An Umno Youth chief from a division in Selangor, Ismail Ahmad, told opposition parties and their supporters to leave the country if they are not happy.
“These people, they come to a Malay area and they tell me that our country is not doing well and people are still suffering. Well, I’ll tell you, you can apply for citizenship in Singapore,” he said. Ismail, who helms the Youth wing of the Gombak division, was referring to an opposition claim that the economic pie is not shared equitably with all races.
“This is my house and those who do not live in my house have no right to tell me how to decorate it,” he told delegates. "Well, I’ll tell you, you can apply for citizenship in Singapore,” he said.
He then raised the issue of demolition of Hindu temples in Selangor, saying that the issue is “a small matter”. The most recent incident in Kampung Rimba Jaya had triggered outrage among non-muslim Malaysian across the country. Even Uncle Sammy could not put a stop to the demolition of the 100 years temple in Selangor even after he successfully met the Prime Minister who was accompanied by the Menteri Besar of Selangor at that time.
Ismail said Islam promotes harmony between religions but ended his statement by saying: “We understand that they too have gods. Thank God they do, if not they’d be worse off.”
But "No!" this kind of racist statement would not get the authority to charge our dear Ismail under the seditious Act or get any warning from the nation's leaders like Pak Lah and Najib. We all know what will happen if a non-bumi shouted seditious statement like that, don't we?
Afterall, the raising of the Keris or Malay dagger by the UMNO youth chief in the past few years UMNO's annual meeting has been defended by Najib who spoke of the symbolic nature of the Keris and commented “this is the last resort, and is usually not necessary as the previous two methods (tongue and penis) would have been sufficient to resolve disputes.”
Najib was commenting about the three prong solution in ancient warrior Bugis philosophy for conflict resolution, which can serve well in present efforts to resolve disputes: The first is the tip of the tongue - to solve conflicts through discussions, dialogues, and consultations. The second is the tip of 'anunya' (the penis) - to strengthen family and friendship bonds through marriage. And the third is the tip of the 'keris' (Malay traditional sword) - by going to war.
At 50, the country is truely at the crossroad if politicans "speak through their mouth and think through the 'anunya' (the penis)." I hope Najib knows the implication and so does his boss, Pak Lah.

the truth is we are safe from the dick heads while those dick-brain politicians create nightmares for the country.
no wonder there is a saying "only 3rd class people join politics. and how about minister? oh, those are low class people who we should send to other planets to save ours!"

very funny! but it is not far from the truth if we look at nazri,zam and hisham.
how about those from our very supp's leaders? wsk and RL would be the head of the gang, wouldn't they?
so much for the ministers and leaders of the Bolehland. you all are lucky consider that the Singaporean would not be so fortunate, would they?
may be we shall call them "DH" instead of YB as i can't assocaiate the word "berhormat" with these jokers anyway.
we should exhibit them to draw tourists from around the world and turn them into asset instead of junk? no?

The rightful place for the Kris is in Parliament, a reverred symbol of the source of ethical use of power for good!
That's all there is to it. But if in Parliament and the other Legislatures you have people like this
you will descend to the basest. And if you respond in the same vein, you play right into their lap!
So, David, you might like to maintain that self-respect not for anyone but for everyone, even for those very agitators. Hishamuddin is a self-indignant guy, out for a fast buck.
As a non-Malay politician, you might have to understand also, amongst many other things, the people you have to deal with, the "Malays". The Keris waving is nothing but vain "sabre rattling". You might like to read a Chinese Malay scholar on his work, the Malay Budi.
