Tengku Faris: Non-Malays should not seek equality PDF Print E-mail

Andrew Ong

(Malaysiakini) Kelantan Crown Prince Tengku Faris Petra said today that Malays had been coerced into giving non-Malays citizenship and the latter should therefore not seek equality or special treatment.

He said this during his keynote speech at a forum titled “Malay unity is the core of national unity” organised by the newly formed Barisan Bertindak Perpaduan Melayu in Kuala Lumpur today.

Speaking to a crowd of about 1,000 people, Tengku Faris said the Malay rulers would be an umbrella to foster unity among all Malaysians, based on the Federal Constitution and the Rukun Negara.

“Therefore, the rakyat must unite and never raise issues regarding Malay rights and special privileges because it is a quid pro quo in gratitude for the giving in of citizenship (beri-paksa kerakyatan) to 2.7 million non-Malays into the Tanah Melayu federation.

“Thus, it is not appropriate for these other ethnic groups to have citizenship, only (later) to seek equality and privileges,” said Tengku Faris, who read from a 11-page prepared text.

However, the crown prince stressed that in an effort to unite the Malays, non-Malays also have rights that must be protected, such as in areas of religion.

As an example, Tengku Faris said non-Malays are allowed to practice their respective religions in peace. They must however do so in accordance with the law and “not be provocative towards Islam”.

“The Malay rulers are the head of the Islamic religion and Malaysia is a Islamic country (negara Islam), not secular. We have our own formula (as a country) which is different from others,” he added, drawing thunderous applause from the crowd.

‘Dominance’


He added that the effort to instil Malay unity and defend Malay special rights does not mean that other races would be ignored.

“In fact, if Malay rights and special privileges are taken care of and is not disturbed, it would ensure national harmony. It does not just benefit the Malays but all ethnic groups,” he said.

In his speech, Tengku Raris said the 12th General Election results have shown that the Malays are being “challenged” and thus Malays unity is of the outmost priority.

“The election results have shown that the Malays are disunited and facing other ethnic groups who are more dominant politically and economically,” he said.

As the constitution provides that the Malays are the natives (penduduk asal) of Malaysia, Tengku Faris said every Malay must defend the constitution and Islam and this can only be achieved through Malay unity.

“We have to make an effort to unite. Don’t spilt up. Avoid polemics that can distance us. Ideology (and) having different interpretations does not contribute to Malay unity.

“Discussing about polemics such as Islamic state, secular state, welfare state... confuses the people... Resulting from this confusion, Malays are becoming more disillusioned,” he added.

Dear Tengku
You have obviously been grossly misinformed or you are living in the 14th century . If thats the case , Penang , Malacca should return to the Straits Settlement . We gave up our British citizenship for your malaysian citizenship . If what you say is right that Malays have been coerced into giving non-malays citizenship then I proposed you tell that to the Malaysian Govt to allow Penang to rejoin back the British Empire . That also goes for Sarawak and Sabah . I also suggest you take up history lessons that Kelantan was once part of the Siamese empire and you can go back to them . Thank you .

It's ok, seems like he prefers the Bumis to be spoon fed forever. If that's the case, I'm actually more than happy at least those who believe so will forever be staying in a cave and waiting for the food to be sent to their mouth. He should actually see the fact that the modern Bumis do not really need any protection in order to compete with the non-Bumis in any field. His comment is actually belittling the Bumis and described them as though they can survive on their own, but need to depend on the non-Bumis. Come on, your Bumi race can do much better than that.... dont belittle them. smilies/tongue.gif

From a melayu centric pov, the prince is absolutely correct.

One of the flaws in such pov has been amply sounded out in former apartheid Africa.

Any reader should therefor ask the benefit of re doing an apartheid trial and error plicy in governing a country.

My first reaction is one of a shock - my ignorance of how such a prince thinks the world revolves around melayu centric, or how ignorant such a prince can be!

This kelantan prince needs someone to translate the constitution for him. How can you blame the rakyat for saying he is not intelligent and do not seem to understand the constitution. Clearly the constitution says we are a secular country but islam is the religion of the federation. If they talk too much, why allow alcohol and gambling if really Malaysia is an islamic state. Its because Malaysia cannot survive without the taxes paid by these 2 vices. What hypocrites.

This Tengku should know that long before the malay, the indian hindus and chinese were in Malaya. maybe the tengu should trace his family three, there will probably be lots of hindus and indians among his ancestors.

As chaptokam said, Kelantan was once part of the siamese empire. Maybe the tengku would like to trace his family three back to siam.

Seems that the only royalty that seem to be really intelligent and non a racist is Tengku Nazrin. At least he is one person all the rakyat has respect for.

As posted by Wisdom, our Federal Constitution clearly states that, Islam is the religion of the Federation & it does not mean that we are an Islamic country!

As such, when the Crown Prince says that, Malaysia is an Islamic country, either our Federal Constitution is wrong or the Crown prince is lying.

Dumb prince makes dumb statement and calling himself a prince , must be the dumb kids on the block . Just to enlightened the history of Kelantan ;

Under the terms of the Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909, the Thais surrendered its claims over Kelantan, Terengganu, Kedah and Perlis to Great Britain, and Kelantan thus became one of the Unfederated Malay States with a British adviser.

Kelantan was the first place in Malaya to be occupied by the Japanese, who invaded on December 8, 1941. During the Japanese occupation, Kelantan came again under control of Siam, but after the defeat of Japan in August 1945, Kelantan reverted to British rule.

Kelantan became part of the Federation of Malaya on February 1, 1948 and together with other states attained independence on August 31, 1957. On September 16, 1963, Kelantan became one of the component states of Malaysia.

The Non Malays and the Malays should thus have equal status in Kelantan and in Malaysia by virtue of the fact that Kelantan was also under British at some time . If you think you want to pull wool over our eyes I think you have been USED by the Barisan Bertindak Perpaduan Melayu , that all from me .

