Umno’s a dangerous evil racist in multi-racial Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 5, 2026: After 68 years of Merdeka (Independence) 1957, Umno is proven to be just a selfish racist political party with a political agenda that only threatens national unity and harmony.

It cares not for rakyat dan negara (people and country), with leaders just out for corrupt gains.

How else to explain its shameless unabated support for a corrupt thief/pencuri who stole millions, if not billions, of Ringgit from the rakyat dan negara.

Umno is willing to destroy national unity and harmony just for a thief/pencuri, the corrupt, disgraced and shameless former Umno president and prime minister Najib “1MDB” Razak.

DOES UMNO HATE CHINESE?

In light of the Akmal speech calling on UMNO to leave the federal government, and work with PAS and PN, I think its time to dissect the underlying perception held by UMNO towards the Chinese community (both Malaya and Borneo Chinese)

In general, UMNO holds deeply negative and prejudiced views toward the Malaysian Chinese community, viewing them as a threat to Malay supremacy (Ketuanan Melayu) and national unity. These prejudices can be summarized in four main points:

A) Rejection of national unity: UMNO sees the Chinese community's strong support for separate Chinese-medium schools (including UEC) as evidence that they reject a unified Malaysian identity. They argue that a common education system using Bahasa Melayu is essential for fostering patriotism and unity, and view multiculturalism/pluralism as unworkable in Malaysia, as it directly the opposite of Ketuanan Melayu.

B) Selfishness and ingratitude in business: UMNO sees the Chinese as greedy, unethical, and unwilling to share commercial knowledge or partner with Malays without government intervention (e.g., NEP and quota system). UMNO believes that Chinese businesses are exploiting Malays and label the community as "ungrateful" for citizenship granted at independence, claiming no other country would have allowed so many Chinese, many who cannot speak Bahasa Melayu, to be granted citizenship.

C) Refusal to assimilate: UMNO believes it is reasonable to expect Chinese Malaysians to assimilate fully, ideally by converting to Islam and adopting Malay culture. They contrast this with assimilated Chinese communities in Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines. UMNO sees Ridhuan Tee Abdullah and Firdaus Wong as the "ideal-type" Chinese. That is why UMNO supports Malay marrying Chinese, although they will not say it in public. Marrying means assimilation since the Chinese have to convert, and their children are registered as Malay.

D) Constant challenges to the 'social contract': UMNO accuses the Chinese of undermining the Social Contract, where non-Malays accepted Malay special rights, Islam's status, and bumiputera privileges in exchange for citizenship. Questioning these is seen as breaching this "contract" and provoking the Malays. Many in UMNO think May 13th occurred partly because of the Chinese challenging the Social Contract. UMNO does not care that historians cannot find “social contract” used by Malay politicians prior to the 1970s. UMNO believes that Social Contract was written in stone even before 1955.

The views of UMNO towards the Chinese are also influenced heavily by Mahathir Mohamad's The Malay Dilemma, which warned that meritocracy would leave Malays behind due to perceived Chinese superiority in work ethic and entrepreneurship, risking "Sinocisation" of the economy without protective policies.

Thus those who support UMDAP in DAP are fooling themselves that UMNO will learn to accept DAP and the Chinese community. As long as UMNO is driven by the above (A-D), I can tell you UMNO will never accept Malaysian Chinese as full citizens and will never treat DAP as an equal.

Public figure

In a youth convention on Jan. 3, Umno's youth leader Akmal Saleh urged his party to leave the Unity government of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and join the opposition, alleging that "red lines" have been crossed.


He also urged for unity with PAS, which would revive the 2019 Muafakat Nasional (MN) pact and unite the Malay-Muslim community, but turn Umno against the ruling coalition.

Umno youth leader Akmal Saleh urges party to quit Anwar's govt & unite with PAS

"Don’t be afraid to be the opposition," he said.

Malaysia's Umno youth leader Akmal Saleh urged his party to leave the Unity government of Anwar Ibrahim and join the opposition, in a speech made at an Umno Youth convention on Jan. 3.

Alleging "red lines" that had been crossed by other parties of the Madani government, in particular the Democratic Action Party (DAP), he said that leaving the government is how the party can "leap higher going forward", according to Malaysiakini.

"When the principles of cooperation begin to be violated, and our dignity is not respected, then that is enough for Umno (to leave the government). Let them run this government - we become the opposition," he urged.

"My brothers, don’t be afraid to be the opposition," he added, claiming that the call to leave the government came from Umno's grassroots.

His words are the latest in increasing calls for Umno to leave the ruling Madani (Unity) government.

On Dec. 22, Umno secretary-general Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki slammed DAP MP Yeo Bee Yin for her 'celebratory' post of former prime minister and Umno president Najib Razak's rejected house arrest appeal.

He then urged for his party to re-examine their ties with those who do not appreciate their contributions to forming the unity government.

Alliance with PAS?

Akmal also alluded to unity between Umno, the traditional embodiment of Malay nationalism, and the Islamist Party of Malaysia (PAS), the main embodiment of political Islam in the country.

Malay unity must begin with both parties being the two largest Malay-based parties, he said.

"If Umno and PAS unite, I believe the Malays will once again be brought together."

He added that if divided, the Malays, while the majority population in the country, would be nothing more than numbers.

An alliance between Umno and PAS would be a revival of the 2019 Muafakat Nasional (MN) pact, which sought to unite the Malay-Muslim community in elections following the 2018 general elections.

There are increasing calls for the revival of MN amidst an ongoing internal feud in the opposition Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition, but this would mean Umno would have to turn its back on the Unity government.

