Did the Umno people not see the Indians from Hindraf wearing PAS T-shirts and carrying PAS flags in a Chinese temple in Port Kelang while shouting ‘Allah Akbar’ during the DAP ceramah? Did the Umno people not see the Malays from Kampong Raja Uda in Port Kelang vote for an Indian Member of Parliament and a Chinese State Assemblyman, both from DAP, when since Merdeka of 51 years ago they had always voted Barisan Nasisonal (and the Alliance Party before that)? Did the Umno people not see the God of Money statue in Kuala Kedah hold a PKR flag in one hand and a PAS flag in the other when this temple had been a MCA stronghold since Merdeka of 51 years ago? Did the Umno people not see the Malays in Kampong Baru open the doors of their houses so that the Hindraf Indians who were being chased by the police after being tear-gassed could seek refuge? Did the Umno people not see the PAS Malays drag the Indians and Chinese blinded by tear-gas into the Jamik Mosque so that they could escape retaliation from the police during the 10 November 2007 Bersih march?
No, this is not about the Chinese and Indians voting opposition to kick the Malays out. It was also not about the Chinese and Indians ganging up on the Malays. It was about the Malays, Chinese and Indians uniting under the umbrella of People’s Power. The Indians call it Makkal Sakhti. The Malays call it Suara Rakyat, Suara Keramat. In English that means the people’s voice is a sacred voice. And from that was born People’s Power or Makhal Sakhti.

Dr M and the Race card.
My comment to DrM's article http://www.malaysia-today.net/2008/content/view/7587/84/
The Malays will never lose their political power, as they have the numbers. DrM and UMNO has failed to help the average Malay economically. Malay customs of ethics and sopan were thrown out of the window for a system of crony capitaism. Even then, DrM failed to establish good governance; essential in GOVERNMENT.
The race card is not going to work, as they have spoken during the last election.
AAB and BN allies have no reasonable plans in taking Malaysia into a globalized, educated and competitive nation of fair and just governance.
It appears DSAI has the political will, economics smarts and moral courage in undertaking those challenges

Parliment Session - LKS - KJ - Can Man Condemn One to Hell/Heaven?
Lim Kit Siang was formidable in the last Parliment session of speeches & shouting matches. Responses from both BN and the opposition appeared confusing with minimal reasonable debates. Tian Chua was kind of shy and spoke well in malay. Some BN politician were respectful.
Khairy Jamaluddin, was I think trying to be philosophical when he said that man cannot condemn one to hell; as 'implied' by rpk article, 'Let’s send the Altantuya murderers to hell;..which pissed LKS..shouts could be heard...not sure who/what else. LKS made fun of oxford grads...and being the richest unemployed (person)..see LKS
Anyway long story minimized; LKS should have said 'Yes man (legal system) can condemn one to hell in death penalty for violent crimes committed by man'. 'As far as going to heaven; that God/Tuhan decides' Not GOVERNMENT'.
Can't we have a civil debate!