“The Malay rulers are the head of the Islamic religion and Malaysia is a Islamic country (negara Islam), not secular. We have our own formula (as a country) which is different from others,” What is the formula can anyone explain? Looking into the constitution, I can only gather that Malaysia is a secular country rather than an Islamic country. Someone should explain the formula.

“Thus, it is not appropriate for these other ethnic groups to have citizenship, only (later) to seek equality and privileges,”
Can anyone explain the status of the non-malays in the country? How do you explain to those whose grandfather, father, and himself were all born in Malaysia and never have set foot in the land they so called came from?
Why don't they openly say that they don't want non-malays to be in the country?
Atleast Idi Amin was not a hypocrate by packing the Asians out of Uganda.
Well, the non-malays have to take care of the Malays. Most of the Malays are openly admiting they are inadequate and uncapable rise up on their own effort. Well, it is no harm helping the weak. Non-Malays should help our incapable Malay friends. But my Malay friends are surely capable and they don't need anyone's help.

tengku faris,
your comment has landed a punch in my face as a young chinese malaysian

it is truly heart-breaking...

after the elections, i had dreams of coming home to malaysia, to serve the people of my country... in the past month i couldn't contain my excitement, i have spoken so proudly of my country, to my colleagues from all around the world.

but i guess reality truly bites, there is no country to return to,
it's akin a case of unrequited love,
because i am only a 2nd class citizen...

do i have a choice? can i reverse history?
my family has been in malaysia for generations...
what do i do in china? i can't read a single word of chinese!

but it's okay tengku faris...
i am young, blessed with an IQ of 180, with stacks of qualifications behind my name,
i will dry my tears, there is no point crying anymore,
if that's what my fellow malay countrymen think, that i should be forever second to them, i guess it's time to move on...
do you know how much it hurts to read your words?
i am not your charity, my dignity is my right

i will bring my talent, my passion, my intelligence, my taxes, my love to the many other countries in the world who will have me,
where life is really much more comfortable, when equality is my right as a citizen, where i will truly be valued and loved...

goodbye malaysia

With due respect to the Prince, he is now wading into the quagmire of political quicksand. He may be unwittingly reading a text written by some UMNOputras.

Just like many from the Straits Settlements of Penang, Melaka and even Lumut, we were all borned British subjects. We exchanged British citizenship for Malaysian citizenship without my consent.

Let's hope the Kelantan Crown Prince is in newspapers jargon "misquoted". Otherwise, he need to get a crash course on Malaysian Constitution 101.

Tengku, with due respect to you. Chinese or for that matter, non malays have never been equal in Malaysia since 50 years ago. Never, we have never been equal but instead have been trampled upon, we have been unfairly discriminated even though we have not done too badly.

It is very painful when the country is rich and could have been a lot better whereby all malaysian would have been a lot better if only UMNO had followed the good spelt out in Islam but instead UMNO had actually screw Islam, brought disrepute to Islam while championing Islam at the same time.

In the eye of Islam, should UMNO be damned. UKNO is corrupt to the core and why the cry to save UMNO by the very same crook who is the main cause of the problems that we ahve today.

Not just the nin malays have been discriminated but Malays as well. That is UMNO.

Dear Tengku Faris,

Ampun Tuanku. You are mistaken that the non-Malays are challeging Article 153 of the Constitution. We are not. After all, the so-called "special rights" are not really that special... they pertain to language (you can have it), religion (you can have that), the Monarchy (you keep it), and certain quotas for business and education.

What we are against is the abuse of such priviledges. Such as the NEP. The NEP is not a special right, but a government policy that has gone on for far too long. Remember, the Constitution only grants the special rights as long as they do not infringe on the rights of others. Meaning, your rights end where mine begin.

Also, you have put additional wording into the Constitution. You say we have the absolute right to worship as we please, "but just so long we don't provoke Islam". The provocation part is not in the Constitution. We are allowed our religion in peace, just like anyone else. Who would want to provoke Islam, since it is the official religion of the country? It seems that most of the provocations are from some bigots who profess to be Muslims, but are just chauvinists and racists. Which you sound like one of them.

You also forget that we all agreed to a gentlemen's agreement that the special priviledges (which are not rights) were to be reviewed 15 years after Merdeka. It is now 50 years after Merdeka, and the crutches are still there. Otherwise, why bother giving up being British subjects?

Actually, much of the special priviledges as enshrined in the Constitution are peanuts. It is the abuse of such priviledges like Ketuanan Melayu and the NEP for the benefit of the elite that has made the priviledges seem evil. And, you are perpetuating that evil. After all, the NEP has not benefited the majority of Malays and the other Bumiputeras of East Malaysia.

Racist Pig(Babi) Prince.

First of all, there's no such thing as a/the "Malay" race.

And the Indians were the ones who used the term 'Malai" for this peninsula, and its people living here.... maybe some 1500 yrs ago.

Then of course, various other Indian terms, like Raja, Sultan, Bumi-putra, Perdana Menteri, etc. ....

So if 'Raja' is of Indian origin, then 'kerajaan' also must be Indian, the actual 'Bumi PUTRAs and RAJAs', the Indians.
And don't forget, it's the Indians, the ones more responsible of spreading Islam here... while you damn Melayus just love to give so much credit to the Arabs.

Then another fact. It's the British who actually "institutionalised" such a thing a the "Malay Race", "the Malay Peninsula", "the Malay Archipelago", etc.

So!!!!!
There's no such/actual thing as the "Malay" race - lah, BODOH!

Even that socalled 'Ultra-Malay" M-a-h-a-t-h-i-r --- has an Indian (and Hinduish) name!!

So without the British, there won't be such a thing as, The Malay Peninsula, Malaysia, -
and thus -- no Malay Race -- too lah - you stupid dumb prince.

