The Ant Daily has hit the nail on the head

First of all it is all about education and that is why Lee Kuan Yew arrested and detained those fighting for Chinese and Tamil schools and why he insisted on English.

The Ant Daily has published a few of its readers’ comments about how stupid Malaysians are and why that is so and I thought I would share what they said with you. You can read these comments below.

I think many of the The Ant Daily’s readers are quite correct in their assumption. First of all it is all about education and that is why Lee Kuan Yew arrested and detained those fighting for Chinese and Tamil schools and why he insisted on English.

And that made Singapore greater than Malaysia once Chinese and Tamil education were downgraded in favour of English. Malaysia, unfortunately, went the opposite of Singapore and it was made worse when the English medium was changed to Malay medium.

And if you have noticed most of the stupid comments are made by those Malays, Chinese and Indians who do not speak English well.

The other reason why people are stupid, said The Ant Daily’s readers, is due to religion. This is also true. It started with Hinduism and then Buddhism, etc., followed by the Abrahamic faiths such as Judaism and Christianity later on, the last, of course, being Islam.

And then everyone became stupid.

Anyway, read what The Ant Daily’s readers have to say below.

Simple strategy – keep people ignorant and stay on in power!

The Ant Daily

Shyan Jenq: What has history taught us? It has taught us that in order to hold on to power, the easiest way is to keep the masses ignorant. The less they know the lesser they question. So it is an age-old working strategy!

Chin Seng Chuah: When race and religion are used as a political tool it breeds stupidity.

Sarbjit Gill: This has been happening since 1957.

SB Tan: It has happened throughout history! Chinese emperors burnt books, Taliban confiscated books and reading materials, the Nazi did the same too!

All these acts were carried out to ensure the top people stayed in power.

Janine Ng Wan Yi: Some people cannot be smarter so they need to make the people stupider!

Michael Yong: No one can instill stupidity in us. It’s just that people are born stupid and for your information stupidity has no medical cure! And what do you call people who keep on voting for the same government election after election?

William Wong Choon Wah: Absolutely! That’s the plan by BN all this while, isn’t it?

Connie Tan: That’s what some people want – to keep the people stupid so they can do what they wish.

Fara Salman: Look at the shows on TV, all fodder and trash. They promote stupidity and reward those who make a fool of themselves.

Patrick Lee: Couldn’t agree with you more!

Lim Paul: Just look at the school syllabus…especially History. Now if you ask the younger generation who Julius Caesar or Alexander the Great were, they will give you a blank look. The education system makes us stupid.

CM Yap: “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent,” Eleanor Roosevelt once said. By applying that principle, does it mean that ‘stupidity’ (in this context) isn’t ‘forced’ but ‘consensual’?

Anna Wah: When you are instilled with an ‘ignorance’ virus, you are unwarily lead into a ‘forced’ direction which would seemingly seem you are in a ‘consensual’ mode.

This is the appropriate timing for ‘stupidity’ (in this context) as it’s applicable when the virus ‘ignorance’ is being cured (awakening from ignorance).

SC Shekar: It’s the same when you only allow one religious doctrine to survive as opposed to allowing all religious books to be read and understood by all. That’s just another way to keep the masses ignorant.

Icarus Skyfall: The people who keep on voting for the same people or system are ignorant.

Wong Kee Fui: The unwritten code of good citizen mentalities base on the Government.

I talk you listen…listen listen. Listen. Listen n listen. Jgn Tanya soalan…jgn debate.

Government makes no mistakes. Is nonsense.

Charlie Abbey: But of course; the game plan is to prevent people from coming into power.

Chee Seong Lai: No force need applied here. The politicians themselves are ignorant, hence the followers – birds of the same feather.

Ricky Kho: Definitely! Just look at the lineup of candidates during elections!

Mike Samaravera: I think that’s what they have been doing all these years. But rich corporate guys will support because their income depends on these people. Plus villagers and the poor will also support them over some monetary gains they will get. Also the Malay community has been tremendously brainwashed about non-Malays taking over the country.

The time will come. In fact it has begun. Their kids have left the villagers and see the real Malaysia.

So sooner or later the downfall will happen. It is unavoidable. They ruling party will keep trying new ways but will soon loose its shine.

Bharathan Thevarajah: Wrong. People keep themselves stupid to serve politicians.
