Aiya.. Misquoted again...

Would you believe it?

DPM Muhyidin Yassin calling the Chinese ingrates despite all the money poured in to the community during the Bukit Gantang by-election.

Then today in Malaysiakini he said that the Chinese press had twisted his words... Ya la.. you blardy chinese press do not understand Bahasa Malaysia! HERE and HERE

Okay.. okay.. we do not understand Bahasa Malaysia... so? Government has failed.. why? Because they have instituted that we ALL learn Bahasa Malaysia and pass the subject with at least a credit to get Grade 1 or else if you fail Bahasa Malaysia, you fail the entire exam!

So lets see what he said.

He also denied saying the Chinese were ungrateful in the interview.

"No, no (I didn't say ungrateful). Did you read my Bahasa (Malaysia)? Even (deputy education minister) Wee Ka Siong knows Bahasa.

"In Bahasa, I said 'seolah-olah tak menghargai' (‘They seemed to be unappreciative').

"Tak menghargai" - Not appreciative... ungrateful... about the same to me.


"If you don't understand Bahasa, I can send you to school to understand it," he said.

Wow! He must be pretty mad... baru berapa hari saja jadi Timbalan Perdana Menteri dah nak tunjuk belang....

Then we read this HERE, where the speech was quoted in verbatim.

One of the questions posed to him, reproduced verbatim here was this: “Tetapi bukankah setiap kali pilihan raya kecil, permintaan kaum bukan Melayu dipenuhi, malah di Bukit Gantang walaupun peruntukan RM1juta diberikan tetapi kaum Cina tidak juga menyokong BN?”

Lets see, let me put his reply in layman's english, "Come on la.. everytime by-election, non-Malay request has always been fulfilled ma... even with 1mil instant noodles.. they still won't support us?

Oh.. so only during by-election you fulfil non-Malays requests.. other times you screw them for all they are worth and you expect them to support you... pretty interesting point of view.

His answer, among other things, was this: “Ya, kadang-kadang kita berasa terpedaya juga kerana zahirnya nampak macam ‘ok’, sambutan dengan tepukan gemuruh tetapi mungkin sudah ada tertanam dalam hati iaitu sesuatu tidak mudah hendak berubah, pokoknya masalah isu Perak terutamanya di kalangan masyarakat Cina yang mungkin telah dipengaruhi dengan sentimen simpati kepada Datuk Seri Ir.Mohamad Nizar Jamaluddin, kononnya dia ‘dijatuhkan’, lepas itu kononnya dasar memberi pegangan tanah selama 99 tahun dilihat dasar yang menguntungkan.

“Ini yang mungkin menyebabkan sukar BN mendapat sokongan walaupun kita fikir bila mereka hendak sekolah Cina dibantu, kita bantu, sepatutnya mereka membalas budi.

"This is what makes getting support tough for BN, when we think ah.. they need help for their Chinese school, we help.. so.. they should repay back with support ma"

Aiya.. DPM, like that ah.. your help NOT GENUINE.. expect something in return. But difficult la.. Ah Din.. you screw all these while and we have to wait for someone to die before we get something...

“Pada waktu itu, kita pun tidak berharap sokongan kaum Cina akan meningkat 40 peratus dan sebagainya cuma kita berharap ada peningkatan sedikit tetapi apa yang berlaku ia mencatatkan penurunan, macam tidak ada penghargaan terhadap apa yang kita lakukan.”

"Like not showing any gratitude to what we have done for them!" That is my translation... I wonder what other translation is there? Maybe Ah Din must attend english and chinese class to understand the other languages better or rather he take up Bahasa tuition to ensure that he uses more proper words la..

And where did the seolah-olah tidak menghargai thing come about?

Muhyidin, you fit the profile of an Umno member 100%. So, for us to hope for you to change your racist profile... I guess is non-existent. Keep up the good work. I am sure Malaysians will be able to see through you for what you are worth.

And, one more thing Ah Din.. OneMalaysia? Chew on it.
