Last night I was invited to a forum at the Chinese Assembly Hall in Kampung Attap initiated by DAP on the PKFZ scandal. And no I was not invited to the other RNC gathering.
Anyways hearing CaptainYusof's pledge during his speech, to take it upon himself to see some semblance of justice to the crooks in the PKFZ scandal was the only refreshing news for the day as opposed to the more prominent stalwart of DAP YB Lim Kit Siang and newbies DAP Economic Advisor Teh Chi Chang and Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua together with celebrated economist /author Tan Sri Dr. Ramon Navaratnam.
And to borrow the good captain's words........"heads MUST roll !"
But what irked me more was the sight of this printed "Perak fiasco" tee-shirt sample that was displayed for sale at the entrance of the forum hall ! (pic. below)....what do you make of it ?
Somebody in DAP better explain to me the reason for such blatant discrimination ! Why is the wordings in only 3 languages ? You call this 1Black Malaysia for all Malaysians ? You serve all races in Malaysia, yes ? I also understand you have a substantial number of "Malaysians of remote Indian origins" members in DAP and you print tee-shirts in only 3 languages ?
Look here I'm not a being petty bigot or being unreasonable but DON'T DO THIS ! This smacks of being racists !
My advice is either you print them in English alone (now that our honorable Education Minister is suddenly stressing the importance of that language) OR in English AND Bahasa Malaysia !
Don't do this kind of "cheap crap" to all your faithful members who are "Malaysians of remote Indian origins" !
Somebody remarked in jest that they printed the Tamil words with black dye ! Funny yes but definitely a bad joke !
Me, I'm neither a card carrying member of DAP nor am I "black" !....I'm a "hot-chocolate"....if you get my drift....kapish ??

stephen, a little sensitive there ? if beign PC (political correct) is necessary in all circumstance, then it defeats the purpose of honoring a particular language or writing. So, in a function, should it be a Tamil or Hindi speaker, if an Indian is necessary? Similarly, it's just a T-shirt. Come on@.
unless of course, everything have to be like singapore..soon, they have to add indonesian into the official language.
Hi sorry to have offended you, but the t-shirts were not printed by DAP, they were done by DEMA.
Shanghai fish,
I think your suggestion to ha ve just english or BM makes sense.If we include tamil, the other group like iban, portuguese will ask what about them?
to pix pixie,
Offending me is your worry ? This is typical "passing the buck" bullshit ain't it ? Always saying somebody else did it. Cut the crap and take full responsibility for everything that happens there ok? Now you're sounding no different from BN !
Hey, DAP hastards, dont take our support for granted. Dont mess around with us. We can make or break you. Consider this an advice. Cheers from Tanjong Rambutan Pub where signages are in all languages.
Language is only a tool and do not turn it into an ideology. The system must encourage Malaysian to lean as many language as possible while having Bahasa Malaysia as the national language. For examp-le give incentives for government workers who went through the malay medium who are proficient in english and english medium government workers who are proficient in malay. In no time we will become a nation that operates on dual language.
Language is only a tool the more tools we have the better.Ramalx
