Sime Darby, keep your filthy paws off IJN !

I'm glad that the govt has agreed to postpone the privatisation of Institut Jantung Negara (IJN) (National heart Institute) by Sime Darby. The IJN has given excellent service to many Malaysian heart patients, rich and poor. If it was privatised (diswastakan) , many poor patients will not be able to be treated . Privatised institutions are notorious for raising fees beyond the means of low-income earners. Sime Darby has no good reason to take over the IJN, other than to make money from people's miseries and to fill the wallets of its cronies. Finance minister and in-coming PM Najib, the postponement is to enable the govt and Sime Darby to further study the matter. That is all bullshit, you know and I know and Najib also knows, this privatisation will become an issue at the coming Kuala Terengganu by-elections, and the BN will lose a lot of votes as well as the seat, if the govt goes thru with it. Even the doctors at IJN are against it. No decent Malaysian wants it. So, Sime Darby and cronies keep your filthy paws off IJN.

Ketuanan Melayu

Ketuanan Melayu or Malay Supremacy or Malays Must Be the Boss and other races just shut up or get arrested for sedition. Every day, the press and TV stations keep on highlighting this topic. Who's for, who's against, who's got a point of view. I'm telling you Malaysians, this ketuanan thing is already established. The Agung is a Malay, the PM and DPM are Malays, the Chief Justice is Malay, the Armed Forces chief is Malay, the Inspector General of Police is Malay, the Attorney General is Malay, the top civil servant is a Malay, most of the GLC 's CEOs are Malay or Bumiputra. Wonder why the Malays are so worked up about this Malay supremacy thingy ? The Malaysian Chinese, Indians and other races are not trying to take over those positions. Its all in the minds of simple minded Malays, brain-washed by desperate unsuccessful Malay politicians and businessmen. What the non-Malays want is fairness, due justice and equal opportunities. If a non-Malay is better qualified , let him or her have that chance. Do'nt pick a second rater just because he or she is a Malay/bumiputra. I'm a 'certified' Malay (just like Dr Mahathir, Hussein Onn, Pak Lah). My roots stretch out everywhere from Turkey, India, Sri Lanka, China and the Nusantara islands. To me, this Ketuanan Melayu is just political crap.
