The following keynote speech given by former finance minister and Gua Musang parliamentarian Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah at the 4th Annual Malaysian Student Leaders Summit (MSLS) today.

Malaysiakini

I have played some small role in the life of this nation, but having been on the wrong side of one or two political fights with the powers-that-be, I am not as close to the young people of this country as I would hope to be.

History and the 8 o'clock news are written by the victors. In recent years, the government's monopoly of the media has been destroyed by the technology revolution.

You could say I was also a member of the United Kingdom and Eire Council for Malaysian Students (UKEC). Well, I was, except that belonged to the predecessor of the UKEC by more than 50 years, The Malayan Students Union of the UK and Eire. I led this organisation in 1958/59.

I was then a student of Queen's University at Belfast, as well as at Lincoln's Inn. In a rather cooler climate than Kota Bharu's, we campaigned for decolonisation. We demonstrated in Trafalgar Square and even in Paris. We made posters and participated in British elections.

Your invitation to participate in the MSLS was prefaced by an essay that calls for an intellectually informed activism. I congratulate you on this. The Youth of today, you note, “will chart the future of Malaysia.” You say you “no longer want to be ignored and leave the future of our Malaysia at the hands of the current generation.” You “want to grab the bull by the horns... and have a say in where we go as a society and as a nation.”

I feel the same, actually. A lot of Malaysians feel the same. They are tired of being ignored and talked down to.

You are right. The present generation in power has let Malaysia down. But also you cite two things as testimony of the importance of youth and of student activism to this country, the election results of 2008 and “the prime minister's acknowledgement of the role of youth in the development of the country.”

So perhaps you are a little way yet from thinking for yourselves. The first step in “grabbing the bull by the horns” is not to require the endorsement of the prime minister, or any Minister, for your activism. Politicians are not your parents. They are your servants. You don't need a government slogan coined by a foreign PR agency to wrap your project in. You just go ahead and do it.

A man at ease with himself

When I was a student, our newly independent country was already a leader in the post-colonial world. We were sought out as a leader in the Afro-Asian Conference that inaugurated the Non-Aligned Movement and the G-77.

The Afro-Asian movement was led by such luminaries as Zhou En Lai, Nehru, Kwame Nkrumah and Soekarno. Malaysians were seen as moderate leaders capable of mediating between the more radical leaders and the West. We were known for our moderation, good sense and reliability.

We were a leader in the Islamic world as ourselves and as we were, without our leaders having to put up false displays of piety. His memory has been scrubbed out quite systematically from our national consciousness, so you might not know this or much else about him, but it was Tunku Abdul Rahman who established our leadership in the Islamic world by coming up with the idea of the OIC (Organisation of Islamic Conference) and making it happen.

Under his leadership, Malaysia led the way in taking up the anti-apartheid cause in the Commonwealth and in the United Nations, resulting in South Africa's expulsion from these bodies.

Here was a man at ease with himself, made it a policy goal that Malaysia be “a happy country”. He loved sport and encouraged sporting achievement among Malaysians. He was owner of many a fine race horses. He called a press conference with his stewards when his horse won at the Melbourne Cup.

He had nothing to hide because his great integrity in service was clear to all. Now we have religious and moral hypocrites who cheat, lie and steal in office, who propagate an ideologically that shackled the education system for all Malaysians while they send their own kids to elite academies in the West.

Days when we were on top

Speaking of football - you're too young to have experienced the Merdeka Cup that Tunku started. We had a respectable side in the 60s and 70s. Teams from across Asia would come to play in Kuala Lumpur: Teams such as South Korea and Japan, whom we defeated routinely.

We were one of the better sides in Asia. We won the bronze medal at the Asian Games in 1974 and qualified for the Moscow Olympics in 1980. Today our FIFA ranking is 157 out of 203 countries.

That puts us in the lowest quartile, below Maldives (149), the smallest country in Asia, with just 400,000 people living about 1.5 metres above sea level who have to worry that their country may soon be swallowed up by climate change. Here in Asean we are behind Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, whom we used to dominate, and now only one spot above basketball-playing Philippines.

