Datukship doesnt qualify as an appreciation scheme simply because it's cash for honors and not contributions to nation! <BR/><BR/>Btw, how was this nutcase made the NSC director in the first place? Is this how sports being run in Malaysia nowadays? Cant appreciate a world class achievement? Seems that Malaysian sports will sink lower than ever if nobody actually voices out their frustration. <BR/><BR/>The only reason why Malaysians cant achieve their maximum potential is simply because of complacency. Get rid of the subsidies, replace them with meritocracy and proper systems to identify talents. Provide a fair playing field where everybody competes and we shall see who will cause riots at the end of the day! Are Malaysians ready for that challenge to compete internationally? I still think the answer is no at this point hence the NEP would alwiz be a Never Ending Policy.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16753742057992027114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-65846972369012200022007-03-17T19:27:00.000+08:002007-03-17T19:27:00.000+08:00We're all proud of Nicole and we all think she wel...We're all proud of Nicole and we all think she well deserves an award. Although she hasnt received due recognition from the governement, there is no excuse for us to link religion and racial issues to this. <BR/><BR/>We Malaysians are proud for Nicol's success as a Malaysian worldclass sports star. <BR/><BR/>But Nicol should be embarrased with some of us here, being such a racist and negative bunch. She is a true Malaysian, not like some of us here, who would leave Malaysia just for not getting material things like land and a Ferrari or a dumb datukship. <BR/><BR/>No wonder such success was bestowed upon her by God. It's because she deserves it- she remains humble and doesnt turn her back on anyone for a stupid datukship. <BR/><BR/>People who make racial and religiosly linked comments, are the ones destroying this country. You are truly an enemy of Malaysia. <BR/><BR/>Nicol plays so hard to put this country on the map for something great. And all it takes to tarnish its greatness is by having people like yourselves open your dirty mouths. She is proud to be a Malaysian alhtough she hasnt gotten her Datukship. And she will stick to this country unlike some of you who only want to receive without giving. <BR/><BR/>Stop destroying Malaysia with filthy racial comments, it only reflects on what kind of person your are and how you think.<BR/><BR/>By the way, a Datukship isn't a world class title. Go to England or Australia or Germany, no one cares what a bloddy Datukship is. Heck, they wouldnt even know how to pronounce it (Daretooksheeph???).<BR/><BR/>The World No.1 squash player IS A WORLD CLASS TITLE, and that's what she's after.

Don’t get me wrong I have no hesitation at all to make comments and explanations on it, even on this blog. But not under the heading “Datuk Nicole David?”-its just not proper..maybe under a different title. <BR/><BR/>Also next time, please don’t make demands on me to convive you or anyone else to reconsider some of your assumptions, which in the first posting took the form of wild accusations and misrepresentations. Simple code of ethics demands that the burden of proof lies with the accuser, not the accused. It applies, in the courts, in the real world and it should also apply on a blog.<BR/><BR/>Ps- I have no interest what so ever to pontificate with racist of what ever racial denomination. A racist by definition does not want a reason, they want an excuse. You, anonymous, on the other hand, as evident by your last posting, seems to be a very reasonable chap..So take me up my offer. You know where to reach me.<BR/><BR/>And please do me one favour: change your nickname, after awhile, its bloody confusing to distinguish one anon from another-if you catch my drift <BR/><BR/>Hope to hear from you soon<BR/><BR/>Thanx for your timeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-1165313963939196492006-12-05T18:19:00.000+08:002006-12-05T18:19:00.000+08:00Dear anonymous(10:38am-10:48am),Yes, your right, i...Dear anonymous(10:38am-10:48am),<BR/><BR/>Yes, your right, its not as simple as that.<BR/><BR/>The nature of racism in Malaysia , its roots, its causes and the psychology of it is not as simple as that- neither are the assumptions that its built upon<BR/><BR/>The nature of the special privileges of the Malays and the justification for the social contract - morally, historically, legally, politically -are also not as simple as that<BR/><BR/>The mix of the two above and the many folded ways of their relationship, is I gather, the areas where your grouses lie. Yes, it’s a very complex issue and trying to make sense of it and where necessary, to appropriate blame and solutions is gonna be very, very treacherous, if not near impossible. <BR/><BR/>There’s no getting around is there? Its just not that simple is it? Actually, its very, very complex and very, very combustible isn’t, it?<BR/><BR/>As such, it is our responsibility, nay!, our moral and civic duty as Malaysians, as responsible citizens and bloggers, to not make crass cheap racial potshots- because it adds to the problem, not the solution. <BR/><BR/>Chivalry and good gentlemanly conduct is the order of the day!A prerequisite,if you will, if we are to have any hope of getting to the bottom of it instead of getting suck into a raging inferno<BR/> <BR/>Hence, more the reason why I stand by my previous comments- a comment space dedicated to celebrating OUR Nicol is not the proper medium for it<BR/> <BR/>Its as simple as that <BR/><BR/>U have my e-mail.

