Hitler’s public relations manager, Goebbels, once said, ‘If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth..’ Looks like that is what Umno has been doing ever since Mahathir a/l Mohamed came into power. This has spawned a new generation of Malaysians who do not know their own history

Once again our government had to wipe out any references to a famous Melaka prince as being Hindu and belonging to the powerful Hindu empire Sri Vijaya. So all of a sudden our museums, school text-books etc. all refer to Parameswara as a Malay prince.

What race ruled or did not rule is besides the point. What is important is not butchering history to create your own truths. You cannot change your race even if you convert – Parameswara could have been responsible for Umno’s stupid and false sense of heritage through ‘Ketuanan Melayu’. If this is what it is based on, there is no ‘Ketuanan Melayu’ because the lineage of Melaka Sultans are Indians, not Malays. It is no secret that Parameswara was an Indian and a Hindu prince. It is clear from records that Parameswara never converted to Islam. He was an Indian Hindu who fled Palembang in Sumatra to eventually found Melaka circa 1400 AD and start the entire Malaysian royalty. Malaysia’s royalty was and is of Hindu/India origin. On the other hand it was Sri Maharaja who converted himself and the court of Melaka to Islam, and as a result took on the name of Sultan Muhammad Shah sometime after 1435.

The most famous of Indian Hindu Kings were Rajaraja Chola and his son Rajendra Chola who invaded Southern Thailand, Kedah, Perak, Johor and Sumatra about 1000 AD. This is Raja-raja Chola – the Indian/Hindu kings and not Raja Chulan – a Malay king.

But what is really sad is that our children are taught as though Malaysian history suddenly began in 1400 with an Islamic Melaka. Even the Malays themselves are being cheated by UMNO into believing that everything started around 1400. We are also led to believe that the Indians and Chinese first arrived on the shores of Malaysia only in around 1850 as desperate indentured labourers, farmers and miners. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The cultural influences of India in particular, and China, in South East Asia span over 2,000 years, starting perhaps with the arrival from India of the Brahmanical prince/scholar – Aji Saka in Java in AD78, through to Vietnam, Cambodia (Indo China), Thailand, Burma, Indonesia, Bali, Borneo, Brunei and beyond. Malay culture is Indian culture. In fact the whole of South East Asian culture is Indian culture.

The findings at Bujang Valley speak of an ancient Indian/Hindu presence in Kedah.. There were Chinese settlements in Pahang and Kelantan around the 13th -14th century and in 12th century in Singapore… The early Brunei Sultanate had a Chinese Queen. One need not ponder at length the implications of Angkor Wat and Borobudur or that 40%-50% of Bahasa Malaysia comprises Sanskrit/Tamil words . But ALL of these are hidden away from the rakyat inc the Malays themselves so the Malays in particular grow up with limited knowledge of their own country and heritage

To illustrate, some of these words are:

bumi = boomi

putra = putran

raja = rajah

desa = thesam

syakti = sakthi

kolam = kulam

bahaya = abahya

jaya = jeya

maha = maha

aneka = aneha

nadi = naadi

kedai = kadai

mahligai = maaligai

mantra = manthrum

menteri = manteri

Suka = Sukha

Duka = Dhukkha

Manusia=Mannusa

etc etc

(This list can go on and it is true because Tamil and Sanskrit are about 5, 000 years old)

An extremely important archeological find that pointed to one of the greatest empires in history – the Raja Cholan empire that ruled from the Maldives through India, Sri Lanka and right down to South East Asia found deep in the jungles of Johor a few years ago and made headlines in the mainstream newspapers in 2005, suddenly disappeared from the news…..

The time has arrived for us to record our history as the facts tell us and not as we would like to wish it for. The truth will never hurt anyone. Lies, always will.

ps: american said they not racist infect they are big mother fucker racist. All blogger here same, dont’ deny lah..

why obama become us president.. kerana kemampuannya untuk mempengaruhi orang kulit putih dan kulit hitam.. dia mempunyai character nya yang sendiri… tengoklah berapa juta orang putih berhimpuan semasa taklimat menerima jawatan… cara dia cakap.. cara dia berdialog.. mmg mempengaruhi sesiapa yang mendengarnya.. dia tak memaksa pun sesiapa untuk memberi peluang black control amerika.. no..! nonsense.. even white, jew, black, chinoz.. all together support him.. with open heart… not kerana dipaksa..

one day if Malaysian ada leader dari bangsa bukan bumiputra.. dan dia mampu mempengaruhi melayu, india, cina…untuk menyokongnya.. off course semua akan terima..

i think, nobody should say, onather race must give chance to another race to lead.. hey mate u wrong… dont ask for chance.. working urself.. to get respect…

What you have in your mind is that other ethnic groups are snatching what the Malays should have entitled to – this is not true and complete unfounded. I don’t see any wrong with Lim Goh Tong operating a casino in Malaysia – the rules and regulations are well laid out, Malays are not allowed to enter the casino and neither are they forced to enter one. Then what about alcoholic drinks? Just because you can’t consume them that means a nation-wide ban on them? So far I don’t see any such ban kicking into effect.

