It’s more than just political
By the time the course ends the Malays would understand that the non-Malays are the enemy and that Umno is the only protection they have against the Chinese, Indians and ‘others’. This is what BTN is all about.

BTN courses not politically motivated, says Muhyiddin
MUAR: Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin denied claims that courses run by the Biro Tatanegara (BTN) or National Civics Bureau were a form of political indoctrination, saying they were to inculcate nationalism and unity among the people in line with the 1Malaysia concept.
“BTN courses are not for ‘converting’ participants to Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN). There are no ulterior motives; these courses are well intended,” the Deputy Prime Minister told reporters after presenting cows for the Aidiladha in Pagoh, here Thursday.
He said members of the public and employees of private companies should not be stopped from attending courses organised by the government’s agency.
He added that the Selangor state government and Mentri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim were given a wrong impression on the courses run by the BTN.
Muyhiddin, who is Umno deputy president, was commenting on the decision by the Selangor government on Wednesday, barring state civil servants, students in state-run higher learning institutions and employees of state government linked companies from attending courses organised by the BTN, effective immediately.
State Education, Higher Education and Human Capital Development Committee chairman Halimah Ali was reported to have said that courses run by the BTN were an indoctrination process by the Barisan and that they created racist phenomenon.
Muhyiddin said the Selangor menteri besar had no right to stop federal civil servants, members of the public and staff of private companies from attending BTN courses.
He said that federal civil servants were not subject to the directive issued by the state government.
“Show me under what law the Selangor menteri besar can do that,” he said, adding that the BTN would continue holding such courses.
“If Selangor does not want to participate, it’s okay; but we cannot stop the people from learning about 1Malaysia, about nationalism and unity,” he said.
On the Aidiladha, which will be celebrated Friday, Muhyiddin said the spirit of sacrifice should be appreciated and internalised.
At the event, Muhyiddin presented 31 cows for tomorrow’s celebration.
He also wished all Muslims in the country, including those who are still performing the haj in Mecca, a happy Aidiladha. – Bernama
*************************************************
The Deputy Prime Minister says that the BTN courses are not politically motivated. Actually, he is not quite wrong here because the BTN courses are more than just politically motivated. As for his statement that there are no ulterior motives behind the BTN courses, this is of course a lie. There is nothing but ulterior motives behind the entire BTN setup.
The purpose of BTN is to brainwash the Malays and ensure that they understand and subscribe to the concept of Ketuanan Melayu or Malay Supremacy. The government gets very angry when we equate Ketuanan Melayu to Apartheid. If it is not called Apartheid then what do we call it? Would not women who sell their bodies for money be said to be involved in prostitution? If it is not called prostitution then what is it called?
So, Ketuanan Melayu is as much Apartheid as the oldest profession in the world is prostitution. There are no other ways of describing it.
BTN is an extension of Umno. Its job is to ensure that the Malays continue supporting Umno and not get swayed by the opposition. The Malays are told that DAP is a Chinese chauvinist party whose sole objective is to rob the Malays of their rights while Anwar Ibrahim is an American agent and a tool of the Jews. This, therefore, makes Anwar dangerous to the Malay cause. Anwar, in fact, is a traitor to the Malay race and is selling out the Malays to the Chinese and the Americans.
There are those, the Malays are told, who would like to abolish the Monarchy in favour of a Republic. Malaysia needs to remain a Monarchy. It can’t be turned into a Republic. This is because the Monarchy is a symbol of Ketuanan Melayu and that is why the Rulers are called Raja-raja Melayu, the Malay Rulers. They are not called Raja-raja Malaysia or Malaysian Rulers.
To remove the Rulers means Malay Supremacy would end. Then the Malays would no longer be ‘special people’. They would be just one more of the many citizens in Malaysia and at par with the Chinese, Indians and ‘others’.
So Umno will defend the institution of the Monarchy and this is what the Malays must do as well. The future of the Malays depends on this. It is because of the Raja-raja Melayu that the Malays have this ‘special position’. Without the Rulers, the Malays would be ‘nothing’; a second class race in their own country.
The British, in their wisdom, realised that if the Chinese and Indians are not kept in check then they would eventually take over the country and the Malays would become slaves in their own country. Today’s slavery is no longer the slavery of olden days. Today’s slavery is economic domination and the Malays would become economic slaves because the Chinese and Indians would control the economy of Malaysia.
So the British, in their wisdom, wrote into the Federal Constitution of Malaya (now Malaysia) some ‘special clauses’. And these special clauses can’t be challenged. To challenge them would mean you are committing a crime under the Sedition Act. And if there is not enough evidence to charge you in court they can always classify you as a threat to national security and detain you without trial under the Internal Security Act.
In what way are you a threat to national security? Well, if you challenge the position of the Rulers or the special position of the Malays this may anger the Malays and it could trigger a race riot. The Malays may run amok and take to the streets like they once did in May 1969. So you must not make the Malays angry by questioning the Raja-raja Melayu or the special position of the Malays. If you do, then you are a threat to national security and therefore you can be detained without trial under the ISA.
The Malays accept this argument. And it is the job of BTN to make sure that the Malays not only understand this and accept this but also defend this with blood if necessary. And that makes BTN more than just political in objective.
Another thing the Malays are told is that Malaysia can’t be turned into a Republic because the Rulers are crucial to the survival of the Malays. Article 41 of the Constitution says: The Yang di-Pertuan Agong shall be the Supreme Commander of the armed forces of the Federation. Further to that, the various state Rulers are Commanders-in-Chief of the navy, air force, infantry, artillery, calvary, Malay Regiment, commandos, and so on. This means the armed forces comes under the command of the Raja-raja Melayu.
Now, this is very important. The Chinese and Indians may control the economy. But the Malays control the military. And in the event the Chinese and Indians need to be put in their places then the Malays would have the means to do so. So it is crucial that the Raja-raja Melayu be retained and defended. That is the last line of defence for the Malays in the event they need to take back the country from the non-Malays.
The Malays are taught this. And it is the job of BTN to educate the Malays about this. Umno’s survival depends on the Malays understanding this, accepting this, and defending this. So BTN is basically Umno’s ‘survival kit’. It ensures that the Malays become very worried about their future and become aware of the threat the non-Malays pose to the future of the Malays. And it ensures that the Malays see that only Umno can guarantee the future of the Malays. Without Umno the Malays are dead. And BTN will explain during these courses how and why this is so.
By the time the course ends the Malays would understand that the non-Malays are the enemy and that Umno is the only protection they have against the Chinese, Indians and ‘others’. This is what BTN is all about.
But it does not stop there. BTN not only brings civil servants and students to the courses. BTN also infiltrates the universities. Is it any wonder that Nordin Kardi who heads UUM is from BTN? And speak to any student of UITM and hear what he or she has to say about the non-Malays. BTN and Umno have bred an entire generation of racists who view this country as a Malay country and the non-Malays as enemies and traitors who should be treated with great suspicion.

