I refer to the Malaysiakini report 'Racist' BTN: Bouquets and brickbats .
What we were told by Defence Minister Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and the deputy prime minister is that the Biro Tatanegara or the National Civics Bureau has no element of trying to convert the participants to be anti non-Malays and neither does not contain any element of racism.
I suppose by extension, and in line of our beloved prime minister’s vision of achieving the ‘1Malaysia’ dream , everything that is conducted by BTN must be good and wholesome for the country and for the different races of Malaysia.
Now, as the average Joe Public living in Malaysia, why should I not believe the defence minister and our deputy prime minister if they say BTN"s courses are good and they inculcate good values to achieve the ‘1Malaysia’ dream?
Why should I believe the opposition, especially PKR, and the menteri besar of Selangor who may have an agenda against the Barisan Nasional government? Maybe this PKR is just trying to orchestrate some confusion among us peace-loving Malaysians.
Well, are they? Of course, we will have every reason to believe Barisan Nasional if they also refute their nonsense of Ketuanan Melayu. They must come out strongly and condemn this notion and disassociate yourselves from such a concept.
Can BN do that? Can they tell our fellow Malaysians that our Blood Bank does not discriminate based on race when it receives blood donations? Can it tell them that all Malaysians are blood brothers and sisters?
We will further confirm our belief in Umno if it will allow allow PKR and all Malaysians to have a look at the syllabus of the courses conducted by BTN. Surely, this will expose the ‘lies’ of PKR come the 13 th general election and you, BN< can be assured of the backing from all the races.
Come on Umno, do that so that you can do a ‘tsunami’ and wipe out the opposition once and for all. We are all waiting for you, dear deputy prime minister, to show us Malaysians that Umno and your BTN are not into racist propaganda.
Tell all us Malaysians that you do not practise this segregation policy called apartheid. Tell PKR that the ‘1Malaysia’ policy and the Ketuanan Melayu concept are like oil and water, they cannot mix.
Will you please tell us all this?