The captain of our illustrious 1970's side was Soh Chin Aun, R Arumugam, Isa Bakar, Santokh Singh, James Wong and Mokhtar Dahari. They were heroes whose names rolled off the tongues of our schoolchildren as they copied them on the school field. It wasn't about being the best in the world, but about being passionate and united and devoted to the game.

It was the same in badminton, except at one time we were the best in the world. I remember Wong Peng Soon, the first Asian to win the All-England Championship, and then just dominated it throughout the 1950. Back home every kid who played badminton in every little kampung wanted to call himself Wong Peng Soon.

There was no tinge of anybody identifying themselves exclusively as Chinese, Malays or Indian. Peng Soon was a Malayan hero. Just like each of our football heroes. Now we do not have an iota of that feeling. Where has it all gone?

Capital flight troubling

I don't think it's mere nostalgia that makes us think there was a time when the sun shone more brightly upon Malaysia. I bring up sport because it has been a mirror of our more general performance as a nation.

When we were at ease with who we were and didn't need slogans to do our best together, we did well. When race and money entered our game, we declined. The same applies to our political and economic life.

Soon after independence, we were already a highly successful developing country. We had begun the infrastructure building and diversification of our economy that would be the foundation for further growth. We carried out an import-substitution programme that stimulated local productive capacity.

From there, we started an infrastructure build-up that enabled a diversification of the economy leading to rapid industrialisation. We carried out effective programmes to raise rural income and help the landless with programmes such as Felda.

Our achievements in achieving growth with equity were recognised around the world. Our peer group in economic development were South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan, and we led the pack. I remember we used to send technical consultants to advise the South Koreans.

By the late 90s, however, we had fallen far behind this group and were competing with Thailand and Indonesia. Today, according to the latest World Investment Report, FDI into Malaysia is at a 20-year low.

We are entering the peer group of Cambodia, Burma and the Philippines as an investment destination. Thailand, despite a month-long siege of the capital, attracted more FDI than we did last year. Indonesia and Vietnam far outperform us, not as a statistical blip but consistently. Soon we shall have difficulty keeping up with the Philippines.

This, I believe, is called relegation. If we take into account FDI outflow, the picture is even more depressing. Last year, we received US$1.38 billion in investments but US$8.04 billion flowed out. We are the only country in Southeast Asia that has suffered net FDI outflow.

I am not against outward investment. It can be a good thing for the country. But an imbalance on this scale indicates capital flight, not mere investment overseas.

Time to wake up

Without a doubt, Malaysia is slipping. Billions have been looted from this country, and Billions more are being siphoned out as our entire political structure crumbles. Yet we are gathered here in comfort, in a country that still seems to 'work' - most of the time. This is due less to good management than to the extraordinary wealth of this country.

You were born into a country of immense resources, both natural, cultural and social. We have been wearing down this advantage with mismanagement and corruption. With lies, tall tales and theft. We have a political class unwilling or unable to address the central issue of the day because they have grown fat and comfortable with a system built on lies and theft.

It is time to wake up. That waking up can begin here, right here, at this conference. Not tomorrow or the day after but today. So let me, as I have the honour of opening this conference, suggest the following:

1) Overcome the urge to have our hopes for the future endorsed by the prime minister. He will have retired, and I'll be long gone, when your future arrives. The shape of your future is being determined now.

2) Resist the temptation to say “in line with” when we do something. Your projects, believe it or not, don't have to be in line with any government campaign for them to be meaningful. You don't need to polish anyone's apple. Just get on with what you plan to do.

3) Do not put a lid on certain issues as “sensitive” just because someone said they are. Or it is against the Social Contract. Or it is “politicisation”.

You don't need to have your conversation delimited by the hyper-sensitive among us. Sensitivity is often a club people use to hit each other with. Reasoned discussion of contentious issues builds understanding and trust. Stress test your ideas.

4) It's not “conservative” or “liberal” to ask for an end to having politics, economic policy, education policy and everything and the kitchen sink determined by race. It's called growing up.

5) Don't let the politicians you have invited here talk down to you.

Don't let them

Don't let them tell you how bright and “exuberant” you are, that you are the future of the nation, etc. If you close your eyes and flow with their flattery, you have safely joined the caravan, a caravan taking the nation down a sink hole.

