Bumiputera or Bumiputra is embracing indigenous people of the Malay Archipelago. It is also translated as "sons of the soil". It recognized the "special position" of the Malays provided in the Federal Constitution of Malaysia, in particular Article 153. But, the constitution does not use the term "bumiputra"; it defines only "Malay" and "aborigine" (Article 160(2)),[1] "natives" of Sarawak (161A(6)(a)),[2] and "natives" of Sabah (Article 161A(6)(b)).[2] Definitions of bumiputra in public use vary among different institutions, organizations, and government departments and agencies. (Indo-Chinese=South Thailand, Philipino=Sabah)

Seven years ago, on 11th October 2003, the PAP Malay MPs together with their Mendaki organisation formed a Community Leaders Forum project following a series of focus group discussions to discuss issues and strategies to propel the Malay community forward. The event was graced and witnessed by then Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong.

The PAP Malay MPs devised four four sectoral networks and split the responsibilities of leading each network amongst themselves. The networks focused on the areas of Education, Youth, Family and Employability.

In 2004, the PAP Malay MPs formed the CLF Steering Committee to implement a coordinated framework to facilitate the collaborative efforts across all sectoral networks.

The Community Leaders Forum Steering Committee is chaired by none other than Dr Yaacob Ibrahim, Minister for the Environment and Water Resources and Minister-In-Charge of Muslim Affairs. His role was to provide guidance and overall direction for the networks in implementing various CLF programmes.

Yayasan MENDAKI was designated the role as the CLF Secretariat. Each of the other PAP Malay MPs was to serve as Co-Chairperson of the respective network. Masagos Zulkifli and Hawizi Daipi were designated as co-chairmen of the Education Network. Over the last seven years, both Masagos and Hawizi are known to have implemented no major policy in the education area. Whatever they may claim to have done also did not close any gap in the education achievements of Malays and other ethnic groups. Seven years is ample time to bring major reforms and achieve decent leaps in outcomes in education area.

PAP Malay MPs Zaqy Mohamed and Fathimah Lateef were designated as co-chairpersons of Youth Development. From the beginning it was never clear what that meant. Nevertheless the opportunities that Malay youth require and the Malay youth capabilities that needs to be developed are not little or trivial. Instead the backwardness of Malay youth in educational achievements, their high representation in crime, their job issues, their addiction problems etc etc clearly provide ample areas for both Zaqy and Fatimah to work on. Once again both PAP Malay MPs have never implemented any major policy for Malay Youths in the last seven years even though they were co-chairpersons in charge of Malay Youth Development.

Maliki Osman and Faishal Ibrahim were two other PAP MPs who were designated the role of co-chairmen to lead the area of Malay Families Development. Again the agenda for this was never clear from the beginning. Yet the high rate of divorce in Malays, employment issues, health issues etc clearly provided ample areas for the two Malay MPs to work on and bring change. Both Maliki and Faishal never implemented any major policy to improve various dismal conditions of Malay Families. There has also been no improvement in outcomes of Malay Families from any of the work that Maliki or Faishal may claim to have done in the last seven years.

Halimah Yacob, Zainudin Nordin and Ahmad Magad were appointed to lead as co-chairpersons looking at Malay employability. Of the three, only Halimah attempted some minor efforts but then also in her other capacity for labour. The three PAP Malay MPs had not major policies in the last seven years to improve Malay employability. They achieved no serious improvement in Malay employability in the last seven years either.

Abdullah Tarmuggi and Zainul Abidin Rasheed were supposed to serve as resource persons though it was never clear from the beginning what that was supposed to mean.

The Community Leaders Forum was an excellent platform for the PAP Malay MPs to have brought reforms at least in some scale to the Malay community. More importantly they had ample resources and time over the last seven years. PAP’s claim for single party rule has been how fast they can move in policy making and implementing with the absence of opposition. The failure of PAP Malay MPs to have brought zero reforms to Malay community simply proves single party rule will not guarantee fast reforms.

These PAP Malay MPs’ combined salary for the last seven years comes to close to $50million. An enormous amount of Singaporeans’ resources for absolutely zero reforms and zero change in outcomes.

The supporters of PAP Malay MPs have totally no basis to justify their claims that no other party can do better than PAP Malay MPs. When it is clear the PAP Malay MPs have not achieved anything at all in the last seven years, there is nothing which equates to achieving less than nothing. Hence any opposition party stands to present Malay MPs who can achieve as poorly or better than PAP MPs. No opposition party can quite present Malay MPs who will achieve worse than PAP Malay MPs. That is practically impossible given PAP Malay MPs have not changed any outcomes in Malay community despite their complete control of parliament and government agencies, full range of resources, full control of media and incredibly high salaries.

All citizens shall enjoy equal rights and should be enjoyed together resources Malaysia, commented Nalini M and Kohila of Shout. Until this change occurs, Malaysia Today is just another public holiday in many, many public holidays in Malaysia.

