Reading the two pieces from the UMNO mouthpieces, NST and Utusan, it gives the picture that there is still a bad intention of retaining the status quo between Malays and non-Malays.
What Utusan said is a repeat of what UMNO thinks after they had a big setback following March 8 2008 elections. They think that the result meant that the position of the Malays were under threat. To this day, such thinking doesn't actually exist in reality. It is just the state of mind that UMNO wants to implant in the people.
NST has been talking about Penang, with Guan Eng as the puppet of Anwar, almost similar to the Nizar Puppet of DAP slogan rhetoric that Barisan Nasional is using during the Bukit Gantang by-election.
Whoever wrote this thing and whoever the editor who consents to releasing this thing is either doing on instruction by the political masters to split the Malaysian community, making the people to be suspicious of other races or doesn't have the brain to think of consequences on the impact on the Malaysian society. Those pieces can be shall we say is committing the offence of the PPA act, Sedition act - just the same thing as what Harakah and Suara Keadilan did. If the latter two dailies were suspended, why not suspend NST or Utusan? Chances are given that their own daily entities did that, I bet that UMNO is likely to instruct authorities to drop one eye in the event of other parties filing police reports against the dailies.
The audience target for those two news pieces in example are particularly the people who stay in rural areas and those who didn't have proper education. These are the two factors that can be counted as shaping the beliefs with facts that are wrong in overall. In the city, not many people are buying into the story because of the urban person's education level is higher than those in the rural areas. Intellect factor is a double-edge sword. The higher intellect a person is given via education.
In a place where there's dictatorship, facism, iron first or non-democracy the higher the education level a person gets, the higher possibility a person could turn against the own government - a fear thing - which is why the literacy level in Malaysia still remains at a mid-line of 50% plus, with most education handicaps come from rural areas. That is also another reason why there's still the blind faith factor for Barisan in elections - believing that they did their job well and no need for improvement...bla bla bla..
What those interviewed said in those two pieces in inference is two things: to elicit sympathy from readers, and to create a belief based on the wrong facts. As for the case of Utusan, what the piece suggests is that the Malay community should be under the umbrella of UMNO. But still as the last 10 years suggest, lower class of people being in UMNO doesn't get much of the benefit.
Hoodwinking the people has resulted in many people, in lower classes to beg instead of fishing and making their own cut in their lives. Begging in the sense of asking money, contracts - a reference to cronyism. Hisham Rais always have tags in his blog that constantly says "Jangan Bodohkan Melayu". I must say for that Utusan Melayu thing, it is close to the tagline.
Now here's the good chance for Hisham Hussein as the new Home Minister to act against the parties that many people firmly believed to be invoking breaking of community.
In order to create a Bangsa Malaysia community, people should reject the kind of rhetorics that is associated to feudal periods, Bourbons, race politics, racial stuff and etc.. One Malaysia, something that Najib champions will end up like Islam Hadhari if they do not act or follow up against what is religiously and factually wrong for the multi-racial community of Malaysia. So stop fooling our other fellow Malaysians!!!
