Hussein Abdul Hamid is a Malay staying in Melbourne. Not sure if he had retain his Malaysian citizenship, but that is not the matter of this post. Hussein writes and expresses himself very well and his blog is at
http://steadyaku-steadyaku-husseinhamid.blogspot.com/
He wrote of the Malay culture and how Malays I know are polite to a fault. The Malays I remember have manners and grace. and I fully agree with him. I had taught Malay students for well over 3 decades and I know Malays are very hospitable and generous.
Plus, since I retired I had volunteered to teach English to disadvantaged children and was assigned to teach young Malay boys and girls. Just yesterday I was very surprised when 2 very young girls took my hands and kissed it, I assumed for teaching them English. They must have been taught by their parents to express gratitude.
That is another matter. What I wanted to write about today is not my experience but what Hussein Hamid wrote:
But..... he wrote further:
Today there are Malays who are thieves. Malays who rob, pillage and plunder everything in front of them and more often then not, anything and everything that they can get their hands on. Anything that belongs to others. Anything to satisfy their greed. And no Malay in living memory can hold a candle to the pillaging and plundering now being done by the Alpha Malay couple now living in Seri Perdana...Mr and Mrs Idiot. These is the latest video aired on BBC London last night. That would be MO1 or Najib Razak and his wife.
Hussein Hamid wrote further: To those that read what I write can I ask you to do this. If, by any chance you are in agreement with what I write about the Malays, Malaysians and our beloved Malaysia...do me this favour. Copy and paste what I write onto your FB, your blog...anywhere that others too can read what I write....
So here it is:
Selamat Pagi Malaysia...I have partaken of my first sip of tea this morning...not Nescafe but tea this morning. Mango infused mandarin flavoured tea because this morning I do not need a coffee to put me in the right frame of mind to write. I know what I want to write about this morning. I want to write about the Malays. Not the Bugis, not the Jawas, not the Northern or Southern Malays....not even about the people from the East Coast or West Coast.
I do not want to talk about the Malay race, not about the Malay nation or about the fact that the Malays dominate politics in Malaysia. I want to write about what all those people I have just mentioned have become....we have all become Malays. An ethnic group that I know have got respect for others and in return beget respect from others. The Malays I know are polite to a fault. The Malays I remember have manners and grace that made them the envy of others. And that is why in all my life I have always been proud to identify myself not as a Bugis but always as a Malay.
My parents, my uncles and aunties and, dare I say it, myself and my cousins, are the product of Malay parents who instinctively knew what is important in life. When we meet our elders...we give them respect. When we talk to our elders...we defer to what they have to say, listen and learn...and when asked, only when asked,we answer. We wait for our elders to eat before we do...and they in turn, insists that we eat before they do. I do not sit if my father was standing and if I sit, never will I sit higher then him. And always when we meet our elders...we kiss their hand reverently with love and respect and even as we do, they will pull back their hands and smile as they ask how our parents were, how we are and if all is well with us. I know all this because I lived that life for as long as I can remember until my parents, all these uncles and aunties are no more...save for a few of them who are revered by us as the last of the Mohicans.
If you are tired of listening to what I am saying about my past life...bear with me a little more. The life that I led as I grew up was no different to the life of many many other Malays that I know. In the kampongs and in the growing middle class of Malays in the urban areas ...respect for the leaders, being a good individual and being content with our lot was what guided us in our lives. That life is now a distant memory.
Today there are Malays who are thieves. Malays who rob, pillage and plunder everything in front of them and more often then not, anything and everything that they can get their hands on. Anything that belongs to others. Anything to satisfy their greed. And no Malay in living memory can hold a candle to the pillaging and plundering now being done by the Alpha Malay couple now living in Seri Perdana...Mr and Mrs Idiot. These is the latest video aired on BBC London last night
It is now 10.22 am and I need to write about other things that trouble the Malays ....and Malaysians. To those that read what I write can I ask you to do this. If, by any chance you are in agreement with what I write about the Malays, Malaysians and our beloved Malaysia...do me this favour. Copy and paste what I write onto your FB, your blog...anywhere that others too can read what I write....do this and I will continue to do what I do now....write about the pain in my heart and in many other Malaysian hearts about what is now happening in our beloved Malaysia....the pillaging, plundering of our nation by this ...this ...Idiot and his wife with the complicity of a Barisan Nasional beyond redemption, beyond saving. Out with this Mr and Mrs Idiot, out with BN.

Malays under threat? Is that possible?
UMNO and NGOs like Perkasa and Isma etc., keep talking about the Malays in Malaysia under threat from non-Malays. Malys form the majority of the population in Malaysia. Almost all if not all positions of authority like Prime Ministership, Deputy Prime Minister, Chief Police Officer, Attorney General, Chief Justice, Registra of Society, Registra of Companies, Finance Minister, Home Minister, etc. etc, are all Malays. Nearly all if not all banks and financial institutions, Petronas, and many other corporations are now in Malay hands. So in what way can non-Malays be of threat to the Malays?
Well, here is an email forward purportedly from a Malay, genuine or not I am not in a position to judge but you judge for yourself:
Ahmad Said asked,
UMNO had ruled Msia for 57 years n still crying to safeguard Malay special right,Malay under threat,Malay living under poverty etc etc.
He asked:-
For 57 years, UMNO ruled the country,
Islam is National religion,what had UMNO bn doing if Malaysia n Islam is under threat?
He said the facts are:-
1) Msia has 9 Sultans n a king n they r Malays.
2) PM & DPM,holding Msia top most powerful post r Malay.
3) Since 1974,Minister of Finance r Malays.
4) Other than Penang, all CM & MB r Malays.
5) Majority of Federal Ministers r Malays n influential n Impt
Ministries r Malays.
6) Out of 222 MP,more than 50% r Malays.
7) More than 93% of Gov't Dept, fr low to Top post, r Malays
8) NEP r designed for Malays.
9) 80% of Uni quota r reserved for Malays.
