The Coming Clash of Class
The majority of Malays rejected them. The fact stays that way despite
all the fanciful regression and statistical analyses one can muster. UMNO
remains in power simply because of gerrymandering and its success in fabricating
lies and fear.
I will say this again. UMNO got 3.2 million votes. I am being
charitable by saying that 85% of those came from Malay voters. That would be
2.72 million Malay votes. How many Malay voters came out on the 5th
of May? 70% of the 11.2 million because they wanted to defend UMNO and the Malay
government at all cost? That would give us a figure of 7.84 million. If UMNO got
2.72 million, that means more Malays did not vote for UMNO.
We are indeed moving on beyond GE13. That is why we must continue to
expose BN’s hypocrisy, deceit and outright lies to the people. Our agenda isn’t
finished until this corrupt government is finished off. BN won because it is
corrupt and contemptible. A corrupt regime will use anything legal and illegal
to stay on in power.
Each corrupt element at each level of BN organisational structure
will dig in to protect its own turf. Otherwise the whole game is given away-that
BN has its every finger in the kitty and robbing Malaysia to the bone.
Corruption has already become a cultural thing. Each BN politician is wired up
that way. Each UMNO operative right up to their minions at the village level.
We will continue to expose the hypocrisy of UMNO which is claiming,
it is the vanguard which protects, king, religion, race and country. Not in that
order of course. It rearranges its priorities. UMNO was once at the forefront in
the assault against the Malay monarchy. Now, it is playing the role of a
pit-bull body-guarding the Malay Monarchy because such a stand is of strategic
importance.
In an earlier article, I have illustrated the fallacy of UMNO’s
success by using a common denominator- i.e. the total number of votes won over
the number of seats each party actually won. If we had used uncommon
denominators like the number of votes won over the number of seats each party
contested (i.e. including seats each lost), the success claimed by UMNO will
even be hollower.
So in order to disguise and hide its own shortcomings especially of
the abject failure of the UMNO president, BN blamed the Chinese. BN should be
asking, what have they done or not done, which made the Malaysian Chinese reject
them? BN hasn’t given them a trustworthy
and honest government. The Chinese fortunately recognises this. The Malays
unfortunately have not.
The Chinese as a result of their economic independence have been able
to exercise freedom of choice; The Malays because of their dependent mentality
have been mentally enslaved. It’s easy to manufacture and fabricate the
perception and fallacy that continued Malay deprivation is the result of an
increasingly independent and rapacious Malaysian Chinese population.
Where is that clash that will eventually destroy UMNO coming from? It
will come from the burgeoning downtrodden masses of Malays- the urban and rural
poor, hemmed in and flattened by all sorts of injustices and economic
deprivations.
The clash between Malays and Chinese is a myth. Such a scenario is
illogical. The Chinese form 24% of Malaysia’s population. The Malays 65% of the
population. The civil service is almost entirely Malay. The army and the police,
legal owners of the instruments of suppression are also dominated by the Malays.
The important pillars of governance, the civil service, ministerial positions
and the respective ministries, the executive, the legislature and the judiciary
are all dominated by Malays. Village organizations are permeated by Malay
institutions. We have the various village development and welfare committees and
we have the indoctrinating army of KEMAS employees programming the Malay Mind.
The monarchy is of course wholly Malay.
So how can the Chinese rebel against such a formidable fortress of
institutionalised controlling agents of social regimentation and conformity?
They simply can’t.
The coming clash will not be between a Malay dominated government and
the what else do the Chinese want
community; rather the coming clash will be between the unholy partnership of the
Malay pseudo aristocrats and the Malay bourgeoisie with the burgeoning class of
marginalised and disillusioned Malays. It will be clash between feudalistic UMNO
more interested in preserving an aristocratic way of life and the Malay
‘proletariat’ bursting at the seams with notions of every kind of imaginable
social injustices. Injustices that have been inflicted on them by the
feudalistic and aristocratic UMNO.
