Ketuanan Umno

Ketuanan Melayu or Ketuanan Umno? by YB Ronnie Liu

Ketuanan Melayu (Malay Supremacy) is nothing but just a myth; there’s only Ketuanan (Umno Suremacy).

If RM60 billion worth of contracts were given to only 15 groups of Malays associated with Umno, what Ketuanan Melayu they were talking about?

If 30,000 APs were given to only 3 Malays who were associated with Umno while other ordinary Malays were not given a single one, what Ketuanan Melayu Umno was talking about?

And these Malays who made fast and big bucks do not even buy their properties or spend their holidays in Malaysia, and the local Malays have no chance to make a single sen out of their pockets, what kind of Ketuanan Melayu is this?

And Pas will never join Umno for Ketuanan Melayu for there was no such thing as Ketuanan Melayu; and why should Pas want a Ketuanan Umno?

I never consider Tok Guru Nik Aziz as a politician until today. But his suggestion to dissolve Umno and join Pas to form a new Islamic party (with Islamic principles as a prerequisite) shows that he is a real politician. He leaves Umno with no choice but to turn down his offer as UMNO will never be able to compete with Pas on Islamic principles.

So, it’s as good as no offer from Nik Aziz as far as Umno is concerned.

If you ask me, no one should overreact on Nik’s political gesture
