Even our former PM is playing the ke-Tuanan thing....what a shame!

I have just commented in his blog...this is my view of his recent emphasis on the Tuan thing.

Tun Dr Mahathir,

This is the first time I come into your blog but certainly not the first time I wanted to say my share of opinion about you.

You might have been great to Malaysia in your 22 years 'managing' her but you have your fair share of flaws too in putting her in today's irony! And now, you are advocating Tuan here and Tuan there to your own race - sounding racial indeed.

Let me ask as a loyal Malaysian,

1. WHY TODAY'S MALAYSIA IS NOT WHAT SHE SUPPOSED TO BE AFTER 50 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE?
2. WHY MALAYSIANS CAN'T IDENTIFIED THEMSELVES AS BANGSA MALAYSIA?
3. WHY MALAYSIAN MUST BE CATEGORIZED AS MALAY, CHINESE, INDIAN, DAN LAIN LAIN?
4. WHY MALAYS WANT TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED AS TUAN?
5. WHY CAN'T UMNO LEAD MALAYSIA FOR MALAYSIANS REGARDLESS OF COLORS OR RACIAL IDENTITY? ISN'T IT BETTER THIS WAY?
6. WHY CAN'T UMNO POLITICIANS SAY 'KETUANAN MALAYSIA' INSTEAD? IF WE NEED TO DOMINATE, LET'S GO FOR THE WORLD STAGE!
7. WHY CAN'T YOU USE YOUR INFLUENCE TO 'SELL' MALAYSIA WHERE YOU ARE STILL ABLE? LEE KUAN YEW AND GOH CHOK TONG HAVE BEEN DOING SO EVEN THOUGH THEY DON'T SEE EYE TO EYE IN MANY ISSUES PAST AND PRESENT.
8. WHY CAN'T YOU OFFER YOUR ADVICE OPENLY OR CRITICIZING CONSTRUCTIVELY?

During difficult times, we need a constructive and passionate leader to bring us up. Just look at what Premier Wen has gained in this difficult times in China? RESPECT. He has brought his heart to lend support and "save" his dying citizens in the earthquake disaster.

Tun Dr Mahathir, I pleaded with you to do what you are still capable of. Malaysia needed your pillar of strength as you needed her when your were unwell.

In our own backyard, we don't need to be Tuan nor Ketuanan Melayu but KETUANAN MALAYSIA BECAUSE WE ARE ALL PROUD TO BE MALAYSIANS. If we want to exert supremacy, conquer the world!!!

Tunku Abdul Rahman, we missed you!