Mind you, inter-racial marriages are not an attempt to ‘convert the natives into another cultural makeup.’ Marriage is personal devotion and commitment to one another – I have no idea where did you get that skewed opinion of yours. Inter-racial marriages are just like any other marriages, and you frown on them just because it involves people from different races? How racist.

Again I thank God for you not being a history textbook author.

“Your history understanding is screwed up, when on earth the Malays were under duress and forced to give citizenships to other races by British? British agreed to the independence because they believe this country can be self governed by all the races, not just one race.”

This fact is well known, the British forced the Malays to agree to give citizenship to the immigrants or else these people who were British Empire citizens may have to go to England just as in Hongkong or Uganda. The MCA had to go on a campaign to persuade Chinese to register as citizens so politically uninterested were they about Malaysia. So too the Indians, Seenivasagam was so grateful to the malays saying no other countries would have done it.

Why do you think immigrants Chinese and Indians deserved to be citizens of an unknown country? Most just want to make a fortune and go back to Kwangtung or wherever.. Most of them had dual citizenship as they were not sure of the economic prosperity in then Malaysia. At one stroke it saved the British from their burden of their collapsing colonialism.

The natives malays were taking Persekutuan Tanah Melayu back from the British.

To Teddy

“Malaysia did not ‘chase’ the British away – we just gained independent of them because we had proven to the British empire that we are a country that is capable of governing itself. We pushed for independence on the basis of unity and equality – and not denouncing that ‘oh, this is MALAY land’ or whatsoever. The name doesn’t imply anything.”

Hahaha..the British give up Malaya which was rich with rubber and tin willingly? The Malays were willing to take up arms and the British empire then was crumbling there was nothing that they can do. The Japanese success in humiliating the English and incarcerating them showed Malays that the English were not invincible. And the Japanese offered greater SEA.

If vernacular schools continue to teach Mandarin and Indians culture of course there will be a collision in future. That is a guarantee.

Although 3rd generation chinese and Indians feel they are unfairly burden by the sins of their fathers/grandfathers their option is really not bad. With their vernacular education they have their cultural ties intact. While Malaynes cannot be changed..however hard people like Raja Petra would try by marying a chinese, it is not possible to convert the natives into another cultural makeup.

The aggresiveness of chinese or indians or bangla or mynamar migrants is well recorded. Lim Goh Tong came over with only RM10 and by hard work and luck venture into gambling that allows him respectability with his fortune. As Malays frowned publicly on gambling he was able to monopolise gambling abetted by prominent malays family.

The unfair trade practices and cutthroat lifestyles of chinese labour are also frowned in europe or us…to be continued…hehehe :halo:

Hehehe I have more interesting views …Kwang

Its a pity Malaysians dont understand the similarity between Obama and Pak Lah.

Even American miss this point. Obama father was not part of the slaves that are the ancestors of most negros in America.

He was a Muslim student from Kenya so had no slavery hangup.

PakLah Chinese ancestor was never a factor as Malays are racially blind. Pak Lah embraced Malay culturally, Obama embraced the Jews wholeheartedly. Obama drop his father’s name Hussein, gave up Islam embraced Catholic, appoint a Jewish fighter immediately as Chief of Staff.

So there is nothing there about Obama that any malaysian can be proud of or want to emulate.

They should be proud of Pak Lah the 25% Chinese who was able to lead the Malays and Malaysia by embracing culturally the Malays and think himself as Malays first.

Just as Obama think of the Jews first.

If Pak Lah Chinese grandfather had taken his wife back to China he would be Chinese. As it is his grandfather chose to assimilate and adopt Malay culture and language and let his daughter marry a Malay thus letting a quarter Chinese to be the PM of Malaysia.

Of course if his grandfather wanted to promote Mandarin he would have been chased away or worse, which he wisely avoided unlike some smart alec politician.

“So u have to live with this Malay world and culture or u can go back and live with your Chinese culture in China or India who ever u maybe.”

I doubt your Malay brethren sharing the same idea with you. You are insulting Malays by saying they cannot co-exist with other races and implying other races are more aggressive that they pose threat to the Malays.

Your history understanding is screwed up, when on earth the Malays were under duress and forced to give citizenships to other races by British? British agreed to the independence because they believe this country can be self governed by all the races, not just one race.

Why you think the 3rd, 4th generation of other races as people who are here to ‘steal’ from the Malays, and takeover the country? What basis of your presumptions?

Since when other races object Malay cultures, or denying the rights of the Malays to go about with their custome, and using Malay language as the national language? Mind you, it is the politicians and some fanatics interpreting every actions by other races as sinister plots to ‘weaken’ or destroy the Malays.

Fear. When you fear, you cannot think straight. Now, think again.

Pak Lah, bukan ada darah mata sepet? Tetapi mereka ini jadi pemimpin Melayu, pemimpin Tanah Melayu.

