"There is nothing as depressing as watching a man way
past his use-by date trying to revive the old glory days, strutting his
opinionated versions of what should be." - Anak si-Hamid
The Malay archipelago |
These days, the Malays in Singapore are not trying too hard to hide
their contemt towards Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew.I have friends and
relatives there, OK, so I know. The Minister Mentor's latest diatribe
against the Malays in his latest book is the last straw for some. One
more smart remark, Kuan Yew, and the Malays in Singapore may do a
Hindraf on you!
Anak si-Hamid is no longer just a Malay in Singapore (she has homes in
both sides of the Suez) but I'm sure Malays living on both sides of the
Causeway and who are familiar with Kuan Yew's politics will enjoy
reading. And she's not just hitting out at one man or one race; the
best shots are reserved for her own ...
"However, the
Muslim-Malays also had their own turncoats and desperados who were
happy to sell their people for a song, like the way Singapore was
'acquired' from the Johor rulers. And this Wayang is still going on
today."