16 September 2010, was the first time Malaysia Day will be celebrated with public holidays. This holiday is a political game of the National Front for encouraging the people of Sabah and Sarawak since 16 September is just the correctness of the day free for the people of Sabah and Sarawak.

Let us look back in history of Malaysia. Malaya gained independence in 1957. Independence is the independence of Malaya Emergency. At the same time the communist influence is spreading in Southeast Asia and the Fron Socialist and Communist ideology is still fresh in Malaya. Then, by controlling the communist movement and to ensure Borneo, Singapore and Malaya was still under their control, the British idea of Malaysia. At the beginning of Brunei was included once in the formation of Malaysia will be but at the last moment they pull out because of objections of the people of Brunei. Singapore, Sabah and Sarawak agree with because if not independence can not be obtained.

The British plan was also opposed by Indonesia and the Philippines because they see Malaysia as the British Empire in Southeast Asia. Not only that, Sulawesi and surrounding islands of Indonesia and the Philippines for grabs. However, all opposition was overcome and the formation of Malaysia on 16 September 1963. During establishment, the government of Malaya has a lot of promise to Singapore, Sabah and Sarawak. But after that dream has turned into a nightmare. In 1965, Singapore has come out of Malaysia because of dissatisfaction with the Federal Government. The people of Sabah and Sarawak are still alive to suffer even after 47 years in federal Malaysia.

Enough with the history. Now let us look at 47 years of the establishment of Malaysia: what are the advantages to the people of Malaysia and any tricks behind mengisythirakan 16 September 2010 as a public holiday?

All these changes are due to changes made by the people since March 2008 in which the People's Alliance has seized the five states of Perak BN even a year later was taken back through the back door by the BN. After the defeat of BN significantly in the last general election, he was aware that they can not ignore the feelings of ordinary people as not significant. In fact, the federal government still under the BN as votes obtained from the people of Sabah and Sarawak. In fact, the former stronghold of Johor BN has to be penetrated by the Pakatan Rakyat.

This situation has been used by the People's Alliance and the ordinary people to say that the PR will only need a little support from the Sabah and Sarawak to take over the federal government. It was scary BN. Not only that, the winds of change that swept Peninsular Malaysia has also come to Sabah and Sarawak. This means that the fixed deposit (fixed votes) BN in Sabah and Sarawak defendant. Furthermore, when the question of rights, history and the poverty of the people of Sabah and Sarawak, especially the indigenous people in question, the BN had a sense it can not be silent anymore. Sweets should be given to the people of Sabah and Sarawak. Then leave for Malaysia Day and 1Malaysia introduced to ensure all people are equal.

However, 53 years after the independence of Malaya and Malaysia 47 years after the establishment, whether the people now?

The issue of racism was the main agenda of political parties. Discrimination is still prevalent among Malaysians. Although the state of Sabah and Sarawak are part of Malaysia but it is the poorest state with the lowest socio-economic. The findings Nations Development Programme (UNDP) shows that the most serious poverty in Malaysia is among the indigenous communities in Sabah and Sarawak. Sarawak is a state that has a lot of natural resources like oil, gas and timber and is a country with great potential to become the most developed state in Malaysia, but the people there really pathetic. According to statistics, in Sabah and Sarawak, there are still many villages are not connected by roads and more than a quarter of households do not have access to electricity.

In addition, more than 40 percent of households in Sabah and Sarawak are still no clean water facilities and water treatment. According to statistics, about 25.254 people in Sarawak still do not have identity documents that involve the local communities that do not apply and the foreign residents who have long lived in the state.

The concept of citizenship based on race have long threatened the indigenous groups of the other, including the Iban in Sarawak and the Kadazan-Dusun in Sabah, as well as non-Malay ethnic groups in Peninsular Malaysia, such as the Orang Asli. Because of the Kadazan-Dusun indigenous groups and others are the 'natives' in Sabah and Sarawak, they are also entitled to the rights of 'indigenous' as enshrined in the constitution, not only in Sabah and Sarawak but also in Peninsula Malaysia. However, whether this occurs? No.

So it seems, racial discrimination occurs in all corners of the country and the government instituted by the government to ensure that people are not united and are always jealous and suspicious of one another. Divide and rule at the top to ensure their safe operation. Resources and the country's wealth is controlled and enjoyed by a few while the majority of the people suffer. The persecution of indigenous people in Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak are increasingly severe, and their rights violated.

Enough already of this situation. Changes must be taken by the people. 16 September is not enough public holiday to celebrate Malaysia Day. We need more than that. All citizens shall enjoy equal rights and should be able to enjoy a source of Malaysia together. Until this change occurs, Malaysia Today is just another public holiday in many, many public holidays in Malaysia.
