Is Najib For All Malaysians Or A Man With Many Faces?

Can Najib be the Prime Minister for all Malaysians? A very big question mark and I can safely say that he will not and cannot be a true PM for all Malaysians. He may be talking big and I quote from Bernama report dated Oct 27:

"Come March, there will be no change of government, but only a change of leadership and we are still in one family," he said.

However, he added, of late questions were raised over the social contract, Federal Constitution and Article 153 which provided for Malay special rights.

"These we will protect as well as the rights and interests of the non-Malay communities in the country," he assured.

If he wants to protect the Malay special rights and also to protect the rights and interests of the non-Malay communities, why mince his words. Just one simple sentence to clarify the whole thing
"The Rights And Interest Of All Malaysians Will Be Protected"

To provide special rights to one particular person means that a part of another person rights have to be taken away to enable that particular person to gain that special rights.

Why must umno keep harping on the issue that certain quarters are questioning the social contract and the malay special rights. From my understanding there is nobody questioning these but umno just keep twisting the actual complaints about the system attributed to these special rights that have been misused and benefits to just a certain group of malays.

I just wonder what will be Najib response to this Malaysiakini report:

Chinese heads PKNS: Staff say 'No'
Six staff bodies of state agency Selangor Development Corporation (PKNS) have objected to the appointment of a senior official as acting general manager on grounds that she is Chinese.
'PKNS must be led by a Malay'
'We don't deny her capabilities'

If there is no change of government and only the change in leadership as predicted by Najib, than I call upon Najib to study this statement by the Perak Raja Muda Raja Nazrin Shah obtain from Malaysia Today and admit that what Raja Nazrin Shah said are actually happening in this country and he will dare to make rights all the wrong doings of his predecessors.


Governments can no longer afford to formulate policies, laws and regulations on a discriminatory basis and in an ethical vacuum, said Perak Raja Muda Raja Nazrin Shah said.

“No segment of society must be disrespected, discredited and disenfranchised. No group should feel that their efforts and contributions go unrecognised and unwanted.

“We must abandon the ‘silo’ mentality where we only look up at what is happening and not beside us at what others are experiencing,” Raja Nazrin said at the 21st LawAsia Conference.

Bringing this about is one of the greatest challenges of governance today. For this reason, he said that there was case for empowering through the principle of inclusiveness.

“Only inclusive development through empowerment can societies become strong and we can achieve lasting outcomes,” he told lawyers, judges and students of law in his keynote address.

He said that not empowering citizens could lead to “a deep sense of alienantion and hostility” that could cause “ rash acts of violence that fracture societies.”

“We cannot morally turn our backs on the fundamental responsibility of ensuring that all stakeholders in our society, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, have a place under the sun.”

“But by closing our two eyes to problems does help in building unity and integration required to face the economic and social turmoil that is likely to result. “Empowerment is a precondition for an integrated and progressive Asia. Interestingly enough, the forces that can connect Asia also have the potential to empower its people.”

He cited five areas that could empower Asia.

“The first prerequisite of empowerment must be to strengthen the rule of law. The law has the capacity to unite and enfranchise the people of Asia like no other.

“The second source of empowerment is greater political participation. One of the essential tasks of Asia’s leaders is to convert residents into citizens and citizens into stakeholders.

“It is only when citizens are also stakeholders will there be the widest sense of ownership of problems and challenges. In order for Asian countries to weather this storm, governance systems must be broadly based and consultative to minimise non-cooperative behaviour.”

A third prerequisite for empowerment is that values and beliefs need to be changed and this is never a straightforward task.

A fourth source of empowerment is technology, particularly information and communication technology.

A fifth source of empowerment is education that breaks the chains of oppressive traditions and extremism.

“Education has paved the way for many to find their way out of poverty and for countries to sharpen their competitive edge,” Raja Nazrin added.

Unfortunately, he said that good quality education was still a dream for many.
