Nazrin to Malays: Stop finding faults

Posted by admin

Tuesday, 14 July 2009 18:27

(Malaysian Mirror) IPOH - It is obligatory for the Malays to make efforts to unite to build human capital in the spirit of a common race and religion, said the Raja Muda of Perak, Raja Dr Nazrin Shah.

In his speech entitled 'Islam and the Malays: the Muslims' Human Capital' at the Muslim Intellectuals Discussion 2009, here today, he said loyalty to a cause that was noble and holy should be given more importance than loyalty to the individual or group.

"Be realistic - be governed by reasoning. Spread the spirit of friendship - believe in the spirit of forgiveness. Malay is your race and Islam is your religion," he said.

Major challenge

Raja Dr Nazrin said the Malays today were facing a major challenge concerning identity, integrity, status and survival of the race.

"The number of Muslim Malays is small. The number of Muslim Malays with knowledge, who are professionals, rich, possessing the qualities of towering personality is even much smaller.

"The separation of the Malays and Islam in differing groups, who are being led by personalities who refuse to meet with one another, will certainly weaken the Muslims even further," he said.

The Raja Muda said the current political culture had created a new obsession, the emergence of a group culture, promoting the belief that loyalty to the group must be given priority above the survival of the ummah.

Finding faults and weaknesses

He said the Muslim Malays would eventually be trapped in the race to find faults and weaknesses among themselves which would weaken the race even further.

"As a result, the human capital of the Muslims became weaker. How many more of them are prepared to become opera actors, wear the Muslim and Malay masks, to ridicule the ummah - dupe the community to fulfill their own desire," he said.

Here we go again with that "it's a Malay problem" thingy.

Say Tuanku, what happened to the rest of the "Malaysians"?

Then again, I do remember you telling into Nizar's ear, that the Perak Constitution issue is "not my problem".

So, are you, really worried bout the condition of the Malays? Cos if you are, then you would have banged table and shouted, "Why the hell did Najib take away the studying of English for Maths & Science?!?" Cos it's the poor Malays student who is going to suffer; somehow, the Chinese & the Indians have learned to survive in this globalised era. Don't just take my word for it. Just peruse any of the Job Application Letter from say, a UITM student, and you'll be able to comprehend how bad the command of the language is amongst our local Malays grads.

And the best you can come with is, "the Malays to make efforts to unite"?

Sheesh. Are you "encouraging" the PAS-UMNO "unity" talks?

Nonsense.

Did you take new drugs to tell us what should we do? Do you remember how you aided one Malay group against another in Perak? Do you remember how you actively supported one Malay group to humilate another? Do you remember how you stood still while one wrong Malay group wronged another innocent Malay group? I guess you call that unity? Sir, the days you and your father were listened to have ended. I swear by God they ended. I'm a Malay and I will listen to Samy Vellu than I would listen to you. Spare us your hypocricy and shenangians.

The speech by that no good prince from that no good royal family is encouraging racial polarization .
In short , he is totally backing the ketuanan melayu, NEP , social contract ( if it exist ) and using the Islamic religion as a mask.
Nazrin , the time is ripe for you and your father to be in a museum.

After Perak's disgraceful episode, you should just shut up, the least the people hear from your lecture, the lesser it will remind them how you and your father double crossed the people of Perak!!You have taken me by surprise by your indifference towards the lawlessness of the police, the wayward behavior of those who called themselves judges!!!

Is it a tall order for you, as the prince to put your foot down to straighten things up in Perak????What is actually holding you back to defend your own rakyat against injustice??? You baffle me to no end!!!!

Reading the comments posted proves one thing: The rakyat is not stupid anymore.

I've been advocating that royalty, no matter where it is, is a dead concept. It just doesn't work in modern society any more.

And this is especially true in Malaysia where the royalty are no more than a bunch of spoilt brats and down-to-earth business people. The perception by some that some how the royalty are a class above the rest is sheer nonsense.

