Tun M’s latest prophecy: Malaysian of Chinese descent can become PM as early as GE17

WHILE retired DAP supremo Tan Sri Lim Kit Siang does not expect a non-Malay to become a Prime Minister (PM) of Malaysia “during my lifetime or even my children’s lifetime”, former twice premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is seeing that happening over the next 10 years or so.

In a rebuttal to his deemed mouthpiece, veteran journalist and blogger Datuk A. Kadir Jasin for “happily telling the Malays to accept the fact that Tanah Melayu no longer exists” in the latter’s social media post, the Proklamasi Melayu chief advocate warned that “a Malaysian of Chinese descent could possibly become the PM by GE17 (17^th General Election)”.

“A multi-racial country will not belong to all races. It will be owned by the Chinese. The reason is that they are smarter and richer than the Malays or Indians. Don’t dream that the current comfort life of the Malays will last forever,” penned Dr Mahathir in a letter addressed to Kadir.

“Even the Americans and Europeans fear that the world will be owned and controlled by the Chinese. In Malaysia they’re in control of the national economy. In addition to the economy, they are able to manipulate the Malays (who can be easily bribed) in politics. We are seeing this happening now,” he observed while snubbing Kadir:

“It is not impossible that after GE16, they will establish their puppet government in this country. Possibly by GE17, a Malaysian of Chinese descent will become the PM. But then it’s okay. Aren’t they Malaysians, too?”

The country’s fourth and seventh premier who reigned for close to a quarter century further cast fear over the ‘fading away’ of Malay culture and customs.

“When they dominate the country, our customs cannot be defended,” lamented Dr Mahathir. “Not only that we can no longer make the call to prayer but roast suckling pig will also be served at public functions. Nothing wrong with that, right? We are forbidden to eat but not forbidden to see.

“In Singapore the mufti had to admit that just serving is okay,” revealed Dr Mahathir with a tinge of sarcasm. “In fact, there are already those who suggest that Bak Kut Teh should be recognised as a national heritage food. Most of us know that Bak Kut Teh is related to pork herbal soup.”

Sharing his concern about the Singapore experience, Dr Mahathir added: “Singapore made Malay as their national language. But the school uses English entirely. Singaporean Malay children can no longer speak Malay.” – July 22, 2023