All the other races should and must help in that.<BR/><BR/>But how can they if the officials are zealots in trying to achieve that and end up creating the a situation - they achieve it but only partially will it be celebrated?<BR/><BR/>It's not that simple.<BR/><BR/>But i sense you do have a good education.

You sanctimoniously talk about meritocracy, but in trying to prove a point, demonstrate your willingness to do the opposite, ie cut corners. Yes, when one is sitting on a yellow napkin, its easy to talk the talk, but not walk the walk, huh? <BR/><BR/>My advice is, please, even when paraphrasing other people's comments, try not to compromise on accuracy, or else your belief in meritocracy will start to ring hollow.<BR/><BR/>Ah, yes... before i forget. <BR/><BR/>All my comments on the the racist anti racist comments posted, were limited to the racial insinuations which were being thrown about in the event Nicole does not get what she deserves.My comments, if you bothered to read them properly, were limited to answering the comments within the framework of the title and the other uncouth comments which included among others, comment no2,3,4,9,38,39,40 and so on and so forth. <BR/><BR/>If your beef is with what you percieve to be the general discrimination in this country, i wont comment on that-that to me is not related to the title, the other racist comments nor my replies to them .<BR/><BR/>But don't you think its a bit pointless on my part, and a bit hypocritical on yours,for us to listen to people who whine and complain about discrimination, when even when posting on a blog they themselves racialy discriminate? Just imagine if this people were in power..wouldnt be much differant from the current blokes, would it? Maybe differant faces, and better skin colour, but in terms of mondus operandi it'll be the same old same, wouldn't it?So what gives them a right to complain? <BR/><BR/>Now,as it has been demonstrated, your a trigger happy sort of fellow, so, don't jump the gun and start accusing me of being evasive-I'll comment on anything under the moon, as long as its at the proper place and medium- just ask with the requisite decorum and respect, mate.<BR/><BR/>I can be contacted at my e-mail, gosbaurus@yahoo.com. <BR/><BR/>Don't dissapoint me baby, i'll be looking foward to hearing from you.Just be reasonable, and i'll be doubly so.<BR/><BR/>With warm regards, tertullionAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-1165229271863353302006-12-04T18:47:00.000+08:002006-12-04T18:47:00.000+08:00hey tortillion,if it wasn't clear enough for you, ...hey tortillion,<BR/><BR/>if it wasn't clear enough for you, then would serving it on a silver platter to hide the yellow napkin you're wearing to evade the question, which, rephrased as a statement now is:<BR/><BR/>if you can convince me/us that the powers-at-present will stop their racial prejudices in this country, including that in the distribution of rewards and recognition in the fields of sports and other human endeavours, then you and others can continue your pontification against 'racists' <BR/><BR/>Go ahead, convince.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-1165227409751459912006-12-04T18:16:00.000+08:002006-12-04T18:16:00.000+08:00To anonymous(9:56am) or Bond who likes married wom...To anonymous(9:56am) or Bond who likes married women,<BR/><BR/>I will respond to you if you write properly.