And --- this Ketuanan Melayu crap should be only in the Peninsula, OK?
Sabah and Sarawak are not part of the Tanah Melayu, and they are not 2nd or 3rd Class citizens, OK?

Sabah and Sarawak folks are "as if" in status as Brunei or Singapore, an independant nation..... and Sabah, Sarawak joined the Federation to be treated as equals... and not the bloody Melayus enrich themselves by riping off the natural resources of East M'sia!!
Without Sabah and Sarawak, could we(ie Malaysia) be quite rich as it's now??

Stop this Ketuanan Melayu crap, when it's all about Islam's treating nonMuslims as Dhimmis (ie slave status) --
and all about other races having to toil and sweat while Malays (in the eyes of most nonMalays) are just free-loaders!

The NEP is about the nonMalay-Muslims, esp. the Chinese helping the Malays forward - which in practise is the Malays are stealing from the Chinese to enrich themselves!!!

POINT: AT SOMEBODY ELSE'S EXPENSE (ie RIGHTS/DUES)!... whether they be Chinese, Indians, or East Malaysians!!

Is this Ketuanan Melayu all about..... the "I Master, You Slave" thing?

How wonderful if nonMuslim countries too treat the Muslims as their slaves or 3rd class citizens!!!

Let us not be like Dr. M who have a penchant for SELECTIVE MEMORY and SELECIVE TREATMENT.

At least His Highness is not going about it by waving a keris like KERISMUDIN and later going behind our backs plundering PETRONAS for a shopping trip to Paris like the MONGOLIAN YAK.

Tengku Faris IS NOT AN UMNOist.

And while we may disagree on his statement, let us be more polite and respectful. Remember, a member of the Royalty is the one who is permitting us to post all sort of nonsense on MT for free.

Even if it's true that the British coerced the Malays, what has that got to do with those Indians & Chinese M'sian citizens of today, most of whom were born in M'sia. Are you suggesting another holocaust, but with this time the victims being the non-Malays?

i feel very sad with statement made by the prince. although i'm a malay, it is hard to digest that there're still people out there wanted to be segregated by races. What a pity.

To Malay/Muslim:
- islam tidak pernah mengajar penganutnya berpegang kepada unsur perkauman. malah, terdapat larangan yang sangat keras terhadap perasaan ashabiah (berpuak-puak).
- sebagai manusia dimuka bumi ini, sudah tentu kita tertakluk kepada peraturan Ilahi tetapi peraturan tersebut tidak pernah menyuruh kita membeza-bezakan warna kulit, bangsa, dan keturunan.
- tidak salah kita berasa bangga dengan kaum, keturunan, dan budaya tetapi ianya mestilah berlandaskan kepada perinsip keadilan dan kesaksamaan. tetapi ingatlah bahawa adil tidak semestinya samarata
- sebagai muslim kita percaya bahawa Allah swt pasti akan membantu orang-orang yang taat kepadaNya. malangnya, keadaan hari ini meletakkan muslim di lembah penghinaan. orang-orang bukan islam melihat islam dengan penuh kebencian. adakah islam yang salah atau orang-orang islam tidak mengamalkan islam dengan betul dan ini menyebabkan nusrah dan bantuan Allah swt terhenti. adalah tidak mungkin Allah swt menghina hambaNya jika hambaNya taat dalam erti kata yang sebenarnya.
- dunia yang kita hidup ini bukanlah matlamat kita. hanya tempat persinggahan yang sementara. islam mengajar bahawa apabila kita hadapkan tumpuan kita kepada akhirat, dunia ini akan datang kepada kita dengan penuh rasa hina. sebaliknya, jika kita halakan tumpuan kepada dunia, kerugian akan datang kepada kita di kedua2 alam

To Chinese,
- as a malay, of course there's feeling of jealousy especially when we see the gap between us. look at our houses, cars, etc. of course, you reap what you saw. why it is never heard that chinese community helping other races in business world?
- while you talk about equality in this country, can you look a while what's happening in business environment? why in many chinese companies, the racial issue is never ending story? it is not fair that you blame the racist malay but forget your own.
- many blamed corrupt government officers (mostly malay) but many neglected who are the corrupt payer. we know, no demand-no supply, why blame only one side? who the first? is the receiver or the payer? i always get road summon because i never gave any hint to give rasuah when I did wrong
- because of that, malays get worried if the government not willing to protect their interest.

To Indian,
- by percentage, indians are minority thus minority is always tend to be neglected. look at the whole world.
- compare to chinese, indians are more sensitive with their religion. we always believed that chinese are only looking for money. they do not really care about their religion. not malay(muslim) and indian(hindus). the two are very much related to religion. then we need to have more understanding between each other. speaker from mosques and bell ring from temples are always an issue.
- when we see hindus build temples as where they like, then it is not good for relationship. in many places we can see few temples were built very near to each other. everytime when local authority wanted to demolish these no-permit temples, then great anger will take place
- lastly, i pity indians the most. they got nothing. they do not have government to protect and they do not have strong business community to support their living

there are many issues need to be sorted out. at the moment, malays received the most blamed. i hope all of us do not forget to see our own self. we always think we're right but in actual situation, it is not always like that.

Woooit Faris!
Are sure you are a prince.. you are dumb and don't look like one! Making stupid statements like that, offending your 'Rakyat'! Creating a fool out of the royalties, I hope your parent will punish you for that! I suggest to remove your 'Tengkuship'!

Mind you, we are the 3rd generation born in Malaysia and it is 'Tanah Tumpahnya Darah Ku (kita)'. We spoke very good Bahasa Malaysia, infact I scored A1 in all my school examinations SRP, SPM, STPM, even lebih melayu dari melayu! We love our country and we die for our country and we are born Malaysian not immigrants!!!!! You humilated us and raised 'racial' sentiments.

