I fully agree with what Dr Jacob George and The Transporter have said about Badruddin Amiruldin and his racist statement . He has disgraced Umno and Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

While he is not the first Malay leader to utter racist statements (a former prime minister from Badruddin's home state of Kedah once told Newsweek that the British brought immigrant races into the Malay country without consulting his people), what he has said is disgusting and warrants condemnation from all Malaysian-minded Malaysians.

Badruddin should be charged with sedition, though I doubt this will ever occur under the Barisan Nasional leadership. Badruddin has done the Malay community - the eldest brother and indigenous community of Bangsa Malaysia - a great disservice by issuing threats against the non-Malays (aka Chinese and Indians), the younger siblings of the Malaysian family.

This is domestic violence clear and simple.

If he is a fair-minded, rational Malay and Muslim who believes in special rights which are supposed to benefit only meritorious Malays, Badruddin should be professional in what he says.

He should be assuring the non-Malays that special rights are not supposed to harm their interests.

And he should be telling lazy and spoilt brat individuals within the Malay community that they should never ever hide behind the excuse of special rights to bully their younger brothers, the Chinese and the Indians and other minority races.

Better still, he should suggest to the Umno leadership that all Malays and natives who abuse their special rights be stripped of them for 20 years.