Melayu jati bernama tertullion! Maana nya mema...Hi! Melayu jati bernama tertullion! Maana nya memang banyak lah Melayu jati yang lebih berbillion billion (to quote Ghafar Baba) kan. Sewaktu muda sadikit dahulu kala saya pernah menjelajah berjalan kaki hingga ke Eropah. Saya juga ada lah saorang Melayu (atau Minangkabau yang pertama) yang pernah sampai ke Artic Circle (bukan circle yang di tengah, tetapi circle yang kedua. Ingat tak yang konon nya ada dua orang budak Malaysia yang sampai ke Artic circle? Bohong! Jika ambil gambar di mana mana di Canada pada musim salji semua tanah di penuhi dengan salji, jadi moron di Malaysia yang gila kan nama dengan sekonyong konyong nya menerima hakikat bahawa yang orang Malaysia yang handal telah menjelajah Artic circle oleh kerna gambar mereka memakai winter suit di ambil dikeliling salji! Kerajaan Melayu ini memang bangang! Kerajaan menerima sahaja sebarang penipuaan tanpa memereksa! Soaalan: Mengapa Kalimulah di kurniakan pangkat datuk walhal beliau dishaki pertualang dan harus di siasati, dan mengurniakan pangkat datuk kepada beliau ada lah suatu langkah yang tidak bertangung jawab! Dan apa salah nya jika kita berjuang untuk bangsa dan negara tanpa mengharapkan apa apa ganjaran, Jadi kepada Nicol David what is a title, you only prove things to yourself! Kalau ada pengurniaan yang harus di buat saya sepatut nya di anugerahkan kurnia datuk kerna berjaya berjalan kaki seluruh dunia dan sampai ka artic circle! Tetapi disebaliknya walau banyak mana anugerah di beri jika pemikiran bangsat pun tiada guna nya, kesimpulan nya negeri ini ada lah sasuatu negara yang paling gilakan pangkat dan kurniaan, bahawa mereka mereka ini tidak sedar bahawa pangkat banyak mana pun mereka juga akan mampus saperti kesemua makhlok yang hidup, beranak membersar tua dan mampus! Jadi sabelum mampus mengapa kita semua tidak boleh berbaik baik kan dan sayang sesuatu sama lain dan peluk memeluk di antara satu dengan dua! Kelmarin saya membeli nasi lemak dan perempuan yang menjual itu bergincu dan bermascara yang mempunyai buah dada yang montok! Bila saya tanya, dia tidak mengerti saya terpaksa berulang kali meminta daging bukan ayam! Kemudian dia mengaki tidak dengar oleh kerna tudung nya menutup telinga dan terlalu ketat! Kemudian saya beritahu dia "awak paham maana moron tak!" dan dia menjawab "itu lauk apa bang?!". Kesimpulan nya bukan saja kita gila pangkat kita langsung tak paham mengapa perempuan Islam Melayu harus di suruh bertubu tubi menutup aurat, hingga kan konsep aurat itu pun kita sudah keliru apa maana nya! Pada saya menurunkan darjat perempuan Melayu kita dengan menyuruh mereka beraktif di dalam guni ada lah perbuatan yang salah dan ini bermula dari Anwar Ibrahim yang dengan senyap senyap nya melalui ABIM dan Yayasan Anda beliau telah mempengaruhi perempuan Melayu supaya berfesen guni! Sekarang ini pulak si Bangsat Anwar ini memberitahu dunia bahawa NEP harus di hapuskan, beliau berkata bahawa NEP ini ada lah saperti Affimative Action, ini ada lah satu andaiaan yang tidak benar. Kesudahan nya saya hanya suka memberi pandangan bahawa kadang kala kita ini bangdsa pengecut kita akan membuat alasan supaya tidak mengambil tindakan. Kesimpulan nya orang yang sepatut nya di anugerahi dengan kurnia harus di pertimbangkan dengan teliti, dan orang yang menjadi petualang harus di hukum dan kurniaan di ambil balik dan tidak harus di beri. Dan kerajaan harus memberi suatu Fatwa untuk mebernarkan perempuan Melayu untuk tidak memakai purdah dan tudung ketat di dalam keadaan tropika ini, dan Anwar Ibrahin harus di lucut kan gelaran nya dan lucutkan kewarganegaran nya dan biarkan beliau terus menjadi agen CIA, ya memang benar beliau ada lah agen CIA dan TDM sedar akan hakikat ini! Sudah lah saya sudah bosan menulis!Pasqualehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02023178136515254869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-1164988257058949922006-12-01T23:50:00.000+08:002006-12-01T23:50:00.000+08:00Dear rocky and other readers, Salam and selamat se...Dear rocky and other readers, <BR/><BR/>Salam and selamat sejahtrah,<BR/><BR/>I just wish that in making our comments, we limit it to the topic at hand.The topic is about the accomplishment of Nicol David, and our hope that she gets the official recognition that she deserves. <BR/><BR/>But, alas that is not to be. <BR/><BR/>Some commentators have decide to drag in other unsavoury issues, which at a cursory glance condemns racial discrimination, but upon closer inspection participates in exactly the kind of racist mentality that they condemn others of. Under the guise of anti- racism, they are making racist comments.