Hello -
8 weeks had passed PRU12th; yet the frenzy political bickering on the election aftermath still on high note.
The PRU 12th spinoff had been full of anticipations and surprises to most – the losers as well the winners. Never before in the history of Malaysian Post Elections, had I seen political divide amongst politician in their respective party and components auguring an unassumingly political polemic far beyond the election campaign. Backbiting, finger pointing; witch-hunting has been the order, of the whole month. Firstly most BN leaders and supporters seemed not to be able to cope with the coalition unexpected loss, only they are gentlemen enough for not ‘labeling the election as fraud, commonly used by loosing political parties worldwide. Secondly PKR,DAP as well PAS leaders ardently positioned themselves as power crazy lots: recklessly and relentlessly perplexing their muscles, trying to scrap policies put in place by the previous government. In doing so they sometime crossed sensitive boundaries.
The election aftermath affected the nation tremendously. Never had I saw people from all walks of life joined in the political frenzy whenever they congregated with each having a few political telltale to contribute.
Rumors fill the air, spreading from words of mouths spurred by irresponsible postings from alternative media i.e the internet, telephone SMSes and from (what I termed as) ‘mosquito’ tabloids. They spread like wild fires, divulging in maliciously revealing, vindictive, nasty and cruel accusations pinpointing on certain sensitive issues that are close to the people’s hearts. Those (so-called) rumor mongers played to their gallery well with their spiteful concoction of tales continuously feeding the hungry ears of their listeners.
To the man in the street, Malaysian Politics has brought about telltale flip-plop fictional dramatic underscores. Much ado about nothing’. They saw claimants or those aspiring young Turks, relentlessly trying to prove their worth by maliciously accentuate spiteful accusations on other aspirants, even within the same party. Some brave enough demanding their tested leaders to step down, all in the name of politics.
Are they the true upcoming leaders of the people, or merely a band of hopefuls looking for better pastures in the name of (Malaysian) politics. To me they are neither a maverick nor an opportunist…..some even having the essence or quintessence of a scoundrel.
So who the true leaders are?
I had bear witness to all the country’s PRU as a citizen and a Public Servant. I had indirectly or directly involved in most of them. Right from pre Merdeka periods Malayan Politics had underscored its roles for the nation’s democratic way of government. Our independent fathers had successfully charted the way to nationhood vigorously rejecting unfitting doctrines and other influences not fit for the nation. We look up upon these leaders as icons, nationalist, and mavericks. They were the freedom fighters and compatriots who relentlessly championed the country as a free nation We adored them for their patriotism and esprit de corps within diverse political parties and racial associations. Together they diversified their efforts uplifting the spirits of nationhood in their struggles for independence. They came from all walks of life from royalties to the ordinary peasants. They are the leaders of the people and for the people. Their opportunistic leadership style on nation building has always been for the benefit of all.
Fifty years of Merdeka, Malaysian on the whole has become an affluent society. The road to nationhood had brought about vast opportunities for improvements on all. The well structured social and economic developments of the country rightly positioned the nation as a developed developing country. Also, fifty years of Merdeka, Malaysia saw the growth of its young populations by leaps and bounds. They are well educated lots. Most are computer savvy and very knowledgeable on Information Technology. They are the citizen of borderless world of today.
Now back to post-election frenzy.
PRU 12 unprecedented results has created political overture countrywide. Never before after May 1969 PRU, Malaysian Politic being put on the stand for citizen’s review. Political pundits are having field days analyzing Malaysian political stature. They took the trail to find out, ‘where do we go wrong.’ At the end of the day, no affirmative result concluded, except for some of their wildcat calls that the country should embark on this and on that.
The most interesting was the resolution adopted on the formation of The Council Of Malay Solidarity at a special Congress on Malay Solidarity in Johore Bahru 1st week May 08, spearheaded by GAPENA and attended by about 200 Malay NGOs. Its main aim to further Malay interests against what they view as challenges to KEDAULATAN MELAYU or Malay Sovereignty. That Malaysia’s existence is founded on the principle of KEDAULATAN MELAYU in opposition to ideologies such as “Malaysian Malaysia’, multilingualism, multiculturalism and religious pluralism, they claimed had become more prominent since the 2004 election. I agree if it’s a wake up calls for the Malays and ordering them to buck up. And to achieve we the Malays must afford a sound national political agenda to substantiate them. Have we?
On this issue the onus is on you – anak MELAYU.

Aiyaa here we go again. Balek balek, kedaulatan melayu. It's not kedaulatan melayu la Mr. The issue now is umno itself. The melayu inside umno is the issue. And read my lips, MELAYU IS NOT ALWAYS UMNO..
I totally agree with you saudara. Munkin U did'nt read my lips correctly when I wrote about the resolutions adopted by 200 Malay NGO's in JB.
"To be frank UMNO nowdays are of mixed blood. Not the bangsa Melayu that I used to grow up with."
Anyway thanks for the respond, and looking foward to hear more from you.
Iya lah. In Penang some did'nt even resemble a Malay.They speak their mother tongue (not Malay dilect) with their families, yet they called themselves Malays, and some even demanded to be known as Malays. Apa dah jadi ni......
Saya setuju saranan awak berdua.
TQ.
Why suddenly after 8th March some malays start whining about kedaulatan melayu? Why not before 8th March? Is it because of BN loss its political power?
Ketuanan Melayu has been a Malay Physhe since time immemorial. Only some of us did'nt notice or refused to accept.
Bagi saya yang penting 'maruah' keturunan saya. Jika keturunan saya Melayu, maka maruah saya adalah maruah Bangsa Melayu. Di Malaysia, bangsa Melayu rata-rata beragama Islam. Maka itu 'maruah' bangsa saya adalahlah juga maruah Islam, yang mesti saya pertahankan. Jika 'gembang gembur' politik kita mempersoalkan bangsa saya dan agama yang saya anuti, maka saya wajib mempertahankan 'maruah' saya itu. PRU12 memperlihatkan gejala tidak menghormati 'maruah' peribumi negara ini. Oleh kerana bangsa Melayu itu di iktiraf peribumi, maka isu ketuanan ditimbulkan. Melayu tidak akan biarkan bangsanya di kotak-katikkan oleh gulungan berketurunan lain....itu aje.
Bravo, very well said.
Kepimpinan PAS dan UMNO hendak bermuzakarah demi kepentingan dan perpaduan Melayu. Jujurke mereka, atau ini cuma 'wayang politik'. Jika benar Melayu ingin bersatu, yang penting niat baik dari keduabelah pihak dan ikhlas dalam apa saja tuturkata yang diungkapkan. Fahaman politik satau hal, perpaduan Melayu satu hal lain. Ego politik masing-masing tidak sepatutnya jadi penghalang pada perpaduan dan kesatuan bangsa Melayu.
Eloklah jika 2 gagasan parti Melayu ini ingin bermuzakarah. Pepatah orang tua-tua ada berkata,"CARIK-CARIK BULU AYAM LAMA KELAMAAN BERCANTUN JUGA," atau "BULAT AIR KERANA PEMBETUNG, BULAT MANUSIA KERANA MUFAKAT."
