Umno supreme council member Dr Mohd Puad Zarkashi said it is not fair to label the nationalist movement, Pertubuhan Peribumi Perkasa Malaysia (Perkasa) as a racist organisation merely because it defends the sovereignty of the constitution.
If Perkasa truly defends the sovereignty of the constitution, Ibrahim Ali would have respected the right of Malaysian Chinese voters in Hulu Selangor to cast their votes for any candidate they believed best fit their aspiration. Ibrahim should not have accused the voters of being 'ungrateful' and asked them to 'repent' for not voting for a BN candidate.
If Ibrahim is not racist, like Puad, he must be an E.T. since he does not understand basic human rights contained in the constitution. He sounds like a Malay, acts like a Malay but not really a Malay because many Malay leaders in PAS, PKR, DAP and those who are non-partisan think that Ibrahim is either a racist, an opportunist or a nutcase. If he is not a racist, Puad should consider the other two options.
Mohd Puad said what was being championed by the organisation was not aimed at bringing down or stealing the rights of any group but to uphold what had already been enshrined in the constitution.
I would like to ask Puad again, what is enshrined in the constitution which suggests that Malay is a supreme race and other races should be grateful for being granted citizenship. Where is the term 'bumiputera' in the constitution? Where is the social contract?
"Perkasa is not a 'racist' (organisation)... there is no such word as racist in the Malay culture, 'racist' only exists in the West because we had never carried out any 'ethnic cleansing'.
I sincerely hope there is no such word as racist in the Malay culture. Hence, it is important to sound out those in Perkasa for acting very 'un-Malay' by not respecting the rights and status of all Malaysians regardless of race or religion. A society does not need to carry out ethnic cleansing to be seen as racist. By refusing to accept equality amongst all citizens is enough to be deemed as racist.
"When Perkasa defended Malay supremacy, it is actually a question of pride of the race and progress of the race," he said.
We, non-Malays, do have our pride and self worth too. It is best for both Puad and Ibrahim to take note of this.
For now, it makes sense to REJECT RACISM.
MCA should pursue its multiracial path and vision. It has lost its relevance today. Dr Chua Soi Lek should show courage to help change the Barisan mould.

Perkasa defends their "own" race....
When NON Perkasa defends their "own" race, that's when they are wrong.
Is that how its suppose to work...?????????????????????
And...... you STILL say we live in harmony with all races..??
WHO'S the idiot starting it...?
These Umno made (not Allah) Malays should really have their DNA tested to prove they are really Malays and not other wise before they claim to be Malays.
It is often proven that only the non Malays
(at best half breeds) will fight for the share of the cake. Otherwise they would not have become a Malay !
Why fight if you are indeed a Malay ? Just like a Chinese, an Indian or even an English man, they don't have to prove what they are, they are borne as of the kind of person they are.
Only man made or should I say Umno made Malays will continue to do so like a chicken struggling to show it is still alive after their heads are cut off. How long can they continue to struggle, pretending to be alive ?
UMNO & its illegitimate child Perkasa are worse than Ku Klux Klan. At least the KKK did their killings fast. With these "malay" versions it is slow.
Perkasa is Malaysia's Ku Klux Klan - is it racist?
Of course, this UMNO person has to defend Perkasa - it is UMNO's extremist sub-contractor (funded by UMNO & other rent-seekers).
right thinking msian 1st malays dun nid anybody to defend anything as every msian's right is enshrined in the federal constitutions. perkasa is TDM braindead child formed with the intention to bring down racist BN_UMNO. his 1 last project & his way of saying sori to all msians ...
Puad should go talk to the Orang Asli. They are being systematically cleansed. Their land is being taken. Their culture and way of life is shown no respect. Their religion is being eradicated. This is their country as by the same argument put out by perkasa - they were here first!

Mr. Khoo, and the rest...
common guys... stop this racist discussion you guys are progressing nowhere by being racist - as what you preach.
Why can we discussed this in more intellectual manner?
