BULLSHIT!
COWDUNK!

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 27
I am one of the
privileged few to have
attended a local public university and learned the meaning
of hate, thanks
to the ever popular Biro Tata Negara.
All undergraduates were
forced to attend
this programme or else they would not be eligible for
graduation.
The BTN under the Prime
Minister’s Department
brought in “intellectual” speakers who were supposed to
enlighten the
students about the meaning of being a Malaysian but instead
it felt more
like a communist propaganda camp brainwashing those
attending about the
importance of “Ketuanan Melayu”.
The camp would usually take
place during
the weekends. Students would have to register early in the
morning and
the programme would last the whole day.
The organisers were always on
their guard,
asking participants to show their student identification
cards each time
they entered the hall, fearing the presence of
outsiders.
In the hall, students were
asked to turn
off their mobile phones.
During the lectures,
questions were planted
among the audience and the students were advised not to ask
any other questions.
One speaker began with the
history of Malaysia
and how much the country had gone through, always
emphasising the May 13
riots.
He stressed the point of how
much the Malays
had sacrificed and how the community should be united
especially from outside
threat — the Chinese community.
He said that the Chinese
community were
“the Jews of Asia” and were just itching to take over
when Malays were
disunited and broken.
The speaker also revealed a
greater Chinese
conspiracy where the Chinese Malaysians were working
together with Singapore
to topple the Malay government.
“Do you want to become like
the Malays
in Singapore?” he asked.
He also went so far as to
criticise Malay
girls for dating boys from other races.
He added that they should not
be cheap
and embarrass their families.
Once, a student told the
speaker that as
Muslims, we should also respect other races who are also
Muslims.
“All Muslims are Malays so
it does not
matter if they are Chinese or Indians. If they are Muslims
then they are
Malays,” the speaker replied.
This is why I was relieved
when I learned
that the Selangor government had moved to ban its civil
servants, employees
of state subsidiaries and students at state-owned education
institutions
from attending any BTN courses with immediate
effect.
However I believe racism in
varsities does
not end at BTN because classrooms have also become victims
of ignorant
scholars.
My friend was verbally abused
during his
sociology class when he did not agree with the points made
by his lecturer.
“You must be DKK,” the
lecturer told
him.
“What is DKK?” he
asked.
“You must be darah
keturunan keling (descendents
of Indians),” the lecturer said, pointing to his dark
skin.
My Saudi friend was also
shocked by the
comments made by his lecturer in his Islamic civilisation
class.
“We should save our Orang
Asli from the
Chinese people. They are like the Palestinians and the
Chinese are Israel.
We must fight the Jews,” the lecturer told his
students.
The lecturer even failed one
of his students
in his oral exam when he quoted a Western scholar in his
presentation.
“You should be ashamed of
yourselves.
You are a Muslim and should only use Islamic scholars,”
he scolded the
student.
I was personally saddened
when my Islamic
law lecturer compared Christianity to Head &
Shoulder’s 3 in 1 shampoo in referring to the religion’s Holy Trinity.
I feel that racism has been
institutionalised
in our country and that BTN is only the tip of the
iceberg.
Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri
Muhyiddin
Yassin defended BTN yesterday and claimed that it was not
racist but is
line with the 1 Malaysia concept.
I have to humbly disagree and
would like
to suggest maybe the ministers should bring their overseas
children home
and let them have a taste of what BTN is.
