Kesan Peristiwa 13 Mei 1969 - suatu konspirasi?

The shot that changed her life
By LEE HUNG POH

Everyone old enough to remember it has tales to tell. Here are the stories – sad, touching and inspiring – of five individuals who lived through May 13.
I WAS 17 when a bullet changed my whole life. I started working at 13 as my family was poor and there were 10 of us. On that day, I went to work at the F&N factory in Sungei Besi, Kuala Lumpur.
Around 7pm, factory workers arriving for their shift spoke of fights in the streets. I decided to go home. After dinner, I stood at the doorway to see what was happening. Many people were standing outside their houses. We heard shouts and then a police patrol car came by and the men inside started firing shots at our houses.

Lee Hung Poh was 17 (below) when she was crippled by a stray shot. Through sheer determination she has built a life for herself.


I saw two bullets hitting our walls. Another bullet hit my sister’s shoulder. I felt a sharp pain in my stomach and the impact threw me to the floor. I could hear my sisters screaming, “Ah Poh chung cheung!” (Ah Poh has been shot!).
I bled so much that it looked as though a pail of blood had spilled across the floor. Neighbours grabbed a passing car and sent me to the Kuala Lumpur General Hospital.
I was semi-conscious when I reached the hospital. I was sent to a room where there were many dead or badly wounded people. Nobody attended to me until the pain was so great I managed to scream, “Hoi toe!” (Surgery!).
I heard a voice saying, “She is still alive” and then I was wheeled to the operating room.
The bullet had entered through the right side of my belly and exited across the left side of my back. It had cut through the L345 bone of my vertebrae, which controls movement of the lower body.
The doctors told me I would be paralysed for life.
My stomach wound required 21 stitches. A few days later, it became infected and I went for a second surgery. I had over 10 surgeries and suffered from bedsores.
The real damage was not visible. I could not laugh or shout because any exertion caused incontinence. I was terrified to go out and had low self esteem. Fever broke out frequently and the pain in my legs was so intense that only morphine helped.
I constantly thought of my future. What would I do? Who would want me? My parents cried constantly. In those days, it was shameful to be a cripple.
My father and I were very close; he was badly affected by what happened to me. He started drinking heavily. He’d sit on my bed and cry.
The next year, a disabled organisation held a fund-raising campaign to send me to China for treatment. The Star did a story on me and helped raise RM3,000 for the trip.
I carried all my hope to China. But I returned without any.
Acupuncture helped strengthen my legs which were as thin as matchsticks. But after 10 months in Beijing, I did not even recover 50% of what I’d hope for. I was so disappointed that during the five-day boat trip back to Malaysia, I’d thought of jumping overboard. I had little education and no skills. What could I do for my future?
Then in 1972 a doctor at a Hong Kong Hospital heard about my story and invited me for treatment. I took a RM500 loan to fly to Hong Kong. A metal rod was inserted into my back to enable to stand. But to this day I am unable to walk unaided.
I discovered later that the doctor had performed the surgery for free. I will always be grateful to him for his kindness.
When I came home, I learnt that my home had been demolished and my family scattered. I was determined to be independent. I set up a stall selling fruits along the five-foot way in Sungei Besi. I also sold popcorn and soya bean along Jalan Hang Tuah and sewed clothes and curtains at night.
After 10 years, I saved enough money to open a small sundry shop in Taman Segar, Cheras, with a friend.
I even got my driver’s licence and I deliver goods in my secondhand Proton. A few years later, I bought a nearby flat.
My father died in 1979. In 1996, my mother moved in to live with me until her death last year.
They say time heals but it’s not true. Every year on May 13, I feel the need to hide in my room. I just can’t face this date.
Today I live independently. I have many friends. I harbour a dream of visiting Venice, a city built on water!
But I do feel bitter –there has been no acknowledgement of what happened to me. But then, no one can give me back my health, or my years. What can ever compensate what I’ve lost? – as told to CHIN MUI YOON
Lee Hung Poh, 57, lives in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur.

