From A To Z what is PMX up to?
For a man who prided himself as a reformist it is indeed disappointing what he has turned out to be.
Labelling his critics and those who disagree with him 'bebal' - dumb wits!
What can Malaysians expect of a leader who is unable to accept criticism and differences of opinions?
For one who often talks about inclusiveness, 我们是一家人 (wo men shi yi jia ren) 'we are one family' - anak India, anak saya, anak Cina, anak saya, anak Iban, anak saya... et al, the very first opportunity he had, PMX tore into the poor form six female Indian student who had asked him about meritocracy in the placement of students in institutions of higher learning irresepctive of race.
Instead of calmly engaging her and explaining why discriminatory policies are still needed in place.
That gave an early indication where things are heading notwithstanding the averment of inclusiveness.
Up till very recently PMX was still talking of inclusiveness like here
After reassuring the Malays that "The government and I through our formidable coalition partners have made it very clear that constitutional guarantees are in place, that the position of the Malay rulers, Malay and Bumiputera privileges and Islam is the religion of the Federation and Bahasa Melayu language will never be compromised" PMX went on to say:-
“This instills confidence in me because not only Malays, but also non-Malays, including my Cabinet, understand that this position and government policy make it very clear that we are here to be fair, to consider every single Malaysian as one great member of one great family"
Trying to shore up his support among the Indian Muslims?
Or deepening the rift between Muslims and non-Muslims via his preparedness to assist Indian Muslims secure Bumiputera status for economic and political benefits as Professor James Chin wondered?
Ai ya ya!
Indeed, what is PMX up to?
Shouldn't economic assistance be given to any Malaysian citizen needing it irrespective of his or her race, religion or beliefs?
After all, PMX has often averred that the poor irrespective of race, colour or religion will not be left out.
