'Umno's proxy wars have started in earnest. Kadir Jasin, Mahathir, Mukhriz...'
YOURSAY 'Umno's proxy wars have started in earnest. Kadir Jasin, Mahathir, Mukhriz and now Perkasa...'
Perkasa now attacks Najib on 'Allah' stand
Onyourtoes: Nincompoop Perkasa, please don’t flaunt about the Appeal Court decision. Christians have gone to the court fully aware of the odds stacked against them. They are now appealing despite the same circumstances they have to face.
Respect for minority rights is based on principle, conscience and political statesmanship. Otherwise, majority, number and power are always right. If you dare to declare that the composition of our courts is not the manifestation of political power and machination, then I would prefer not to argue further.
This 'Allah' issue is not a religious issue, you and I know. Even if it is due to religious reasons, I must say that holy god does not need the protection of the defiled man. This is all because of your dogmatism, domineering attitude and your false sense of entitlement no less than an extension of your ketuanan mentality.
Please bear in mind; respect for minority rights is not based on your grace and mercy or discretion. It is your obligation to respect differences and the rights of others to coexist with you with equality and dignity.
Anthony Chan: I believe these statements are just for show for the general rakyat. Perkasa always plays the ultra racist, while Dumno plays the not so ultra racist.
Then Dumno's prime minister and ministers meet their extreme demands in between and come away looking like the moderates and good guys. What Perkasa is doing is just what the old Pemuda Dumno had done in the past.
Armchair Newspaper: Umno's proxy wars have started in earnest. Kadir Jasin, Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Mukhriz Mahathir and now Perkasa have opened all fronts, from profligacy; rising costs of living to Christian and Chinese bashing. The intention is to evict PM Najib Razak. It's the deja vu of 1987 and Mahathir was the protagonist then; will he be the poltergeist in 2014?
Kamikasi: Najib will practically sign his death warrant if he goes against the will and the demands of the Malay groups like Perkasa and Isma. As the saying goes, play by the sword, die by the sword.
These groups' main interest is never about the unity and prosperity of Malaysia. If it's not an issue with the Chinese and the Indians, it would be with the Malays themselves. They play a crucial role in provocation and hate mongering to achieve their own or the master's agenda.
Perkasa is openly used by Dr M to undermine the PM now, something he has successfully used to create tension and fear among the races since May 13, 1969. He knows how to manipulate the Malay mind.
But that may come to a risky ending as the Malays start to question his motives and agenda, and the role of the Malay rights group. The groups, if they are challenged, will retaliate. Worse still if their source of funding (easy money) is at stake. That's how low they can go! Land of many possibilities! The PM needs to watch his back now.
Swipenter: This is Malay politics at play. The main plotters never show their hands. They use proxies and imagined external enemies to do their dirty work. There are plenty of them to make use of these days, ranging from individuals to Malay pressure groups and imagined external enemies like the Chinese to the Christians, and even animal like the pig depending on their target.
Najib is easy meat because of his baggage and skeletons in his cupboard. The puppet master will discard him at the right time of his choice.
Grraaawwwnnn: Perkasa Islamic affairs bureau chief ustaz Shamsuddin Moner, don't you read history, all other religions were in Malaya before Islam was introduced. Moreover, the word' 'A...h' is used worldwide by non-Muslims including the Arabs and other Islamic countries. With what you are saying, it is either the rest of the world's Muslims are wrong or you are just plain dumb.
Fair Play: It's crystal clear now that those within Umno who are being led by 'You Know Who'; and are hellbent on removing the PM. But sadly, 'You Know Who' should have realised that the PM is not without powerful options, such as power of incumbency, leading the group of moderate Umno lawmakers to form a unity government with the opposition coalition, etc.
When push comes to shove, the real losers are the extreme right-wingers within Umno and groups like Perkasa, Isma, etc.
Open Minded: This is payback time for Najib and his lot for allowing too much freedom to renegades like Perkasa, but trying to suppress a word. Which is more dangerous? Hope you can figure it out for our future survival.
Pemerhati: Umno uses many crooked strategies to win elections and stay in power and then steal billions. The strategies include: creating racial tension, gerrymandering, slandering and harassing the opposition by using the monopolised media, the lackey police, the lackey MACC and the kangaroo justice system, and by getting the lackey Election Commission to conduct fraudulent elections by allowing phantoms and foreigners to vote, etc.
Umno previously created racial tension by using cow and pig heads. Then they discovered that the Allah word was an ‘allah-send’ to create tension and polarisation and to impress and show the majority Malays, especially those in the rural areas, that they are protectors and champions of Islam.
Since as a result of massive and unfair gerrymandering Umno can now retain power by just getting about 15 percent of the popular vote from the deliberately created small constituencies in the rural Malay areas, Najib and Umno will continue to use the Allah issue for political gain.
Unafraid: It doesn't matter what these fanatics say any more. The majority of the rakyat, moderate Malays included, don't care what they shout and scream any more. They are persona non grata.
Only equally stupid and fanatical people pay attention to them. Unfortunately, there are such crazy folks around even in the leadership of the government. These people have lost their senses. Sigh... where are the moderate voices? Is there none left in the government?
SS Dhaliwal: Be careful what you wish for, the very creature you created called Perkasa is now turning against you, Umno.
Hplooi: The knives are out. The anointed one(s) are waiting patiently in the wings, keeping silent.
Single Malt: A cruel death awaits all those started racial and religious strife in the country. Performing umrah or haj will not help.