If they tell you the future is in your hands, kindly request that they hand that future over first. Ask them how come the youngest member of our cabinet is 45? Our Merdeka cabinet had an average age below 30.

You're not the first generation to be bright. Mine wasn't too stupid. But you could be the first generation of students and young graduates in 50 years to push this nation through a major transformation. And it is a transformation we need desperately.

You will be told that much is expected of you, much has been given to you and so forth. This is all true. Actually much has also been stolen from you. Over the last 20 five years, much of the immense wealth generated by our productive people and our vast resources has been looted. This was supposed to have been your patrimony.

The uncomplicated sense of belonging fully, wholeheartedly, unreservedly, to this country, in all its diversity, that has been taken from you. Our sense of ourselves as Malaysians, a free and united people, has been replaced by a tale of racial strife and resentment that continues to haunt us. The thing is, this tale is false.

Reclaim your history

The most precious thing you have been deprived of has been your history. Someone of my generation finds it hard to describe what must seem like a completely different country to you now.

Malaysia was not born in strife but in unity. Our independence was achieved through a demonstration of unity by the people in supporting a multiracial government led by Tunku Abdul Rahman.

That show of unity, demonstrated first through the municipal elections of 1952 and then through the Alliance's landslide victory in the elections of 1955, showed that the people of Malaya were united in wanting their freedom. We surprised the British, who thought we could not do this.

Today we are no longer as united as we were then. We are also less free. I don't think this is a coincidence. It takes free people to have the psychological strength to overcome the confines of a racialised worldview. It takes free people to overcome those politicians bent on hanging on to power gained by racialising every feature of our life including our football teams.

Hence while you are at this conference, let me argue, that as an absolute minimum, we should call for the repeal of unjust and much abused Acts of Parliament which are reversals of freedoms that we won at Merdeka.

I ask you in joining me in calling for the repeal of the ISA (Internal Security Act) and the OSA (Official Secrets Act). These draconian laws have been used, more often than not, as political tools rather than instruments of national security. They create a climate of fear.

I ask you to join me in calling for the repeal of the Printing and Publications Act, and above all, the Universities and University Colleges Act (UUCA). I don't see how you can pursue your student activism with such freedom and support in the UK and Eire while forgetting that your brethren at home are deprived of their basic rights of association and expression by the UUCA. The UUCA has done immense harm in dumbing down our universities.

We must have freedom as guaranteed under our constitution. Freedom to assemble, associate, speak, write, move. This is basic. Even on matters of race and even on religious matters we should be able to speak freely, and we shall educate each other.

Make BN multiracial

It is time to realise the dream of Hussein Onn and the spirit of the Alliance and of Tunku Abdul Rahman. That dream was one of unity and a single Malaysian people. They went as far as they could with it in their time. Instead of taking on the torch, we have reversed course. The next step for us as a country is to move beyond the infancy of race-based parties to a non-racial party system.

Our race-based party system is the key political reason why we are a sick country, declining before our own eyes, with money fleeing and people telling their children not to come home after their studies.

So let us try to take 1Malaysia seriously. Millions have been spent putting up billboards and adding the term to every conceivable thing. We even have 'Cuti-cuti 1Malaysia'. Can't take a normal holiday anymore. This is all fine.

Now let us see if it means anything. Let us see the government of the day lead by example. 1Malaysia is empty because it is propagated by a government supported by a racially-based party system that is the chief cause of our inability to grow up in our race relations.

Our inability to grow up in our race relations is the chief reason why investors, and we ourselves, no longer have confidence in our economy. The reasons why we are behind Maldives in football, and behind the Philippines in FDI, are linked.

So let us take 1Malaysia seriously, and convert Barisan Nasional into a party open to all citizens. Let it be a multiracial party open to direct membership. Pakatan Rakyat will be forced to do the same or be left behind the times. Then we shall have the vehicles for a two party, non-race-based system.

If Umno, MIC or MCA are afraid of losing supporters, let them get their members to join this new multiracial party. Pakatan Rakyat should do the same. Nobody need feel left out. Umno members can join en masse. The Hainanese Kopitiam Owners' Association can join whichever party they want, or both parties en masse if they like.