Bila Bumiputera membuli Bukan Bumiputera...

Bila kita dibuli dengan harga rumah lebih tinggi...

Bila kita dibuli dengan tanah rezab melayu yang tak terbeli...

Bila kita dibuli tiada kontrak untuk bukan Bumi...

Bila kita dibuli tiada biasiswa diberi...

Bila kita dibuli tiada peluang menjadi siswa dan siswi...

Bila kita dibuli di negara kita sendiri...

Apakah perlu kita berdiam diri?

Contoh paling jelas ialah apabila anggota Polis bukan Bumiputera tidak mendapat pembelaan, Balu mereka dan anak-anak mereka juga rakyat kelas kedua...bacalah keratan akhbar Utusan Malaysia di bawah (walaupun sudah diedit kerajaan)...

"Presidennya, P. Gunaseelan berkata, sumbangan itu diberikan bagi mengurangkan beban tanggungan kedua-dua keluarga itu yang telah kehilangan tempat bergantung sejak setahun lalu.

Beliau mendakwa, kebajikan keluarga berkenaan telah diabaikan dan mereka tidak mendapat bantuan secukupnya daripada pihak yang berkenaan.

“Contohnya, balu kepada mendiang Lans Koperal Jayabalan Jayakrishan iaitu Malini Venugopal hanya memperoleh RM1,000 daripada tabung kebajikan polis, RM12,000 daripada hasil perkhidmatan selama sepuluh tahun mendiang suaminya sebagai polis, RM5,000 daripada kerajaan negeri Melaka dan wang pencen sebanyak RM332 sebulan.

“Jumlah ini adalah tidak berbaloi dengan sumbangan mereka kepada masyarakat, apatah lagi dalam keadaan kenaikan kos sara hidup pada masa kini,’’ katanya selepas majlis penyerahan cek kepada balu anggota polis itu di sini hari ini.

Pada 25 Oktober tahun lalu, dua anggota polis, Jayabalan Jayakrishan dan Alagesan a/l Mariyappan terkorban selepas ditembak semasa menjalankan operasi membanteras jenayah dadah.

Jayabalan meninggalkan seorang balu, Malini Venugopal, 28, dan seorang anak, Keertika, 5, manakala Alagesan pula meninggalkan seorang balu, Kalaivani a/p Seerangasamy dan dua orang anak; Agilan, 10, serta Jeevan, 8.

Gunaseelan berkata, PPRM akan membela nasib kedua-dua keluarga itu dan akan memastikan mereka memperoleh bantuan yang sepatutnya.

“Kami telah menghantar surat kepada Kementerian Dalam Negeri untuk meminta pihak kerajaan supaya memberi bantuan kepada keluarga ini.

“Kerajaan harus peka dan simpati terhadap keluarga anggota polis yang terkorban semasa menjalankan tugas,’’ tegasnya.

Beliau menambah, permohonan skim pendidikan percuma yang mereka pohon juga ditolak atas alasan bantuan itu hanya untuk kakitangan polis yang berpendapatan kurang RM700 sebulan." - Sumber: Utusan Online bertarikh 11/08/2008.


Polis dan tentera berjuang bermati-matian... Anak-anak mereka bukan bumiputera, mereka berkorban demi negara tetapi apa terjadi bila mereka terkorban semasa mempertahankan negara, melawan musuh, melawan penjenayah... tiada apa-apa yang dapat diperkatakan, kerajaan memang menzalimi mereka. Dah lah mati sia-sia...anak-anak tidak akan terbela kerana mereka tiada quota istimewa untuk ke universiti, isteri perlu bekerja lebih keras untuk membeli rumah dengan harga lebih tinggi, tanah pula rata-rata rezab Melayu, yang freehold harganya berkali ganda, mencari kerja di jabatan kerajaan pula bukanlah mudah kerana warna kulit/ kronisme dan nepotisme menjadi kayu pengukur. Bolehkah anda terima fakta ini? Ini bukan pembohongan tetapi kenyataan yang menghantui penduduk bukan Bumiputera...



Kelantan Chinese Peranakan is truely Malaysian

"The Unique Cina Kampung" - quoted from The Star online / http://kuali.com/services/printerfriendly.asp?file=ethnicfood/2006/9/69theu&sec
Tuesday, September 19, 2006
By SHARON TAN Pictures by YAP CHEE HONG
Gan Awang looks like a typical elderly Chinese gentleman, albeit with a slight tan. His greets his guests, however, in perfect Kelantanese Malay -- so perfect that with your eyes closed, you would think that it was a local Malay speaking. In fact, Cikgu Lah, as he is commonly known, is a well-known Mathematic teacher.
Cikgu Lah and Chia plucking the various types of leaves found in their house compound to make khau jam.

Cikgu Lah and his family are part of the Cina Kampung community unique to Kelantan. Their language (Malay sometimes interspersed with Thai and Hokkien words), looks and culture set them apart from other Chinese communities.
Cikgu Lah’s son, Gan Tong Hock, also a renowned Bahasa Malaysia teacher, is more comfortable speaking in Malay than in English. “During my university years in Kuala Lumpur, I was often mistaken for a Malay -- so getting lunch during the fasting month could be difficult! The fact that I spoke no Mandarin or any other Chinese dialect didn’t help matters,” said Gan with a laugh.
The Hokkien used by the Cina Kampung is similar to that spoken in Penang and Kedah. Although Cikgu Lah and his children do not converse in Mandarin, his grandchildren do, as they are educated in Chinese vernacular schools. Nonetheless, the language used at home remains Malay.
The forefathers of today’s Cina Kampung arrived on Kelantanese shores from the Fujian province in China some eight generations ago.
“They came as pencuci kapal (ship cleaners) and settled along the riverbanks of the Kelantan River, all the way from Sabak at the mouth of the river to Kuala Krai upriver,” explained Gan.
“When our ancestors arrived, they settled on uninhabited land known as tanah dong, which means ‘land without owners’. Those who teroka (worked) the land ended up being the legal owners,” he said.

Budu is made by packing fish and salt in clay urns which are left to ferment in the sun for at least six months.
Today there are about 47 Cina Kampung settlements in Kelantan; most are within, or surrounded by, Malay villages and their houses follow traditional kampung house architecture. Cikgu Lah’s house in Kampung Chepa sits in the middle of a large, lush compound. Most of the part-wood, part-concrete house perches on concrete stilts; the kitchen, situated around the back, is built on flat ground. The house is large, but the surrounding compound is larger still. Rambutan, mango and mangosteen trees provide shade, and pots full of flowers add splashes of colour. Kampung chickens run helter-skelter when cars enter the compound.
Because this community lives exclusively in the villages, they are known as Cina Kampung, as opposed to the town Chinese or Cina Bandar.
The community embraces Malay attire as much as it does the language. Cikgu Lah’s wife, Chia Fung Kew, wears the sarung both at home and when she goes out, like most women of her generation. The men on the other hand sport the kain pelikat (chequered sarung for men) at home, just like their Malay counterparts.
According to Gan Tong Hock, the community’s lifestyle mirrors that of the Malays because “We campur with them, and we have lived among them for so many generations”. In spite of the adoption of other cultural aspects however, the community remains devoutly Buddhist, with very few having embraced other religions.
Sporting a Malay name (or nickname) is also a norm. Gan is known until today as “Sohok”, a name coined by his Malay playmates. “My father was given the name Gan Awang at birth, but when he went to a Malay school, his teacher called him Dollah and it stuck. My grandfather then registered his name as Abdullah bin Balisen, Balisen being his own name,” said Gan.
“Till now, no one in the kampung knows Gan Awang -- they all know Cikgu Lah!”
The Cina Kampung usually marry within their own community. Initially, marriage between the Cina Kampung and the Chinese from town was rare, fraught with communication problems and differences in their ways of life. After all, men who spoke no Mandarin found it difficult to court the Chinese girls from town, and it took a bit of adjustment for a town Chinese to marry a Cina Kampung.
“However, that is beginning to change now, especially among those from the younger generation who speak Mandarin,” explained Gan. He married a fellow Cina Kampung, who is also a distant cousin.
“Most of us are related, one way or another,” he said.

