Mighty Abdullah’s son in law Khairy has been chosen to new UMNO Youth Chief. How does this help Malaysians and the fight against money politics?

Umno goes ahead with money politics and dividing Malaysia in Malays and others

In our previous post: Malaysian leading party admits money politics we already mentioned Khairy being involved in money politics but could still contest the UMNO youth post.

Unlike Malacca Chief Minister who bought votes but was bared from contesting for the post of Najib’s DPM.

So money politics is allowed, it just depends where you stand in the party or which family member is in power.

Malays and non Malays: what about all Malaysians?

We have seen Khairy waving his dagger in parliament fighting for the rights of the Malays and the Malays only.

What about the history of Malaysia? What about Peranakan ?

(see Majestic Hotel Melaka)

 

Peranakan are the descendants of the very early immigrants to the British Straits Settlements of Malaya and the Dutch-controlled island of Java, who have partially adopted Malay customs in an effort to be assimilated into the local communities.

Assimilation is what lies at the base of what’s now Malaysia. And that’s how we expats are bombarded with Malaysian Tourism Ads on TV at home: Malaysia: where all races live in peace and harmony.

So why is UMNO youth putting Khairy in power who’s dagger obviously doesn’t point to peace and harmony amongst the races?

Are we expats in danger of living in a country that’s getting less and less tolerant, knowing that we are much more "unassimilated immigrants" as the other races who have were born Malaysian?

We are alarmed of the say one thing and do another. That’s our fear when we see just before the change of power to Najib our MM2H visa holders from 5 years are now allowed to extend it to 10 years. Is this for real or will it change as soon as Najib takes over?

Anyway, no need to run ahead of history: the cards will be reshuffled when Najib takes over, and then we will know.