We can maintain our cherished civil associations, however we choose to associate. But we drop all communalism when we compete for the ballot. When our candidates stand for elections, let them ever after stand only as Malaysians, for better or worse.

This article bring tears and nostalgia. I remembered my school days. Race was a second issue.
I studied in a convent school. My school mates mingle so well.
Now I heard that a narrow minded malay principle, probably BTN brain washed tried to remove the cross
from the school crescent but couldn't do it properly.
That school was convent pulau tikus, penang.
Now we have stupid narrow minded people employed as principles in most schools with vague credentials.

In countries where citizens are not so racists and stupid, a suspected murderes will never make it to be the party leader of a ruling coalition. Further the citizens will never be taken in by rhetoric that the problems of the country is due to another race. They will never believe that you can legislate wealth. One race is stupid bec they believe in nonsence another race is coward for not putting it right. Citizens need to stand up and stop believing rubbish and let the politicians know. Don't always blame politicians

Dear Red1, I am sure you're Malaysian. Perhaps, like all others commentators, you too want to be a good Malaysian. But you must be born after 1970 to say what you've said. I doubt you have been a Malayan from the 1950s or 60s era. You do not understand what you have said because you probably never had that opportunity to share and feel what Malayans felt. However, your statement holds true and is reflective of circumstances since 1970.

TRH is correct in his recollection of the past. Malaysians were one big family when they were Malayans. Malayans then were thoroughly at ease with one another. When school children fought, they fought not because they were from a different race and religion but because they were just school children.

The nation's fate started to decline when the 'Malay Dilemma', written by an Indian, was 'successfully' introduced to the country. With strong messages in the 'Dilemma', this Indian tricked everybody, including his predecessors, into accepting him as a Malay and eventually wefnt on to become a 'Malay PM'. He then proceeded to divided the nation kau kau by race and religion. He forced-fed the people with his divisive policies for more than 2 decades. With the benefit of hindsight, one can say it was very unfortunate for Malaysia to have this man messed-up the nation's unity single-handedly!

All told, TRH have now given an excellent advice in the above speech. Younger Malaysians should heed this invaluable advice and create more opportunities for Malaysia to be transformed into a better country for all. Yes, think and lead, you need not have to follow all the time!

THE GREATEST MISTAKE YOU STOOPID MALAYS DID WAS to accept an Indian(the mother of Mamaks) as a Malay.. You should not have allowed the constitution to be so broad that even a guy who has no dick to circumcise and who jumps in to practice Izzlam and to wear the baju Melayu...is automatically brought in to bed with your women as a Marlay. and a Muzzlim. Today we have Mamaks who have taken over the Malays and rule as Malays...soon we will have Indon ministers, banglas, pakistanis, mynmars, and others.... All of them according to the constituiton will sometime claim bumiputera status...and then you are fcked again. Rather you should have losened the Malays to intermarry without the Izzlam dog muzzle...we would have achieved one Malaysia...years ago.The real history KU LI you and I know is Indians and Chinese were here first.....

The message from Ku Li is very clear.

The younger generations must fight for our second Merdeka against corruptions and abuses of power by certain few elites and "beneficiaries" holding the citizens to ransom with the degenerative laws like ISA, OSA, Printing laws, etc,etc. These laws are the shelters for them to loot the country and divide the nation so that they may rule for as long as the people are stupid enough not to recognise that they are being hoodwinked.

They use Ketuanan Melayu and "loss of Malays political power" catch-cries to put fear into the Malays and then, they display their kerises and unleashed the nation's security forces to frighten the non-Malays into submission thereby enabling them to prevent the Malays and non-Malays to unite against their corruptive and abusive conduct thereby, prolonging their stay in power.

Their modus operandi has always been the same - they play the good cop and bad cop and then pat themselves on their back for being able to fool the rakyats and maintain their power for another season.

Fight for the abolishing of the devious laws that is being blatantly abused for private purposes. Get rid of the ISA, OSA, Printing laws and a whole host of "illegal" laws.

