Mahathir - do you believe in the tooth fairy?

Malaysiakini - Dr Mahathir collapses at DAP's feet ... (extracts):

For the first time in his protracted political career, Dr Mahathir Mohamad had walked through the doors of DAP's headquarters.

And according to a commentary published on Umno Online, this was a symbolic event as it marked Mahathir's official surrender to DAP's “Malaysian Malaysia” agenda, which the 92-year-old former premier vehemently opposed in the past.

Mahathir and DAP's mutual abhorrence is a well-known fact. However, the pair has now forged an alliance with the aim of removing Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak from power.

This has been a bitter pill to swallow for those in Umno, a party which Mahathir spearheaded for more than two decades. Similar grouses also reverberate amongst the grassroots in DAP.

Yesterday, Mahathir, who is now chairperson of Pakatan Harapan, chaired the coalition's presidential meeting at the DAP national headquarters in Kuala Lumpur.

In his commentary, Kamarul Zaman Yusoff said that to the new generation of Malaysians, DAP's “Malaysian Malaysia” concept has its roots in the Malaysian Solidarity Convention of May 9, 1965.

He said a document from this convention mentioned that “a Malaysian Malaysia means that the nation and the state are not identified with the supremacy, well-being and the interests of any one particular community or race.” [...]

Kamarul ... pointed out that in the book “Tun M: Inilah Perjuangan” published last year, Mahathir had voiced his opposition towards the “Malaysian Malaysia” struggle in an exclusive interview with the author Sabaruddin Hussein.

Among others, he quoted Mahathir as stating in the book:

“Orang bukan Melayu asyik menuntut hak persamaan, meminta supaya dimansuhkan hak istimewa orang Melayu. Sedangkan mereka tinggal di negara ini, mendapat kewarganegaraan, juga merupakan satu keistimewaan. Mereka boleh mengamalkan cara hidup mereka sendiri, bahasa sendiri, itu pun satu keistimewaan.”

“Mereka tidak boleh punyai sistem pendidikan sendiri, kita hapuskan sekolah jenis kebangsaan, mereka tidak boleh mengamalkan budaya mereka, malah nama pun perlu ditukar kepada nama Malaysia, sepertimana yang dilakukan di Indonesia dan Thailand, pada masa itu barulah kita boleh mansuhkan hak istimewa orang Melayu.”

(The non-Malays always ask for equal rights, ask for the special position of the Malays to be abolished. While they live in this country, obtain citizenship, this is also a privilege. They can practice their way of life, language, this is also a privilege.

(When they cannot have their own education system, when we abolish vernacular schools, when they cannot practice their cultures, in fact, when their names also have to be changed to Malaysian names like in Indonesia and Thailand, only then, can we abolish the special position of the Malays.)

Firstly, I have to agree with what some Malaysiakini commentators said about the news title, that the 92-year old man physically and pathetically pengsan-ed at DAP HQ, wakakaka.

But that word 'collapses' was meant to be a symbolic description of Mahathir's volte-face of his hitherto disdain for non-Malays.  

Anyway, based on what Mahathir said in the interview with author Sabaruddin Hussein, he (Mahathir) would NOT abolish the special position (and thus rights) of the Malays UNLESS the non-Malays:

(i) abolish the vernacular schools,

(ii) stop practising their cultures, and

(ii) change their Cinapek and Keling names to Malay-nised (or Arabised) names like the Cinapeks and Kelings in Indon and Thailand.

I have often reminded the Pakatan noveau goofy gullible guppies of the racist anti-Chinese in Mahathir, their new-found political Moses who will purported lead them into the Promised Land a.k.a Putrajaya.

But alas, to them Mahathir must be alright as Lim Kit Siang is now the best matey of the former Dictator.

In fact, on 20 April 2015, just a mere two years ago, MM Online published Mahathir criticising Najib via the former's scornful description of Najib's 1Malaysia just like opposition’s ‘Malaysian Malaysia’ and yesterday none other than Mahathir himself walked comfortably as an invited and most welcomed guest into the HQs of the 'Malaysian Malaysia' people.

That's the putar-belit-ism of Maddy, a man who would do more than enter into a mere Faustian Pact to ensure his son becomes PM of Malaysia.

In that MM Online article two years ago, it was reported:

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad took aim at Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s “1Malaysia” concept of racial inclusivity today, saying by doing away with affirmative action for the Bumiputera, the prime minister was only realising the dream of DAP’s “Malaysian Malaysia” slogan.

Thus, we can read that Mahathir strenuously objected to 'racial inclusivity' and his suspicion that Najib might do away with affirmative action for bumiputera.

Oh no, not UNTIL those Cinapeks and Kelings:

(i) abolish the vernacular schools,

(ii) stop practising their cultures, and

(ii) change their Cinapek and Keling names to Malay-nised (or Arabised) names like the Cinapeks and Kelings in Indon and Thailand.

Dr Mahathir, who has become the harshest critic of Najib’s government, also accused the prime minister of ignoring Bumiputera rights in order to be seen as supportive of the Chinese and Indians here.

There you have it again - Mahathir's continuous emphasis on mono-ethnic rights, as we shall read in subsequent paragraphs.

“He reduced places for bumis in the government universities even though in the numerous private universities and twinned colleges, bumis make up less than 10 per cent.

“Bumiputera contractors and small business no longer had government favour. Most had to stop their businesses,” Dr Mahathir wrote in a latest blog posting.

“Without saying so in so many words, he had adopted the Malaysian Malaysia slogan of the opposition, only calling it One Malaysia instead,” he added.

Dr Mahathir claimed Najib started handing out money to people, not just individuals with household incomes under RM3,000 a month, but also to associations and the corporate sector, and that “billions” had allegedly been spent by the government on this to ensure support for the PM.

My aunties and uncles and their Cinapek friends benefited as well, wakakaka.

Rallies were also organised, Dr Mahathir claimed, where organisers were instructed to gather no less than 10,000 people to cheer Najib on with many holding placards with the words “IM4U”.

“Despite all these the Chinese refused to support Najib. They flocked to the opposition and he performed worse than Abdullah in the 13th General Election,” Dr Mahathir said, referring to his successor Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

When Mahathir gave you something, he expected something too - yes that's him.

“The Malays too did not support Najib. Selangor after he headed Umno did worse than 2008. Malays only voted for BN because they feared (Datuk Seri) Anwar (Ibrahim) would appoint (Lim) Kit Siang as DPM (deputy prime minister),” he added, saying that despite all this he continued supporting Najib.

This is interesting. So what will Lim Kit Siang or DAP leaders be when Mahathir or his son or a member of his Pribumi becomes PM?

“But now with the controversies dogging him I am sure BN would lose if he leads it in the 14th GE,” Dr Mahathir concluded.

In recent remarks, Dr Mahathir said he could no longer remain silent and that the days for diplomacy have long passed, adding he will now push for Najib’s resignation openly.

Thus Mahathir confessed that he is only in a political fight against Najib to preserve Ketuanan Melayu, Malays' rights and privileges through a BN or now, Pribumi victory (cum PKR, Amanah, etc), and not for you dunggu-ish goofy gullible guppies, wakakaka.

Mahathir will fight against anyone, Tunku, Ku Li, Anwar, DAP, AAB, Wan Azizah, PAS, Nik Aziz, Hadi Awang, Najib, Chinese, Indians, Malays, Sabahans, Jews, Yanks, Brits, Al Gore, Soros, etc, so long as he got/gets his way and achieved/achieve his aim, which NOW is to get Mukhriz on the political throne.