<BR/><BR/>To them i ask only this:<BR/><BR/>PLEASE STOP MAKING RACIST ANTI-RACIST COMENTS<BR/><BR/>And since a lot of people have decided to get side track by other issues which strictly speaking are out of topic i would like to share a very brief list of people who deserve official recognition but are not acknowledge and those who get recognition totally out of proportion to their accomplishments. <BR/><BR/>It includes, to name a few, the following:<BR/><BR/>1) Wang Gangwu- Eminent academic, who was fomerly of UM. Later became Vice- Chancellor of the University of Hong Kong, and and was given the the post of Emiritus Professor by Australian National University. widely regarded as one of the worlds foremost expert in his field. <BR/><BR/>Deserves at least a Tan Sri but to the best of my knowledge doesnt even have a Datuk<BR/><BR/>2) Prof Syed Naguib al-Attas-emminent academic and activist. Brainchild the Islamic International University(UIA),UKM and one the most responsible individual in the creation of ABIM.Internationally sought after academic, who even in the 70s and 80s,at a point in time when hardly anyone has heard of Malaysia, was already giving TV interviews to the BBC. Deserves at least a Tan Sri, arguably even a Tun, but doesnt even have a Datuk. And to add insult to injury, was force to a leave UIA recently under dubious accusations. Oh, by the way, he was the fellow who design UMNO's flag. If only UMNO members knew, understood and abided by the values and philosophy behind the symbols of thier party flag they would have been ashamed of what transpired during the last and dozens of other Umno General Assembly <BR/><BR/>3]Dr Bahar Munip-holder of multiple degrees, a number of masters and PHD's and former Secetary General of AARDO-an international organization set up in 1962,to help fight poverty, hunger, illiteracy, disease among rural people of the world<BR/><BR/>And those who have been given titles and other form of official recorgnition for god knows what or out of proportion to thier services :<BR/><BR/>1) Azhar Mansor<BR/>2) Siti Nurhaliza <BR/>3) Michelle Yeoh<BR/>4) Malik Maideen<BR/>5) n too numberous to name politicians and businessman from all racial backgrounds<BR/><BR/>The list above in both categories are far from representative but it serves the simple point i'm trying to make that a lot of awards given doesnt correspond to the services or contribution of the individual. This injustice happens to a lot of people whether they are Malay, Chineses, etc-etc.<BR/><BR/>Official recognition is also inconsistant not only to individuals, but also to professions- too much national attention is given to sports and entertainment for instance and to little to schorlarly ( which include hard cold research) or voluntarary activities. <BR/><BR/>Now please tell me which is more important to the quality of our lives, people who contribute to our understanding of ourselves and our enviroment or people who kick a ball, or sing, or act in foreighn movies or for that matter swing a squash racket?<BR/><BR/>So lets hope that Nicole gets what she deserve, but in the event she does not,please avoid making chargers of racial discrimination. She desrves it alot more than others, but at the same time thier exist others also who deserve recognition more than she does.<BR/><BR/>In fact i dare say, that for those who see racist connotations in every knook and cranny are in fact closet racist themselves, for what they see externally are but mirrors of thier own soul.<BR/><BR/>PS- I too am guilty of sidetracking from the main topic and for that my appologies, but i feel that it is my duty as a responsible citizen, to respond to certain racist insinuations built upon false assumptions or skewered perspective. Failure to do so would imply that those accusations, some implied and some explicit, will pass on as fact.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-1164971902915948952006-12-01T19:18:00.000+08:002006-12-01T19:18:00.000+08:00anonymous, you racist pig. your statement is total...anonymous, you racist pig. your statement is totally uncalled for. this is about whether or not nicol deserve the datukship title. its never about her being a non-bumi or chinese or indian for that matter. michelle yeoh is now a datuk for one and guess what?
