Open letter to my PM Dr Mahathir on Zakir Naik — Ravinder Singh
Your misplaced love, affection and defence of Dr Zakir has given him so much face that he is now freely trampling over the non-Muslims in this multi-racial country where peoples of different faiths have lived peacefully for ages, like those in Sabah and Sarawak.
Emboldened by your vehement defence of him, he continues brazenly attacking the Indians and has now started attacking the Chinese, saying that if Malaysians want him out of Malaysia, they must first get the Chinese out of Malaysia. Who is he who knows not the history of Malaya and Malaysia to make such an arrogant call? So, he wants Malaysia to become a single race and religion country? He makes his radical jihad clear as crystal!
Dear PM, you are acting like an overprotective father who is in denial of the misbehaviour of his favourite child, unable to control his tantrum throwing. Instead of firmly acting to stop the tantrums and disciplining the child, you give in to the child’s demands and further spoil him, thus putting him, through tacit approval of his behaviour, on the road to becoming a future troublesome person, even a thug and a criminal.
Dr Zakir’s latest attack on Malaysian Indians and Chinese is a direct result of your blind stand that you will not deport him. He takes that to mean that you have given him a free hand to do what he wishes and he will continue to be treated as a VIP permanent resident.
Dear PM, you are a human and not infallible like anyone else. But you harbour the attitude that being the PM it is your, and yours alone, to decide on any matter. This reflects pride and arrogance which Islam says a leader should not have.

You feel, like what you did in the Bukit Merah radioactive waste burial graveyards debacle, that when you have made a decision it must be defended to the hilt no matter how wrong it is. This is because you strongly subscribe to the theory of “tell a lie and repeat it often enough and the people will believe it is the truth”.
So you keep defending Dr Zakir on the claim that he will not get a fair trial in India, and therefore he cannot be sent out of Malaysia. You want people to accept that as the truth.
He is said to be a citizen of Saudi Arabia. So can Saudi Arabia refuse to take back its own citizen? Yes, you need not send him back to India, but why not to Saudi Arabia, or any of the many other Muslims nations that should be happy to receive him with open arms?
Please put aside pride for the sake of Malaysia that you are going to leave behind. Don’t leave us a Malaysia that is torn apart by racism as a result of Dr Zakir’s jihad. There already are a few locals trained by him who are following in his footsteps.
What use would Malaysia be if all its people are of a single race or religion but is a broken country like some in the Middle East?
Bear in mind that you were given the mandate to serve the people, of all races, creeds, religions without distinctions between them. This is in accordance with the Federal Constitution, isn’t it?
The single most important matter in a multi-racial, multi-religious country that Malaysia is, is peace and harmony between all of them.
Peace and harmony is not built in a day, like Rome was not built in a day.
So please don’t let jihadists like Dr Zakir destroy this multi-racial, multi-religious nation.
Take a lesson from Humpty Dumpty. It is very easy to destroy the peace and harmony in a nation by allowing just one person treated as a VVIP to go around giving incendiary talks, making disparaging claims, calling people names, in the name of religion. Once destroyed, like the fallen Humpty Dumpty, it will not be possible to restore it to what it was in the good old days.

Since Ravinder has brought up the analogy of fairy tales like Humpty Dumpty.....
ReplyDeleteKicking out BN in GE14 does not turn Malaysia into Disneyland’s Magic Kingdom overnight. More like Frontierland where the way forward is fraught with unknowns and risks.
After GE14, there is no Tinkerbell flying around the country with a magical wand undoing bad things with a wave and a sprinkle of fairy dust. There are still many who want to derail the New Malaysia.
Ting..! Lynas disappears...or never existed...
Ting..! Wee Ka Siong when he was Deputy Education Minister never allowed Jawi into the BM textbooks of primary schools...
Ting..! The Pied Piper was never allowed into the country, granted PR or trapped and fooled the weak minds and guilty hearts...
If only it was that easy.
Each and every bad decision of the previous administration has to be dismantled piece by piece with care and caution, because every move to dismantle will be turned into a racial or religious issue. Drag the royalty in too for good measure.
Remember ICERD and Rome Statute.
Toonsie simply does not have the capacity to guide Malaysia through the unknowns of Frontierland. His mind is trapped in a time capsule from the 70s and 80s. He must let someone else take over.
we can only wait, even someone take over will hardly change a thing. msia politics resemble china/spore, they hv to wait until mao/lee gone, whether he is still chairman/pm or no make no diff.
DeleteEach and every bad decision of the previous administration has to be dismantled piece by piece with care and caution - that would be understandable and accepted, BUT BUT BUT Mahathri is worsening the situation instead of slowly untangling the scandals of the BN - for example, Lynas, Zakir Naik, khat. Then there is Car No 3 (for eff sake lah) etc etc etc
ReplyDeleteKtemoc you have no other things to do hah. Everyday fanning fire.
ReplyDeleteletter written by Mr Singh to Malay Mail, wakakaka
DeleteFreedom of speech? You are damned if you do.
ReplyDeleteits still a foreign concept, good only when it suit them.
DeleteApply ONLY if it doesn't say anything about the 3R that r dear(?) to the hearts of the ketuanan freaks/zombies/blur-sotong!
DeleteHow about what is been farted by the alpha zombie as in colluding with a foreign individual against their fellow citizens.
Ain't this statement is clearly against Malaysia’s national sovereignty?
How to jive with when the cinapeks were been accused to collude with the communist by the ketuanan freaks?
Double double standard?
Right!
["Asri berkata, kaum majoriti di Malaysia adalah orang Melayu dan tidak perlu dipertikai haknya oleh kaum lain, termasuklah dalam isu tulisan jawi.
Delete“Kita tidak perkauman. Negara China untuk orang Cina, orang tak pertikai itu adalah identiti dia. Negara India untuk orang India. Eropah, mereka perjuang hak asasi manusia, hak kesamaan, tapi Eropah masih untuk orang kulit putih. Malaysia, Tanah Melayu, Tanah Melayu untuk orang Melayu."]
Negara China, negara lama.
DeleteNegara India pun negara lama.
Eropah sebuah continent berkumpulan negara2 lama juga. Lama tu bermaksud berribuan tahun.
Tabi bila tu tanah melayu diwujud?
Wakakakaka… nama tu direka bentuk olih pommie di Abad ke-90!
So, who's asri but another dream Weaver creating hallucinations for the zombies/ketuanan freaks!
Betul tak?