10) Special discount for hse purchased n stocks r for Malays.
11) Top post of Police & Army r Malays.
12) GLC r controlled by
Malays
He said how cud Malays in absolute control r in threat n danger fr minority races. It is UMNO & cronies who with never ending greeds continued to bully & lie to Malays by blaming Chinese n Indians as scape goat.
Ahmad Said urged Malays to wake up n see the evil intentions of UMNO Warlords.
God bless beautiful Malaysia n its peace loving Rakyat.
I love u,Malaysia

An enlighted Malay writes about the lost and waylaid Malays
From an email forward. Not sure who the author is, but read it and see if it described the happenings in Malaysia accurately:
Happenings in our beloved land, Malaysia
Written by an enlightened Malay (a market analyst)
The Malays Are Lost And Waylaid - At The Crossroads Of A Malay Dilemma
If you happen to travel around this country and check on the statistics, especially the pasar malam, find out who runs the stalls and their businesses? Check out our beloved Chow Kit Road, and see who owns the thriving commerce? Or visit the Pudu wet market and see who is shouting for customers at 4am (even before the cock crows).
Half the businesses now are with the foreigners, another half with other races, the Malays only have land titles left (especially reserve land of no value). All the GLC's are still in Malay hands, but not for long; otherwise all will be sold off in no time at all. As a people, the Malays are not known for perseverance and enduring commitment. They have no business acumen. Being entrepreunerial is a steep climb for them and the Malays have no stamina to stomach the strains and stresses. I speak from experience. They are easily swayed by circumstances.
More than half our local workforce are pendatangs (Indons, Myanmars,Nepals, Vietnamese, Banglas!) This country is not only bankrupt as said by Idris Jala, but also - telah dilelongkan. The poorer of the majority Malays left behind will become beggars and mat rempit, mat gian, mat ragut and mat dadah (they are all subsidized by our government funding to buy their No 1 drugs of escapism to run away from a harsh reality - Metadon). Who culled their own Malay race? Nobody but UMNO-BN itself! I rest my case.
Since 1957 UMNO has effectively carried out the population engineering of our country to ensure its own long-term survival by creating the myth of a two-pronged "Ketuanan Melayu" strategy of mind control. "Ketuanan Melayu" for the majority Malay masses who are lulled and numbed into a feeling of being superior over the non-Malays because of their demographic numbers; and "Ketuanan Melayu" for the favoured UMNOputra Malay political elites through the accumulation of massive material wealth and power for themselves and their cronies. And while UMNO has failed by almost any measure you chose to gauge them – good governance, ethics or morality – without question they have succeeded too well in the social engineering exercise after the bloody race riots of May 13, 1969. The duplicity of UMNO in proclaiming 1Malaysia - Satu Bangsa, Satu Negara -while all the while undertaking a relentless program to whittle down the numbers of the non-Malays through a very precise and focused political initiative is breathtaking in its effectiveness!
Consider this -
In 1957:
– 45% of the population were Chinese
-- 12% of the population were Indians
In 2010:
– 25% of the population are Chinese
– 7% of the population are Indians
Over 600,000 Chinese and Indian Malaysians with red IC status were rejected repeatedly when applying for citizenship and possibly 60% of them had passed away due to old age.
Since 1957:
-- 2 million Chinese have emigrated
– 0.5 million Indians have migrated
– 3 million Indonesians came over to Malaysia to become Malaysian citizens with Bumiputra status even if they stay less than 5 years. (Nett gain 0.5 million and an additional of 3 million manufactured Bumiputras like Muslim Indonesians). The most famous is none other than Mohd Khir Toyo who stayed for 20 years but became MB of Selangor.
In the not too distant future, I reckon Malay bumiputras may have to worry about 2nd or 3rd generation Indonesian migrants, owing to the virtues of hard work and thrift taught by their parents, or grandparents, would have surpassed the majority Malays in terms of socio-economic progress. Mohd Khir Toyo is smarter than most local-born Malays in terms of amassing his personal wealth at the shortest duration of time. Even Muhammad Muhammad Taib is no match for him. That's how smart Khir Toyo is.
Instead of teaching their people the virtues of hard work and perseverance, the UMNO warlords are proclaiming Ketuanan Melayu to feed off the Chinese minorities like parasites. If not for the Chinese taxpayers, the Malays will be sleeping the five footways. Of course the Chinese isn't a threat - they are just workaholics - they want to create wealth and prosperity so much so that no failures of any kind is going to stop them. Not even the ultra Malay racists spewing blood in their eyes or frothing venom in their mouths. It is envisaged the Chinese demographics will dwindle to stabilise at 4per cent of the overall Malaysian population but their accumulated wealth and economic power will continue to rise to more than 75per cent of the overall GDP of the country. That's proof enough how steady and influential the Chinese economic stranglehold over the majority Malays will become; and we believe racial hatred and resentment is well likely to remain for the next 50 years. They work hard for the money but we envy them in our idleness.
Whereas the Indonesian newcomers went out to work before you become awake and they are not home yet when you call it a day and went to bed. Will the majority Malays consider them a threat when they deservedly find new wealth? The Indonesians respect the Chinese for their business acumen and diligence. Do the Malays think likewise if not indulge in unguarded jealousy and envy?
Now the non-Malays are well aware of this tinkering and engineering of our population and it would do us Malays no good to say that it was UMNO's doing and that we had no hand in what happened at the end of the day. As a Malay I was then comfortable that UMNO was the dominant partner in the Barisan Nasional. It was indeed comforting to know that Malays controlled four of the five major banks. We were also in control of UMBC, MISC and Southern Bank – all previously owned by the Chinese. But seemingly the Chinese-owned Public Bank which is not in our control is moving ahead of the others still in economic prowess and competitive skills. What's wrong with our control?
Education?
Between 1968 to 2000:
– 48 Chinese primary schools shut down
– 144 Indian primary schools closed
– 2637 Malay Primary Schools were built
Of the total government budget for these schools, 2.5% were for the Chinese, 1% for the Indians and a whopping 96.5% for the Malay primary schools.
