I did not give up and immediately
did research at the Malaysian American Commission on Education Exchange
(MACEE) to find a university in the US that would accept me and provide all
the finances. My family and friends thought I was crazy, being the youngest
of nine children of a very poor carpenter. Anything that required a fee was
out of our reach.

Based on merit and my extracurricular activities
of community service in secondary school, I received full tuition
scholarship, work study, and grants to cover the four years at a highly
competitive US university.

Often, I took 21 credits each semester, 15
credits each term while working 20 hours each week and maintaining a 3.5
CGPA. A couple of semesters, I also received division scholarships and
worked as a TA (teaching assistant) on top of everything else.

For the work study, I worked as a custodian
(yes, cleaning toilets), carpet layer, computer lab assistant, grounds
keeping, librarian, painter, tour guide, etc. If you understand the US
credit system, you will understand this is a heavy load.

Why did I do it? This is because I learnt as a
young child from my parents that hard work is an opportunity, to give my
best in everything, and to take pride in the work I do. I walked away with
a double major and a minor with honours but most of all a great lesson in
humility and a great respect for those who are forced to labour in
so-called `blue collar' positions.

Those of you who think you know all about
Australia , US, or the West, think again. Unless you have really lived in
these countries, i.e. paid a mortgage, paid taxes, taken part in elections,
you do not understand the level of commitment and hard work it takes to be
successful in these countries, not just for immigrants but for people who
have lived here for generations.

These people are where they are today because of
hard work. (Of course, I am not saying everyone in the US is hardworking...
There is always the lazy lot that lives off of someone else's hard work.
Fortunately, they are the minority..)

Every single person, anywhere, should have the
opportunity to succeed if they want to put in the effort and be accountable
for their own actions. In the end, they should be able to reap what they
sow.

It is bearable that opportunities are limited
depending on how well-off financially one's family is but when higher
education opportunities are race-based, like it is in Malaysia, it is
downright cruel for those who see education as the only way out of poverty.


If you want to say discrimination is here in the
US , yes, of course it is. Can you name a country where it doesn't happen?
But let me tell you one thing - if you go looking for it, you will find it.

But in Malaysia , you don't have to go look for
it because it seeks you out, slaps you in your face every which way you
turn, and is sanctioned by law!

Here in the US , my children have the same
opportunity to go to school and learn just like their black, white, and
immigrant friends. At school, they eat the same food, play the same games,
are taught the same classes and when they are 18, they will still have the
same opportunities. Would I want to bring my children back to Malaysia ?
So they can suffer the state-sanctioned
discrimination as the non-malays have had for over 50 years?

The injustice the non-Malay have to suffer in
frightening silence is the most damaging problem one has to face throughout
one's life. You just have to look at the mighty govt structures which
completely favours only one race, the Umno Malay.
The Chinese and Indians are treated no better
than the illegal Indonesians.
Racism and corruption are openly practised by
the Malay politicians everywhere, Courts, schools/Uni, police, govt
offices, contracts, GLC, NEP, ISA, local govt.
It's so powerful and intimidating that you walk
with fear and keep your mouth shut on anything and everything political.
Religion is taboo unless you talk good about Islam.

As for being a slave in the foreign country, I
am a happy 'slave' earning a good income as an IT project manager.

I work five days a week; can talk bad about the
president when I want to; argue about politics, race and religion openly;
gather with more than 50 friends and family when I want (no permit needed)
and I don't worry about the police pulling me over because they say I ran
the light when I didn't.

Have we seen the light at the end of the tunnel yet (Anwar Ibrahim)?
Or is it the head light of an oncoming Umno train ?

Lets hope its the former for the sake of all
fair-minded Malaysians.

The dream of a Malaysian 'race' in the future is
nowhere in sight with the present BN govt.
Where is Negara-Ku???

Wishes of a dying Priest?

In Kuala Lumpur an old priest lay dying in the hospital.

For years he had faithfully served the people of the nation's capital.

He motioned for his nurse to come near.

"Yes, Father?" said the nurse.

"I would really like to see Najib and the Muyhiddin before I die", whispered the priest.

"I'll see what I can do, Father", replied the nurse.

the nurse sent the request to Putrajaya and waited for a response.

Soon the word arrived; Prime Minister Najib and his Deputy PM Muyhiddin would be delighted to visit the priest.

As they went to the hospital, Najib commented to Muyhiddin ,
"I don't know why the old priest wants to see us,
but it will certainly help our images and might even get me all the Christian votes. After all, I'm 'IN IT TO WIN IT".

Muyhiddin agreed that it was a good thing.

When they arrived at the priest's room,
the priest took Najib's hand in his right hand and Muyhiddin's hand in his left.

There was silence and a look of serenity on the old priest's face.

Finally Najib spoke..
"Reverend, of all the people you could have chosen,
why did you choose us to be with you as you near the end?"

The old priest slowly replied,
"I have always tried to pattern my life after our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ."

The old priest continued,
"Jesus died between two lying thieves;
I would like to do the same."
