    Commentary: Why Only Protest Against An EP Reserved For Malays? It Involves Only One Job Opportunity..

    SENSITIVE! BUT I AM SAYING IT AS A MATTER OF FACT:
    Some people are organising a protest against Reserved Presidential Election tomorrow @Hong Lim Park. They claim it is for fairness & an open system. This year’s EP was RESERVED FOR THE MALAYS.
    They can do as they wished. I only wish to ask the organiser/s & supporters:
    (i) Did you protest when the Government build SAP schools RESERVED FOR THE CHINESE?
    (ii) Did you protest when Malay-Muslims were not recruited to serve the military [NS or full-time]? Thus well-paying jobs in our armed services were RESERVED FOR NON-MALAYS / NON-MUSLIMS.
    Why you only protest against an EP RESERVED FOR THE MALAYS? It involves only ONE JOB OPPORTUNITY & ONCE AFTER 47 YEARS!
    And you do it for fairness & an open system? Come on! Let’s not lose our ability to give & take in some cases. I thought we are used to it. All for the sake of national unity.

    Damanhuri Abas: Pemimpin-Pemimpin Melayu PAP Diam Sepi Membisu, Membolehkan Pemerintah Terus Menerus Lakukan Diskriminasi

    Siakap senohong gelama ikan duri.
    Bercakap bohong lama-lama mencuri.

    Peribahasa yg penuh hikmah diketepikan bangsa sendiri demi menegakkan benang yg basah.

    1. Jangan sekali-sekali menipu kerana ia akan menjadi tabiat buruk yg membinasakan.

    2. Pemimpin Melayu PAP dulu sekarang dan selama-lamanya kini kelihatan berani menggunakan kononnya pegangan mereka kepada keadilan dan anti-perkauman dalam menyoalkan rakyat yg ingin menggunakan hak mereka bersuara dan menentang penipuan. Rakyat marah terhadap cara. Agama kita murni dan mendidik niat tidak boleh menghalalkan cara. Kenapa kita rela menggadaikan nilai kita hanya demi kepentingan puak kita. Kerana pulut santan binasa, sebab mulut badan binasa.

    3. Di mana pula pemimpin-pemimpin ini, apabila pemerintahlah yg sebenarnya bertanggungjawab terhadap semua perkara yg mereka menuduh pihak lain lakukan. Kenapa mereka diam sepi membisu sahaja selama 52 tahun. Padahal pada waktu itu sesiapa yg bersuara menentang perkauman dituduh anasir oleh mereka sendiri yang kononnya akan menjejas keharmonian kaum.

    4. Mereka jugalah pemimpin Melayu yg telah membolehkan pemerintah terus menerus lakukan diskriminasi sewenangnya terhadap anak-anak muda melayu kita dalam perkhidmatan negara dengan segala alasan kepentingan dan maslahat lebih besar yang masih terus berlaku. Kenapa kesetian bangsa kita dipersoalkan tidak mereka tentang dan berani membela. Malahan merekalah yg paling di hadapan mencari alasan untuk Tuan mereka walaupun mereka bersikap dan bersifat perkauman.

    4. Sungguh Allah Maha Mengetahui, dolak dalik serta percobaan untuk mengelirukan rakyat akan menempelak ke muka mereka sendiri akhirnya.

    Budaya bangsa memberi peringatan agar jangan mudah terpedaya dengan kata-kata dan slogan manis. Lihat pada sejarah untuk mengenal musuh kesatuan kaum melalui tindakan dan apa yang mereka telah dan masih lakukan. Memang benar peribahasa melayu, indah kabar dari rupa.

    Alfian Sa’at: “If There Is A Committee To Certify The ‘Chineseness’ Of Candidates, What Kinds Of Criteria Should We Expect?”

    I have so many questions.
    Is a biologically Chinese person adopted into an Indian family still Chinese?
    But what do we mean by ‘biologically’?
    You can adopt a child of a different race in Singapore.
    But can the child ‘adopt’ whatever race it wants to?
    Are Chindians considered Chinese?
    Is a Chindian with a Chinese father considered more Chinese than one with a Chinese mother?
    Because patrilineal descent?
    If a Chindian is raised only by an Indian mother in the absence of a father can this person remove ‘Chinese’ from the IC and replace it with ‘Indian’?
    If a Chindian is raised by a Filipino domestic worker in the absence of both parents who are working overseas, what is this person’s race?

    If there is a committee to certify the ‘Chineseness’ of candidates, what kinds of criteria should we expect?
    Should this person be able to speak Mandarin?
    Should ‘bananas’ be disqualified?
    Is ‘banana’ a slur?
    How about OCBC–‘Orang Cina Bukan Cina’?
    Can something be a slur when used against an Anglophone elite who wield immense political and economic power in Singapore?
    How about Peranakans?
    Which makes them more Chinese: if they introduce themselves as ‘Peranakan Chinese’ or as ‘Chinese Peranakans’?

    And what if the candidate is a Chinese Muslim?
    Who was featured as one of the top Malay PSLE students in Berita Harian, because of a ‘Muslim-sounding’ name.
    And received a MENDAKI scholarship.
    But then attended a SAP school.
    And decided to change his name by deed poll to something more ‘Chinese-sounding’.
    And was then featured in Lianhe Zaobao as one of the top Chinese ‘O’ Level students.
    But still made CPF contributions to the Mosque Building and Mendaki Fund.
    Then married a Chinese Christian woman under civil marriage.
    And then had kids, one of whom wanted to be Muslim, another Christian, and another a Jedi warrior.
    If this person presents himself in front of an esteemed panel of people who are to certify his Chineseness, what will happen?
    I hope at the very least their heads explode.

    I think some of the questions above are ridiculous.
    I think ultimately there is something absurd about the idea of race–or specifically the idea of racial categorisation.
    And honestly I’m quite tired of all the ink spilled on trying to define Mdm Halimah’s race.
    Because the slipperiness and porosity and contradictions of ‘race’ are not specific to Malays or Indians.
    To be exempt from having your racial identity undergo such obsessive vivisection under the public glare is surely one of the manifestations of majority privilege.
    And to be honest the feeling is horrible, as if there is an ‘authentic performance’ of one’s race, or even worse, that one can be viewed as an exemplary or illustrative specimen of one’s racial species.