their actions pushed more voters to the side of Pakatan Rakyat.
The ground force is swelling with the deteriorating economies,
high level of corruptions, crime and political in-fightings in BN.
As for the MCA & Gerakan, please ... please ... please...
read the SIGNS of the Rakyat especially in Penang,
population 1.313 million, Chinese 61%, Bumiputra 27%,
Indian 10% & 2% Others.
BN Chinese representative in State Assembly & Parliament = ZERO "0"
The outlook is bleak in 2010, and with the Gulf states economies falling
such as Dubai, 2011 is worst off with the G8 major economies in turmoil.
Our Treasury is crumbling and CIMB to in major trouble soon...
Just think, why Sr. Minister LKY is so free to visit Penang for chit chat?
MCA Leaders, your next move is very obvious before the next GE ...
unless Leaders are blinded by mere materials wealth and positions!
Berdikari, Bagan

(2) For unity sake, it is good that we streamline our education system using a the same curricular contents. It means, for example, at primary level, science content is the same for SK, SJKC and SJKT students despite using different languages. At secondary level, all races learn the same science content which is fair. At post secondary, racism comes in because the malays learn physics, chemistry, biology, or maths at different level (or should I say much watered down syllabuses) within a shorter period (e.g., only one year) while the non-malays have to learn physics, chemistry, biology or maths at another level (which is much tougher) for two years. Why the difference in content, difficulty level, and number of years at post secondary? Generally, Malay graduates are much younger than the Chinese and Indians, simply because of the matriculation system. "Kita kan gagah di nusantara " which implies that all malaysians should compete at the same playing field? May I suggest that Form 6 (STPM) syllabuses should follow the matriculation one.

Must give UMNO credit - they sure are talented and committed at peddling fear, mistrust, and hate amongst the peoples.
Great divide to rule strategy, of course covertly supported by the our cockroaches of the MCA, MIC, and Gerakan who safeguard their personal treasures at the nation's expense.
Guess this is the core platform of a self-proclaimed racial nationalist leader DrM.
(such towering contributions and legacy for a nation)
Question now is - are you (and your children) a victim or a beneficiary of such practices ?
(clearly the people of bagan pinang don't think or understand they are victims by such policies and practices)

It a shame. Under the British rule and even on during Tunku Abdul Rahman time, Malaysian of all races were united. Now thanks to UMNO racist approach, the country is successfully divided.
If you are talking about pendatang, many years ago almost everyone with exception of the orang asli were foreigners. Now mostly are local as they were born and grown in this country regardless of their race.
How is the country going to be united when the leaders are taking such extreme approach?

Although the article only says that it is aimed at civil servants, students, employees of private companies etc., nowhere does it say that that non-Malays cannot attend, although this is strongly implied in the posting and the comments. So can non-Malays attend or not? If not this is discriminatory practice and surely this is not what the spirit of 1Malaysia is all about. It makes the direction that things are heading all the more frightening.
On the question of whether to fight or pack, things like this make the light at the end of the tunnel seem even more distant. Those "non-privileged" who care about the future of their next generations and who have the means, will surely be considering packing, unless the opposition takes over govt. at the next GE, when there may be a chance of a return to sanity, albeit a slim one, as reversing the damage inflicted over the last 40 years would be a massive task.
Well, I suppose that we can hope that the current govt changes for the better but I think that hell would freeze over first.