Wooit Tengku, do you know what is respect? You have to earn it-lah, and looks like you are screwing up your own image already.

By the way, this planet 'Earth' belongs to everyone and if you read your history well (since you wanna be in 14th century's mentality)...Kelantan belongs to 'SIAM' and only incoporated in Malaya after the 1909 treaty. You know kah? smilies/angry.gif

"Ampun tuanku. Sembah patik harap diampun. Izinkan patik menyampaikan berita kepada tuanku bahawa Rakyat Malaysia berbangsa Tiong Hua amat marah dengan kenyataan tuanku. Mereka dengan sebulat suara berpendapat bahawa kenyataan Tuanku amat tidak bertimbang rasa dan menghina kaum, bangsa dan negara. Oleh yand demekian, mereka dengan sebulat suara juga berpendapat bahawa Tuanku harus menarik balik kenyataan tersebut dan meminta maaf kepada rakyat jelata!"

Haahh..nampak tu. Hang ingat kito ni ape? Kewarganegaraan ni hak kito, memang our right bilo kito dilahirkan disini. Hak keseimbangan tu hak semua orang memang hak rakyat Malaysia, tak kiro bangsa dan suku kaum. Paham!

Is he suggesting that the govt treat all non malays citizen as second class citizen with no any rights ?. What happen to any people born in Malaysia. All these people also subject to second class citizen? No human rights, no voting rights and nothing at all. We are all living in the 21 century now not in early forties. Wake up !!.

I knew it wasn’t going to last and I am glad that I still have my pride and dignity intact! Unlike some folks, who will say anything, even disowning their race just to be part of the herd? Don’t you folks get tired of being called non-Malays?? To me it is a racist remark. I am a Chinese, a person, an individual with my own brains and fully capable of making my own decisions.

Why do the Malays get that special right and privilege to be called Malays and the rest of us become insignificant nobodies, known as non-Malays. Does that mean as a Chinese, my race, my roots and my history do not exist anymore in this country? I am a Chinese through and through and I am proud to be called and known as Chinese. And the rest of you, would you like to be known as non-Chinese? …. does it make you happy and proud to be known as non-Chinese? …. So stop trying to brain wash us into becoming a one race of nobodies. It be will be great if we can live harmoniously together but don’t expect me to give up my dignity by erasing my ethnicity, which is Chinese, Chinese, Chinese.

Malay unity is PAS and UMNO come together and be as one, with similar aspirations to maintain Malay supremacy in all things whether one is boleh or not is a different matter. No polemics here at all.

The Royalty, through the constitution is the safe keeper of Islam, agreed and very well. Do they control the policy of those groups whose actions so far had been deemed not too righteous and in line with Islamic teachings. If you are, then you've lost control even as to the points you just made.

Citizenship. Do you mean to say there are many types of citizenships here in Bolehland ? Are you then condoning or is practising apartheid ?

Barisan Bertindak Perpaduan Melayu should unite the Malays without using religion and rights issues. unite them by EDUCATING them. ensure all those poor kampung children (yes.. still poor and living in huts after 50 years of BN) get the right education to prepare them for 21st century.

Dear eisham,
I wish to get some of my view and share with you all,
I agreed that what you had mentioned above but ....partial.
If every one is given the fair policy, Chinese businessman will give or offer? If Malay is being right educated and train to be independence, will there still need the spoon feeding until today even the NEP is being started since Razak period? Does Indian need to be like existing situations where every time the need to cry for something? Do you think that they need the crony "Ali-Baba" culture if the country is fair politicizes our citizen right? Please look at other country like Singapore, they are rich but do you think that they are paid good "unseen" offer to the government officer? Look at Malay in Singapore...there are straggling to strike the best as others...
If look at past history, it's like chicken and egg talk.
My advice is, we are facing global, so think future and act global. It's useless to be Juara Kampung as mentioned earlier. As the money is came from FDI and not from our King...please remember. And who will benefit if our country get rich and stable.....you mostly will know the answer.

Dear eisham,

Mostly agree with what you have to say. You do need some clarification on three things, though.

Yes, we Chinese are not really helpful when it comes to teaching others our business acumen. However, you assume we know "secrets" that only we can teach. That is wrong, as everything we know, the rest of the business world knows just as well. It all boils down to having goals, a workable strategy to achieve those goals, hard work, thrift, and the ability to pick oneself up from the many roadblocks and failures that will naturally occur in any business.

Malays don't need to learn anything from us, other than to have the courage to take the opportunities as they come (no matter how small), and the courage to face failure and rejection at every turn. And, courage is nothing more than the rejection of fear.

On Chinese businesses only hiring Chinese employees... this I agree has to do with our myopic (and usually wrong) perception that Malays are laid back (read: lazy). This perception is further enhanced by the perpetual crutches given by the government and the low quality of employable Malays. When I say low quality, I do not mean in terms of character, but marketable assets. Most are only fluent in a single language, while Chinese companies require us to be fluent in at least four (English, Malay, Mandarin, and another Chinese dialect). No offense meant, but this not the fault of the Malays, but the fault of the education system.

On bribery, I like you, pay my summonses. Most of the time when I asked to be summoned, the police will usually let me go with only a warning. Perhaps the police were not meant to be there, and giving out a summons would be risking a reprimand from their higher ups.

Business bribery, on the hand, although loathful, is a necessary evil that we partake in. Unlike a traffic summons, where we have broken the law and deserved to be summoned, businesses have done no wrong. However, we are hindered by all manner of "fantasy" red tape, which if we adhered to, we would be out of business. How to get around such red tape, other than to grease the hands that hold the keys to the gate?

Heck, if we were as efficient as Singapore, we'd be really happy. After all, who is ever happy in paying bribery? Only the receiver is happy. If the gamen departments were as efficient as those in Kelantan, we won't need to pay bribery.

