Racism - typical of saying one thing, displaying another

Excerpt from The Star Online

Tabung Haji rapped for using non-bumi company

KUALA LUMPUR: Umno Youth executive council member Datuk Azimi Daim hit out at Tabung Haji for engaging a non-bumiputra company to supply mineral water for free to delegates and guests at the Umno general assembly.

Azimi queried the rationale for engaging a non-bumi company when all the investors in Tabung Haji are Muslims.

“Don’t tell me there is no single Malay company that is capable of sourcing mineral water. Even I can dig a well, and collect mineral water,” he said when debating the Umno president's policy speech on Wednesday.

Azimi pointed out that Tabung Haji’s move to engage a non-bumiputra company to supply easily available product like water, was not in line with party president Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi’s call to GLCs to jointly shoulder the responsibility to develop the bumiputra commercial and industrial community.
....

He quoted the prime minister, who told Malaysians to see themselves are Malaysians - not according to races. I wonder if the prime minister would address this...or just let it be - AGAIN.

ACT!

Going against or disagreeing with one another, even if both are in the same party is a courageous thing to do, especially with the political system back home. This is not a retaliation from me, but rather, something that I think can be built and improved upon. There are thousands of members in a party. and I am sure that saying everyone agree with each other in suggestions/opinions would be a LIE. Having differences is not a bad thing! with differences, you can hear each other out, and come to a consensus!

Just because the powerful few says this and that doesn't mean that they are right all the time! listen to yourself, listen to the people who have put their trust in you - listen to them..and THINK ! THINK THINK THINK!

And don't simply quote the 'powerful' people to support your statements-lah. If they are sound enough, they will resonate on their own.

and those powerful ppl being quoted, don't simply let others use your quotes or ideas inappropriately lah.

blergh