The fact that 2637 Malay primary schools were built between 1968 to 2000 implied that the engineered process of retarding our majority Malays or bumiputras is getting obvious. At the end of their school lives, they have nowhere to go except to stay put in this country, as like idiots they have nowhere else to go because everywhere they are faced with a serious language problem and a communication breakdown with others. They will, like it or not, have to support the Ketuanan Melayu concept to survive for their freebies or welfare. The mentality is - No need to work and money will still come. Scions of the rich and wealthy UMNOputras will be educated overseas and return to continue to rule over their poorer local cousins.
Petronas petrol stations?
Of the 2000 station the Malays owned 99%. Yes…we the Malays were indeed in control. In control of what? We were in control of all the business licenses and permits for Taxis and Approved Permits (APs).
We were in control of Government contracts of which 95% were given to Malays.
We were in control of the rice trade through Bernas that bought over 80% of Chinese rice millers in Kedah. Even Robert Kuok aka Sugar King was forced to sell his sugar franchise to UMNO crony interests so that the Malays are deemed to be in control of the sugar market; and the other essential basic items.
We were in control of bus companies. Throughout Malaysia, MARA buses could be seen plying all the routes. Non-Malays were simply displaced by having their application for bus routes and for new buses rejected. Many local Chinese owned bus companies are already kaput in the urban centres.
Every new housing estate being built had a mosque or a surau. None, I repeat "no" temples or churches were built for any housing estate even if the majority residents are non Malays! We even blare the loudspeakers in every mosque calling for Azan at maximum volume just so to tell the non Malays and non Muslims that we are in control!
So why with control over all these highly visible entities and business opportunities are the majority Malays still unable to stand tall and with pride over and above the non-Malays? We are unable to so do because it was not the Malays that benefited from these opportunities - only the favoured UMNOputras enjoyed the benefits, and the poorer among the majority Malays were merely taken for a ride as their name were used by UMNO to hijack the national agenda. The Chinese bogeyman and the Malay hobbyhorse work wonders for UMNO to play one against the other in their evil scheme of Divide and Rule to suit their survival plan.
Why must UMNO constantly harped about the need to spoon-feed the majority Malays – about Ketuanan Melayu when it is already in place and about Bumiputra status and all the privileges and rights that goes with that special status?
And as a Malay I want to ask the non-Malays why you still chose to live in a country whose racist government has by its actions and deeds done whatever it could to make you not feel welcomed as a Pendatang? The non-Malays I know have all told me the same thing – Malaysia is their country – they know of no other country they can call their own. And so they stay and put up with the abuses and nonsense.
The difference now is that there are enough Malays who are ashamed by the nihilistic antics of this ultra racist Malay political organization call UMNO. There are enough Malays to tell the non-Malays that we feel your pain, too. We understand your frustrations and despair at not being treated as equals in a country you call your own.
You must remember that UMNO will never treat you as equals or partners in progress. They want eveything for themselves. If you are not happy you can get out. UMNO does not give a damn if you're a rocket scientist or Albert Einstein Reborn. If you are non Malay you are 2nd class pendatang. Remember that well.
And enough non-Malays had migrated abroad to cause our country to understand that their loss is another country's gain. Singapore gained the most. A loss, which our country can ill afford to sustain in the long run. Only dumb and stupid Malay leaders deny the causes.
And more important, all these groundswell of disgust and contempt at UMNO has manifested itself in a way these political idiots cannot understand – losing our votes in the 12th General Elections on 10 March 2008. Say Amen for that. Instead of seeking penance these racist bastards scream for bloodshed and mayhem still.
And so we wait for the 13th General Election in 2011 which we hope will dish out the relevant karma for UMNO and its lameduck Barisan Nasional partners. The stooges and the parasites.
Meantime understand what they have done to us all – not only the non-Malays but also to the Malays and do not allow UMNO or Barisan Nasional to play the race card and start their divide and rule antics on us anymore.
You are one with me and we are two. United we stand divided we fall. One for all and all for one - is our game plan.

Murder, rape, corruption and Malay values
Murder, rape, corruption and Malay values
Translated from DARI JELEBU: Bunuh, Rogol, Rasuah dan Nilai Melayu
From agricultural people who are honest and well mannered man, nowadays Malay will be fixated on the profit and loss account before making any decision. They are no longer the one true judge of things which are illegal or halal. In the end, 3 million people who are members of UMNO (United Malays Malays National Organisations) not only consider Najib as pure and clean but even name and appointed Najib Razak to become their leader.
DARI JELEBU FROM Jelebu
Hishamuddin Rais Hishamuddin Rais
The Malay world has changed. (Ini bukan sekali air bah sekali emak meninggalkan abah) This is not at all once the flood father left my mother. The change is not the mother and father. It is the change in the value of the Malay people. This is a very big change. Within just one generation that there has seen a change in the Malay culture is very clear. One shift or more accurately a surge in value has occurred.
The surge of the Malay people are not brought by Tok Lebai or by the State Literary Figure Mrs Teacher (Chegu) or Miss Teacher (Chegu). This value is not arising from the cottage school or primary school. The thing that is responsible for bringing new value is economic structure.
This economic structure has been introduced to the Malay people of UMNO (United Malays National Organisation). From almost thirty years ago - Mahathir Mohammad through the New Economic Policy has introduced new cultural values spirit of the Malay people.
Thirty years before this day - the Malay people were agricultural people. The Malay economy value is the agricultural economy the Malay man was described as polite, friendly as a peaceful farming community.
When the NEP (New Economic Policy) was introduced - this policy is pushed the Malay people and the natural world into a new world, the world of trading and business. In the 70's the Malay people were encouraged to come to migrate to towns and cities. From the picturesque village, the Malay people came into towns and cities with its very different cultural tradition.
