If you cannot accept facts and truths, F..K off
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 29, 2023: To all the religiouis and racial bigots, F..K off if you cannot accept facts and truths.
Malaysia belongs to Malaysians, irrespective of race, creed and religion, period.
In fact if you truly look into history, Malaya, now Malaysia, belongs to the aborigines or the indigenous inhabitants - ceratinly not the Malays.
The Malayss’ failure to diffrenciate religion (Islam) from race is also the cause of confusion, sowed by the bigots.
So, to the bigots, stop telling the rest of the world of your stupid claims that Malaysia belongs to the Malays.
Malaysia belongs to all Malaysian citizens born in Malaysia, period.
Study the above image and see who were the signatorie of the United Nations-Treaty Series.

Dr M reiterates ‘Malaysia belongs to Malays’

PETALING JAYA: Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has continued to champion his call that “Malaysia is a Malay country" despite the loud criticisms from moderates who defended multiculturalism.
In a Twitter post, he said it is not wrong to voice his views as it is his right under the democratic freedom of speech, but the Federal Constitution has never claimed that Malaysia is a multi-racial country.
"Ramkarpal Singh's accusation that I am not promoting Malaysia as a multi-ethnic country is not in accordance with the Constitution is wrong.
"In terms of freedom of speech, it is not wrong. But the Federal Constitution does not claim that Malaysia is a multi-racial country.
"With the national language, customs, and with the Malay monarchy, the Constitution confirms that this country is a Malay country.
"Accepting citizens from other races does not make Malaysia a multi-racial country.
"Look at the situation in the United Kingdom, United States, Australia, although many other nationalities become citizens, these countries do not become multi-national countries.
"They still remain and their race is still British, American or Australian - not British Indian, German American or Malayan Australian," said Dr Mahathir.
He added that granting legal protection to foreigners who have been granted citizenship is common, but does not turn the country into a multi-ethnic country.
"The Constitution is the founding law that must be respected, but the Constitution can be amended if 2/3 of the Members of Parliament agree.
"If an agreement is reached, Malaysia can be converted into a multi-racial country," he said, adding that the “Malay country will disappear”.
"If the Malays want to eliminate the ‘Malayness’ of this country, just support the interpretation of this country as a multi-racial country," he said.
On Wednesday, Deputy Law and Institutional Reform Minister Ramkarpal Singh described Dr Mahathir's earlier statement as legally groundless, for claiming that it is unconstitutional to promote Malaysia as a multi-racial country.
Ramkarpal said the statement by Dr Mahathir - who served as prime minister for 23 years and had never questioned Malaysia's status as a multi-ethnic and multi-racial country during that period - is deeply regrettable, especially when he himself recognised Malaysia as a multi-ethnic and multi-racial nation during the same period.
Being Malay is no reason to deny others their rights, says PM

KUALA LUMPUR: Being Malay should not be a reason to deny others their rights under the Federal Constitution, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim (pic).
"We all have to take the position that the Constitution is very clear on the position of the Malays, but it is also clear on protecting the welfare of all citizens in this country. The future is for all Malaysians," said Anwar.
Anwar said this during a question-and-answer session at the opening of the International Malaysia Law Conference on Monday (July 10).
He questioned certain quarters for denying the nation's multicultural society by insisting that the country belongs to the Malays.
Anwar's response comes after former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad continued insisting that “Malaysia is a Malay country" despite the loud criticisms from moderates who defended multiculturalism.
Dr Mahathir had recently penned a 12-point Malay Proclamation aimed at uniting the Malays in the country.
Several leaders from PAS and Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) had signed the proclamation in support of Dr Mahathir's call.
Meanwhile, Anwar also took a swipe at the Opposition for harping on the issue of race.
"I am Malay and I respect the Malay culture, tradition, rulers, language but that does not make me racist or deny the rights of others," he said.
Anwar said he was perplexed why the issue of race was still being debated when there are more pressing issues affecting the nation.
"I can’t understand why we are stuck; we are not talking about governance, economic advancement, or digital technology. We are stuck on who this country belongs to - the Malays or the Chinese or the Christians," he said.
Malaysia belongs to Malays, Shah Alam congress warns ahead of Dr M’s speech
Zainal Kling warns non-Malay citizens who he says are not keeping to their end of the social contract.
Robin Augustin -Zainal Kling, chief organiser of the Malay Dignity Congress, delivers his opening address this morning.
SHAH ALAM: The chief organiser of the Malay Dignity Congress here today reminded other communities of their social contract with Malays, saying it was the basis of giving them citizenship which could be suspended if they break the agreement.
Quoting verses from the Quran, Zainal Kling said Malays, who he claimed “inherited the country for over 5,000 years”, could always suspend their social contract with non-Malays, adding that they were the rightful owners of the land.
“Despite our overtures, there are those who went off track, who wanted to manipulate us, who wanted to undermine our dignity, mock our religion, the Malay rulers and the Malays’ special position, and turn their backs on the social contract which is the basis for the Federal Constitution,” he told thousands who converged at the Malawati Stadium here for the congress, where Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad has agreed to deliver a keynote address.
Also present were rival leaders from Umno and PAS.Part of the thousands of participants at the congress at Malawati Stadium in Shah Alam.
Zainal said Muslims are allowed terminate their treaties with non-Muslims if the latter break the conditions.
“If people want to make light of these contracts, let us remind them in the Quran that there is a line – verses 3 and 4 of Surah Tawbah – allowing for the suspension of the contract.
“If people want to continue to transgress the agreements in the Federal Constitution, then perhaps the Malays have to return to Allah’s words in the Surah At Taubah,” he said.

