Mahathirism a.k.a. Racism

Malaysia longest serving premier is one that I used to respect because of his policies and successes in governing the country.

However, my little respect to him ended few days ago when he commented that Malaysian Chinese had taken away the little resources that the Malays has and had resulted the country 's National Economic Policy - NEP (that aimed to achieved 30% Bumiputras equity by year 2000) gone down to the drain after more than 39 years of implementation.

I felt ashamed on him being the ex-premier of Malaysian and with his statement, I dare to conclude that he had misused Malaysian trust on him and I guess during his tenor as PM, he could have tried everything that could prevent the non malay from achieving their political/economy objectives.

Based on his thought, I conclude that whatever that exist in this country are belongs to the Malays and when the non Malays get something from this country, it was the sacrifices made by the malay.

For what I know, he has been always the champion of the Malay rights ever since he retired as PM. However, just be concious, how many malays are benefited from the so call NEP. Its only UMNO cronies benefited from NEP.

The malay stays the rural or suburb area doesn't benefited from NEP that suppose to distribute equally the wealth of this country amongst the Malaysian. In contrary, most of the wealth had gone into his cronies pocket.

Fortunately he had stepped down since 2001 before he could demonise the pity Malaysian. Its is lucky as well, as not all the Malays subscribe to his taught. The Malay are now be able to analyse and identify their own problems. They start to realised that what UMNO championed doesn't really benefits them for the past 39 years and they would rather opted for a polictical change rather than be with rotten UMNO/BN goverment.

UMNO is just a machinery used by the politicion to implement/achieve what they like and NEW is a shield for them that prevent them to get expose. They can mobilised the country's resources as they like in the name of NEP/Malay including giving out of APs to cronies (with the objective of enhacing bumiputra unvolvement in the auto trading industry), quotas for the admittance to public varsities, awarding of contracts to malay contractors, etc etc.

At last, those benefited from the NEP are a very small fraction of UMNO politicians/goons and those who suffer are still Malay themselves because naturally they are economically weak due to the nature of their thinking that always prefer to live in a moderate way.

Mahathir vision to create racial hatred tamosphere will not get his way as peoples already bored with his dirty tactics in playing racial cards; his divisive approach to weaken the political parties amongst the BN component parties had seen successful all this while but his evil mind in making this country a failure will not come true.