The changes brought by the NEP is not a gradual change - not evolution. The NEP dragged and forced people to accept new Malay cultural values. Thus in the 90's and the years before, the spirit of the Malay people has been popularized as the New Malay spirit. This is the line of separation between agriculture Malay and the Malay businessmen.
Economic system that the NEP birthed is essentially a capitalist economic system. But UMNO (United Malays National Organisation) has modified the capitalist system. System of capitalism is no longer free competition but a business crony capitalism. This type of capitalism has chosen its children, wife and friends to become a partner to receive the funds and contracts from the government. It is this crony capitalism that has been responsible for producing a new value to the Malay people.
The new values are the values promoted by UMNO (United Malays National Organisation) to rise in ranks, stature, property and wealth. Greed and greed is considered good value in the business culture.
Today the Malay identity - its faith and its religion - everything is defined by UMNO (United Malay National Organisation). Semua pengtakrifan baik dan buruk sedang dimonopoli oleh United Malays National Organisation. All definitions of good and bad are monopolized by the United Malays National Organisation.
Narrative that is different from what is taught by UMNO (United Malays National Organisation) will be considered wrong or is a cult. Islamic teachings are also defined by UMNO (United Malays National Organistation). Halal (Permissible) or Haram (Forbidden), good or evil are no longer dictated by the sacred scriptures but through promoters and religious spokesmen appointed by UMNO (United Malays National Organistaion).
Whatever is allowed or forbidden if different from what is mouthed by supporters of UMNO (United Malays National Organistion) is not allowed. Truth is now being monopolized by UMNO (United Malays National Organistion).
Corruption which once didn't exist in the agricultural community has become Malay culture. Corruption is now seen as the cultural characteristics to carry out any form of business. Even those investors and business people today have adopted the culture of corruption. Whe calculating a transaction, they have prepared a special budget to bribe those who should be bribed - from office boy to the CEO.
These New Malay values do not stop at just the level of corruption. A classic example: more than a decade ago there was one case where an underaged school going child had been impregnated by a Chief Minister. The case is outrageous. But with the values of the New Malay rape of a minor is not a crime (does not harm the rapist).
The Malay people professing the value of this new state has no shame, dislike or feel guilty when underaged school children have been raped by a Chief Minister.The new values are internalized by the Malay people to become more concerned with contracts and tenders rather than the interest of the life of a child who had been raped.
When this paper was written another rape was have excited people and is subject of lively discussion in the Internet. The talk is that a senior minister in Abdullah Badawi's administration was previously said to be involved raping a maid from Indonesia.
Whether it is truth or not of this case is not the question. What does matter is how the New Malay people have become numb. They are no longer surprised when reading this news. they are not surprised that this 2 year old news has surfaced.
Corruption, rape and deceit that has become a commonplace. Because it often occurs or is done by those who have power and sitting on top of the general public, the public has started to accept this the Malay value and culture.
Let's look at another classic case where it has proved that there had been a surge in changes of the Malay people. The case referred to is the murder of Mongolian model Altantuya Sharribuu. From what the public see, hear and read - when the case was tried (in the court) - the general publlic was aware that a good friend of the Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak was involved in this murder.
In fact, from what the public was told, according to court reports Najib Razak is not only a friend of the accused. From the mouths of witnesses in the public hearing had told that the murdered model had met with Najib Razak in Paris. In fact a statutory declarations have also been made which told that Najib Razak was the former lover of slain model.
The question that arises here is not who is killed. Or who gave the instructions for the murder of this model. This not want discussed. What we wish to raise is how the 3 million people who are members of UMNO (United Malays Malays National Organisation) has become numb and deaf when faced with the murder of this Mongolian model.
These hearing loss and numbed feelings 3 million members of the party UMNO (United Malays National Organisation) happened because they have accepted and appreciate the new value and the new culture. Three million people are Malays now can only see contracts and tenders. Their eyes and their souls can no longer escape from the power, status and wealth.
Thes new values have no right or wrong. In fact right and wrong are being defined by promoters and spokepeople of UMNO (United Malays National Organisation). When the promoters and spokepeople says Najib Razak is pure and clean, the 3 million Malay people will also nod accept that as a revelation.
This new value system becomes very dangerous for those who live these values no longer any ability to judge what is right and wrong. Because many are willing to accept and share these values, they feel safe and correct. Large numbers and figures make them feel invincible.
The values of the Malay people have become inverted. From people of agriculture who are honest and courteous these Malays access profit and loss before making any decision. They are no longer the true judge of true or falss, permitted or forbidden. In the end, 3 million people who are members of UMNO (United Malays Malays National Organisations) not only consider the figure of Najib as pure and clean but even Najib Razak has been appointed and was named to become their leader.
This is the crisis being faced by the Malay people - the crisis of values. So it is up to the other Malay people - not including the 3 million - if they still have the value of right and wrong to get up and speak up.
This crisis of the Malays will be prolonged do extreme harm on our nation. Harm will befall our nation if many Malays who are well mannered and honest does not do anything.
Translated from DARI JELEBU: Bunuh, Rogol, Rasuah dan Nilai Melayu
From agricultural people who are honest and well mannered man, nowadays Malay will be fixated on the profit and loss account before making any decision. They are no longer the one true judge of things which are illegal or halal. In the end, 3 million people who are members of UMNO (United Malays Malays National Organisations) not only consider Najib as pure and clean but even name and appointed Najib Razak to become their leader.

The Malay world has changed. (Ini bukan sekali air bah sekali emak meninggalkan abah) This is not at all once the flood father left my mother. The change is not the mother and father. It is the change in the value of the Malay people. This is a very big change. Within just one generation that there has seen a change in the Malay culture is very clear. One shift or more accurately a surge in value has occurred.
The surge of the Malay people are not brought by Tok Lebai or by the State Literary Figure Mrs Teacher (Chegu) or Miss Teacher (Chegu). This value is not arising from the cottage school or primary school. The thing that is responsible for bringing new value is economic structure.
This economic structure has been introduced to the Malay people of UMNO (United Malays National Organisation). From almost thirty years ago - Mahathir Mohammad through the New Economic Policy has introduced new cultural values spirit of the Malay people.

