Rasiskah Utusan Malaysia?

Rasiskah Utusan Malaysia?

By Zamri Zainol Abidin

Today this (Wednesday, March 24, 2010) newspaper Utusan Malaysia publish a report on Members of Parliament statement Bagan Lim Guan Eng that mention in the House of Commons yesterday that Utusan Malaysia is a newspaper that Rasis.

This is a very serious allegation that his statement as involving a newspaper representing the views and voices of the Malays have followers and supporters of its own.

However, authors are grateful because there are among the Members of Parliament who rise to defend Utusan Malaysia in the halls of the noble.

This shows that although Utusan Malaysi a deemed Rasis, there is still among us who do not agree with these views.

But what purpose he mentioned and claimed that the newspaper Utusan Malaysia newspaper Rasis in a hall that is noble?

Is it possible because he knew that whatever statement he was in the hall not be liable to action because it is immune from national legislation?

If he truly believes that The Star newspaper that a Rasis, Sukalah author would like to hear him repeat the statement outside the hall.

If he does not want to do so, we must ask whether in reality simply a political strategy to generate hate to Utusan Malaysia, or whether he acted because really confident with the belief that The Staris a newspaper that Rasis?

Authors anticipate that this situation is actually more to antagonize people of Utusan Malaysia.

Opposition know that The Star is a newspaper that never tired fight for the rights of the Malays and always reminds the Malays that caught Siaga tactics with fine any party that want to eliminate their rights.

Estimates on the opposition, if the main voice of the Malays was erased from the memory box of the Malays, the more they mudahlah terleka and efforts to eliminate the privileges of the Malays is more easily achieved.

But The Star newspaper which is not an easily removed in such a way because it has a long history of struggle.

So, the most effective measures is to instill seedlings hatred of the Malays and Malaysians in particular of this historic newspaper.

But slogans like Rasis, rigid, cheats and others dilemparkan to Utusan Malaysia so little of nausea and irritated that the Malays can be caused be forced apologetik its own right when talking about the already enshrined in the Constitution of Malaysia.

So where rasisnya Utusan Malaysia if what is expressed in context of the Constitution? Or whether the statement actually Guan Eng protect his true feelings that the Malaysian Constitution also actually Rasis?

Guan Eng should clarify his statement that the Malays and Malaysians to understand what is actually hovering in the box thought.

This is because if the DAP Secretary-General believed that the Constitution of Malaysia is a constitutional Rasis, then terbuktilah to us that the opposition claims that they will continue to defend the rights of the Malays if the authority is the stage for power alone.

If, Lim Guan Eng also stated otherwise, that he was confident that the Constitution does not Rasis, so why would Utusan Malaysia defend the rights of the Malays according to Constitutional principles stamped as Rasis?

If both these situations occur, then wajarlah Guan Eng apologize to Utusan Malaysia for misleading people by using the immunities of the House of Commons as a weapon.

If he still insist and do not want to apologize, authors propose that he be referred to the Committee on Rights and Privileges of Parliament, so that in future all parties realize the noble hall is not a place to sow turmoil and antagonize people.
