Special Rights of Malays
We incessantly hear of this “Special Rights” echo throughout Malaysia by UMNO propogators. Just who are the “Malays” that Article 153 is talking about then?
By John Doe
“The group’s president, Ahmad Mahayuddin Abdul Manaf added that non-Malays have no right to dispute the Special Rights of the Malays”
Firstly, that sentence or statement is not in the Constitution. Secondly, you have individuals like Tun RPK asking the same questions. He is not just any old kampong Malay, Tun RPK also has Royal Blood, which is a lot more than what I can say about Ahmad Mahayuddin. Next, the question was not about the “Rights of Malays”, but a question of “Ketuanan Melayu”. Huge difference. Praise your BTN-Tutors for NOT teaching you “Comprehension” or “Understanding”.
We incessantly hear of this “Special Rights” echo throughout Malaysia by UMNO propogators. Just who are the “Malays” that Article 153 is talking about then? I don’t know how many people actually noticed that Article 153, falls in the “Part 7 General and Miscellaneous” Section. It’s what people call the “dan lain-lain” section. Loosely translated, it means, “Oh, by-the-way…” Section.
The Cow-Head-Steppers probably did not also read an earlier Section of the same constitution, under Article 149 (1)
(a) to cause, or to cause a substantial number of citizens to fear …
(UMNO tries to negate this by saying that the Indians are not substantial, thus, insignificant)
and perhaps
(c) to promote feelings of ill-will and hostility between different races or other classes of
the population …
(UMNO also tries to negate this by saying that everyone else feels good about this ….)
So, despite the fact that they were just recently charged in Violation of Article 149 of the same Constitution which is allegedly caused by another Section of the same said Constitution is indeed bizarre. Let us look at Article 153 again, and read what they were screaming and ranting about:
(1) It shall be the Responsibility of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to safeguard the special position of the Malays and natives of any of the States of Sabah and Sarawak and the legitimate interests of other communities in accordance with the provisions of this Article.
Obviously, these clowns think that they are better than the Agong himself. It’s either that, or they believe that the Agong has been useless in his execution of His Duties, or was terribly irresponsible in the way the Agong has carried (or not carried) out His duties as an Agong. Either way, it is very insulting to the Agong.
Next, “… He added that the Malays themselves have never disputed the rights of the non-Malays in Malaysia ….”
Oh, that’s easy for him to say because the “Non’s” practically have none, at least the way UMNO sees it. Malaysia is the only country in the World to have Majority Rights. And the “Dick-Waving” attitude of “I will bathe the Keris in Chinese Blood” either meant that he was going to have an Orgasmic-Chinese-Blood-Bathing-Session at the KL General-Hospital Blood Donation Centre using exclusively only Chinese-Blood Donor-Packets, or this individual is also in serious violation of Article 149 as I have mentioned above.
Coming back to Article 153 again, the question of “Who is a Malay” is rather ambigiously defined in Article 160
(2) “Malay” means a person who professes the religion of Islam, habitually speaks the Malay
language, conforms to Malay custom AND –
■ (a) was before Merdeka Day born in the Federation or in Singapore or born of parents one of whom was born in the Federation or in Singapore, or is on that day domiciled in the Federation or in Singapore;
Read in tandem. It says absolutely nothing about an individual whose parents come from Indonesia. So, realistically speaking, a person whose parents were both born in Indonesia, cannot be a “Malay”. Article 160 or 153 in the Constitution also does not make any mention of the word “Bumiputra” as this was a newly created term. Thus, Malaysians should never confuse the two terminologies. UMNO should also now start to prepare a list of all those who do not qualify as a Malay anymore, just because of the word “AND” which is listed in Article 160 (2). I guess that UMNO “qualified” the “new Malays” by saying that Malaysia celebrates “Merdeka Day” every year, and not just in 1957, thus negating this (un?)important detail. Missed this year’s Merdeka, then apply for next year’s. No problem.
By the above Article 160(2) “Malay” definition, it also means that people such as Lina Joy are also no longer Malays. The Constitution does not say that once one joins the Malay Race, you cannot un-join the race. If we go by the definition above, simply speaking, any other language other than Malay also nullifies one’s Race. So is dressing in any garb other than baju Melayu. So, from Monday till Thursday, wearing the “Evil-Western Long-Sleeve Work-Shirt and Tie” and not wearing the Baju Melayu makes one no longer a Malay, but only on Friday, when one is dressed to go to the Mosque, then you become a Malay. Also, at night, when all the “pakciks” change into their Pagoda T-shirts (made in China), and put on their sarongs, they also cease to be a Malay. “Pagoda-the-Baju Cina” after all, isn’t of Malay origin and thus cannot be classified as “Baju Melayu”. Isn’t this Bizzare? And the putting on of any Arabic Clothes, (not of Malay origins), also nullifies the Malay-Race qualifications. Same applies to Tan Sri Nik Aziz and the entire Pas Group, as well as all Mosque Officials, because they are constantly and consistently dressed in “Baju Arab”. Mat Rempits with their fake leather jackets also do not qualify as Malays. Neither are all of those jobless-bums wearing filthy-lice-ridden denim-rags who hang out at Pertama Kompleks.
I’ll bet no one ever knew that “fashion” alone can cause one’s changing of race.
Truly Malaysia Boleh.