Dari manusia pertanian yang jujur dan bersopan santun kini manusia Melayu akan berkira-kira tentang untung rugi sebelum membuat apa-apa keputusan. Mereka tidak lagi menilai sesuatu dengan salah benar atau halal haram. Akhirnya, 3 juta manusia Melayu yang menjadi ahli United Malays National Organisations bukan hanya menganggap sosok Najib ini suci dan bersih malah Najib Razak ini telah diangkat dan dinobatkan untuk menjadi ketua mereka.

Dunia Melayu kini telah berubah. Ini bukan sekali air bah sekali emak meninggalkan abah. Yang berubah ini bukan emak dan abah. Yang berubah ialah nilai manusia Melayu. Ini satu perubahan yang amat besar. Dalam masa hanya satu generasi telah dilihat satu perubahan budaya nilai Melayu yang amat jelas. Satu anjakan atau lebih tepat lagi satu lonjakan nilai telah berlaku.
Lonjakan nilai manusia Melayu ini bukan dibawa oleh Tok Lebai atau oleh Sasterawan Negara atau Cik Gu dan Cik Gi sekolah. Nilai ini bukan datangnya dari sekolah pondok atau sekolah kebangsaan. Yang bertanggung jawab membawa nilai baru ini ialah struktur ekonomi.
Struktur ekonomi ini telah diperkenalkan kepada manusia Melayu oleh United Malays National Organisation. Selama hampir tiga puluh tahun dahulu – Mahathir Muhamad melalui Dasar Ekonomi Baru telah memasukkan satu nilai dan budaya baru ini ke dalam roh manusia Melayu.
Tiga puluh tahun sebelum hari ini – manusia Melayu adalah manusia pertanian. Ekonomi Melayu adalah ekonomi pertanian justeru nilai yang dilahirkan oleh manusia Melayu ketika itu menggambarkan sopan santun dan damai mesra masyarakat pertanian.
Apabila DEB diperkenalkan - dasar ini menolak manusia Melayu ke satu dunia dan alam yang baru – alam jual beli atau alam perniagaan. Pada tahun tahun 70’an manusia Melayu telah digalakkan datang berhijrah ke bandar dan kota. Dari kampong yang permai manusia Melayu telah mula memasuki pekan dan bandar yang adat budayanya amat berbeza.
Perubahan yang di bawa oleh DEB ini bukan satu perubahan yang perlahan lahan – bukan evolusi. DEB ini telah mengheret dan memaksa manusia Melayu untuk menerima satu nilai dan budaya yang baru. Justeru roh manusia Melayu ini pada tahun-tahun 90’an dahulu telah dipopularkan sebagai roh Melayu Baru. Ini adalah garis pisah antara Melayu pertanian dengan Melayu peniagaan.
Sistem ekonomi yang dimunculkan oleh DEB pada asasnya ialah ekonomi sistem kapitalis. Tetapi dengan United Malays National Organisation sistem kapitalis ini telah diubah suai. Sistem kapitalisma ini tidak lagi menjadi satu perniagaan bebas tetapi kapitalisma kroni. Kapitalisma jenis ini telah memilih anak bini kawan dan sahabat menjadi rakan niaga untuk menerima dana dan kontrek dari kerjaaan. Kapitalisma kroni inilah yang selama ini bertanggung jawab melahirkan satu nilai baru kepada manusia Melayu.
Asas nilai baru yang sedang dianjurkan oleh United Malays National Organisation ialah mengumpul pangkat, derajat, harta dan kekayaan. Tamak dan haloba dianggap nilai yang baik dalam budaya niaga.
Hari ini jati diri Melayu - siapa Melayu, apa kepercayaan manusia Melayu, apa agama manusia Melayu – semuanya telah didifinasikan oleh United Malay National Organisation. Semua pengtakrifan baik dan buruk sedang dimonopoli oleh United Malays National Organisation.
Naratif yang berbeza dari apa yang diajar oleh United Malays National Organisation akan di anggap salah atau akan termasuk ke dalam bab ajaran sesat. Ajaran agama Islam juga telah didifinasi oleh United Malays National Organistation. Halal haram baik dan buruk bukan lagi dirujuk melalui kitab kitab suci tetapi melalui juruheboh dan jurucakap agama yang dilantik oleh United Malays National Organistaion.
Tidak dibenarkan malah dilarang dan di haramkan apa sahaja naratif yang berlainan dari cerita yang di mulutkan oleh penyokong United Malays National Organistion. Kebenaran kini, telah dan sedang dimonopoli oleh United Malays National Organistion.
Rasuah yang pada satu ketika dahulu tidak ditemui atau berani menyerang masyarakat pertanian kini telah menjadi satu jalur budaya Melayu. Rasuah kini dilihat sebagai ciri budaya untuk menjalankan apa sahaja bentuk perniagaan. Malah kaum pemodal dan orang berniaga kini telah menerima pakai budaya rasuah. Dalam perhitungan jual beli, mereka telah menyediakan belanjawan khusus untuk merasuah sesiapa yang patut dirasuah – dari budak pejabat hingga ke CEO.
Nilai Melayu Baru ini tidak berhenti di tahap rasuah sahaja. Satu contoh klasik: lebih dari satu dekad dahulu ada satu kes dimana seorang anak sekolah dibawah umur telah dihamilkan oleh seorang Ketua Menteri. Kes ini menjadi heboh. Tetapi dengan nilai Melayu Baru kes ‘rogol bawah umur’ ini tidak mendatangkan mudarat kepada si perogol.
Manusia Melayu yang menganuti nilai baru ini telah tidak menyatakan rasa mual, benci atau merasa bersalah kerana anak dibawah umur telah di rogol oleh seorang Ketua Menteri. Nilai baru yang dihayati oleh manusia Melayu ini lebih mementingkan kontrek dan tender yang akan diperolehi dari mementingkan salah benar seorang budak di bawah umur yang telah di rogol.
