Bila kita lihat muka ini maka akan timbul perkataan parti perkauman No.1 di Malaysia. Ini memang tidak di nafikan kerana apabila Utusan Malaysia cuba membangkitkan isu-isu yang menampakkan tembelang parti perkuaman No.1 di Malaysia maka muka di bawah akan muncul cuba mengalihkan cerita dan pandangan rakyat kepada isu Utusan Malaysia adalah rasis dan akan merosakkan semangat 1 Malaysia ciptaan YB PM. Tetapi YB Ipoh Timur ini gagal mencerminkan konsep 1 Malaysia apabila gagal dalam mengelakkan anggota partinya dan partinya sendiri daripada bersikap perkauman dalam banyak perkara di Malaysia. Natijahnya parti perkauman No.1 di Malaysia ini takutkan Utusan Malaysia, UMNO dan PERKASA serta Hak-hak keistimewaan org Melayu dan Islam dalam Perlembagaan Malaysia.

| Siapa yang perkauman Utusan Malaysia atau DAP? |
Utusan root of national disunity, says Kit Siang
The DAP veteran claimed that the Umno-owned newspaper had poisoned the public with what he called its rhetoric of hatred, distrust and national disunity.
“Utusan Malaysia’s daily staple of lies and falsehoods to stoke communal poison and hatred, sowing distrust and national disunity, is the greatest disservice to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s 1 Malaysia slogan and nation-building.
“Mingguan Malaysia today is again at its anti-national worst with its daily diet of lies and falsehoods to poison the political system and undermine the nation-building process when it made the completely wild and baseless charge in insinuating in its editorial that DAP is working towards the goal of making Malaysia a republic and the abolition of the system of Malay rulers,” he said in a statement.
In today’s Mingguan Malaysia, the Sunday edition of Utusan Malaysia, an editorial claimed that Malaysia would end up a republic if PKR and DAP’s rule of Selangor continues.
“The lesson to be learned from the Selangor crisis is that if PKR and DAP [continue to] rule, much damage will be done. What is certain is that Malaysia will be on the threshold of a republic,” according to the editorial written by Awang Selamat, a pseudonym used by the newspaper’s editors.
The editorial insinuated that Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim, under orders from DAP, wished to trigger a constitutional crisis in the state as a “test case” before similar action was taken in Penang and the rest of the country.
The Umno mouthpiece also alleged that PKR and DAP were deliberately playing up the issue of the state secretary’s appointment to distract the public from weaknesses within PKR and Selangor.
It further claimed that PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had remained silent throughout the impasse so that the public would forget about his “moral issues” and ongoing sodomy trial.
In response, Lim said Awang Selamat’s allegations were lies aimed at dividing Pakatan Rakyat (PR) and the Selangor government.
“There is no need for me to reiterate the DAP’s public, decades-long stand on supporting the system of constitutional monarchy in Malaysia.
“What Awang Selamat had insinuated are downright lies and falsehoods scraping the very bottom of gutter journalism. In seven paragraphs of ‘Iktibar kemelut Selangor’, Awang Selamat had told more than seven lies in its multiple objective to disseminate communal hatred and ill-will, even attempting to sow discord among the Pakatan Rakyat parties of PKR, DAP and PAS in the Selangor coalition government,” he said.
Lim urged Najib to take action against Utusan which he said continues to discredit the administration’s 1 Malaysia message and said that the Cabinet could no longer remain idle to the poison propagated by the paper.
“Under Najib’s premiership and presidency of Umno, Utusan Malaysia has fully transformed from a newspaper into a “liespaper”, diametrically opposed to Najib’s objective of promoting an all-inclusive 1Malaysia media.
“If Najib and Umno leaders, as well as the leaders of the other Barisan Nasional component parties, whether MCA, Gerakan, MIC or the Sarawak and Sabah component parties, continue to close their eyes to the daily dosage of lies and falsehoods to carry out its nefarious objective of pumping communal poison, Malaysians, regardless of race, religion, region or socio-economic grouping, are entitled to know what credibility could Najib’s 1 Malaysia slogan command be it at home or abroad,” he said.
The Selangor state government opposes the appointment of Datuk Khusrin Munawi as the state secretary, arguing that the Public Service Commission (PSC) did not consult the mentri besar before announcing the appointment.
It has announced its intention to seek an amendment of the state constitution by the end of the month to nullify Khusrin’s appointment and to restore the state’s power in the selection of senior officers.
Despite the objection, members of the state administration led by Khalid attended the swearing-in ceremony before the Sultan but had vowed not to let Khusrin take his oath of secrecy to enable him to fulfill his duties as the state secretary.
Previously, former Perak mentri besar Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin had warned the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) Selangor government that it risks losing Malay support over the state secretary dispute.
Nizar was accused of being a traitor after he disagreed with the Sultan of Perak who had refused to dissolve the state assembly following the defection of PR lawmakers, which resulted in the collapse of the state government in 2009.
What reaction does Najib expect to elicit when he used the language of “crushed bodies, lives lost” for Umno to defend power at any cost in Putrajaya and even talked about “ethnic cleansing”?
Any doubts about the lack of political will and leadership of the Najib administration to spearhead political, economic, social and government transformation which must be the pillars for Malaysia’s economic and national salvation are banished by the recent Umno General Assembly and Najib’s Presidential Address and Closing Speech.
What reaction does Najib expect to elicit when he used the language of “crushed bodies, lives lost” for Umno to defend power at any cost in Putrajaya and even talked about “ethnic cleansing”?
How can the Malaysian Chronicle editor Wong Choon Mei be harassed and victitmised of publishing a report using these terms, when this was exactly what Najib said, regardless of the English translation issued by Bernama?
This was what Najib said in his Umno Presidential Address last Thursday:
"Walau berkecai tulang dan juga badan, walau bercerai jasad dari nyawa. Saudara dan saudari, walau apa pun yang gerjadi, Putrajaya mesti kita pertahankan!”
Pakatan Rakyat parties of DAP, PKR and PAS are also prepared at any cost to capture power in Putrajaya in the next general election and end the long decades of BN/Umno misrule and misgovernance, but we are fully committed to achieve this objective by peaceful and democratic means through the ballot box and we do not talk about “crushed bodies, lost lives” or “ethnic cleansing”.
The Prime Minister must come to Parliament to explain what he really meant when he used these terms as there is more than a threat that he would not accept the electoral verdict of the people for a change of Federal government from BN to Pakatan Rakyat and that he is prepared to abandon the democratic process and subvert the rule of law to perpetuate himself and Umno in power.
The leaders of the Barisan Nasional component parties were asked to give their reactions to Najib’s speech after his Umno presidential address and Malaysians are very disappointed that not a single one of them, whether MCA President, Gerakan President, MIC President or president of the other BN component parties dare to express their disagreement or concern with Najib’s use of the language of “crushed bodies, lost lives” and “ethnic cleansing”.
Not even now, after more than a week! Does this imply that they all fully agree with Najib’s implicit threat or are they so impotent and irrelevant that they dare not speak up what is in the minds of ordinary Malaysians?
There is however another side to the coin of Najib’s “crushed bodies, lives lost” speech – for it reflected a realization that Umno and BN could be voted out of power in Putrajaya in the next general election by the Malaysian electorate.
