I refer to the Malaysiakini report Najib's aide to resign over 'racist' remarks .

It is quite obvious that the ranting of Nasir Safar is not an isolated act from one of the fanatical Umno members who have of late started crawling out of the woodwork.

Rather, it appears to be part of a well-drawn out plan to create havoc in the country, a plan to offend and insult the non-Malays and non-Muslims so much that they would finally retaliate only for Umno to then fully let loose the dogs of war, a plan that hitherto has miraculously not succeeded.

Nasir Safar is not your common run-of-the-mill government servant; he is an aide to the prime minister no less and thus it would be unthinkable for him to take a stand or make a statement so diametrically in contradiction to his boss.

He is part of that plot to keep on pushing the envelope so that something cracks, racial turmoil breaks out and with it, perhaps the Malays will once again rally behind Umno's unsheathed kris.

His act was not something done in the dark of night as was the case previously. This time the insults were brazenly poured openly on an audience of non-Malays.

What will they do next? Enter church during Sunday service and again desecrate all that is holy to Christians?

The existence of a ‘Greater Plan’ can be seen in the aftermath of what Nasir did - the prime minister's office went out of its way to defend him, saying that: ‘Nasir never intended to make any derogatory remarks. He spoke at length on the contributions made by all races in developing the country’.

Really? Then why did he resign?