Ketika tulisan ini ditulis satu lagi kes rogol sedang heboh dan rancak dibincangkan dalam alam sesawang. Telah di perkatakan bahawa seorang menteri kanan dalam pentabiran Abdullah Badawi dahulu telah dikatakan terlibat merogol seorang pembantu rumah dari Indonesia.
Sama ada kes ini saheh atau tidak bukan persoalannya. Apa yang menjadi persoalan ialah bagaimana manusia Melayu Baru ini telah menjadi lali. Mereka tidak lagi teperanjat apabila membaca berita ini. Malah mereka tidak hairan yang berita ini telah tenggelam timbul selama 2 tahun.
Rasuah, rogol dan tipu ini telah menjadi satu yang lumrah. Kerana ianya sering berlaku atau dilakukan oleh mereka yng memiliki kuasa dan duduk di puncak kuasa maka orang awam kini telah mula menerima ini sebagai jalur nilai dan budaya Melayu.
Mari kita lihat satu lagi kes klasik dimana ianya telah membuktikan lonjakan perubahan nilai manusia Melayu ini. Kes yang dimaksudkan ini ialah kes pembunuhan model dari Mongolia. Dari apa yang umum baca, dengar dan lihat - ketika kes ini dibicarakan - umum telah tahu tentang kawan baik kepada Najib Razak Timbalan Perdana Menteri ketika itu telah terlibat dalam pembunuhan ini.
Malah dari apa yang umum diberitahu, mengikut laporan mahkamah Najib Razak bukan hanya kawan kepada orang yang tertuduh. Dari mulut saksi perbicaraan umum telah diberitahu bahawa model yang dibunuh ini telah bertemu dengan Najib Razak di Paris. Malah melalui satu akuan bersumpah umum juga telah diberitahu yang Najib Razak ini adalah bekas kekasih model yang terbunuh.
Persoalan yang timbul disini bukan siapa yang membunuh. Atau siapa yang memberi arahan agar model ini di bunuh. Bukan ini yang ingin di bincangkan. Apa yang ingin ditimbulkan ialah bagaimana 3 juta manusia Melayu yang menjadi ahli United Malays National Organisation telah menjadi lali dan tuli bila berhadapam dengan kes pembunuhan model dari Mongolia ini.
Ketulian telinga dan kelalian perasaan 3 juta ahli parti United Malays National Organisation ini terjadi kerana mereka telah menerima dan menghayati nilai dan budaya baru. Tiga juta manusia Melayu ini kini hanya boleh melihat melihat kontrek dan tender. Mata dan jiwa mereka tidak berupaya lagi melarikan diri dari kuasa, pangkat dan harta benda.
Jalur nilai baru ini tidak memiliki nilai salah dan benar. Malah salah dan benar telah pun ditakrif oleh juruheboh dan juruagama United Malays National Organisation. Apabila juruheboh dan juruagama mengatakan Najib Razak ini suci dan bersih maka 3 juta manusia Melayu ini juga akan mengangguk menerima ini sebagai wahyu.
Nilai baru ini menjadi amat merbahaya kerana sesiapa yang menghayati nilai ini tidak lagi ada keupayaan untuk menilai mana yang salah dan mana yang betul. Kerana ramai yang sanggup menerima dan berkongsi dengan nilai ini maka mereka merasa selamat dan betul. Angka dan jumlah yang banyak menjadikan mereka merasa kebal.
Anjakan nilai manusia Melayu ini telah menjadi bagitu songsang. Dari manusia pertanian yang jujur dan bersopan santun kini manusia Melayu akan berkira-kira tentang untung rugi sebelum membuat apa-apa keputusan. Mereka tidak lagi menilai sesuatu dengan salah benar atau halal haram. Akhirnya, 3 juta manusia Melayu yang menjadi ahli United Malays National Organisations bukan hanya menganggap sosok Najib ini suci dan bersih malah Najib Razak ini telah diangkat dan dinobatkan untuk menjadi ketua mereka.
Inilah krisis yang sedang dihadapi oleh manusia Melayu – krisis nilai. Maka terpulang kepada manusia Melayu lain – yang bukan termasuk dalam 3 juta ini - jika mereka masih memiliki nilai salah benar untuk bangun dan bersuara. Krisis nilai orang Melayu ini akan berpanjangan dam membawa mudarat yang amat sangat keatas negara bangsa. Mudarat akan sampai jika ramai orang Melayu yang bersopan santun dan jujur tidak melakukan sesuatu.

Calling Malays to join counter movement to oppose Perkasa and extremists
Perkasa, led by king from Ibrahim Ali who won Parliamentary seat on PAS ticket, is creating a dangerous situation in Malaysia by pressuring for Ketuanan Melayu (Malay Supremacy), denying legitimate rights of non-Malay and non-Muslim, inflaming racial and religious hatred.
I would like to inform Malay Malaysians that Suflan Shamsuddin has started an initiative to form a Malay counter movement and hope you will join him at Facebook: Tabung Idea Mengukuh Martabat Melayu (Accumulation of ideas to strength Malay respect?).
Here is his writing in Bahasa Malaysia:

I would like to inform Malay Malaysians that Suflan Shamsuddin has started an initiative to form a Malay counter movement and hope you will join him at Facebook: Tabung Idea Mengukuh Martabat Melayu (Accumulation of ideas to strength Malay respect?).
Here is his writing in Bahasa Malaysia:
Dengan keberleluasaan retorik perkauman yang kononnya diajukan demi kepentingan orang Melayu, bukankah elok jika suara yang memberi pandangan alternatif melalui satu pergerakan yang berkesan diberikan dengan kelantangan yang setanding?
Walaupun Perkasa dan mereka yang bersekepala inginkan supaya orang ramai percaya bahawa orang Melayu semuanya bersatu menyokong konsep Ketuanan Melayu, tetapi sebenarnya ramai daripada orang kita yang memandang ideologi itu sebagai sesuatu yang tidak berwibawa... (read more)

From Suflan Shamsuddin: Tiba Masanya Untuk Pergerakan Melayu Alternatif?