He said Malaysia is for Malays just as Thailand is for the Thais, China for the Chinese, and India for the Indians.
The congress is jointly organised by Universiti Malaya (UM), Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI), Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) and Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM).
Organisers say it will focus on problems faced by Malays in the fields of education, religion, culture, politics and the economy.
Malaysia is for all Malaysians, not just Malays, says PM Anwar in retort to Mahathir.

KUALA LUMPUR - Being Malay does not give him the right to deny Malaysians of other races their rights under the Federal Constitution, said Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
“I am a Malay. I respect the Malay culture, tradition, rulers and language, but that does not make me racist or deny the rights of others,” he said during a question-and-answer session at the opening of the International Malaysia Law Conference on Monday.
“We all have to take the position that the Constitution is very clear on the position of the Malays, but it is also clear on protecting the welfare of all citizens. The future is for all Malaysians.”
Datuk Seri Anwar questioned the insistence by certain quarters that the survival of the nation is dependent on whether it is “purely a Malay country”, which then comes at the expense of the rights of others.
His response came after former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad insisted that “Malaysia is a Malay country”, despite loud criticism from moderates who defended multiculturalism.
Tun Dr Mahathir also said the Constitution had never claimed that Malaysia was a multiracial country.
Mr Anwar described this as a last-ditch effort by Dr Mahathir to remain relevant after failing to hold on to the Langkawi parliamentary seat in the 15th General Election in November.
“(Mahathir) lost his deposit in Langkawi. I don’t think we should take him very seriously. Of course, this is his last desperate effort to be seen as relevant. I am going to make him irrelevant,” he said.
Dr Mahathir quit Parti Pejuang Tanah Air, the party he founded, on Feb 10 following its dismal performance in November’s polls. It was the two-time premier’s first election defeat since 1969.
Following this, the 98-year-old politician went on to pen a 12-point “Malay Proclamation” aimed at uniting Malays in the country.
Several leaders from opposition coalition Perikatan Nasional signed the proclamation in support of Dr Mahathir’s call.
Mahathir says he is willing to work with former foe Muhyiddin to champion Malay cause.
Mr Anwar also took a swipe at the opposition for harping on race, questioning why this card is still being flashed around when there are more pressing issues affecting the nation.
“I can’t understand why we are still stuck when we are in 2023; we are not talking about governance, economic advancement or digital technology,” he said, adding: “We are fixated on who this country belongs to – the Malays or the Chinese, or the Christians.”
Mr Anwar said his administration will do all it can to move discussion towards one on nation-building. “If we fail in this narrative and discourse (of multiculturalism), we fail as a nation,” he said as he challenged those who supposedly champion Malays yet enrich themselves.
“They talk about Malay survival. I challenge them: If it’s true you want to help the Malays, then surrender half your wealth to the Malays,” he said. - THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK
