UMNO - inciter of racial hatred


Take a GOOD LOOK at this picture.
Is there any doubt left on why UMNO deserves to be kicked out of our system?
This is a picture of people protesting against Karpal Singh, who has planned to launch a legal suit against the Sultan of Perak for his decision to appoint a new Menteri Besar.
One question.
What has the Chinese people got to do with any of this???
WHAT? TELL ME???
From May 13 1969, to Najib in 1987, and Mr. Kerismuddin as recent as the year before, UMNO has time and time again used racial hatred to push their own agenda.
I thought of letting it go but no, let's state the facts.
The text on the placard says," Malays demonstrating, Chinese shaking legs at home"
1. It is a recession now, so perhaps these jobless people have nothing better to do than demonstrate and the jobless Chinese are at home.
2. This demonstration does not have a permit, so shouldn't they be arrested?
3. For inciting racial hatred, the whole lot of them should be sent to ISA camp in Kamunting. I might visit them once in a while to see if they have reformed and accepted the fact that they have to live with other races in Malaysia.
4. At the same time, I might also ask them if they realise that the Chinese pay 80% of the income tax received by the government as stated by Tun Mahathir before. Leg-shaking must be a lucrative profession.
5. The income tax received by the government is somehow embezzled and used to partly fund UMNO, the organisation these people belong to. So, they are biting the hand that feeds them.
In some cases, dogs are shot for biting their owners. Death penalty would be too harsh, but I believe that Kamunting has magical powers to change people's thinking.
After all, I lived there for the first 20 years of my life, so I should know.
6. When Standard Chartered obtained a million dollar judgement in court against the Negri Sembilan royalty, I didn't hear a whimper. Why are these people protesting now? Oh, I forgot, they are jobless due to the recession.
7. The legal immunity for members of royalty was taken away during Sultan Azlan Shah's reign as King in 1992. By the leader of UMNO himself. Enough said.
I love HRH Azlan, as he is both a leader of my state and a close family friend. He made the best decision he possibly could, perhaps under duress from UMNO (and the Gamuda factor), and yes, he has dissappointed the majority of the Perak population. He is a Head of State, but that does not exempt him from any legal obligation to the people/citizens of this country.
If Karpal Singh truly believes he has a case, by all means proceed.
I am happy for one thing, that UMNO may have taken the state of Perak, but they have managed to incite hatred.
No, not racial hatred as they intended. It backfired.
They have managed to make everyone in Perak HATE Barisan Nasional.
The results will be shown in the upcoming by-election.
