I’m sorry, Dr M, but Malays are not lazy | Malaysia | The Malay Mail Online

I’m sorry, Dr M, but Malays are not lazy | Malaysia | The Malay Mail Online

Earlier this week, Malay Mail Online posted a video with the title "Are Malaysians racist?" The video has sparked some debate about whether it was scientific enough to draw any conclusions.
It wasn't scientific. It was just a snapshot of people who made a decision to refuse to say racist things.
And, frankly, we have to decide all the time not to be racist. It's a decision we should consciously try to make all the time.
So forget about whether the video was scientific, or whether different demographics would have had no problems in saying racist things.
For now just take the video at face value and use the people in the short film as role models.

Killing people without trial against Islam, Dr M tells would-be Malaysian jihadists | Malaysia | The Malay Mail Online

Malaysian
police intelligence also warned last month that citizens who joined the
Islamist militant group Islamic State (IS) to launch strikes in Iraq and Syria, are now training their
sights on their home government and several other targets in the country.
The
police said 19 suspected local militants have been arrested between April and
June this year while they were on their way to Turkey
and Syria
for training and support from IS under the guise of “humanitarian work”.
The
group was planning to establish a hardline Southeast Asian Islamic caliphate
which would include Malaysia,
Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines
and Singapore.
Putrajaya
has designated the IS, formerly known as Islamic State in Iraq and the
Levant (ISIL), as a terrorist group.
The group
has been in spotlight again today with a video claiming to behead its hostage,
British aid worker David Haines, its third public murder so far.

British PM David Cameron says he will 'drain this poison' after latest ISIS beheading video | Fox News



British
Prime Minister David Cameron said Sunday he will work with allies to defeat the
terrorist group Islamic State, and that countries must “drain this poison from
our society,” after the militants released a video showing the beheading of
British aid worker David Haines.
Cameron,
who was attending a wedding on Saturday, raced back to London overnight to chair a meeting of his
security Cabinet, including his advisers, officials and intelligence chiefs.
The Prime Minister described the murder of Haines as "an act of pure
evil" in a tweet from his official account.


The
44-year-old Haines was abducted in Syria in 2013 while working for an
international aid agency. The British government had managed to keep his
kidnapping secret out of concern for his safety until another video recently
released by Islamic State, also known as ISIS, identified him as a captive.

“My

Remember then,
Dreaming of when

Our childhood fears
Would be gone with the years.

Now we look at the past
Wondering why it didn't last.

Days in the hot sun
Always having fun.

Going for a ride
Letting the bike glide.

Biking, sledding,
Swimming, swinging,

Days of old
Never to be sold.

Signs of change
Widely range.

Moving away
No more play.

Friends forever
Talk almost never.

Through the years,
Our lives shift gears.

Laughter, smiles,
Fears, miles,

Distant souls
Drifting goals.

Friendship the art
Connects our hearts.

Now that it is when
We dream of Then.

May the blessings of Allah
fill your life with happiness
and open all the doors of success
now and always.

One Little Indian Boy (Merdeka 1996 & 1997)



After six weeks of campaigning, the Alliance swept 51 of the 52 seats.
The election cemented the coalition of different
ethnic parties which agreed for Umno president Tunku Abdul Rahman to be
appointed Chief Minister of Malaya. His
Cabinet comprised six Malays, three Chinese and one Indian.
The Pan-Malayan Islamic Party, later known as PAS, was
the only opposition party not wiped out, winning the Krian constituency in
Perak.
The electorate rejected outright Parti Negara, led by
former Umno president Datuk Onn Jaafar, the socialist Labour Party, People’s
Progressive Party and other minor groups.
Helicopters and motor launches were among the modes of
transport for bringing out ballot papers from rural areas to counting centres.
Newspapers reported that political parties tried
building enthusiasm for the polls during the five-week campaign but only got
lukewarm response from the 1.28 million eligible voters.
The 1955 election was the final step towards Independence. In 1957,
the Federation of Malaya gained complete Independence
from Britain.
Tunku subsequently led the Alliance
to victories in the 1959, 1964 and 1969 general elections.
After the May 13 riots of 1969, the Alliance transformed into a larger coalition
- Barisan Nasional - with Tun Abdul Razak Hussein leading it to victory in
1974.
Barisan has never lost control of the government
although twice – in 1969 and 2008 - it failed to secure a two-thirds majority.
Throughout the decades, voting patterns reflected the
prevailing communal moods.
Issues that determined the voting pattern in 1955
included the culmination of Malay nationalism, the rise of anti-colonial
sentiments and socialist based parties; Communist insurgency and state of
emergency (1948-1960); and education and better condition of life for working
class.



