Tunku Abdul Rahman is the Father of this nation, and if he was alive today, he would be appalled by the rabid tussle of today's Malaysia.
Quoting from the book Political Awakenings (as referenced by Wikipedia)
"...when we (the Malays) fought against the Malayan Union (which upset the position of the Malays' rights) the others took no part in it because they said this is purely a Malay concern, and not theirs. They also indicate that they owe their loyalty to their countries of origin, and for that reason they oppose the Barnes Report to make Malay the national language. If we were to hand over the Malays to these so-called Malayans when their nationality has not been defined there will be a lot of problems ahead of us."
However, he continued that "For those who love and feel they owe undivided loyalty to this country, we will welcome them as Malayans. They must truly be Malayans, and they will have the same rights and privileges as the Malays."
Kita Semua Bangsa Malaysia, betul tak?
We have undivided loyalty to this country, we have sung Negaraku since we were young, we hold aloft the Jalur Gemilang with pride, we recognise Malay as the national language, Islam as the official religion of this country...
Isn't that enough?
We support fully Dato' Chua Jui Meng's stance to seek closure on the NEP and hope that all UMNO & BN leaders would come together to bring Malaysia towards Vision 2020. (I have included a link to the DEFINITION of VISION 2020 by the PM's Department)
