PM: Rumours of racial clashes are lies

KUALA LUMPUR: Rumours that racial clashes have occurred in Pasir Gudang, Johor, are “lies, lies and nothing more than lies,” said Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

The Prime Minister said the rumours were an attempt to create an uneasy atmosphere, incite anger and tension among the people.

“All these are lies made up by people who have nothing better to do,” he said after chairing the Umno supreme council meeting yesterday.

Abdullah, who is the Umno president, said such lies were slanderous and a big sin for Muslims.

“Allah curses people like that but these people can’t be bothered and do it anyway,” he added.

Yesterday and the day before, Johor was abuzz with rumours that racial fights had broken out in Pasir Gudang.

The police, too, had denied the rumours but some people still avoided going to the area.

To a question on people who raised racially sensitive issues, Abdullah said these people did not think about unity and the good of the country.

“They can give their views but just don’t cause chaos among our people and the country,” he said.

Abdullah said action would be taken on those who go overboard and cause tension among the racial groups.

With only three days to go to the 50th Merdeka celebration, the Prime Minister urged Malaysians to fly the flag and display their pride for the country.

“What’s wrong with spending RM2 or RM3 to buy a flag? This is a very important day for us, a day on which we should express our pride and gratitude for what we have achieved and enjoyed for over 50 years,” he said.

“I hope Malaysians will feel proud. There are other countries where there are internal fights and are poverty stricken. We do not experience such situations – perhaps only once on 13 May (1969).

“So show that you love the country and are grateful that the country is progressive, peaceful and safe. If you don’t get flags for free, buy them. If they are sold out, then make your own,” he said.

Abdullah said not everyone got everything that they wanted and acknowledged that there were still parts of the country which were still not so developed, where there were poor people.

He said the Government would continue to do its duty and bring development to these areas.

“We will continue to do what we have done for the past 50 years,” he added.

My 2 cents:

"We will continue to do what we have done for the past 50 year" = NOTHING good or maybe NOTHING AT ALL!

People I believe is curious to know why the PM rush to calm down a boiling situation that is arising a bit too much over the limit recently not only in the south but almost everywhere else in Malaysia and Singapore as well.

Simple: next GE (General Elections) are knocking at the door and guess what ?
The Government has lost the repution because of too many corruptions scandals recently (see my post of yesterday as one example) and they are afraid to lose this turn of votes in favor of the opposition party leaded by the majority and most powerfull richest and dynamic people in Malaysia: the Chinese community!

Anyway here below you can find 2 import links; I believe you will be delighted to read behind the fake "multi-racial" concept issued by the Government in last 30 years. There is no other countries in the world (imho) where there is so much racism and separation among citizens. It seems to be back of 100 years to something like the Italian's "secret society" with the Chinese living their daily lives undergroundly, running 90% of the national business and mostly carrying the 90% of the private richness of this country with the others, you know who, spindling around asking for free-money after been spoon-feeded by their majors for years pretending that anything must be allowed to them and granted again for free.

Enjoy your reading...
