NST should be responsible for wrongly connotating ‘Ketuanan Melayu’

 

It has come to our attention, that NST’s article on HRH Raja Perlis’s titah on ‘Ketuanan Melayu’ has been spun, for most probably the wrong reason. Primero bloggo-journo Rocky’s Bru has highlighted the major English as ‘Putting words in HRH’s mouth’.

‘Ketuanan Melayu ‘is about respecting and adherence to HRHs Malay Sultans sovereign rule and traditions as ‘Masters of the Land’, despite sacrificing the luxury of power for Westminster style ‘Constitutional Monarchy’ democracy, when Federation of Malaya achieved its independence. This is embedded in the Federal Constitution.

In short, ‘Ketuanan Melayu’ is constitutional and it does not repress other peoples’ rights.

Interpreting this otherwise is inherently dangerous. NST should be responsible in presenting HRH Raja Perlis’s (who was the past immediate XII HM Seri Paduka Yang DiPertuan Agong) titah, with such strong connotation. Lately, some Malaysians already using any opportunities they can to belittle the indirect role and patronage of HRH’s within the Malaysian political system, for all the wrong reasons.

Now, does NST has a ‘hidden agenda’ in this article?

Strangely, it were the same persons who adulterated ‘Daulat Tuanku’ for their narrow political  struggle almost one and a half year ago, when they felt HRHs were ready to back their street movement for political pressure against the ruling government.

NST, as a responsible ‘media corporate citizen’ should make sure that the rakyat do not misuse any part of any HRH’s titah, for all the wrong and selfish reasons. The convenient “correction we almost missed” is something should probably be taken as ‘having a hidden agenda’.

  1. Sir,
    Didn’t the rumour go around last year in the bersih march that the King was indeed for the people, so much so that he sent an armoured division to KL to support the march?

    I dread to think that the rakyat in general has actually fallen for such a lie that was perpetrated by RPK!

    I am all for responsible reporting! As for the Raja of Perlis statement, the editor should pay for his ineptitude!

  2. Sir;

    It’s a clear cut, brazen, not-meant-to-be-hidden agenda of the anti-Malay anti-Islam elements and penderhakas of the nation out to subvert, destabilize and disrupt the fine balance of tolerance and peace in the country .. for their evil agenda for the nation would never achieve any semblance of success if the nation is at peace and contented.

  3. NST memang sah berniat jahat!

    Ini agenda strategik Yahudi Neo Con, yg guna saki baki Kalimullah utk kucar-kacirkan negara! Penghabisnyn, berlaku anarki & mereka kembali ‘menguasai’ kita dgn bertopengkan nilai sejagat.

    Melayu jgn TERTIPU MUSLIHAT Kalimullah!

  4. I thought that the earlier announcement by the Raja was the best news that our country has ever have for a long long time. But then it was all smoke-screen, never never has my country ever has a real leader in the image of Onn Jaafar. Even a one generation mamak and Toyo have more priviliged comparing to those being discriminated who have actually live in this country for many generations. What religion, what sanity, what principle…ya, they are all for nothing…repeat nothing.

  5. masuk Islam jadi melayu senang abis cerita

  6. Buat apa, si Melayu tongkat. Jangan mengkotori agama atas nafsu dan fikiran yang berkurangi.

  7. Jamil Ismail @ Jamil Kucing, pemilik blog http://bbcatlover.blogspot.com/ rupanya musang berbulu ayam.. terbaca pendedahannya di http://jamilkucingpondan.blogspot.com … patutlah blognya dipenuhi artikel dari blog orang lain (ciplak@tanpa rujuk) dengan maki hamun dan sumpah seranahnya, rupanya dia tengah kegersangan… al batangi penjilat al juburi !!!
