Reposting: By Mahathir Mohamad’s own admission (in The Malay Dilemma and elsewhere), the Malay seizure and occupation of Malaysia equals the white man’s invasion of America and Australia. As Anglo-Saxons later came to confer upon themselves the ultimate ruler and authority on those lands, so did the Malays on the peninsula, Sabah and Sarawak. White man even wrote that down for the Malays, in the English, into the constitution. The result? It’s below from a posting two years ago. No wonder the Umno Malay is so hated by close to everybody else but tolerated by the MCA Chinese because of Kongzi.
If Malay supremacy equals White supremacy isn’t perverse enough, Anglophiles, among both the DAP Chinese and Malays, the Bangsa types, hold up America and Australia as ‘democratic’ models to run Malaysia. But this was predictable: Malaysia was sired by the same Anglo-Saxons who seized Australia and America. White people even taught Malays how to write in the Roman alphabet. Thus, when PAS converts Kedah into Ayatollah rule, it becomes just dessert for the Anglophiles, the Tunku Aziz and Rahmans, Mahathir’s sons, Peter Petras, the Lim Family, the Hannahs, Thomases and so on.

Remember Omar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the 23-year-old man who boarded a flight in Amsterdam on Christmas Day with a bomb in his underpants? He may be Nigerian with Islamist connections in Malaysia but he was bred in … England.
Says Wole Soyinka (above), the Nigerian novelist and playwright (The Bacchae of Euripides): “England is a cesspit. England is the breeding ground of fundamentalist Muslims. Its social logic is to allow all religions to preach openly. But this is illogic, because none of the other religions preach apocalyptic violence. And yet England allows it.”
Why is Britain the way it is? asks Tunku Varadarajan of Soyinka. Answer: “This is part of the character of Great Britain. Colonialism bred an innate arrogance, but when you undertake that sort of imperial adventure, that arrogance gives way to a feeling of accommodativeness. You take pride in your openness.” And so it is, he says, that Britain lets everyone preach whatever they want: It confirms a self-image of greatness.
For a taste of this British accommodation and openness, consider its human rights regime. Another one coming up under that regime is the Equality Bill, which forbids discrimination by anyone or any organisation, that is, private entities, on grounds of say ethnicity and religion. It sounds uplifting and liberal, but it makes being human a crime because if one were to be running, say, a newspaper for PAS it would be perfectly natural to hire only those subscribing to its religious ethos no matter how beastly. The Equality Bill makes this discrimination criminal; in England it compels the Church to hire minorities, communists, gays, ulamas, the riff-raff. Says the commentator Tim Black:
At issue here is freedom of association. At the most personal, intimate level, this is a freedom we take for granted. It’s the freedom to choose one’s company, to choose who one associates with and who one doesn’t. … As (a) part…, this freedom to give shared beliefs or interests an organisational form, others, who do not share those beliefs or interests, will be excluded … discrimination goes hand-in-hand with freedom of association.”
If all this seems elementary – that, perversely, equality means to be indiscriminate; that being human, to love and to despise, is naturally discriminatory as an intrinsic quality – they are not to Britain, not anymore, because the Brits are no longer capable of even little individual judgements. All everyday human decisions are reduced to weighing between the legal and the illegal; human relations are surrendered to the Law, the State, which then decides who you may employ, to who you let your house, with who you sleep with, and so on. An Islamic state is its perfect mirror reflection. Such a state legislate human relations under the veneer of Islam, while secular Britain under the religiosity of liberalism. Yet, beneath both, they serve totalitarian fascism. (In this respect, what Anwar Ibrahim said about Lina Joy, that she must not be permitted to alone decide her religion on her IC, is revealing into the man’s fascism but hidden under a liberal veneer when Anwar stands talking in front of White people and by the facade of Islam in front of Malays.)
Now, if England is a cesspit, and the world’s greatest exporter of terrorists, what does that make of Malaysia? The sewage, the excrement for the sump? Possibly. After the Nigerians, Petra Kamarudin is said to have gone there. Here is a fetid, mosquito swamp overflowing with the surplus that must go somewhere; a country bursting in the seams with the narcissistic illiterates of the royal wanted list (Petra), the fascist (Ibrahim Ali), the Pendatang (Rusdi Mustapha), the elite racist (Mahathir Mohamad), the Bangsa Allah types (Haris Ibrahim), the Islam-or-nothing ustaz (Zulkifli Noordin), the Islam-For-All ulama (Hasan Ali), and of course, at the top of the pecking order, the new politics ayatollah and prophet (Anwar Ibrahim).
So, what is one to do with this very Islamic, motley crew of religious pinheads? How to save the country? Soyinka’s answer extended to Malaysia:
“I think this is where our rocket engineers and astronauts can come to our rescue. We should assemble all those who are pure and cannot abide other faiths, put them all in rockets, and fire them into space.”
Soyinka, however, doesn’t dwell on one other point: why do the Islamists, even if they don’t actively seek out Britain, invariably end up there or at its Anglo-Saxon cousins, Australia*, New Zealand, USA? Why do Malaysians, for example the self-anointed Islamic half white, half Indonesian brown Petra Kamarudin, harbour this desire to run away (as Eli Wong also did) and hide in a White man’s country every time the local authorities go after them? One answer is that Malaysia and these countries share a common heritage in an invasive legalist state, a certain political culture alluded to earlier. The other probable answer, although it is only an inferential one, comes from another novelist, Kazuo Ishiguro (above; The Remains of the Day, Nocturnes), who himself grew up and still lives in England. Says he:
“(T)here’s a very complicated relationship between Britain and its old colonies — India, the Caribbean, Nigeria, and so on. And the educated elite in those countries have been taught in very English schools. They’ve grown up aspiring to a certain English model of life…”
An English model of life? In another word, Anglophile. Other than Petra or Mahathir, consider as well the good Christian Thomas Lee, the Tian Chuas (Help! Police brutality. They took my lollipop, call CNN.), the Khoo Kay Kims (Either you let me copy the history of the Khoo clan or I’ll call my mother.), and the editors at Malaysiakini and The Star (cakap orang putih). Don’t they fit Ishiguro’s description neatly?
*Postscript: Australia
What took them so long? India’s Indians are discovering belatedly that Australia (among others) is the fruit of the White man’s land grab, historically cloaked in supremacist, condescending attitudes toward natives but today veiled by the facade of human rights and democracy. Of course, the white minions and their underlings in, for example, the Malaysiakini crowd, Manjit Bhatia (living off Australia), Steven Gan (Australian alumnus), et al, have next to nothing to say when Indians are persistently set up as targets by White mobs (1,447 crimes against Indians in 2007-08 in Victoria alone). Saying anything betrays their English model of life. However, with nothing to lose, Outlook India has just released a complete back-to-back cover job:
- The Dominant Australian Culture is a Racist Culture,
- Together in Fear and Trembling,
- Do You Speak Anglo-Saxon (Australian, in Outlook)?
Some relevant quotes:
No one messes with a Chinese because fellow nationals run to his aid. The Indian runs to the Press.
Travelling on a train sometime back, I was ashamed, as you could hear the choicest Punjabi abuses.
(The White government) tells them (Indians), you can come here but never to speak your language or pursue your culture the way you want. It’s a different banner under which you are kept.
There is a culture of racism that comes from our schools, our education system. The dominant culture in Australia is a racist culture.