Bottled Budu.

Members of the Cina Kampung community do not use the term “peranakan” for themselves, unlike the Babas and Nonyas from Malacca and Penang who are of Chinese-Malay descent. The term is only used by academicians or for official purposes, such as when the community established the Kelantan Peranakan Chinese Association in 1987. In order to join the association, potential members must be able to trace their Kelantanese ancestry for three generations.
According to Gan, one of the objectives of the association being established was to secure bumiputera status for its members from the government. However, like the Babas and Nonyas, the Cina Kampung did not receive bumiputera status.
Not many Malaysians know of the unique lifestyle of the Cina Kampung community. They essentially remain one of the few communities in the country that have adopted much of the local culture and way of life without compromising their roots.
Cina Kampung Cuisine: Melting pot of Chinese, Malay and Thai
Cina Kampung cuisine is characterised by the use of ingredients such as lemongrass, galangal, budu (fermented anchovies mixed in salt), palm sugar and local herbs, which are also widely used by the Thais and Malays. You’ll find budu in particular used abundantly as both a cooking ingredient and a dip at the dining table.
The availability of different leaves in the kampung surroundings and a strong Malay influence to the cuisine have resulted in kerabu and ulam becoming fixtures in the Cina Kampung diet. The ulam is eaten with budu, and some types of kerabu have a dash of coconut milk added for a richer texture.
One of the signature dishes is the khau jam (“mixed rice” in Thai), which is also called nasi kerabu. This is served during special occasions such as Chinese New Year and other Chinese festivals. The rice is eaten with finely-sliced ulam such as polygonum, lemongrass and torch ginger, pounded grilled fish, sambal, kerisik and the ubiquitous budu.
The rice is cooked in a mixture of juices blended from about 30 different leaves such as cekur, ketuk, mata ayer and na dam, which means “black face” in Thai.
“The leaves that we use can be found around the house compound -- in fact, any leaves that the goats eat, we can also eat,” chuckled Cikgu Lah’s wife, Chia Fung Kew. The 65-year-old grandmother is much sought after as a cook for local wedding banquets.
According to her, the leaves used -- and the local or Thai names they are known by -- vary according to locale. Some have healing properties.
“The juice of these leaves lends a dark green hue to the rice. Don’t use too many leaves -- some are “heaty”. Just one leaf or sprig of each type will do,” explained Chia, as she walked through her garden collecting the leaves.
Cikgu Lah records the names of the leaves for reference, but his relatives still rely on him and his wife to pick the necessary leaves for them when they want to make khau jam.
Thai influence is apparent in the Cina Kampung cooking technique for curry. Instead of first frying the pounded ingredients in hot oil and then adding coconut milk, they cook according to the southern Thai style. Coconut milk is the first ingredient into the pot followed by the pounded ingredients. The mixture is allowed to simmer before the meats are added. The end result is comparatively less robust and oily, and more subtle.
As most of the Cina Kampung settlements are along the riverbanks, fish features prominently in their daily diet.
“Whether it is grilled, marinated in turmeric and fried, or cooked singgang-style in a soup made with dried chillies, tamarind peel and onions, there is usually a fish dish on the table,” said Chia.
Crab tanghoon (glass noodles) curry is another popular dish, often served at weddings. A less glamorous version has the crab and glass noodles substituted with hard-boiled eggs, but the result is just as appetising!
Pork is reserved for special occasions, and during these festivities dishes like hong bak (braised belly pork) are must-haves.
The cuisine of the Cina Kampung retains a home-cooked feel, and in fact remains largely to be found in homes. However, there is a restaurant in Wakaf Bahru (one of the more heavily-populated settlements) where one can have a taste of their food. The family-run Kg. Kulim Restaurant is very popular with the locals, and retains the same rustic, home-cooked feel.

