Language Problem or Racist Problem?

Commenting on:
Malaysiakini, 10 Dec 2009

What the HECK?!

Seriously, "Malaysians" are so proud of their "multi-ethnic and multi-racial" background. The government is also so damn proud that they had the Tourism Board saying "Malaysia: Truly Asia" all around the world.

So, why can't the inmates speak in their mother tongue?
The officials cite "security reasons", but I say "racist reasons". It clearly violates the basic human right of speech! Sure, we don't want another charismatic, glamorous leader such as Hitler to rise from the ranks of prison inmates, and that's why every phone call is monitored.

However, to cite that the wardens can't understand the language of other ethnic groups and therefore forcing the inmates to speak in either English or Malay, just shows how narrow-minded, bigoted and inflexible these people are. It's no wonder since this undoubtedly had spawned from the idiots who STILL spew out the "Ketuanan Melayu" bullshit.

Fact of life, you wardens and other bigots out there: The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language says that estimates of total living languages in the world vary from 3,000 to 10,000. Take a good look of yourselves in the mirror, and realize that in this world, the languages available to humans are too numerous for a normal human brain to digest, much less to master all of them. If this makes you think that this warrants your despicable behavior, then please DISCONTINUE your hiring of translators when you use taxpayers money for your overseas "official" visits.

To Zaini Hassan and his bigoted colleagues,
We know you jokers are giving Malaysians a daily dose of the BTN bullcrap, telling those of "other" ethnicity groups that we are "immigrants" even though some of us have been around since your oh-so-glorified days of the Malaccan Sultanate. To tell you the truth, we are more Malaysian than the whole lot of you, simply because we are more worried for the future of Malaysia than you.

To Seri Setia assemblyman Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad,
Kudos to your book, "Moving Forward"/"Mendepani Zaman". Malaysia is in need of sincere, forward-looking leaders like you. I sincerely hope that you would not deviate in the future for higher gains or get shot down politically as your many sincere predecessors had experienced.
