Would you still argue that I must toe the party line and support the ‘Malay unity’ talks or would you expect me to do the right thing by not supporting my party's stand since I believe that 'Malay unity' is not good for the future of the country when almost 50% of Malaysia's citizens are non-Malays?

Two of these Umno Bloggers, Aspan Alias and Mohd Ariff Sabri Aziz, have now joined DAP. So you no longer call them ‘dogs’ and pigs’. You call them ‘towering Malays’ and ‘patriot Malaysians’. If they one day leave DAP to rejoin Umno, you will again call them ‘dogs’ and ‘pigs’ and no longer refer to them as ‘towering Malays’ or ‘patriot Malaysians’.

We must not forget that the fence sitters are capable of doing this. In 1999, they swung to the opposition and Barisan Nasional was given a beating. Even Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad thought that if he stayed on as the Prime Minister then, in 2004, Barisan Nasional might even be kicked out of office. So he resigned and handed the government to his Deputy. And in 2004, Barisan Nasional made a comeback and gave the opposition a beating of its life.

Do we Muslims have no shame? We do not know how to treat people the same way we demand that people treat us. We do not know how to respect the rights of others the way we demand that people respect our rights. And when Muslims offer Ambiga a beef burger, the rest of the Muslims keep quiet. They are not in the least outraged. Try offering Ibrahim Ali a hamburger and see what will happen. We will see May 13 Version 2 erupt in Malaysia.

I find that the Christians are the most hypocritical people on earth. Not that the Muslims are any better, mind you. But at least the Muslims say 'hate the sinner' and not 'love the sinner' like the Christians.

Your view does not make what you say become the truth. Truth is subjective. That these organisations exist is true. That they fight for a cause is true. Whether the cause is right is not the truth. And whether the cause is wrong is also not the truth. The truth and falsity depends on your beliefs. Beliefs would be what you perceive things to be. And what you have to say about what you believe are merely your opinions.

Today, I received a letter from my party leader, Nick Clegg. Since Umno will be celebrating its anniversary tonight where Najib Tun Razak will probably be delivering his ‘policy’ speech, I thought the Umno members would like to compare how the two party leaders talk. While you in Malaysia are talking merely about electoral reforms, we in the UK are talking about constitutional and political reforms.

It is not enough that you believe in God, Prophet Muhammad, the Quran, etc. It is not enough that you fulfil your five times a day prayers, fast during the month of Ramadhan, go to Mekah, etc. It is not enough that you do not eat pork, gamble, drink liquor, etc. There are other things you need to do to be a complete Muslim. And that would be to also live the life of a Muslim.

Have a look at the video below. That is a specially edited video, which is being distributed through the Umno network. Maybe not every Malaysian, in particular Malays in the rural areas, uses the Internet. But they do have TV sets and DVD/VCD players. And if DNBN can distribute 200,000 anti-government DVDs to those in the rural areas who do not have Internet access, do you mean to say that Umno cannot also produce 1 million copies of the video below and do the same thing?

I started this piece by laying out your track record to remind all of us that you have contributed immensely to the nation. However, that one slip, if I may be permitted to call it that, is going to tarnish everything that you have done. Malaysians will never remember the 1,000 good things that you did. They will only remember the one thing that you did, which they do not agree with.