Don't subsidise fuel, don't tax cars (The Star, Jimmy Wah, Bayan Lepas Penang)

I would like to highlight a letter to The Star editor by Jimmy Wah, Bayan Lepas, Penang.....Don't subsidise fuel, don't tax cars.

I agree with Dzof Azmi's argument in Fuelling trouble with petrol subsidies, (Contradictheory, StarMag, March 30) that the government cannot afford to subsidise petrol and keep prices artificially low forever.

However, I want to point out that when you talk about the price of petrol, you have to also talk abou the price of cars in Malaysia. These two items go hand in hand, something that Dzof failed to mention.

If one expects the rakyat to pay the real price of petrol (say, RM3 per litre) in future when the petrol subsidy is zero, then the price of cars must also be real, i.e. be tax free.

If one expects the people to pay the full, real-world price of petrol - and i must say it is a perfectly reasonable expectations - then the rakyat expects, also reasonably, to buy cars at real-world prices, without the exorbitant taxes currently imposed.

For example, a Toyota Corolla at the real price of US$19,000 (RM60,500) instead of artificially high at RM117,000.

Now, when the average consumers buys a car, he has already paid (in the form of import duties, excise duties, and sales tax) to the government, in advance, a sum greater than the petrol subsidy he can expect to enjoy over the time he owns the car.

Let me give you an example. If a consumer buys a Toyota Corolla at RM117,000, the tax he pays, up front, to the Government is more than RM50,000.

Then, he enjoys the fuel subsidy each time he fills up with petrol. The benefit from the RM50,000 that he has paid, in advance, it will take approximately 16 years (assuming he uses 60 litres of petrol a week and the subsidy is RM1 per litre)!

So, it is not fair to say that the subsidy of petrol has to be reduced or removed when the commodity price goes up, without reducing or abolishing the hefty taxes on cars.

You can't use the "cheapest petrol in South-East Asia" and "price of crude oil has skyrocketed" excuses to justify the reduction in petrol subsidy as long as the ridiculously high tax is imposed on cars.

The rakyat won't buy your story because we know that we, as motorists, have already paid for the petrol "subsidy". In advance.

Kemiskinan Bukan Dilabel Pada Warna Kulit Dan Kaum.

Adakah ini orang Melayu? Tidak saudara-saudari, ini muka orang Cina yang sudah berzaman duduk di Kelantan dan sudah sebati dengan adat resam orang Melayu, sesetengah tahu tulis dan baca Jawi dan sedikit ayat Al -Quran walaupun dia bukan Islam. Mereka inilah sebenarnya orang Malaysia kerana mereka tidak lagi bertutur seperti orang Cina di China atau orang Cina di Taiwan, sesetengah mereka tidak tahu pun bercakap bahasa Cina dengan fasih, bahasa harian mereka ialah bahasa Cina campur Melayu campur Siam. Mereka adalah golongan "minoriti dalam minoriti", orang Cina MCA tidak mengiktiraf mereka Cina, orang Melayu tidak mengiktiraf mereka Melayu, jadi siapakah mereka? Merekalah bangsa Malaysia!!!



Adakah ini rumah orang Melayu? Tidak saudara-saudari, bukan semua Cina hidup senang, bukan semua Melayu hidup susah, samalah juga bagi kaum India dan kaum-kaum lain. Oleh itu, kenapa DEB hanya membantu orang Melayu? DEB sepatutnya menjadi dasar dalam membantu semua rakyat miskin, tak kira dia Melayu ke, India ke, Cina ke atau orang Asli. Kita hanya melihat orang kulit putih buli orang kulit hitam, orang Rusia tindas orang Islam Chenya dan contoh paling dekat sekali ialah orang Thai Buddhis tindas orang Islam di Selatan Thailand, tetapi kita lupa atau buat-buat lupa, kita sendiri menindas rakyat sendiri, kita sendiri menilai rakyat melalui warna kulit. Kuman diseberang sungai kita nampak, tapi gajah di depan, kita tak nampak. Itulah, patutlah BN kalah baru-baru ini.