Fight for a better Malaysia. Fight alongside Ku Li for he alone will not succeed in saving Malaysia.

A very refreshing advice to student leaders from our beloved Ku Li especially the line that he said, "You don't have to polish anyone's apple"

But the trouble is that students and the rakyat have for decades been influenced and encouraged to seek political patronage through endorsements and support letters from politicians in everything affecting their lives, thereby transforming them into "Little Napoleons".

To all this I can only sign can say "HOW STUPID THE MALAYS ARE" because the UMNO government instilled religion (I mean ISLAM) and took religion to their heads forcing them to wear the tudung, forcing them to pray 5 times a day by putting suraus in all corners of the building, forcing them to disrespect the other races, forcing them NOT to eat in other races houses or even have a drink as it was NOT HALAL.
The UMNO government went further to group the MALAYS together and instill that they MUST not mix with the other races, they must not follow the dressings of the west - they MUST cover up to be more Islamic which mean being the government . WHAT did all of this do ?
Yes the Malays being so stupid followed religiously not realising that those who forced this was doing the opposite. They were parting with acholic, the best prostitutes, the best "western" clothes, the best wine and all the MONEY.

So why now sit down and cry when you damn stupid MALAYS never used your brain ( well I know you dont have good one's)
To you MALAYS - religion was sooooooo important. Well it is but be realistic. by covering up and being deligently involved in UNMO islam you let the rat out.

It SHORT dont you feel cheated and at the same time STUPID

Members/Readers,
How many of you have received a notice from our gomen (Lembaga Hasil) that you have 'underpaid' your tax for certain past years? If not yourself, ask around your family members or friends, surely you'll find several of them become the victim of this dirty gomen tactic. Recently suddenly they tell me that I owe them RM3,00++ and directed my employer to deduct my salary for 6 months. Then just after paying (forcefully) the RM3k, they send another letter, demanding almost RM1,000!!!. This is their last resort to get RM for their pocket..after billions lost to their own sharks, collect money from the rakyat!! Imagine if averagely RM500 robbed from each of 100,000 working M'sians. They would easily rob us RM50M. And yet they say they are not bankrupt!! Ptuii!!
There is only one thing to do now..CHANGE THE GOMEN!!. Otherwise we're doomed. Soon we'll join countries like Ethiophia,...living on the mercy of other countries... SAVE MALAYSIA!!

I felt like crying when I read this. When I was young, I felt like Tengku, that we are now heading to be truly 1 Malaysia. How Mamathir hijacked it along the way brought us to this juncture where we are so divided; we are in the depths of morass; we are hopelessly backward in a world which has gone far ahead of us.

I was recently in a seminar hosted by a Malaysian institution. Many papers were presented by Malaysian officers. Their English was painful to hear. 20 years ago, the Indonesains and Thais wouold not dare speak in English. Today they speak better English than our officers. I was ashamed of my country!

During the 80s and 90s, Malaysia showed such great potential to join the elite club of developed nations. We were a power house not only in business regionally in Asia but also in sports too, until Mahalanun came along. He singlehandedly dismantled every aspect of Malaysian life as we knew it then and turned the nation upside down into what she is today. Raped, plundered, disjointed, racially and religiously divided and the saddest part of it all is that all these crimes and negative culture are being peddled and sold to the blur rural folks by the lanuns in BeEnd to safeguard themselves and continue the plundering at a faster rate now with GE13 drawing nearer. Will there be anything left when PR takes over?

It reminisced life back in those days, where all the races mix together and celebrated each other's festivals harmoniously. Sadly nowadays, all the races are segregated within their own communities.

Those in powers only make it worst with all their propagandas. The days will come very soon if Perkosa could provide foods with their Ketuanancy.

"We have a political class unwilling or unable to address the central issue of the day because they have grown fat and comfortable with a system built on lies and theft" - therein lies the cause and reason for our contry's slide in the economic arena!!
'We were once 'Malaysians'-yes, Ku LI, a very apt description of the state of race relations now!!
And why?
Let's call a spade a spade!!
The UMNOputras divide and rule policy, the ketuanan Melayu agenda and the discrimination against the other races.
