Chinese Malaysians are like 'Palestinians'

In 2001, after the USA suffered the tragic attacks from al Qaeda terrorists with nearly 3000 killed, and news reached the Middle-East about 9/11, there was great rejoicing in Palestine. Locals were seen dancing with joy and jubilation.

New York on 9/11, 2001 

Why?

The Palestinians who hated the Americans as another enemy because the USA has blindly supported their principal enemy the Israelis in oppressing them since 1948, couldn't help but being elated by the punishment and misfortune suffered by the American foe.

Many in the Western World like Australians were aghast at what they saw as wicked cruelty in Palestinians. How could those Arabs revelled in teh 9/11 tragedy?

But they didn't realise or refuse to realise that to the Palestinians, when faced on a daily basis, year in and year out, the utter oppression, helplessness and brutal victimisation from the far more militarily, politically & economically powerful Israelis and its American backer, every and any misfortune the antagonists suffered from, would be joyous and to be celebrated.

Hatred becomes even more pronounced when the enemy(s) was/is far far far too powerful, rendering them generally helpless without any practical solution. Thus every stumble, loss or tragedy the enemy(s) encounters would be considered as sweet justice from Heaven, and to be celebrated.

So read on, see and understand how the Malaysian 'Palestinians' who have "suffered" (in a way) generally in silence and helpless humiliation at the hands of Malaysia's institutionalised 'Yanks & Israelis' for years, behave when their opposition has suffered.

Crowd cheers when DAP MP announces landslide defeat in Tg 
Piai

by M Fakrul Halim

At a community event last night, Kepong MP Lim Lip Eng had to announce the Tanjung Piai by-election results to the audience, many of which were his constituents.

However, to his surprise, the audience broke into applause when Lim announced that the Pakatan Harapan had lost dramatically.

Most people in the audience were likely those who had supported Harapan in the last general election as Lim won with 92 percent of the vote.

Lim wrote briefly about his experience on Twitter and Malaysiakini contacted him today for details.

He explained that he was giving a speech at the Taman Pusat Kepong resident's association dinner and decided to share the outcome of the by-election mid-way.

"They clapped as though it was good news," said Lim.

"When I congratulated the by-election winner Wee Jeck Seng, they clapped even harder. Granted, Kepong MCA division members were present."

When asked for his reflections on the reaction, Lim said the lesson for Harapan was that the coalition has to fulfil its promises.

"In my speech, I said no more time-wasting. No more 'We've been in power for less than two years' or 'the manifesto can wait'. No more of that.

"We must fix a time frame. No more delays," said Lim, who claimed that this received the best reaction from the crowd that night.

As for DAP, Lim said the party has no choice but to go back to the voters and investigate how they think the party has strayed.

According to Malaysiakini's analysis, Harapan had suffered a small drop in Malay support in Tanjung Piai and a massive drop in support from Chinese voters.