By the way, have you had to get approval in Kelantan? It is a paradise compared to other parts of Malaysia. The PAS government will tell you up front whether can or cannot. If cannot, bribery also doesn't work. If can, they will tell you the timetable for such approval (which is usually very reasonable). Now, that's the way how things are supposed to work.

This is Malaysia at the crossroad. Royalty is one of the instituition of the Malays that I would respect just because of its name and that should be the case. That would be the ultimate respect show by non-Malay to Malaysian as Malaysian and we expect rulers to protect and strengthen us rakyat as well.

On the other hand how do you response to this immature comments. Equality must be provided by the goverment to all their citizens without looking at their race, creed or religion period. If Malay is mature as Malaysian they should advice these potentially division comments by our Rulers that they must provide leadership, protection and strength for all Malaysian and not only Malays.

Dissapointing to the bone concerning the comments and make me wish all my family members move out of this country now. But, than again I hope Malay is mature enough to take this comment with a grain of salt and not follow blindly on comments like this.

we will work closely with the royalty to protect the malay rights while at the same time taking in to consideration the rights of other races and religions.

(1) you should have more capable & intelligent advisors to advise you on the Malaysian Constitution with regards Malaysia being an "Islamic State".
(2) Many states that formed Malaysia, namely Sarawak, Sabah, Malacca & Penang formerly belonged to Great Britain. Therefore, these people were already British citizens when Malaysia gained independence in 1957. It is like a transfer of citizenship.
(3)Even African slaves taken back to America to work the cotton-fields were ultimately given American citizenship. Who knows one of them with Afro-ancestry may even become an American president.
(4)Non-Malays in this country are NOT seeking "special treatment". But being legal citizens, shouldn't they be given "fair treatment"?

Dear friends,

It is my considered opinion that Kelantanese are migrants from Pattani, Thailand. Upon defeat by Bangkok, some moved south. They are pendatangs.

Before that they emigrated to Pattani from Cambodia. They are Cambodians.

The British have no treatises with the Unfederated Malay States. These 4 malay states were exchanged with Thailand in 1909. They were vassal states.

In the run up to independence the UFMS were brought into the Federation along with the FMS and the Straits Settlements. Three 'nations' were brought together to form Malaya.

Then Sabah and Sarawak were brought in to form Malaysia. Malaysia today is therefore made up of '5 nations', and not 3 as erroneously presumed.

It was the consensus of the chinese and indians that led to the independence of Malaysia. That was the precondition, the rest details.

The non malays had no dealings with the malays. All dealings were with the British.

For the most part, most of malayan states were vassals of imperialists, except for a short brief from 1409-1511. Even then for a time being a vassal of China or Thailand. Thus there was never a ketuanan of any sort. It is a modern fallacious theory.

This is my opinion based on reputed historians. The prince has been ill advised by his historians and constitutional experts. It could be part of a conspiracy to raise racialism which we have been forwarned about. Please ignore it.

You will be the last dying breed of monarch to exist with the rest of the Sultanates. Fight among yourselves and remain in the little territory you belong since sharing power for one country comes only once in 5 years. Like your brothers in UMNO living envious of each other to become another island of their own.

Learn from your neighboring counterpart the King and people of Thailand.

The King of Thailand upon his demise would hand over his duties not to his STD infected Prince but the Princess for the position as President. The Princess is very much respected for her social duties and charitable work to be privileged to be the newly created President post as the monarch is now obsolete once the King perishes.

The King of Thailand is much loved and respected for his non involvement with politics and has peacefully united all Thai citizens formerly immigrants of Burma, India, China, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Northern Malaysian States and now the Whites (Farangs). Every Thai national proudly respects & wear the National Yellow color and Thai emblem pledging support for their King.

What about non-Malay who were born in Malaysia and Malaysian who are 2rd, 3rd and 4th generations? Do you consider them legalized citizens likening to their ancestors who came to Malaysia prior to its independent?

If the constitution holds true then non-Malay citizens will forever barred from seeking equality and making Malay the dominant race in the country and how well this can make Malaysia truly a ONE nation?

So long Malaysia continues to have these loose canons, it never able to achieve the ONE nation status and forever people are divided. When their positions are threatened, they must use racial issue to enhance their positions.

OK, 1st of all, I'm going to openly state that I'm a Kelantanese and a Malay. I was watching Buletin Utama just now when they show the snippet of Tengku faris making the speech. To be honest, I felt sick in the stomach on how a prince (from Kelantan some more) can read such a speech (yes he was reading it guys, written by someone else...words by words). I always think that the whole 'gabungan-for-melayu' or whatever crap they called it would do much damage than good to the country knowing that most people who gonna make much noise in it will be the usual UMNO bunch. They should just call themselves UMNO!! I was a bit surprised how a crown prince can get caught up in the middle of all these nonsense.

However, for all the readers who posted the comment here, please stop the whole Kelantanese-can-go-back-to-Siam' and other Malay taunting. It too is uncalled for as the prince speech. Do not think that all Kelantanese (and Malay) agree with him.We are all Malaysian despite what those bunch said! Nothing will change that. This is part of the strategy to get the non malay upset. Remember what RPK cautioned us before? It was only a day after RPK warned us about all these...it was made after the whole MCA saying Chinese being cheated. Now it's UMNO turn to put fuel on the Malay!! Wake up guys, I know everyone is upset but DO NOT fall into their trap! DO NOT give them excuse to start something worse. Please, I'm begging all of the Malaysian to see what they're really trying to do!

Tengku Razaleigh is the uncle of Sultan Kelantan, so I'm not suprised this is part of elaborate plot by UMNO to turn the heat up on Malaysian who are just beginning to break down the race barrier! trust me, Tengku Faris does not know what he is saying, he just read it out of pages being given to him. Maybe it's a case of trying to do a' Raja Nazrin' (which I'm so proud of now that I'm living in Perak), maybe it's a case of naivety, but whatever it is, there's only 1000 people there. Do you guys know what that mean? Meaning it doesn't hold any weight to the current RAKYAT opinion.

