Our infamous Uncle Shit, Mr Ibrahim Ali is talking shit again. Pardon my language. We didnt entitle him with that title but it is actually self declared title. For those did not know this part of history, please be informed that he is famous for his line 'shit shit shit' ; uttered in an interview with Al Jazeera.
Playing his card well, his loyalty to his masters is beyond doubts. Who 'pays' him for his shitty statements is not an issue but what is he saying matters as his statements have been appearing as headlines for both mainstream and alternative media. (Does it really matter in the first place)
True he has the balls to bark in a press conference, leaving the journalists nodding their head for his intolerable and blatant racial remarks. Extremist Uncle Ibrahim Ali's balls shrink when comes to public. Never heard him moaning about 'Ketuanan Melayu' in any pasar malam (If anyone of you have heard it, buzz me please).
This 'big bang' man claims that he speaks behalf of Malays. Funny thing is the group he claims to be representing bashes him the worst compared to others.Its not a racial issue. Its merely personal opinion. We are still divided in the name of race and thats the reason opinions from jokers like him matters. When you see yourself as a Malay, Chinese, Indian, or lain lain, you feel challenged, feel insecured and have the urge to respond to him or defend your race identity.
Class stratification in term of race is ruling the society. The gap in term of race exists. We are reminded that we are different and thus we feel insecured whenever some people propagate and play these racial cards.
So where should we start from. How to get rid of this? How long do you think we need to champion our race cause? Why cant the cause form on a common platform? Giving in your race identity doesnt mean that we are giving in our culture and beliefs. Our religion is there as our reference point. you cant track down race. SO why hold tight on the race identity.
People like Ibrahim Ali is rising and holding the key to shake our peace because of the loops that we have created in the name of race. Why it should be 'I am a Malay, I am a Chinese, I am an Indian'? Why cant it be Im a Malaysian. how do you think this race thingy influence your life. Your beliefs and culture not inherinted from race but instead from your religion and geography.
No point calling Ibrahim Ali racist but we ourselves hold tight on race identity. Its just like pot calling the kettle black. He is extreme racist while we are mild racists. Thats all.
This has to change. The cause has to fall on people's welfare in general and not one particular ethnic's demands. If we have clear stand on this, Shitty Man will not be the champion again.
The suis to shut people like is within us. Lets correct ourselves and definitely people like him will be irrelevant. Anything based on one particular ethnic is paving way towards more racism.