I have said it so many times. Take away their regal clothings and they are just like you and I. Infact I'd even go as far as some of them are even worse than us as human beings.

Perak fiasco is testimony. Why did anybody actually expect the royalty to do the right thing in Perak is beyond logic. Perak royalty gain enormously financially by backing Najis in the form of billions of ringgit of government projects awarded to Gamuda where the chairperson is none other than the daughter of the sultan.

And according to the grapevine, UMNO holds the sultan to ranson as the legitimacy of his seat on the throne is highly suspect due to his mother being a commoner. According to custom there were many other more 'eligible' claims to the throne.

But seriously folks. Ask yourself: what has the royalty done for you? What have you benefitted from the royalty? Have their existence made your life better? Have you acquire any spiritual gains from the sultan? The answer is zilch.

And even as a symbolic figure, the Perak royalty has let us down by siding with the UMNO goons in grabbing power.

As for creating a truly fair and just Malaysia in eradicating racism, the royalty is now championing Malay rights. Does anybody really think that there is something noble about this calling? Don't be fools. He's is behaving out of desperation. Royalty is a dying concept and he knows that if he does not make use of race as a weapon, he would very soon be obsolete.

I am, as always, a confirmed republican.

We have heard so much for so many years. Beautiful colourful words do not sink in the Malaysian minds any more. We have been so used and accustomed to receiving the handouts from the Government. Some are priviledged. Others are deprived. Yet they are all Malaysians. Is there any one out there who is really proud of such a system? Is this what Malaysia is really all about?

Pls lead by example. Pls take care of your subjects if you have any dignity left in you, or else you are non other than another UMNO bigot and hypocrite.

Pls preach fairness. Malays and bumis should shoulder the responsibility of protecting, not oppressing or marginalilsing, the minorities. The majority should not rely on minotities 90% income tax, and you, should not be maintained by rakyat's money if you can't do the right thing for the rakyat

He said "he said loyalty to a cause that was noble and holy should be given more importance than loyalty to the individual or group".
Then he left the Perak people high and dry (basic right of voting and choice of government) and sucked up to the BN power players (individual or group).
Just practise what you preach or else keep your trap shut and nobody will say you are dumb.

Not sure what he meant by "survival of the race" There are more than 250 million people around the region which could be identified as Malays, not just those in Malaysia. With hundred of Million Malays around the World, did he mean the Malay are so weak that they can't survive the harsh environment of this world and therefore need protection just like those animals which classified as endangered species?

By the way, how much credibility has he still got? Talk is cheap. Action speaks louder than words.

A malay is a malay but a muslim need not be a muslim for life. Our malay muslims were not muslims before. Many were HINDUS. Meaning the malays forefathers were Hindus before.

Go ask the Arab if they do that which means if you are Arab you are Muslim. They are starting to lose credibility now as we can see because look at Thai or Filipinos are they consider Malay or what?

I find it very amusing that Malays including royal Malays constantly have to implore their own "race" to "struggle", "strengthen themselves", "protect their race, culture, language", "increase their share of the national wealth",etc as if they are under constant seige/attack by some hostile/unfriendly/oppressive enemy.
OY!!!!!!!! Who the heck are these imaginary enemies?. If you guys insist on behaving like some "inbred, 6 toed, helpless retarded species", do not be surprised if people treat you as such.
Get over yourselves, stop whining, get off your collective arses and start working for what you think you deserve like everybody body else. NObody owe you guys anything contrary to what you guys may think! Learn how to be EMBARRASSED for goodness sakes!!!!!

The Royal spokesman for the Utterly Moronic Nazi Org has finally shown his true colours of being beholden to that Org. for his ascension to the Perak throne which does NOT belong to him !

How can a Usurper such as this have any shred of credibility at all ?? He should hide his face in the Ivory Tower that his father has built with the sacrifice of the blood, sweat and tears of the Perak people, and then let in the federal govt. wolves to devour his Rakyat alive. Royalty ??? My A*SE !!