I'm stressing again, do not fall into their trap...DO NOT get into the name calling of the Royalty. It's what they really want. Again, remember what YM RPK cautioned us. Do not give this hard fought victory away!

Tengku Faris,

U are going to be the Agung of Malaysia one day so don't say STUPID things like non-Malays should not seek equality.

I am a Malaysian first and foremost and will judge my fellow Malaysians on their own merit, and expect to be judged the same.

If you believe non-Malays should consider themselves second best to a Malay just because u/Umno/and other Malays supremacists say so, u should lift your head out of the toilet bowl right now.

Behave like a prince for all Malaysian or consider yourself a mere despot for the Malays only.

hiryu,

First, welcome to Perak. :-)

And thank you for posting. I am 100% in agreement with you. I am a strong supporter of the institution of the monarchy not because I believe the Sultan can save us but because I believe he has a strong role to play in the 'check and balance' of the government. There are good Sultans and there are bad Sultans. We in Perak still remember Sultan Idris whom you may not know of since you are new but ask any Perakian to tell you about him.

Institutions can be better or worse. Institutions can be manipulated. In itself the monarchy has a lot of potential for good, but...

'The right state of human affairs, the moral well-being of the world can never be guaranteed simply through structures alone, however good they are. Such structures are not only important, but necessary; yet they cannot and must not marginalize human freedom. Even the best structures function only when the community is animated by convictions capable of motivating people to assent freely to the social order. Freedom requires conviction; conviction does not exist on its own, but must always be gained anew by the community.' (From In Spe Salvi, 'In Hope We are Saved', encyclical letter of pope Benedict XVI.)

Since you are a Kelantanese, perhaps you could consider writing to your Sultan or your state government and expressing your views? (See contact info which I pasted above in a previous post.)

Heyyyy, and how about us BORNEO natives?

Dontwe have the right to demand equal status? Going by the NEP argument, we borneo natives, justlike the orang asli in semenanjung should have higher previleges than the Malays...

Malays like Khir Toyo was born in INDONesia, so I should have the right to tell him to go back to indon instead of having the same previleges as me.
Unfortunately, we the borneo natives are the UNDERCLASS as Lim Kit Siang correcktly pointed out in parliament.

And if this Stupid prince tell me to go home, GO home where? I cannot go back to china becos i am not a chinese, I cannot go back to India becos I am not an indian, and I cannot go back to Indonesia becos I am not an indon.

Me, born true son of borneon soil, and so were my great great great great grandparents... AND I SHOULD BE THE ONE telling this stupid prince to go home to indonesia, becos most of the Sultans originally comes from Sumatra.

Now if this prince refuses to apologise on this remarks, then I should start a campaign to have him ABDICATE his princeship or further thrash the political party that he supports in the next election.

What Hiryu says makes sense. UMNO is desperate to divide Malaysians and we must be careful not to fall into their trap.

Also beware the Cybertroopers who may be posting highly inflammatory comments.

Also take a look at what one Malay blogger wrote here http://aisehman.org/:

"As a Malay, I apologise to all non-Malays that there are among my fellow Malays who hold such views.

It is disgusting, even if these people have a right to their opinions and a right to express them.

But don’t worry. Come the next elections, we shall make sure that those who hold similar views will not even come close to forming the federal government.

That’s the only lesson they can understand."

It’s a shame to your own kind, if you can be so easily persuaded to become something that is not ingrained in your family’s genes.

Faris Bigot,

Just because you are born a prince does not necessarily make you a very intelligent person. You are already creating an image for yourself as a BIGOT royalty. It reflects badly on other royal family members who behaves and acts for ALL citizens of Malaysia. For example, HRH Raja Nazrin who is highly intelligent and is highly regarded. He is one example you should follow as he is highly respected by all Malaysians.

You, I am not so sure...

FYI, I did not ask to be born in Malaysia. I did not ask to be born a non- Malay. So, as a 3rd generation Malaysian, is that being treated as equal too much to ask? What have I done wrong to deserved to be categorised as the "non-previlege" package? Aren't you a Malaysian like I am?? Isn't your blood red like mine? Don't you have 2 eyes, 2 ears a nose and a mouth like I do? Don't we breathe the same air? Don't our shit smell? So, why????

Anyway, looking at how you behave, as far as we Malaysians are concern, you do not deserve our respect....!

Malaysia's last bachelor crown prince married a Thai science graduate in a traditional Muslim ceremony witnessed by royal dignitaries from both countries and dubbed a fairytale wedding by the local media.

Tengku Muhammad Faris Petra Sultan Ismail Petra, 35, who is next in line to be the sultan of northeastern Kelantan state, wedded Kangsadal Pipitpakdee, 23, at Kelantan's royal palace late Monday in glittering rites known as "akad nikah," or the solemnizing of marriage.

The prince recited a sacred oath of marriage in front of a senior cleric and then exchanged rings with Kangsadal, who is the daughter of Viroj Pinitpakdee, a former member of Parliament from the southern Thai province of Pattani."

Responding to the above points,I'd like to say:

1.The Sultan of Selangor among the royalty also has my respect and of other Malaysians for declaring his intention to protect the religious freedom of all his subjects. So too the honourable and distinguished Sultan Abu Bakar of Johor.These are the kind of rulers that the rakyat desire,those who protect the welfare and well being of ALL their subjects.They were/are true statesmen.

2. THe so-called jealously guarded secrets of the chinese's success:essentially HARD WORK and THRIFT,as already pointed out.Also,it helps that you plough back your first profits into the business instead of buying flashy cars and expensive houses/trappings. Priotise paying up your debtors so they'll continue to supply you so you can continue to buy and sell.

