YOURSAY ' Kosmo is just trying to scapegoat a minority ethnic group even though the popular vote of the nation went to Pakatan.'

Kosmo editor urges BN to be more bumi-centric

Tehachapi: It's sad to say this, this sort of editorial comments such as Kosmo are mostly seeking to please the political masters of the day; they do not reflect the political sentiment of the time.

People on the whole understand that Umno has lost its legitimacy and the party is in shambles. Young and educated people, irrespective of race, are rejecting the party's philosophy and mode of operations.

Of course, Umno can continue to manipulate the people, intimidating and threatening to punish them for rejecting the party. From now on, whatever it does is interpreted as usurping the power of the people. Its days are numbered.

More and more, it is perceived to be serving only the vested interests and privileged class of the country. A party without the genuine support of the masses will not last long. Umno has lost its cause and it is imploding.

The next development is a fierce internal struggle for the coveted positions within the party to further embezzle public funds.

Quigonbond: Kosmo and Utusan Malaysia are cut from the same stained cloth of racism. PAS is getting important positions in Selangor government, and they have a state to run in Kelantan.

In 2008, it was even better, they have Kedah and Perak. But guess what? BN through illegal means usurped Pakatan power in Perak.

If you want Pakatan partners to be fair to one another, why don't you be fair to Pakatan in the first place? Return three assemblypersons to Pakatan so that it can form the Perak government.

We'll have a great power-sharing formula with PAS at the helm, no problems.

Mikey: The stupid dolts still don't get it. The fight is corruption, rule of law, justice, fairness, transparency. Sure, continue with those stupid policies. All they benefit are the cronies, quite a few of whom are Chinese.

Who do you think those friends of BN are? Why do you think they come up with so much money for GE13?

Ipohcrite: The Chinese, who comprise 25 percent of the rakyat, do not need to be grateful to BN. To borrow a quote, "the rakyat do not owe the politicians anything, but the politicians owe everything to the rakyat."

Kosmo is just trying to scapegoat a minority ethnic group even though the popular vote of the nation went to Pakatan. Kosmo is nothing but a despicable coward.

Haveagreatday: Kosmo editor Baharom Mahusin, what has 43 years of affirmative action brought to the needy among the bumiputeras?

Yes, you have the super rich in Taib Mahmud's and Mahathir Mohamad's dynasties. Yet look at the poor bumiputeras in Sabah and Sarawak - in fact, the poor in peninsula as well - can you explain how more years of the apartheid-era policies will improve their socio-economic status?

Stella Ling: Who foot the bills for the Psy concerts and the dinners for thousands of guests costing hundreds of millions of ringgit to attract people to BN ceramahs before the GE13? The Malays?

It's from the Chinese businessmen, just like the taxes the government collects every year. Go ahead and isolate the Chinese. If not for these taxes, how are you going to pay the over one million government and civil servants, 90 percent of whom are Malays?

Now who is ungrateful?

Faz: The trouble with Umno-BN is the leadership is rotten to the core with regard to corruption and cronyism.

Its extensions in the form of government servants and the editors of MSM (mainstream newspapers and TV stations) are for all intents and purposes doing the same; proposing the defunct 'apartheid system' with the attitude of punishing the ‘offenders' and advancing the classic 'divide and rule' method of political management.

If your eyesight is blind, eye replacement from donors may correct the situation, but if you heart is diseased and 'blind' too, there is no cure.

Vijay47: What a brilliant subtle try at injecting some strife into Pakatan, Awang Selamat. Your bosses at Utusan will be so proud of you, of how you are able to reflect the same level of intelligence as them.

By the way, I am all for a "bumi-centric policy" in Malaysia. Perhaps you might want to rely on your own funds. Leave non-bumi money to us non-bumis.

Joe Lee: Is Kosmos and Utusan some kind of stone-age cavemen? Are they related to the missing link? Are they the ones for whom the great civilising influence of the last 10 millennia have missed?

ThisLandIsMine: Chinese in Malaysia will never appreciate their good life here. Maybe life elsewhere will be good for them. If that is so, please don't delay.

Lagi Satu Kalilah!: That's good. Without Chinese support, do you think BN is able to take back Selangor? Better let BN be an opposition party forever in that state.