Pendek cerita, kedatangan orang Melayu, suatu ketika dahulu juga atas sebab ekonomi. Dari mana mereka datang? Nusantara? Afrika? China? Itu bergantung kepada fakta sejarah mana yang ko selidik.

Your definition of ‘orang asing’ terlalu sempit dan bersifat memecahbelahkan perpaduan rakyat Malaysia
Siapa hendak mengambil alih negara ini? Itu yang menghairankan, wujudkan igauan songsang sebegini, kononnya ‘orang asing’ hendak merampas kuasa orang Melayu, sedangkan semuanya sudah termaktub dalam perlembagaan.

to reply to ‘malay’…aiyo… apa punya pemikiran yg TAK LOGIK langsung…

ok..dis is from wikipedia:

Abdullah Badawi was born in Kepala Batas, Penang to a prominent religious family. His father, Ahmad Badawi, was a prominent religious figure and UMNO member. Badawi’s paternal grandfather is Syeikh Abdullah Badawi Fahim, who was one of the founding members of Hizbul Muslimin, later known as PAS. Syeikh Abdullah Badawi Fahim was also a famous nationalist and first mufti of Penang after Independence.His maternal grandfather, Ha Su-chiang (also known as Hassan), was a Chinese Muslim who came from Sanya in Hainan.

wat a joke to tell me he is a half chinese..even though it is, what so big deal with it?? haiz.. malay (you) memang malay..i think you are quite racist~

kawan.. Pak Lah grandfather is Muslim and his maternal grandfather is a chinese converted muslim. So?? First of all, I do not know whether Pak Lah had ever seen his maternal grandfather. He is known to ALL Malaysians except YOU that he is a Muslim and practises Islam. We all know how great his father as a religious figure and his grandfather who was the key player in PAS formation.

Have ‘malay’ (you..plz use other name , i do not want to be misunderstood to say malay race) being told he has EVER practice ANY Chinese tradition before? From his family background, it is well known that he is also a religious person as well. Thats is one of extra point why Tun Mahathir had choosen him as he has strong faith in his religion compared to any others. He is expected to serve the Muslim community well. Did we ever see in the newspaper he celebrated Chinese New Year and go back China to visit his ancestors? Joker la you..PLZ ASK TUN MAHATHIR OR ANY UMNO LEADERS about their generousity in choosing a half Chinese to become a PM.. they will laugh for their whole life! Do you ever think his so called chinese background as u claimed has any influence in choosing him as PM.. r u a kindergarten kids? I shall post this and ask Chedet.

Now, when I saw your comment, i found it totally irrelevant~ Thats y i find time to reply you.
‘But Pak Lah, like Obama embraced the local culture and fight and think of himself as Malay first. Look closely at Pak Lah eyes…yes they are sepet because he is half Chinese! ‘

Think of himself as Malay first? Well, has he think of a Chinese ever before in his life? It will be definitely NO… looking to his background and u tell me he put his identity as Malay first is a totally out of the question and God ..WHAT A JOKE! He has been a Malay since he was born.. brother.. and he is following well his father in terms of faith in Islam..

he is sepet because he is a half chinese? What r you trying to say? R u making a racist statement?

‘The Malays are well known for their generosity and lack or racism’. Well, I agreed Malay are generous as in general.. i do have Malay friends and i know well that..but to say there is lack of racism i totally disagreed referring to the UMNO politician..eg ahmad ismail.
Brother..see my post CLEARLY… i didnt say malay are racist.. the dominance i mentioned if u evaluate it carefully is all about the Malay politican..(u know which party) that ‘mengapi-apikan’ semangat perkauman within their OWN race.. there is a difference.. plz take note..

‘..Malaysia that is run by the Malay Civil Service as developed country so that it grows and grows.’. Brother.. do you have Chinese friends? If you dun have, dun be racist..start knowing some.. good for your soul.

R u claiming that Malaysia are developed country because it is run by Malay civil service? What a totally IGNORANT views! R u living in a cave? Do you know that the system that have been practised by some party has caused to the civil servants to be dominated by a certain race.. Bro.. do you know not what is happening in our country to non Malays.. Double standard is being practised. There are a lots of lower social class of non Malays that wanted to join the civil service but their rights have been denied as in double standard is being practised. Dun believe me..go ask any adult non Malays.. is either ur application is rejected or they give you a post that you dont want or more prominently they sent you to a place far away from your choice. Thats is why there is poor enrollment in the civil servant. You want example. LEt me tell you a real case. This apply to the Immigration and JPJ department. A chinese driving coach was telling me.. for years we chinese have been applying to the job at JPJ but our application has been denied. HAve you see any non malays officer in JPJ or immigration…as for me, i haven seen before..if yes.. it is countable numbers.. dun simply blame without figuring some facts.. it show how ignorant r you..

i strongly keep my finger cross that Malaysia one day can achieve Bangsa Malaysia by eliminating some racist sentiment as shown by you (malay again not malay race’). we can only achiee the best for the country and for our ownselves should we think liberally and be open minded. Do not too care of supremency.

tq.. plz do not reply me with another silly joke.. i cant tahan~
