Malay Supremacy, Again... So What's New?

Ok, so apparently Hishamuddin had finally 'apologised' for his keris wielding and kissing antics. That is if you consider that half-ass attempt as an apology.

According to him, he regrets if his actions has hurt the feelings of non-Malays. Fair enough, so now what are you gonna do about it? Apparently nothing, not that it's surprising at all.

But then, he made another statement right after that, this addressed to the Malays. Now, he's also sorry failing to uphold and protect the national symbol.

Ok, so is that what the keris symbolise? A weapon that is thirsty for the blood of non-Malays? Something to scare off those who question the UMNO brand of Malay supremacy? Is that what he failed in 'protecting'?

So now, is he really sorry or not? Maybe for the latter, but to the former, I don't think so.

A few days ago, Tengku Razaleigh held a post-mortem to discuss on UMNO's performance. You might have asked by now; what, another post-mortem? Aiyo, why they need another post-mortem? Just go to any kopitiams la, over they the post-mortem lagi accurate. But no, UMNO has to have another post-mortem. And another one is what they get.

What's the content of the meeting? Another topic on Malay supremacy. Or more specifically, how Malays have lost their political power and how to grab the power back from the nons. To know more , read this post from Malaysia Today.

And this kind of meeting coming from someone like Tengku Razaleigh? Man, if I jad any respect for you previously, you just lost it.

Then, there are also people like the Crown Prince of Kelantan who made the kind of statement that he did (read my previous post to know more).

And not to mention to countless of seminars held by Biro Tatanegara discussing a similar issue.

What surprises me is that these people, after so long, still fail (or refuse) to realise the real reason BN lost. BN lost not because the nons are trying to grab the power from the Malays. Hell, even Malays supported the opposition. So how do you explain that?

The reason is really simple. We are just sick and tired of the way BN is doing things. And it doesn't take a non-Malay to realise how fucked up BN is. Corruption, polarisation, discrimination, blatant disregard of the rakyat's needs, keris wielding stunt, cronyism, racial politics, religious issues, education, rising cost of living, hypocrisy, murders, tyranny, you name it. Everything that can go wrong, went wrong. That is why you lost. Case closed. Now do something about it.

Then again, that explanation might be too simplistic and lack the necessary oomph, so that might be why the UMNO people cannot accept it. No, no, we shouldn't care about those trivial matters, what more important is that the Malays (by that, you know I mean UMNO Malays) are losing power. We need to address that first. Those issues, aiya they can wait la. First we need to get the power back first. Only when things get back to the way it used to be the, maybe then, and I mean maybe then, we will look at your needs.

Ok then UMNO, keep talking. While you are at it, you might not realise that the rakyat and Pakatan Rakyat are laughing at your denial and impotence. In fact, at this rate, the PR might not even have to waste time strategising on how to oust BN. It may simply self-implode on itself.

And maybe then, UMNO will truly realise what went wrong. But I'm not crossing my fingers though.