13 Mei 1969 : Satu Konspirasi Politik

Kata Konfusius, ahli Falsafah China yang terkemuka bahawa "Politik itu kotor"...
Peristiwa 13 Mei tidak lain dan tidak bukan hanyalah sendiwara politik pemimpin-pemimpin Melayu ketika itu dalam cubaan mereka untuk mencari jalan singkat dalam meningkatkan ekonomi puak tertentu (iaitu satu ciri semangat Assabiyah yang diwarisi sejak zaman Jahiliah).
Siapa Melayu?
Perkataan "Melayu" sendiri bermakna "menjadi layu" dan orang Barat yang mengkaji cara hidup orang Melayu juga menulis bahawa orang Melayu ketika itu adalah pemalas. Mereka bekerja "kais pagi, makan pagi, kais petang makan petang". Pepatah Melayu juga ada mengatakan "rezeki secupak tak akan menjadi segantang", inilah yang melemahkan masyarakat Melayu dahulu, tetapi adakah hari ini mereka telah berubah?
Tafsiran Melayu hari ini adalah sangat subjektif dan berdasarkan Perlembagaan semata-mata. Jati diri sebenar Melayu memang tidak ada definisi khas, kerana Melayu sebenarnya datang dari Negara China (Yunnan) dan antara mereka menjadi pelaut dan petani dan sesetengah mereka digelar "Orang Laut" semasa pemerintahan Sultan Melaka. Pada awalnya kerajaan Melaka pun bukan beragama Islam dan mereka juga Melayu tetapi Melayu Hindu, Paramewara itu Melayu!

Tetapi kalau hari ini Parameswara masih hidup, dia bukan lagi Melayu mengikut Perlembagaan Malaysia. Mengapa? Mengikut Perlembagaan Malaysia "Melayu" itu adalah mereka yang mengamalkan cara hidup melayu dan beragama Islam.
Sesiapa yang mengamalkan cara hidup seperti orang Melayu seperti memakai kain sarong, amal adat resam Melayu dan beragama Islam dianggap "Melayu". Tak kiralah mereka ini baru datang ke Malaysia hari ini, asalkan mereka masuk Islam, boleh jadi mereka berasal dari Asia Barat, China, Jepun, Thailand, Kemboja, India, Eropah dan banyak lagi. Anak mereka boleh dapat tawaran ke UiTM, Biasiswa JPA, Kursus Matrikulasi dan Kursus-kursus yang dikhaskan untuk kaum Bumiputera. Cuba pula anda siasat apakah asal usul Perdana Menteri kita, adakah Tunku Abdul Rahman berasal dari Thailand, Mahathir dari Pakistan dan bakal PM baru seperti Anwar dari India... oops bukan Anwar tapi Khairy dari mana ? Macam Saudara Zahid H berasal dari Indon baru generasi kedua pun dah dapat status Bumiputra, saya yang sejak moyang lagi, lebih 5 generasi duduk kat sini pun tak dapat status Bumiputra. Ini sangat tidak adil kepada kaum lain yang bukan beragama Islam tetapi mengamalkan cara hidup seperti orang Melayu seperti Cina Kampung di Kelantan, Cina Peranakan Melaka dan juga Kaum-kaum minoriti lain yang sudah berzaman tinggal di tanah ini.
Islam itu adil.
Islam tidak pernah menindas orang Bukan Islam, Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. semasa pemerintahan Islam di Madinah juga tidak pernah menidakkan hak orang Bukan Islam, malah orang Yahudi juga mendapat kedudukan yang sama seperti orang Islam ketika itu, bacalah Piagam Madinah. Agama Islam memang adil tetapi pemimpin Melayu yang korup dan pemalas sentiasa mencari jalan pintas untuk menghalalkan tindakan mereka. Ia telah mencemar nama baik agama itu sendiri. Itulah juga yang merosakkan kepercayaan kaum lain, sehinggakan orang Melayu sendiri berpecah kerana "sistem quota" ciptaan pemimpin-pemimpin Melayu negara ini. Mengucaplah wahai pemimpin-pemimpin Melayu, cubalah tiru kepimpinan Nabi, janganlah menghunus keris ke arah mereke yang lemah, bersainglah secara adil kalau berani, ingatlah pada tuhan.