This bribery alone should be enough for the average Malay civil servants to support UMNO forever. But some upright decent Malay civil servants, police and military personnel and a significant proportion of the general Malay populace have seen UMNO's game and have started to question UMNO's corruption and evil deeds. The only way to divert this threat posed a growing proportion of the Malay population to UMNO's survival is through the BTN's Ketuanan Melayu agenda, hence the current indoctrunation and brainwashing of Malay civil servants and students. Top of the agenda is the "threat " posed by the enemy of the Malays - the Chinese (Indians don't matter as they are weak and can be easily quelled if not shot).
The regular pay rises and apartheid BTH training may work to reinforce the loyalty of Malay civil servants, etc. to UMNO. But there is a far bigger proportion of Malays out there who are neither getting the "pay rise" and similar form of bribes nor going for BTN training. Pakatan Rakyat, NGOs, civil societies and decent Malaysians should expose UMNO's evil deeds and corruption to these Malay masses. If they rise up, UMNO will be finished even if this evil organization has the support of the majority of civil servants, police and military. UMNO will be finished when the Malay masses rise and this day is not very far away.

The only thing that this article did not write on is BTN asking the Malays to turn their "production factory" on to produce their kind by leaps and bounds. As a result, you can see even the poor kampong Malay folks having 10 children. And now you know how the Malays have become Mat Rempits, what with poverty and lack of parental control and love, these Mat Rempits have now emerged to threaten the peace that we have enjoyed for so long.
The non-Malays are fully aware of this, but choose not to respond in like manner, knowing full well that life for the non-Malays will be very tough as the Government will not be helping them in any way.
UMNO continues to preach that non-Malays are pendatangs, that is why the Ahmad Ismail's continue to make such statements. For everyone's info. the non-Malays are not pendatangs. They were born here and even their parents were born here. So how can they be called pendatangs? Can Amirrudin can answer this?

they are being lied to consistently. And unfortunately for UMNO, the more it intensifies its racist propaganda, the more it drives the Malay support away. Unfortunately too, UMNO has learnt absolutely NOTHING from its bitter experience at the last GE. They are hell bent on self-destruction. And they can count on one thing, the next GE will bring them down to their knees. Good riddance then.

Many times have I thought of just packing and go..
But I loath to pack without fighting back. I love Malaysia.. I am born here and if God willing.. I would die here. (old age i pray and not death being hack by some racist mob)
In fact.. China does not recognize me as their citizen, (come on, face the fact, there is chinese in all continents and countries around the world)

BTN ANd UMNO is bringing the Malays back to the stone age, where they constantly on alert doing battle cry. They have created imaginary enemy for the MAlays. The Malays will forever close themselves to their own primitive world.
Americans, Europeans, Japanese, Chinese and Koreans are opening themselves up to the fast and progressive world. Even though the Chinese were late, but they are competing themselves in the global world.
BUT BTN and UMNO wants the Malays to be in their cave. Close themselves to the world. They tell the Malays that they are surrounded by enemies like the CHinese, Americans, Jewish and europeans. And the Malays will forever remain afraid.
THE MALAYS WILL NEVER PROGRESS.

Apart from what you have written, BTN is a lot more. Here is my story.
Even NON-Malays from Sabah have to attend this compulsory course if they are to be confirmed in the civil service, state or federal.
Several young relatives of mine had to attend this course and all have come back telling me it was nothing but a waste of time and nothing but brainwashing. All except one have returned and dumped all their notes and rules and regulation at the camp into the rubbish bin. But the last one at my instruction immediately dump all her notes and booklets to me on her returned.
She was not too happy having to bring along 8 pairs of baju kurungs and other sport activity clothings that caused her to pay extra baggage weight at the airport.
And being a non-moslem, the BTN compulsory ISLAMIC dress is an attempt to convert non-moslems apart from those apartheid and ketuanan melayu indoctrination.
I still have the booklet with me and in three pages, it was written..
MALAYSIA ADALAH NEGARA ISLAM
MALAYSIA ADALAH NEGARA ISLAM
MALAYSIA ADALAH NEGARA ISLAM
Can anyone tell me under which law or constitution gave the UMNO regime to declare this country as ISLAMIC?
as far as I know, this is violating the 20 points agreement of Sabah partnering the formation of this blooody country.
my relatives who went to Uitm sabah campus came back with similar stories, that the UMNO cadres in the campus all running the student welfare department must have compulsory KETUANAN MELAYU in their co-curriculum.
The thing that really ERKS sabahan bumiputra is that they are not treated as Malays and so they are treated as second class bumiputra in the university.
After all, those non-moslem bumiputras from sabah are neither Malays, not chinese, not indians but are classified as OTHERS.
so what does this BLOODY UMNO regime and those BN component party leaders have to say about this?
continuous support for these bastards can only be stupid and moronic... !!