3.I personally know Chinese who do not offer bribes ,so not all do,as alluded to by eisham. The policeman usually lets them off when they politely ask him for a compound for their offence.

4.Most of all, can the rallying cry for Malay unity please,please,please stop giving other Malaysians honourable mention as enemies? There must be more creative and less tired ways than that which we have already seen too often from Umno.

The mother from wife family tree.

PATTANI: The marriage of Kangsadal Pipitpakdee and Kelantan prince Tengku Muhammad Faris Petra Sultan Ismail Petra will be another union of the Yamu and Kelantan royal families.

The earlier union came about when Kangsadal’s uncle, Tengku Abdul Hamid Tengku Muda, who is of Yamu royal descent, married Tengku Azizah from the Kelantan royalty.

One of the couple’s children is the present Raja Perempuan Kelantan, Tengku Anis, the mother of 35-year-old Tengku Muhammad Faris Petra.

faris my future sultan of kelantan or perhaps agung one day ( i should never wait for that day to happen)...

you've just proven my point. not all royalty deserves to be treated as a royalty, and not all royalty are smart, certainly not all, deserve respect to be addressed "daulat tuanku"...and i have nothing to be "ampun" about. thank you. im very glad.

your statement has jus made me regreted that i have declined a very good offer to beijing. i had been receiving offers, good offers from overseas few times a year and i decline mostly cos i want to keep my foot in my country. and i love my country. and i for one, agree that we should prevent the brain drain situation...but looks like i've chosen the wrong side, to be a malaysian.

i always tell my friends jokingly, that i made 3 mistakes when i was born:
1. born as malaysian
2. born as commoner & with silver spoon
3. born as chinese (cos not malay)

i guess, these 3 mistakes is now proven with your statement.

it's time to move on. i dont think this country needs me anymore.

btw, i started my own company with zero cash, zero supports, and now has reached couple of million revenues....note: without loans & bribery involved.

so if i could make it, why cant my malay fellows able to make it? i find it strange. it's not about lending hands, it's all about landing your minds.

after 50yrs of independence and we're still talking about which race is more superior than the other. it's saddening & heart breaking indeed.

btw, there's no actual malay race accordingly to anthropology. it's a sub-race derived from mixed of chinese, philippinoes, indians, thais... do some study pls. since you're provided the revenues from the people, that include malay, chinse, indians, sabahans & sarawakians....

The Mandate of Heaven
--Palden Jenkins


The legitimacy of leaderships and power-structures must increasingly be earned, not assumed.

The people's skill in asserting their leadership, in making intelligent choices and supporting and restraining leaders, is becoming critical.

Forgiveness of the past is crucial. Forgiveness means holding responsible people accountable, while releasing ill-feeling and blame since, ultimately, everyone is responsible.

The big issues of our day require great public attentiveness, clear consideration and soundness of judgement. Without these, the public sacrifices its power.

People-power is driven from below, but it too must be earned: legitimacy and the 'mandate of heaven' applies to the public as well as to its leaders, in the ruthlessly impartial view of the collective unconscious.

Without legitimacy, the corrective magic of change and reform cannot come about.

Malaysia was never Malaysia, until the British came. They were bugis, siamese and natives. They were never Malays until the British starts to categorise them as Malay. Malay was a definition by the British and not the Malays themselve.

Before anyone get overly emotional, look at the timing and frequency of these type of remarks. As much as it is to instigate the Malays, it is also, if not more so, to instigate the non-Malays.

Try they may to start a spark, let's be rational and remain cool and douse the spark before it can start a fire.

The people of Malaysia have spoken and have placed the OPPOSITION in the five of the most wealthiest and powerful states in Malaysia. Imagine the POSSIBILITIES that the people of Malaysia have wisely authoured with this new balance of power in the recent elections.

So let our elected representatives in the form of the opposition work for us and let's stop getting overly emotional over each and every remark made for the purpose of instigation.

I am disappointed with the speech because it hints that non-Malays owe something to the Malays and should accept being treated as lesser citizens of Malaysia. However I will not call anyone names here.

This quid pro quo business on citizenship is a practical solution. It's not one which was merely forced onto the Malays to allow non-Malays citizenship. Even then Malay leaders know of the practical benefit of giving citizenship to non-Malays but still need a face saving move to give the Malays what appear to be a face saving gesture of apparent superiority such as the special rights which never existed before. There was a large population of non-Malays and what do you expect the then British government to do with them? Haul them all to England? Most of them wanted to live on in Malaya. Send them back to China or India? China or India didn't want them back. Let them hang around in Malaya without citizenship status? Will cause problems to the economic and social setup and risk violence. So offer them citizenship.

Why did the non-Malays fight for citizenship then? Because they want to be treated equally in Malaya. They want to vote and decide the direction of their government. To ask non-Malays now to accept inequality based on race is an insult to the forefathers who fought for independence alongside Tunku. Remember not all non-Malays were receptive of the citizenship offer (initial sentiments were lukewarm to the offer) and many did not take it up.

I have no qualms with Bahasa Malaysia as national language and Islam as national religion. What I am rather unclear about is what are these special rights as envisaged by the forefathers who fought for independence for Malaya? There were no NEP and Bumiputera then. You think the non-Malays back then would agree to join forces to fight for independence if they knew that their descendents would be told that they would be treated lesser than those who has special rights?

Remember the special rights were suppossed to be reviewed 15 years after Merdeka which should fall in 1972 but never happened due to events in 1969. What is this mysterious special rights that is so sensitive and could cause so much violence? Check the constitution and see if you can find what these special rights really mean.

Anyway, it defeats the whole purpose of having citizenship if it means you are less of a citizen than another based on race.

