But why only the Malays? Why not also the
Chinese and Indians? Maybe this is because the Malays are more impressionable than
the other races. We all know that the Malays embraced Islam as soon as their leaders, in
this case the Sultans, converted to Islam. I wonder what religion we would be practising
today if the Sultans had become Buddhists instead. The Malays make great followers.
They follow any leader, whether good or bad. The Malays are also the easiest to mislead.
They would believe in anything, especially if it is something super-natural. How do you
think Mona Fendi made her living? It is dangerous to try to change the old values
of the Malays. There is no guarantee that the new values that would emerge in its place
will be the one we want. Hitler tried this in Nazi Germany. The idea was the same,
only the method was different. I have a doctor couple whose 16 year old daughter turned
out to be a Bohsia. That blows Lee Kuan Yew's theory that doctors who marry doctors
produce super-doctor babies. I have another doctor couple friend whose father was a
fisherman. It is breeding and not birth that makes the person. Of course the
birth (into the right family) gives the person an advantage of a better education; but
only if he or she wants it. So if a person is bred wrong he would turn out wrong, never
mind how and where he was born.
If the government brings up our children telling them that the world is theirs for the
taking, they will go out and try to take over the world. If the government tells our
children that the old Malay is dead and a new Malay, the Melayu Baru, has emerged
in its place, our children will become this Melayu Baru. We might not like, however, the
Melayu Baru that we will see. |