Perkasa is not a racist organization that advocates Malay supremacy because if it does, the Malays of Kelantan and Terengganu would be enjoying their oil royalty by now, not in the form of useless unutilizable infrastructure but true development for the benefits the people while the MB resides in a simple house.
Or the Malays of Kelantan and Terengganu are not Malays simply because they do not support UMNO?
CSL only garang in front of his own race lah...In front of Umno? macham tikus!
Pekasa Ibrahim,Ismail pendatang,Nasir,Noh and now Puad CAN continue to wallop the chinese no problem to enjoy yourselves (apa salahnya) ,because we got use to it since MM time, but please at least treat the chinese like human beings not animals OK.Give us a bit of pride, hamba berterimakasih Tuan-ku .
No use arguing with those bast@^&$. Just REJECT UMNO/BN ! They don't believe in logic.
aiyo , Khoo... Perkasa is a 'Sub-Con' of UMNO la !! both trying to main wayang with the Malay and Chinese audience, and the ultimate beneficiary will be UMNO !!
4942 Jalan Bangau,
I think you are right. Intellectual discussion is a must for all discussion and vice versa. Well, its 2010 anyways.
Let me pose some questions then.
1) Why Bumiputra's are given special rights? Well, most of the time what we see on the media hailing and defending their special rights are of cause the malays. Why do you need special rights?
2) If you answered the preceding question as " Ini tanah melayu " or " ini tanah bumiputra ", i thought very strongly in islam or most of other popular religion teaches that god created everything. Then should not you guys be saying " ini tanah allah" ?? Calling it your land is kind of ignorant right? God Created everything in your/ every holy book.
3) Why do we need Article 153 ???
Maybe this are the questions to be discussed intellectually BUT, i thought we are also told and WARNED that the SENSITIVE issues that has been raised in all 3 questions may not be DISCUSSED. ISA is waiting with its gates wide open.
Thus we can never openly INTELLECTUALLY DISCUSS these matter. At least we are still left with INTELLECTUALLY (cheers with feelings of content) ... so that we can very openly be ~Intellectual~. Just leave out the discussion and stay intellectual.
PS: I always thought that my skin, after a good facial scrub will always be more sensitive than what they always call sensitive issues. Its only sensitive if you believe it is. No open discussions and Stay dumb. No wonder eh ?
Puad, is it true that Ibrahim Ali and Lim Kit Siang are buddies? Is it true of rumours saying that in actual fact, Ibrahim Ali is working with the DAP?
This Ibrahim Ali, controversial till the very end. Cannot help but believe the rumours that he is working with DAP to finish off MCA, Gerakan and MIC, then when PR takes over Putrajaya, he will switch sides? Let us wait for the drama to unfold, otherwise whatever we hear will only be hearsay and rumours only.
Perkasa and his egoistic dickhead Ib Ali are just proxies of UMNO. One is extreme to the core and the other trying to be moderate in approach to the rakyat.
However, we are not naive and foolhardy. We have had enough of you racialistic and unethical bums sandiwara. You cant fool all the people all the time.Time has come for us to get back our rights.
MCA/MIC/GERAKAN/PPP are all irrelevant to the communities of Malaysia. They can do what they like, but the rakyat will not care or bother anymore.
We will support PKR all the way irrespective of the hurdles we face. PKR fights for all irrespective.
Dear all,
I hope more and more malays will follow this blogger (and it's so happen he is a racist bigot too) and its followers... so that more and more malays... especially the ones in PKR and PAS will understand how hostile and ignorant their chinese counterparts can be.
Hopefully, after the likes of Anwar and Nik Aziz are gone... the malays will rediscover their sensibility and comeback to UMNO... the only party who can protect the malays & bumiputera from these monsters.
Alas we dont have a time machine. if we have one, i suggest all of us can return back to pre-merdeka era and set everything to status quo... only then everybody will appreciate to be a malaysian.
right guys??
Perkasa is an anomaly because its "protection" of the Constitution is on a selective basis.
I'm sure Perkasa would be gladly accepted by all Malaysians if it defends every aspect of the Constitution.
China oso racist, got china school what!
