Malaysian, Say No to PERKASA & Racism

Malaysian, Say No to PERKASA & Racism
Say NO to Racist PERKASA & Racism. Racial politics & Racism have caused Malaysia to left far behind even we've started earlier than many other ASEAN countries. If we allow racism to continue in Malaysia then we'll soon left behind of Vietnam & other developing countries.


As a citizen of Malaysia, ask yourself what have you actually gained from BN government after they've run the government for 53 years using racial politics? Can Malaysia face the challenges of globalization? STOP creating racial problems & concentrating in addressing the problem & challenges that the nation is facing is the ONLY answer. Otherwise, become a developed nation is just a dream & slogan used by the politicians that will never happen.

MACC head of prosecution Abdul Razak Musa vs Thai famous pathologist Dr Pornthip

MACC head of prosecution Abdul Razak Musa vs Dr Pornthip. This guy is extremely poor in English & appear doesn't understand the legal procedures (judge on behalf of the judge), don't know what is taking professional opinion (evidence), accuse the pathologist of coming to attack MACC, etc.


We want the truth behind of Teoh Beng Hock's death at MACC building right after investigation.

NEP: When Malaysia will end its beloved protection schemes?

When Malaysia will end its protection?

New Economy Policy (NEP) has been implemented for over 20 years in Malaysia.  If the ruling parties (BN) think it is successful then it should be replaced with something fair to all of the citizens.  If it has failed after such a long duration then it should be abandoned all together.  How successful it is?  use your own judgement.

Today, NEP is obviously being used by some groups and people to claim for further protection.  Going back to the history, it was meant to help the less fortunate or poor people.   Malaysia, as a democratic country must help the poor with equality.  Else, it is not a democratic country & it has no rights to criticize other countries that differentiate its people by whatever means (e.g. religion, ethnic, etc).  Obviously, nobody likes to be classified as poor or less fortunate.  So, why seek further protection?   They may use whatever term, but the meaning is the same.

Malaysia is a country full of protections.  How Malaysia faces the challenges of globalization if it continues with its beloved protection schemes?  Protect Malaysia economy from foreign influences & competitions with further protections?  Close economy may be the answer to have full protection for those that have been seeking for endless protection.  How far can the nation go then?  Look at countries that open their economies & the success their nations have been gaining, it doesn't require a rocket scientist to know that is the way to go.


So, when Malaysia will ends its protection schemes & take the nation forward?  The answer is dependent on the political parties and its citizens.   Simple logic, if you never start your first step then you'll never reach the destination.   Both the ruling and opposition parties are facing the exact same problems.   The party that is willing to lead the change will obviously gain the support from the people.

Proton car is the proud of Malaysian?

Proton car is the proud of Malaysian?
Most people around the world have probably heard about Proton, a Malaysian government backed car company.  This is not because of its cars are well known world wide, most likely it is because of acquisition of the loss making Lotus & some other loss making companies.

So, what Malaysian government has achieved for more than 20 years with its National Automotive Policy (NAP) and a series of protections for Proton cars? Some advanced automotive technologies? A national car that the nation really be proud of, like Toyota for Japan or Hyundai for Korea?   If your answer is YES then tell me which one & why you think so.

The last I've heard from the Malaysian government is "Malaysian government has made national car affordable", which was a statement issued by a minister when he was being interviewed on National Automotive Policy sometime year 2010.   How true is this statement?   The answer is TRUE.   This is an exciting achievement & some may be very proud of it.  Interested to know the tricks of such a success?   The answer is, by making all other cars very expensive & the so called national cars will be relatively affordable.

Not heard about it before or unbelievable?  Check out on-the-road price for same car with similar specifications that are selling in US, Japan, Australia and many more countries out there, and make a comparison with what you paid for your similar class of national car here in Malaysia.  This also costs us a lot more on insurance premium that we've to pay.  That is not the only impact on the tax payers out of the NAP.  I'll leave it to you to exercise your brain cells.

So, as a tax payer that have funded Proton for more than 20 years, are you still proud of Proton?  Are you willing to continue funding such a program?
