New Communists in Malaysia

In today’s context what so bad about communism in China compare with democracy practice in Zimbabwe or Somalia or Malaysia?

Of lately I felt bit disturbed by the remarks made by our national leaders. They happened to be the senior Ministers who I thought have more foresight to lead this country into a more open society. 

Datuk Rais Yatim, the Information Minister and Datuk Zahid Hamidi our Defence Minister, both gave the impression that people who support opposition political parties in particular DAP, are supporting and reviving communism. 

Their remarks were made in connection with the issue of Chin Peng. 

According to media report Chin Ping the former Malayan Communist Party leader applied to come back to a country now called Malaysia. 

An elaboration of Chin Peng’s citizenship has been in the media recently as defined by our Malaysian historian

I can also say, the remark is targeted to Chinese community. And if this has no element of racism then someone has to correct me. 

It also shows that we are now becoming too concerned about race and ethnic difference, a device I would say to disintegrate multiracial society that the nation has built over the past fifty years. 

The BN leaders instead of defending their records of how well they have performed and how else to improvise our country’s race relation are now accusing supporters of opposition political parties blindly or is this also to include those who are disinterested in the subject. 

Wonder what do they expect to people to react?