The alliance was also designed to run against the ruling Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition, of which incumbent prime minister Anwar Ibrahim is currently the chairman.

Umno, as part of Barisan Nasional (BN), became strange bedfellows in 2022 when PAS won the most seats in Parliament of any single party, but Anwar's PH won the most seats overall, although falling short of a majority.

He would attain that majority by striking a deal with old foes BN, led by Ahmad Zahid Hamidi following the fall of Najib Razak from grace.

This saw the likes of Akmal technically in the same government with politicians from parties he once opposed, like the DAP. - mothership

THE DRUM THAT BEAT TOO LOUD, AND THE UNITY THAT NEVER LEFT

WHEN THE HALL EMPTIED BUT THE ECHO REFUSED TO DIE

The UMNO Youth Convention ended yesterday the way many political gatherings do: with resolutions passed, hands raised, voices amplified, and a sense—real or manufactured—that history had been nudged slightly to the left or right.

The headline resolution was predictable: a call for UMNO to withdraw from the Unity Government.

Fine. That is politics. Meetings produce matches; matches produce separations. Politics is a long corridor of handshakes and slammed doors. Nothing is permanent except ambition.

What unsettles is not the resolution itself, but the pitch. The urgency. The megaphone tone deployed by Akmal Saleh, as if the house were on fire and the only available extinguisher was a slogan.

The question, then, is simple:
What exactly is being pursued?

THE MAGIC SPELL CALLED “MALAY UNITY”

We are told—again—that unity between UMNO and PAS will “empower the Malays.”

Empower how?

Economy?
Education?
Technology?
Or is it empowerment by volume—measured in decibels rather than outcomes?

If Malays and Islam are allegedly under threat today, where is the evidence? The country is led by a Malay Prime Minister—Anwar Ibrahim. The cabinet is majority Malay. Malay education policy stands unchallenged. Islamic institutions continue to receive allocations. Social assistance programmes—the largest in the nation’s history—disproportionately benefit the Malay majority. The Malay Rulers remain constitutionally central, symbolically elevated, and institutionally intact.

So where, exactly, is the siege?

Is this threat empirical—or emotional?
Is it born of reality—or manufactured like instant noodles, ready in three minutes with boiling fear?

WHEN THE DRUM IS LOUD, CHECK WHAT IT IS HIDING

It would be more honest to ask the question whispered but never admitted:
Is this sudden cry for unity about race—or about rescue?

When politicians shout “save the Malays,” sometimes what they really mean is “save me.” The volume rises not because the danger is great, but because the courtroom calendar is inconvenient.

If UMNO wishes to leave the Unity Government on principle, then state the principle. Spell it out. Frame it. Defend it. Do not wrap it in the borrowed robes of religion and race like a child hiding behind the curtains, hoping the audience cannot see the feet.

Malay unity should not be a shield for individual desperation.

THE UNITY THAT NEVER NEEDED POLITICIANS

Outside politics, Malays have never been divided.

At the mosque, no one asks for party membership before standing shoulder to shoulder.
At kenduri, no one checks voting history before passing the gulai.
When floods rise, when neighbours fall ill, when funerals arrive unannounced—Malays do not ask which logo you voted for.

That is unity.

It exists quietly, efficiently, and without press conferences. And because it does not generate votes or headlines, politicians rarely acknowledge it.

Politics, ironically, is where “unity” goes to die.

WHEN UNITY BECOMES A CAMPAIGN PRODUCT

The moment “Malay unity” is packaged as a political ticket, it stops being unity and becomes merchandise. It is sold during elections, discounted after defeats, and rebranded every time power slips through fingers.

Worse still, it becomes a tool—not to build strength, but to suppress questions. To redirect anger. To cover failures. To stall accountability.

Unity, when weaponised, ceases to unite. It intimidates.

STRENGTH IS NOT BUILT WITH SHOUTING

If the aim is truly to strengthen the Malays, the foundations are not mysterious.

They are boring.
They are slow.
They are effective.

Education that produces thinkers, not just slogan-repeaters.
An economy that rewards discipline, innovation, and resilience—not permanent subsidy dependency.
Entrepreneurship grounded in value creation, not rent-seeking.
Technological mastery, financial literacy, and the courage to compete without special pleading.

Strong Malays are not created by chants. They are created by capability.

POLITICS AS A TOOL, NOT A CRUTCH

Politics should serve this agenda, not hijack it. It should enable empowerment, not replace it with theatre.

A great nation is not built on fear.
It is not sustained by anger.
It is not rescued by nostalgia.

It is built on confidence, competence, and clarity of purpose.

And as long as “Malay unity” is shouted without a credible plan for knowledge and economic empowerment, it will remain what it increasingly looks like: an echo from a hall that has already emptied—loud, urgent, and steadily losing its audience.

When politicians shout unity, it is worth asking which career is unravelling behind the curtain.

The loudest drum in politics often conceals the weakest hands.

Malay unity is not forged in conventions..it is lived daily in ceramah at masjid, kenduri ka…

Sir Hisham Badrul Hashim Spice, your opinions serve a very strong message that struck deep inside but sadly, when most of that majority did agree, quite a large number of them failed to subscribe to that instinct due to their dependency on hidden agen…

Text book case of distraction and misdirection.

Now United,when come to elections time will fight over seats!

 

Wan Izzuddin Sulaiman

We have heard this clarion call for Malay unity for decades. Nothing new. But under the cloak of Malay unity they plundered Malay assets, all under the disguise of Malay power!

Well said Tn Hisham.