Tiba Masanya Untuk Pergerakan Melayu Alternatif?
Dengan keberleluasaannya retorik perkauman yang kononnya diajukan kononnya demi kepentingan orang Melayu, bukankah elok jika suara yang memberi pandangan alternatif, melalui satu pergerakan yang berkesan, diberikan dengan kelantangan yang setanding?
Walaupun badan-badan NGO Melayu yang berhaluan kanan inginkan supaya orang ramai percaya bahawa orang Melayu semuanya bersatu menyokong konsep Ketuanan Melayu, tetapi sebenarnya ramai daripada orang kita yang memandang ideologi itu sebagai sesuatu yang tidak berwibawa dan tidak berlandaskan ajaran Islam, dan oleh itu tidak boleh diterima pakai. Ramai dari kita juga perpandangan berpandangan bahawa falsafah ini cuma akan melemahkan masyarakat Melayu itu sendiri, kerana ia menghindar penerapan nilai keteguhan dan akauntabiliti diri, ia menyekat pembangunan pemikiran kritikal yang berasaskan maklumat, dan ia mendorong pendekatan mengambil jalan yang senang dan bergantung kepada system naungan. Selain dari itu, pendekatan sedemikian tidak memberi dorongan positif supaya bermain bersifat adil, ia menyekat pemahapan pemahaman betapa mustahaknya perbezaan pemikiran dan bertindak secara inklusif, dan ia mewujudkan sebab kenapa tidak perlu menjadi kompetitif dan berkerja keras.
Hari ini, ramai orang Melayu berkongsi pandangan dengan orang Malaysia yang lain, bahawa walaupun program kerajaan memperimbangkan ekonomi berasaskan keperluan yang dihadkan dari segi masa mempunyai nilai, pemberian yang tidak ada hujung pangkal berasaskan hak-hak istimewa adalah seperti dadah. Ini adalah kerana ianya menimbulkan satu ketagihan dengan pemberian berasaskan naungan dari ‘mereka yang berkuasa’, yang akan membantutkan dan meracuni hidup mereka yang menerima. Dengan itu, maka wujudlah sistem elitisma dan kronisma, didorong dan disokong oleh mereka yang memerlui, dan yang memberi, perlindungan dan naungan tersebut. Dengan sumber-sumber mulai ketandusan, terdapat satu perasaan takut bahawa akan adanya satu detik waktu tegang, mengancam dan berkemunkinan ganas di mana kebiasaan kemewahan ini tidak dapat dikecapi lagi.
Maka timbullah satu idea untuk menubuhkan satu pergerakan Melayu alternatif untuk menyuarakan pandangan tersebut. Jika pergerakan ini dapat dijadikan kenyataan, ianya akan cuba memajukan budaya dan pemikiran Melayu, yang menolak Ketuanan Melayu, dan yang dibentuk berlandaskan nilai-nilai murni dan mulia Islam dan universal, seperti kewibawaan, keteguhan diri, keberdikariankemampuan berdikari, keinginan memperbaikki keadaan diri, toleransi, dan perasaan saling hormat menghormati. Pergerakan ini akan beroperasi sebagai satu pertubuhan yang independen dan tidak menyokong mana-mana parti politik, supaya ianya pergerakan ini dapat bertindak berasaskan prinsip moral yang lengkap dan teguh untuk membela nasib masyarakat Melayu.
Ianya akan mengkaji dan mempromosi kefahaman mengenai masalah yang menghindari kejayaan orang–orang Melayu. Ianya akan cuba mempengaruhi pembentukan polisi-polisidasar-dasar dan akan bertukar-tukar fikiran dengan badan-badan kerajaan, parti-parti politik, dan masyarakat sivil dan seterusnya. Ianya akan cuba melahirkan idea-idea baru untuk menangani masalah kenapa orang Melayu tidak seberjaya dan sematang sebagaimana sepatutnya, memandangkan banyaknya peluang-peluang yang diberi sejak lima puloh tahun yang lepas. Akhirnya, ia akan membina dan menampilkan satu kefahaman baru kepada masyarakat Melayu mengapa tatacara hidup sebegini akan membawa kejayaan dan kebahagian, baik di dunia mahupun di akhirat.
Untuk Pergerakan ini betul-betul berkesan, ianya perlu dibentuk sebagai satu Pergerakan untuk orang Melayu sahaja, dan ahli-ahlinya mestilah terdiri dari segenapan lapisan masyarakat Melayu, baik dari segi jantina, umur, atau latarbelakang. Ini adalah kerana perjuangannya adalah untuk memenangi pemikiran dan perasaan masyarakat Melayu itu sendiri. Ini, sudah tentu, akan menghindari penglibatan mereka yang tidak berasa senang untuk menyokong satu Pergerakan yang hanya dikhaskan untuk orang Melayu sahaja, walaupun mungkin ada di antara mereka yang akan melihat nilainya dalam memberi tentangan kepada suara-suara ekstrim yang datang dari pertubuhan Melayu haluan kanan. Walaubagaimanapun, ianya pergerakan yang dicadangkan itu mungkin dapat menarik minat dari mereka yang merasakan perlu, dan ingin tolongmembantu, berganding bahu untuk mencapai pertukaran perubahan pemikiran mind-set yang bererti di dalam masyarakat mereka, sebagai satu matlamat tersendiri, dan juga sebagai satu jalan untuk mencapai satu negara Malaysia yang lebih baik mantap dan murni.
Sepatutnya, individu-individu Melayu yang ulung, terbilang dan tidak berpolitik, dan yang dihormati oleh seluruh lapisan masyarakat di Malaysia, memainkan peranan dalam Pergerakan ini. Individu-individu ini, yang telah mencapai kejayaan dalam bidang masing-masing tanpa kesan buruk dari polisi-polisi berlandaskan Ketuanan Melayu, dapat menentukan supaya Pergerakan ini mempunyai kredibiliti, bertindak secara independen dan berhalukan berhaluan pegangan bermoral, dan tidak dicemari oleh muslihat mana-mana individu atau parti politik.
