There was an article circulating in cyberspace recently. Singapore’s Harry Lee made some pointed observations, which were published in a Malaysian Chinese daily, to the effect that the Chinese had a very small window of opportunity to reverse things or face extended gloom in the form of subservience to the numerically dominant Malays and other groups of Muslims.

While the problems of racial superiority garbage practiced by the Malaysian government have been a thorn in the side of other races for as long as I can remember, Harry and his compressed timeframe brings into focus how untenable the situation really is. No one I know is happy to let his child remain in Malaysia. Most choose to stay only because there is either no option to leave or the option is too expensive or costly in other terms. Few choose to stay for altruistic reasons, especially if one has children.

For those who chose to remain in Malaysia for whatever reason, I am grateful but hope they do not have any regrets later. I am grateful because obviously that means I have people to provide that bridge to my past which completes me. I cant imagine going to Malaysia with no one to catch up with.

So for those people I must continue to hope Malaysia does better. Unfortunately every time I looked up Malaysian news, all I see are negative items. I see how a Prime Minister continues to be stained with allegations of involvement with murder. The fact that Najib Razak remains heavily implicated in the murder of a Mongolian national as a result of an illicit affair is an indictment that can only go away with due investigation and if supported by prima facie evidence, resignation and prosecution for murder or whatever the evidence supports.

Prosecuting Najib Razak for murder is entirely proper but of course, well nigh impossible. In fact like recent writings suggest no one even remotely close to being an authority figure runs any risk of being hauled by the law. Many have gotten away with murder before, let alone a blue blooded Prime Minister like Najib Razak. One would have to penetrate through levels of highly corrupt police, attorney general’s office and the judiciary.

In all of this, I wonder if the family of Najib Razak’s alleged murder victim can mount a campaign to bring international pressure to bear. Certainly overseas Malaysian Chinese can play their role to highlight the evidence tying Najib Razak to the murder of Altantuya Shaariibuu as a reciprocal gesture to the loyalists who remain in “tanah tumpah darah ku”. Maybe that is the little we can to and thwart or counter the process of thinning out the minority races in Malaysia.

The likes of Najib Razak and his grubby UMNO twerps may want to thin out the minority races but no one should be allowed to get away with murder.

Stayed up last night watching the Aussies level the 1 day series with India. 2-2 now, but I still think it’s uphill for the Aussies.
Slept in this morning, woke up and made a pot of coffee, then made a massive salad for the barbie at Alex’s place this arvo. It’s Johannes’ birthday and Alex has invited a village over for a poolside barbie.
Kiddo received in the mail last night, a note suggesting she passed her grade 8 piano. what a relief this is to us all. Praise God for His goodness to kiddo in particular. She is still in the midst of exams however so will be giving the barbie a miss.
It’s a cool day, a welcome change from yesterday’s 33. It’s tipped to be 20 deg max today.
I drew a horse called Mourilyan for the big one at 3pm today. Think the grog will work better for me than the race.
