Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said excessive politicking gave an impression that Malaysia is too preoccupied with political bickering that more important things are being neglected.
Muhyiddin should walk his talk on curbing excessive politicking in his own backyard too. He should immediately put a stop to making a pass of the history subject a compulsory at the SPM level.
He should order a review of the history curriculum and contents to reflect a true and comprehensive account of the national history. Repeated calls for an immediate review were ignored by him and his ministry. The fact is the history subject aims to promote certain distorted views/facts about the making of this nation.
It is one of the worse abuses of Malaysia's diversity and national history by trying to corrupt the minds of young Malaysians.
On the same breath, he asked for Selangor MB Khalid Ibrahim's resignation for failing to obtain 2/3 majority to pass the motion to amend the state constitution to empower the state top executive on appointment of top state civil servant.
This is another form of politicking. Muhyiddin has resorted to poor politicking as quick as he has asked for it to be curbed.
Although I am appalled by the Selangor Pakatan's government fiddling with feudalism, I support the amendment on the basis of power decentralisation. Malaysia is a federation of states. In the true spirit of the federal constitution, a state government should be allowed to appoint its own top civil servant.
Over the last few decades, the federal government has usurped almost the entire state autonomy. It was allowed to happen because the same ruling regime has been controlling both the federal and most of the state governments since independence.
For the sake this country, Muhyiddin should support the amendment and return the state power to the state executives. It is obvious that BN state representatives had been partisan in their rejection of the motion to return the power to appoint a top state civil servant back to the state.
Muhyiddin should walk his own talk. He should not over politicize his own ministry of education and look into the grouses on the recent controversial book 'Interlok'.

My dearest DPM,
Unlike many of you I have NO interests in politics,parties,whatnot.I only have the nation's interest at heart, where you are in that special position which could make it realised, if you put politics aside:
1.Listen earnestly those helpless parents whose school kids are innocently caught in this predicament of studying Science&Maths in English but will have to sit for in BM examination later.Give these poor kids a choice(to sit in English) as they are staring sure failure in both subjects,probably failing the whole exam too as a result with a bleak future.Otherwise start afresh to teach both these subjects in BM from day one Std.1, not halfway.
2.Create an English-medium school in every area for those who want to send their kids to,back to the good old days where we speak/write better English,also helping the races to come together,unlike now where chinese schools are growing in size but national schools declined.A true nationalist is someone who loves and contibutes positively to the nation,not merely one who speaks/writes great Bahasa Malaysia but shortchanges the nation in many ways.
3.Take firm actions on misdoers whoever they are so to stop the rot, safe rhetorics score good political points but inconsequential(problem unsolved).
4.Refrain from small political talks,we have more than enough many smallish leaders doing this ungreat job.You should tackle the big issues confronting the nation/people.
5.Am I asking for the moon, Mr DPM?
Based on DPM argument that Najib and the whole cabinets must also resign for failing to get 2/3 majority in Parliament.
What a cow dung brain typified by Nazri true to DPM of Malaysia.
Pity you Malaysians!

Hello, how do you define feudalism? What Pakatan was trying to do can hardly be considered fiddling with feudalism.
Look at it simply. People of Selangor voted Pakatan. If the Pakatan government has to accept a BN friendly chief secretary especially in the light of what happened in Perak, they have every right to protest. I am a Selangor resident and I think what is happening is outrageous.
Definition of feudalism from dictionary.com:
A system of obligations that bound lords and their subjects in Europe during much of the Middle Ages. In theory, the king owned all or most of the land and gave it to his leading nobles in return for their loyalty and military service. The nobles in turn held land that peasants, including serfs, were allowed to farm in return for the peasants' labor and a portion of their produce. Under feudalism, people were born with a permanent position in society.
This guy is not fit to be DPM. He belongs to the mo......family.
Khoo you are dead right that he is the one who is politising all this while.
He doesnt care a damn of non malays concern on the blantant distorted facts on our history books. So do the Interlock. All he does is start blaring his foul racialistic mouth.
