Pak Samad: Umno playing race card on Bersih 2.0

Umno, the commanding political party in the BN, is using the threat of Malays losing their political power to shore up its support base in countering the electoral reform demanded by Bersih 2.0, says national laureate A Samad Said.

Any implementation of the eight demands by Bersih 2.0, which includes postal voting reform, a major source of votes for the ruling coalition, is expected to erode its stranglehold on power.

"This (racial politics) is often raised by Umno. Most recently (with Bersih 2.0), there were also suggestions that Malay (political) power was being eroded," Samad said.

yang bagi rezeki tu Allah S.W.T., bukan UMNO. Majikan, boss, CEO, Kerajaan itu diberikan amanah untuk menyalurkan bantuan dalam bentuk wang atau apa pun secara adil dan membuat keputusan secara saksama. Orang beli karya dia sbb dia hebat, Allah bagi kecerdikan dan rezeki kpd dia bukan Kerajaan UMNO, BN atau PR. Yang belot Melayu adalah Melayu yang penuh hasad dengki yang tidak dapat mencerna pendapat dan idea yang berlainan.

@Hilm4n Anak kecil main api Terbakar hatinya yang sepi Air mata darah bercampur keringat Bumi dipijak milik orang Nenek moyang kaya-raya Tergadai seluruh harta benda Akibat sengketa di antara kita Cinta lenyap di arus zaman Indahnya bumi kita Warisan berkurun lamanya Hasil mengalir ke tangan yang lain Kita kan merintih sendiri