Boat Race (Merdeka 1999 & 2001)





July 27, 1955
Malaya's
first general election
In an overwhelming victory, the Alliance sweeps 51 of the 52 seats contested
in the Legislative Council Federal Elections (MPP) 1955. Read more...


AFTER more than a century of colonial rule, the rise
of nationalism saw the British loosening their grip on Malaya.
The first local elections was held in Malacca in
November 1951 but all the nominations were returned unopposed. Elections for George Town municipal council in Penang
a month later were the first popular elections in the Federation of Malaya. Kuala Lumpur held its
municipal council elections in 1952.
This was followed by the introduction of a new
Constitution. The United Malays National Organisation (Umno), Malayan Chinese
Association (MCA) and Malayan Indian Congress (MIC) formed a partnership known
as Alliance.
The Malayan Union was formed on April 1, 1946. Umno
was established the same year to oppose the Malayan Union, which curbed the
powers of the Malay Rulers. MIC was set up the same year, and MCA in 1949.
The Malayan Union was replaced by the Federation of
Malaya in 1948.


Nominations for the first federal election were on
June 15, 1955, when a total of 129 candidates – 111 from seven parties and 18
independents – filed their nomination papers for 52 parliamentary seats.

Malaysia’s Road to Merdeka and Beyond: An Interactive Timeline
On Aug 31, Malaysia marks her 57th year as a
free and sovereign state. As we celebrate the country’s 57 years of nationhood
since achieving independence in 1957, follow her people’s journey to Merdeka
and beyond.

Malaysian Independence
As Malaysia
celebrates its 57th year of Independence,
we follow the nation's footsteps towards Merdeka and beyond.
January 21, 1948
The 1948 Agreement
The 1948 Agreement sees the establishment of the
Federation of Malaya in place of the Malayan Union.
April 1, 1951 — June 1, 1955
The Member System
The British introduces the Member System to train
locals to administer the country. Members are appointed to certain portfolios
such as Domestic Affairs, though the British retain executive authority and
political control through posts such as High Commissioner and Secretary
General.
Dato' Onn Jaafar (pic) suggested the idea to Sir Henry
Gurney in Kuala Lumpur,
in line with the British decolonisation movement.
December 1, 1951

George Town municipal elections
Though the first local election was held in Malacca in
Nov 1951, all the nominations were returned unopposed. The first popular show
of suffrage is the George Town
local government elections a month later.
February 16, 1952
Kuala Lumpur municipal elections
Tan Sri Devaki Dr Krishnan is the first Malaysian
Indian woman to contest in an open public election in the Federation of Malaya.
She became a municipal councillor for Kuala
Lumpur
in 1952.
February 1, 1953
Working as one for Merdeka
The Alliance
coalition - comprising of the United Malay National Organisation (Umno), the
Malayan Chinese Association (MCA) and the Malayan Indian Congress (MIC) - is
formed.
Working as one for Merdeka
THE ROLE PLAYED BY NON-MALAY POLITICAL LEADERS IN
ENSURING RACIAL HARMONY WAS CRUCIAL TO TUNKU ABDUL RAHMAN’S NEGOTIATIONS FOR AN
INDEPENDENT MALAYA.
TUNKU Abdul Rahman’s greatest achievement lay not only
on what he managed to get out of the British but also in the crafting of a
formula to manage race relations that made Malaysia’s independence and
subsequent nation building possible. 
The Alliance
may not have been Tunku’s idea but it was he who recognised its importance and
nurtured the fledgling coalition until it acquired the strength and authority
to ask for independence. 
Political stability being the key to getting freedom,
Tunku relied greatly on the support and contributions of the leaders of the
three main parties of the Alliance
– Umno, MCA and MIC – and they functioned as members of a closely-knit family
and not as leaders of communal political parties trying to be heroes to their
own people.