Senjata digalas, menjadi pengganas,
Bush dikeji, apatah lagi PBB,
Belajar Malas, Kerja pun Malas,
Tiada 13 Mei, Tiada DEB.
Tiada 13 Mei, Tiada DEB.
Mengapa Peristiwa 13 Mei begitu penting dalam agenda politik negara? Sekiranya anda masih tidak faham, cuba selesaikan masalah ini.
Agenda anda / Persoalan?
Anda takutkan kuasa ekonomi Cina, anda takutkan jumlah penduduk India yang beranak-pinak, anda takutkan jumlah populasi Melayu tidak seramai bukan Melayu, anda takutkan kuasa Sultan akan hilang, anda takutkan agama Islam tercabar dan anda takutkan orang bukan Melayu yang semakin berkuasa...macam mana anda hendak selesaikannya....bagaimana hendak mendapat persetujuan orang bukan Melayu agar bersetuju dengan DEB? Malalui DEB orang Melayu dapat menambah jumlah orang Melayu dalam Universiti Tempatan, orang Melayu dapat lebih kontrak untuk projek pembinaan, orang Melayu dapat kelebihan dalam jual beli rumah, orang Melayu dapat kelebihan dalam pinjaman kewangan dan orang Melayu dapat menambah kekayaan mereka secara terang-terangan tanpa bantahan orang Bukan Melayu. Macam mana hendak mendiskriminasi kaum lain secara terang-terang?
Jawapannya / Tindakan anda

Kita adakah huru-hara, lumpuhkan ekonomi orang Cina, ada-adakan cerita orang Cina dibunuh orang Melayu, orang Melayu bunuh Cina atau upah orang membuat kacau dan membunuh. Api-apikan orang Melayu dan api-apikan orang Cina sehingga pemimpin Cina bersetuju untuk berunding. Maka ajukan isu kekayaan yang tidak rata antara Orang Cina dan Melayu tanpa menghirau sesetengah kedudukan orang India yang jauh lebih miskin daripada orang Melayu. Pemimpin Melayu hanya "memegang" kepala-kepala Cina dan India untuk mencapai cita-cita politik mereka. Itulah yang dipanggil dasar "pecah dan perintah" atau Dasar "devide and rule". Pemimpin Cina masa itu telah "dibeli" dan senang sahaja untuk "diuruskan" agar bersetuju dengan Dasar Ekonomi Baru" yang kononnya digubal untuk membantu orang Melayu. Adakah kekacauan yang berlaku itu disengajakan atas alasan ketidakseimbangan ekonomi atau adakah ia sekadar mencari alasan untuk meraih kuasa melalui kekayaan ekonomi?

Dasar "Devide and Rule" yang diperkenalkan oleh British masih diteruskan hingga ke hari ini kerana Umno merasakan ia menguntungkan golongan elit Melayu, dengan hanya memegang Kepala Cina, Kepala India dan Kepala puak-puak pribumi Kadazan/ Dusun serta Kepala Dayak akan memudahkan tugas golongan Melayu elit untuk memerintah Malaysia. Tengoklah kesannya pada hari ini. Pemimpin-pemimpin Melayu boleh tersenyum melihat kejayaannya memperbodohkan pemimpin-pemimpin Cina dan India.