Walaupun Pergerakan ini tidak menyokong mana-mana partibergerak secara parti-parti politik, ianya patut menarik minat ahli-ahli parti-parti politik Melayu, yang inginkan perkara yang sama untuk masyarakat mereka. Mereka ini mungkin menyokong Pergerakan pergerakan ini kerana sama-sama berkongsi keinginan untuk menyingkir paradigma yang lama dan bankrap yang berasaskan sistem naungan dan perasaan tidak senang dengan kebolehan diri, dan yang ketandusan toleransi ugama dan perkauman. Mereka mungkin bersepadu ingin menggantikannya dengan sesuatu yang membina keyakinan diri dan kebolehan orang Melayu untuk berdayasaing dan memberi sumbangan, secara jujur dan adil, dan berjaya. Walaupun demikian, supaya kredibiliti dan status independen tidak tercabar, pemimpin-pemimpin politik dan ahli parti yang aktif mesti menerima hakikat bahawa penglibatan mereka dihadkan kepada peranan menyokong Pergerakan sahaja, dan bukan untuk memimpin Pergerakan ini ataupun cuba mempengaruhi tindak-tanduknya.
Sepatutnya, pemimpin-pemimpin politik Melayu yang inginkan satu negara Malaysia yang bersatu dan yang berkesan, akan menyokong penubuhan Pergerakan ini, kerana semakin besar sokongan yang diberi kepada Pergerakan tersebut oleh masyarakat Melayu, maka makin kuranglah perlunya keprihatinan terhadap sentimen-sentimen mereka-mereka yang ekstremis dan rasis, di luar dan di dalam parti.
Akhirkata, Pergerakan ini tidak patut dilihat sebagai sesuatu percubaan untuk terus mengasingkan orang Melayu dari orang bukan Melayu. Ia tidak boleh dilihat sebagai mencabari kewujudan satu Malaysia yang inklusif. Sebaliknya ia patut dilihat sebagai landasan untuk menolong orang Melayu supaya mengambil langkah awal dan mustahak untuk kecapi mengecapi pembentukan Bangsa Malaysia yang masih menjadi hanya bayangan, dalam jangkamasa panjang.
Hari in, Pergerakan ini hanya satu idea. Sekiranya anda berminat untuk menyokong dan menyumbang kepada idea ini, sila jadi ahli Facebook group Tabung Idea Mengukuhkan Martabat Melayu (TIM3) yang baru saja saya sediakan untuk mengumpul idea-idea dan komen-komen mengenai cadangan ini.
Dengan keberleluasaannya retorik perkauman yang kononnya diajukan kononnya demi kepentingan orang Melayu, bukankah elok jika suara yang memberi pandangan alternatif, melalui satu pergerakan yang berkesan, diberikan dengan kelantangan yang setanding?
Walaupun badan-badan NGO Melayu yang berhaluan kanan inginkan supaya orang ramai percaya bahawa orang Melayu semuanya bersatu menyokong konsep Ketuanan Melayu, tetapi sebenarnya ramai daripada orang kita yang memandang ideologi itu sebagai sesuatu yang tidak berwibawa dan tidak berlandaskan ajaran Islam, dan oleh itu tidak boleh diterima pakai. Ramai dari kita juga perpandangan berpandangan bahawa falsafah ini cuma akan melemahkan masyarakat Melayu itu sendiri, kerana ia menghindar penerapan nilai keteguhan dan akauntabiliti diri, ia menyekat pembangunan pemikiran kritikal yang berasaskan maklumat, dan ia mendorong pendekatan mengambil jalan yang senang dan bergantung kepada system naungan. Selain dari itu, pendekatan sedemikian tidak memberi dorongan positif supaya bermain bersifat adil, ia menyekat pemahapan pemahaman betapa mustahaknya perbezaan pemikiran dan bertindak secara inklusif, dan ia mewujudkan sebab kenapa tidak perlu menjadi kompetitif dan berkerja keras.
Hari ini, ramai orang Melayu berkongsi pandangan dengan orang Malaysia yang lain, bahawa walaupun program kerajaan memperimbangkan ekonomi berasaskan keperluan yang dihadkan dari segi masa mempunyai nilai, pemberian yang tidak ada hujung pangkal berasaskan hak-hak istimewa adalah seperti dadah. Ini adalah kerana ianya menimbulkan satu ketagihan dengan pemberian berasaskan naungan dari ‘mereka yang berkuasa’, yang akan membantutkan dan meracuni hidup mereka yang menerima. Dengan itu, maka wujudlah sistem elitisma dan kronisma, didorong dan disokong oleh mereka yang memerlui, dan yang memberi, perlindungan dan naungan tersebut. Dengan sumber-sumber mulai ketandusan, terdapat satu perasaan takut bahawa akan adanya satu detik waktu tegang, mengancam dan berkemunkinan ganas di mana kebiasaan kemewahan ini tidak dapat dikecapi lagi.
Maka timbullah satu idea untuk menubuhkan satu pergerakan Melayu alternatif untuk menyuarakan pandangan tersebut. Jika pergerakan ini dapat dijadikan kenyataan, ianya akan cuba memajukan budaya dan pemikiran Melayu, yang menolak Ketuanan Melayu, dan yang dibentuk berlandaskan nilai-nilai murni dan mulia Islam dan universal, seperti kewibawaan, keteguhan diri, keberdikariankemampuan berdikari, keinginan memperbaikki keadaan diri, toleransi, dan perasaan saling hormat menghormati. Pergerakan ini akan beroperasi sebagai satu pertubuhan yang independen dan tidak menyokong mana-mana parti politik, supaya ianya pergerakan ini dapat bertindak berasaskan prinsip moral yang lengkap dan teguh untuk membela nasib masyarakat Melayu.
