Jailani Harun – the Racist & His Ruse

Jailani Harun (above) says he is some hotshot journalist with lots of interview credentials, yada, yada, yada. He has reproduced an account of his personal experience, in which he quotes a Chinese school headmaster word-for-word and expects everybody to take it as verbatim, therefore true:

I wanted to enroll my 7-year old daughter at a Sekolah Rendah Jenis Kebangsaan (Cina) in Ampang. I went to see the headmaster but upon seeing that my daughter wore a ‘tudung’, he asked me to send her to a Sekolah Kebangsaan.

 

He said there is no place for a Malay student in a Chinese school, especially those with ‘tudung’,” he said, anguish and frustrated. (sic)

 

He also said that Chinese schools are supposed to be for Chinese only.”

Jailani says he is ‘checking on the allegation.’ Aside from throwing a threat – like he is some hotshot journalist turned Gestapo officer – the ‘checking’ would also mean he might want to follow up on and fix up the headmaster.

 

Before even ‘checking’, however, Jailani has some judgements to make (he is Malay, you see, and he has therefore the power and the right to do so). His judgements, in numbered order:

(i) “…the public general perception has always been stereotype – that whenever a non-Chinese pupil enrolls at any SRJK(C), his or her intention is to take up Mandarin and acquire Chinese knowledge. This is actually wrong, totally not right.

 

(ii) All Sekolah Kebangsaan, SRJK (Cina) and SRJK (Tamil) are government-aided schools. It belongs to the government, right

 

(iii) So, while all Sekolah Kebangsaan accepts non-Malay students, the Malays too deserve all rights to enroll at any SRJK(C) and SRJK(T), am I’m not right? These are all government schools.

By inference, therefore, Jailani is saying:

• 1. Chinese is not Malaysian.
• 2. Malaysia is Malay exclusive.
• 3. Chinese school is therefore Malay-owned.
• 4. Chinese schools must accept Malay.
• 5. Sekolah Kebangsaan are Malay schools.
• 6. Malay schools have accepted Chinese.
• 7. The government is Malay.
• 8. The Malay government must ‘monitor’ Chinese schools.
• 9. To monitor is to control, government has the right to control Chinese.
• 10. The Malay government has failed to control the Chinese.

Return to the cited paragraph (i). He says it is not right for the Chinese schools to teach Mandarin and to transmit “Chinese knowledge”.

 

So, if Jailani’s intent and motive isn’t to acquire Mandarin and ‘Chinese knowledge’ for his 7-year-old child, what is it? If he hadn’t intended his child to learn Mandarin in a Chinese school, why then did he go there? And that visit was made with his child, whose presence was completely unnecessary since he wanted merely to inquire. Why was he there, with tudung to show off? To demand from the government to turn Chinese schools into Malay since among its students are Malays?

 

All that suggests two things:

• a) Jailani’s intent and motive was neither honourable nor sincere to enroll the child. He knew beforehand the likely answer if his intent was not Mandarin, so that the whole thing was a ruse. That is, he had gone there not to enroll his daughter but to kick up a fuss. He was there to agitate, to cause trouble. In short, Jailani wasn’t just being deceitful for a political purpose, he had acted with malice and in bad faith.

• b) The headmaster, sensing all that, was therefore right to kick out Jailani. He just couldn’t buy Jailani’s story.

Of course, Jailani’s political deceit is helped by Jailani the hotshot journalist who makes up the story – the Chinese say, to add salt and vinegar – so as to cast a bad light on not just that Ampang school but all Chinese schools.

 

Yet Jailani has the gall with this pretence – I don’t want to call the headmaster ‘a racist’ for his attitude. Jailani is trying to imply he is a reasonable, sensible man; it is just the Chinese schools are racists. And the proof of this is the headmaster.

 

Jailani’s racism fits perfectly his own intent for showing up at the school.

 

He doesn’t regard Chinese (neither Mandarin nor ‘Chinese knowledge’) as Malaysian. Therefore the Chinese have no ‘right’ (his word) to teach in Chinese. To be Malaysian, they must become Malay – Satu Bangsa – and Sekolah Kebangsaan is a perfect vehicle for converting the Chinese. Better yet, Satu Sekolah.

 

All of which reaffirms one point the Ampang headmaster made, inferentially: the Chinese school has no place for the like of Jailani and his SS Malaiyoos. Like the Anglophile DAP Christians, they are cut from the same cloth – deceitful and a bunch of lying arseholes.

 

Like DAP/PKR Anglos mouthing equality ideology, Jailani wants equal opportunity in a Chinese school for the Chinese to prove they are not discriminatory. But there are thousands of Malay and Indian students to prove the point.

 

If, instead, one were to show that it’s the Malay government and it’s the MARA and Kebangsaan schools that have an apartheid and a fascist system in place, then Jailani shuffles in his feet and will stick out his forked tongue to say that teaching Malay exclusively is not racist. That’s being nationalist, he’d say.

 

So, clearly then, if Jailani’s intent was Malay knowledge or Arabic civilization for his daughter, he ought not have gone to the Chinese school but to look up a PAS schoolheadmaster.

 

Jailani shows the SS Malaiyoos don’t seriously have any respectful consideration for the Chinese, not even as country kinsmen – much less as equals. The Chinese exist to be used, to be controlled, to pay taxes, after which the government – the collector of taxes – is Malay exclusively.

 

Jailani Harun, don’t bother to check your allegation. Next time you want to make up a hoax, use your stupid Malaiyoo head. Or, try it on your Penang Satu Bangsa Christian cousin, that Caliph Lim. Meanwhile, here’s another Chinese affirmation into your application: We, the Chinese, cannot accept you nor your kurang ajar Malaiyoo types into our schools. Now, fuck off boy.

Jailani’s concoction in full, retitled

SRJK (C) is not for Jailani Malaiyoos

I wanted to enroll my 7-year old daughter at a Sekolah Rendah Jenis Kebangsaan (Cina) in Ampang. I went to see the headmaster but upon seeing that my daughter wore a ‘tudung’, he asked me to send her to a Sekolah Kebangsaan.

“He said there is no place for a Malay student in a Chinese school, especially those with ‘tudung’,” he said, anguish and frustrated.”He also said that Chinese schools are supposed to be for Chinese only.”I am checking on the allegation.

However, the public general perception has always been stereotype – that whenever a non-Chinese pupil enrolls at any SRJK(C), his or her intention is to take up Mandarin and acquire Chinese knowledge.

This is actually wrong, totally not right. All Sekolah Kebangsaan, SRJK (Cina) and SRJK (Tamil) are government-aided schools. It belongs to the government, right?So, while all Sekolah Kebangsaan accepts non-Malay students, the Malays too deserve all rights to enroll at any SRJK(C) and SRJK(T), am I’m not right? These are all government schools.

But why must there still be abrasive remarks about the system? I don’t want to call the headmaster ‘a racist’ for his attitude but it reflects more on the government’s hands-on policy on non-Sekolah Kebangsaan matters.

The Education Ministry, I believe, only ensures that the schools are under good management and with ample facilities but it fails to monitor the type of teachers being deployed. Whether its a Sekolah Kebangsaan, SRJK(C) or SRJK(T), the teachers, especially headmasters must be tuned to the fact that they are on the government’s payroll.

Most important is, the schools are open to all Malaysians, not for a single race.

And I am also of the opinion that the ‘Satu Sekolah Untuk Semua’ will be most practical to address such a situation.
