I was really, really shocked to read the title of the article in NST. No group marginalised from govt policies?
We have never had policies and programmes only meant for a certain group of people. It was never ever done under the Barisan Nasional leadership,…
Oh my God! The above really takes the cake. Then what does one say about MARA, KPDNHEP’s programmes, NEP, JAKIM, ASN, Syariah court, UITM, and so many others which cater for certain group only? Please, can someone tell me if I’m dreaming or is this Twillight Zone?
…expressed concern over Malaysia’s dependency on foreign workers. “Our barbers are now foreigners. Cooks are also foreigners and we have some two million foreigners in the country working in different sectors,…
And who allowed all this to happen? The public or those in power for last 50 years? I suppose the foreign workers just parachuted down from the sky and started working immediately.
ELECTION 2008: No group marginalised from government policies: Najib

SEPANG:
No group has been marginalised or left out in government policies and programmes, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak. He said when the government implements policies and programmes it was meant for all Malaysians irrespective of religion, race, skin colour, age or creed.
“We have never had policies and programmes only meant for a certain group of people. It was never ever done under the Barisan Nasional leadership,” he added at the ground-breaking ceremony for Rumah Harapan Kanak-kanak HIV/AIDS (Miracle of Hope Home) in Salak Tinggi here yesterday,
Najib, who is BN deputy chairman, said the BN government had always ensured that it gave equal access to opportunities which were fair to all.
On the notion of a welfare state being propagated by Pas, Najib said it was not appropriate for the nation to copy that concept where those who were unemployed be given monthly welfare allowance by the government. If we follow that system, then those working will be forced to pay more taxes to enable the government to pay allowances to the unemployed,” he said adding that even developed countries are now finding it not sustainable,” he said. “We are just a developing nation and if we have such a system we will become bankrupt. We want all Malaysians to work.”
The deputy prime minister also expressed concern over Malaysia’s dependency on foreign workers. “Our barbers are now foreigners. Cooks are also foreigners and we have some two million foreigners in the country working in different sectors,” he said.
He also pointed out that Terengganu which was once a Pas-led state is now being ruled by the BN because the people had realised that they can only see development and progress which would benefit them if they voted for the BN. Similarly, he added, the winds of change of government is also being felt by the people in Kelantan.
is he a joker or leader ? We dont need to look for comedy movies during election period . There are many comedians will rise like sun during this period , particularly from BN .
Happy laughing !
FW: Jawi road signs in KL roads but indian and chinese still vote BN “great”
Today The Sun (12 Feb 08) reported “Jawi road signs in KL” and the
reason given by the DBKL was “directions in Jawi was part of the
government’s effort to promote Islam Hadhari and tourism. It’s also a
chance for non-muslims to learn Jawi.”
Totally a stupid reason. At the first place, officers in DBKL it self
failed to understand the meaning of Islam Hadhari and most of them are
distancing their self from the concept. It’s most stupid brains to
think the non-muslim will learn the Jawi just by looking at the sign
board. When majority of malay muslim’s it self fail to learn or master
the Jawi although after going through the official education for the
number of the years, how do DBKL expect the nons will learn by just
looking at the signage?
Some of the malay muslim’s policy makers believe they will be more
Islamic then others by just converting the roman alphabets into jawi.
They believe the outlook must be Islamic rather than inner says. These
are the policy makers who make noises when they see english signage
but trigger happy to convert the signage to jawi even though it was in
Bahasa Malaysia. When it’s come for the Mandarin and Tamil language
this no-sense policy makers will talk about the “National Language
Policy” but they ignore the policy when it’s come for the Jawi in the
name of Hadhari.
The open secret of Malaysian Malays is identity crisis. They feel more
secure to identify their self as muslim rather than Malay’s but they
fail to understand even the muslims in middle east are looking down at
them because for the middle east, non middle east muslims are the
second class muslim community. The originality of muslims belongs to
middle east muslim and non middle east is “mualaf”.
We are in Malaysia, so called multi culture, multi racial, multi
religion yet the DBKL’s decision doesn’t represent the concept of
multi malaysian’s. Supposedly DBKL should used the Tamil and Mandarin
signage too rather than poking their nose to unknown language for the
majority of Malaysian. It’s a waste of people’s money too
good website. We shall cotact later for more comments. regards.
