  • Attention: Malay Population In Singapore At Its Peak Due To All Muslims Considered A Malay

    Attention: Malay Population In Singapore At Its Peak Due To All Muslims Considered A Malay

    It’s getting more and more confusing now. Or is it not?

    If “people” are saying that religion determines the race then this a development in a way. Let’s do some mathematical analysis.

    The given arguments are:

    A Malay is not a Malay only if he/she is a Christian. (lose)

    An Indian is a Malay if he/she is a Muslim. (add)

    So going by the same argument,

    If a Chinese or a Caucasian(others) are Muslims, he/she is a Malay. (add)

    Well then let’s revise the national population ratio. Overall there should be more Malays now because technically all Muslims are considered as Malays. And there should be a reduction of in the population of Indians and Chinese now that their Muslims brethren are classified as Malays. So hurray! Our Malay population has grown! #makemalaygreatagain

    (What about Indians or Chinese who are Christians? Because generally Indians are Hindus and Chinese are Taoists or Buddhists. Jeng jeng jeng….)

  • Confirmed That Malay Race Is Essentially Muslim, All Indian Muslims Are Malays But Christian Malays Are Not Malays

    Confirmed That Malay Race Is Essentially Muslim, All Indian Muslims Are Malays But Christian Malays Are Not Malays

    At the Institute of Policy forum yesterday (Sep 8), Minister of State Chan Chun Sing and Senior Minister of State Janil Puthucheary both confirmed that the Malay race is essentially Muslim and that all Indian Muslims are Malays, and Christian Malays are not Malays.

    The two Ministers were responding to a Malay Christian IPS professor Dr Mathew Mathews and NUS law professor Dr Kevin Tan. Minister Chan Chun Sing said it is “common-sensical” a person’s race is decided by the 16-member committee under Lee Hsien Loong:

    “A 16-member committee will certify a prospective candidate’s racial group. The very concept of race evolves and the system to determine one’s race should not take a definitive, restrictive, exclusive approach. The community must come to terms (with) who best represents them. If the community accepts someone… then who else outside the community will want to dispute that and who else in the community will want to dispute that? So it’s a very common-sensical way to allow the community to decide for themselves.”

    Senior Minister Janil Puthucheary told Dr Mathew Mathews that he might be a Malay but he will be denied the contest because he is Christian. The Minister then tell the Christian Malay to contest in an “open” election:

    “If the Malay community changes its aspirations and its sense of what makes a Malay five years from now, there should be a way to reflect that in the choice of candidate, without us having to go for a potentially very divisive Constitutional amendment. The hypothetical individual mentioned by Dr Mathew could feel excluded, but the individual could still contest in an open election.”

    NUS law professor Dr Kevin Tan confirmed that the government having the final call on what race a person is is unconstitutional:

    “That the decisions of the Community Committee— which also assesses minority candidates under the Group Representation Constituency system in General Elections — are final, is also a problem. That is probably unconstitutional… The basic fundamental principle about the separation of powers is that if the court has to interpret the constitution, no branch of the Government can tell the court what to do.”

  • I’m Indian Muslim But Mendaki Says I’m Not Malay, Why Such Different Standards?

    I’m Indian Muslim But Mendaki Says I’m Not Malay, Why Such Different Standards?

    MP Zainal Sapari said he considers Halimah Yacob a Malay even though she is an Indian Muslim and therefore supports her to run for Presidency. But according to netizen Mohd Azmi, “Then how come students of Indian muslim father but who speak malay & behave like malay does not qualify for mendaki assistance cause mendaki considers them as indian race & not malay”.

    How does Mendaki define what is Malay? Different people different life la.

    [Malaysia] PM Najib Razak: Indian-Muslims In Country Are Bumipiteras

    The government will consider a request from the Indian-Muslim community in Malaysia to be recognised as Bumiputera, Prime Minister Najib Razak said tonight.

    He said Bumiputera status could be applied to the group either “administratively or by gazette”.

    “I have listened to the requests made (by the community) and I accept that Indian-Muslims are Bumiputera.

    “The question now is how to implement this; we will study this further to see whether it should be done administratively or, as the Indian-Muslim community have requested, by gazette. However, you are considered Bumiputera,” Najib told members of Indian-Muslim NGOs at a Hari Raya and family day celebration in Seri Kembangan tonight.

    The term “Bumiputera” means “son of the soil” and is used to refer to the Muslims and indigenous peoples of Malaysia. Bumiputera currently form 68.8% of the country’s population.

    Federation of Malaysian Indian-Muslims president Dhajudeen Shahul Hameed tonight thanked the government for acknowledging the community as Bumiputera and requested that their status be made official through a circular.

    “Even though we are acknowledged as Bumiputera, we still face a lot of bureaucracy and misinterpretation. Therefore, we hope Datuk Seri Najib Razak will issue a circular to state that Indian-Muslims are indeed Bumiputera,” Dhajudeen said in his speech at the event attended by about 20,000 people.

  • Khan Osman Sulaiman: Why Do People Claim Themselves Malay Only When There’s Something To Gain From It?

    Khan Osman Sulaiman: Why Do People Claim Themselves Malay Only When There’s Something To Gain From It?

    The Malays take all the negative stereotyping people throw at them.

    The Indian Muslims, Arabs, Javanese, Boyanese, Ceylonese will quickly distance themselves when asked whether are they Malays.

    But when there are privileges on hand, everyone wants to be a Malay. Case in hand is the presidential election where it is reserved for Malay candidates.

    Now all of the above mentioned ethnic groups will consider themselves as Malays or ‘representing’ the Malays if qualified to contest the election. Other than that, these people will proudly proclaim ‘Im not a Malay.’

    Nice right?