We have a problem in our commonwealth history. Both India and Malaysia were in the same quagmire. In India there was the partition solution, which was very very bad to many quarters as millions lost their lives. Here formerly in Malaya there was this social pact that didnt end that way, thank God. So now we are truly in a historical dilema. We must have calm and informed reexamination at the top. What we do after this will again be irreversible, er, you know that time travel paradox thingy.

"that Malays had been coerced into giving non-Malays citizenship..."

To be accurate, we have to say that the British would never have granted this country independence if more than 1/2 of its population then weren't accorded citizenship or given a constitutional way to acquire citizenship.

All races fought for independence together in the true spirit of camaraderie.
No one Malayan party forced the other.

So how do we compete against foreigners - Singaporeans, Chineses, Indians, Americans, EU, Aussies ? Are we 'supreme' over them too ?

It's very disappointing to hear this being said by a member of the royal family. More so after hearing many enlightening things said by other members of royalty such as RPK and Raja Nazrin. And even more so after a very inspiring election in which all races worked together.

The prince says "Malay unity is the core of national unity". He's wrong. It should be "Malaysian unity is the core of national unity".

Despite being treated as lesser beings, the Indians, Chinese and other minorities have fought and died for this country. And it happened even before independence, long before becoming citizens. World War II is an example. The Indians formed the bulk of the British-led Allied Army, and fought against the Japanese in many places, including at Badang and Sabak beaches in Kelantan. After the fall of Malaya and Singapore, the Chinese formed the bulk of the resistance against the Japanese. But all this has been forgotten. So has contributions of the Chinese, Indians and others in later wars, including the Emergency, and the Konfrontasi.

What happens if Malaysia is invaded again? Wouldn't you want all races to unite to fight for this country, as one nation? So, if you want people to fight for this country, then why not treat them equally?

We don't really need to take Tengku Faris seriously, do we?

He has certainly caused some excitement to entertain himself, to which he is fully entitled in his capacity as a human being just like you and me, not as royalty.

He has probably not done an honest day's work and needs his subjects to continue giving him his allowance. I can think of dignified and highly respected royalty who are educated and intelligent.

From his words, we can conclude rationally that Tengku Faris would love to convince the Malays that they will remain in the dinosaur age forever. He is bewildered by the modern progressive Malay who will inexoorably continue to progress in a world that is inexorably passing by the Tengku.

Dear Tuanku,

I have to say that you are wrong , very wrong , you know why , for those of us born in the Straits Settlements ie either in Penang or Malacca that is before independence 31st August 1957 are exempted from having to apply for a citizenship certificate , which means our citizenship is automatic . So where's the logic that that Malays have been coerced into giving non-malays citizenship ? Tiada make sense lah TanKu .

If your logic is that 2.7 million citizenship were given to non-malays in the Federated Malay States , again it does not make sense lah .

In the run up to independence the Unfederated Malay States were brought into the Federation along with the Federated Malay States and the Straits Settlements. Three 'nations' were brought together to form Malaya. When we got our Independence and Malaya was formed , the binding agreement in the form of the Constitution superceded all other agreements , treaties , laws that were in place . In other words everyone became citizens of the new nation , Malaya with one exception ,those born in Penang and Malacca need not apply for a citizenship certificate , however those born in the other states ie Federated and Unfederated need to apply for a citizenship certificate . So where does it show that Malays have been coerced into giving Non-Malays citizenship ?? The non malays had no dealings with the Malays. All dealings were with the British.

So Tuanku , jangan buat BODOH , jangan di peralatkan oleh Barisan Bertindak Perpaduan Melayu , ini NGO di tubuhkan oleh UMNO sebab UMNO sekarang mau isu , isu sensitive ini di mainkan oleh NGO ini dan mereka sudah realise kalau mereka main dengan api , saperti isu ,isu sensitive ini , tangan mereka akan di bakar lagi saperti di March 8th 2008 ini .

So Tuanku I ingat Tuanku lebeh baik minta Ma Af kepada semua . Sekian .

His comments and speeches are truly inspirational and makes one proud of the Malaysian Royalty. Then we have Tengku Faris, who lends his weight to people who create tension and fear, because they lack the intellect to see issues. Malaysians went to vote and voted in for candidates of their choice. is that a crime? How does that threaten any community? Maybe Tengku Faris should have told Malaysians whom to vote for. Get a life Tengku. I can assure you the non-Malays in this country are very loyal to the royalty. They see how princes like Raja Zarin play a vital role in the dynamics that shape our nation.

Probably the chinese should drift northwards or elsewhere, whilst the indians westwards. The north-east winds is srong enough to return the rest to their homeland, leaving the country to the oiginal people. How about that?

This is the very reason why some Malaysians leave Malaysia - small and petty minded individuals like the Crown Prince Faris, whose sole goal is to cause anger and hurt to the very people whose blood, sweat and tears made malaysia what it is today. These very people who could only get government contracts if they could afford to bribe a government officials. I am sure they didnt want to but in order to build a better Malaysia they had to pay. Many millions of Ringit gone missing - probably into the pockets of Bn elite so they can build their large fortified houses and holiday homes and homes for their mistresses and lead extravagant lifestyles. The Royalty would not have survived if BN had no backhanders in order to pay them to do as they were told. Who told Faris to say these disgusting words?

The Chinese and Indian races of Malaysia have every right to citizenship. Many of these citizens have been in malaysia for generations, hundreds of years. They have lived and died and are more than eligible to claim citizenship. And are the royalty of Malaysia not diluted by these two races? You cannot claim your good looks to just one race.

I think it is time for the Royalty to be abolished. Let them go out to work and earn a proper living. Then they will know what hard work is all about.

Better still, Let, as others have written before me, Malacca,Penang and Sabah and Sarawak become independant from Malaysia. How quickly these states will grow and prosper.

Faris, you have never suffered. You probably havent done a good days work nor made your own millions from scratch....get a life.
