Datuk Ibrahim Ali

Indeed sad, for former Prime Minister, Tun Mahathir to be involved with such a group as Perkasa whose objective is not to help create 1Malaysia/Bangsa Malaysia but instead to impede it.

What is wrong with all races being united under the Malaysian sun? Why is Ibrahim Ali so much against the Unity of All Races in this country? As if he is taking vengeance on the Malays, Chinese, Indians, Kadazans/Dusuns/Muruts, Bajaus, Bruneis, Ibans, Melanaus and Bidayuhs whose only desire as right thinking citizens are to be united as a nation with equal opportunities for all.

Is this wrong? If so, then what is Malaysia all about? Is it about, after forty seven years of independence, to be still divided by race and religion?

This organization will create a negative impact in the country. It is undermining the philosophy of our founding fathers, Tunku Abdul Rahman and the other leaders whose original concept of Malaysia was that of a nation made up of various races, united and existing as a democratic country.

By its action, Perkasa is saying, it is not interested in Malaysia as a united nation. And therefore, it is against the notion of 1Malaysia/Bangsa Malaysia.

Meaning, it does not support the move by the Prime Minister to bring all the races together under the banner of 1Malaysia/Bangsa Malaysia. In brief, it is hindering Dato’ Najib’s plan to do so as mentioned above.

Not only that, Ibrahim Ali’s action is not supportive of making Malaysia a succes. Instead he wants to create a detriment. And using Perkasa as the vehicle to do so.

Such acts are very damaging and UMNO should take serious measures to stop it before it adversely affect both UMNO and the government.
