Ketuanan Melayu is an expression of Malay Rule a call to re assert their rightful place in Malaysia-as the lawful custodians of their land, and a majority in a democracy. Where they are effectively and rightfully in control of their own destiny first and foremost.

The Non Malay -read the mainly Chinese and Indian- interpretation of that term is an offensive attempt at distorting the true meaning of Ketuanan Melayu - they turn it into a call to racial over lordism over the non Malays. Nothing could be further from the truth.

There is nothing in "Ketuanan Melayu" that calls for the displacement of the Chinese or the Indians. It is the reinforcement of the aspirational sentiment to the elevation of the Malays from their position of long held servitude under the the British and their agents, the Chinese and Indians, into a position of relative equivalence. The opportunity. An expression of their liberation.

"the Malays position from servitude for 200 years under the British"

What nonsense.

It's the others doing the servitude to the Brits.

The Brits were minded the Malays were too fcuking "lazy" for anything.

Well, except to serve the Brits in a post-colonial neo-imperialist arrangement where the elite rule on behalf of the Brits.

Errm, whereupon the clueless comics went on to make a mess of everything for Malaysia and themselves.

And that, and more, they blame on everyone else.

It isn’t so bad if they know how to run the country. But they don’t. Every ministry is shoddy. Ministers talk bull and their directions are equally bad. Hiding under the skirt of race and religion is the only recourse of an impotent government

Why does our PM look so bleeding daft with that hat he's taken to wearing in the recent year?

Is he hiding hair loss?

Or he wants to look a subcontinental.

Or rather than wearing a colourful napkin as brother Ibrahim Ali does, Anwar thinks that foreign hat looks more the part for that ketuanan supremacy flavour?

Still, I can't say I've got any big moan about the silly hat and the moronic smirk, that pic is out of this world - or, at least out of the jungle..! It's great when our commander in chief can make a fool of himself!

Why do you must exalt the English language when you considered yourself Malaysians? Thai Chinese spoke Siamese so do Indonesian Chinese speaks Bahasa Indonesia.

Malaysian Chinese should speak a Dayak language, why "Malay" which is a poor pirate copy of Bahasa Indonesia with just too much badly broken English, Dutch, Papua pidgin, and even Hokkien?

English should be encouraged, like it or not, it's fairly universal.

Fancy if you were to voice your worthless support for the Palestinians, nobody would understand or want to hear Malay.

Shagging off constantly about speaking "bahahahasa" is more about some dogsh*t "supremacy" than anything practical or not a bleeding pain to the ear, I'd sooner go for Iban, Bidayuh, or even Arabic - some of you comedians are already dying to be Arabs..!

"Ketuananism" doesn't have half a donkey leg to stand on. It reeks of fear and grotesque inadequacy that it's bogus basis for existence could have the floor sawn off from its hollow carcass.

It's more like a word for apartheid

Except that the monkeys want to run the zoo.
