Hello all ‘pendatang’! Remember ‘Dengan kuat kuasa undang undang’?
So, the Umno Malays are now given a dose of their own medicine and they are furious. If you feel hurt by Tan’s statement, then why do you want to continue to utter the same?
Ng Kee Seng, The Ant Daily
Gerakan is absolutely right in suspending its Johor delegate Tan Lai Soon for three years for saying Malays were immigrants.
That was also what Umno did when it suspended then Bukit Bendera Umno chief Datuk Ahmad Ismail in 2008 for three years for describing Malaysian citizens of Chinese descent as “pendatang” (immigrants).
Whether the remarks uttered by Tan are true or based on facts is immaterial.
Just because the Malays are calling non-Malay Malaysians pendatang does not give others the right to utter the same.
It’s the same analogy as: If one eats shit, it does not mean we also do the same.
So, the Umno Malays are now given a dose of their own medicine and they are furious. If you feel hurt by Tan’s statement, then why do you want to continue to utter the same?
In fact, no Malaysian have any business calling another Malaysian pendatang.
All born in Malaysia are Malaysians. Not pendatang.
To racial, religious and Umno bigots, have you not heard of this when Malaysians once needed to fill government forms under the nationality column: “Dengan kuat kuasa undang undang”.
