When Tunku Abdul Rahman changed his views on Malay rights

Before Merdeka, he believed Malaya should be for the Malays but he changed his perspective after independence, according to a new book.

PETALING JAYA: The nation’s first prime minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra, believed Malaya should be for the Malays but he changed his views after independence, according to a new book.

His government’s tolerance of non-Malays caused friction with Umno’s “ultras” – a term used at the time for Umno members seen to be holding staunch nationalist views.


Among the “ultras” were Dr Mahathir Mohamad, later to become prime minister twice, and Syed Jaafar Albar, known as the “lion of Umno”.

The Tunku’s more inclusive approach after Malaya gained independence was a stark contrast to his outlook before 1957, according to the book “Idealis: Syed Hamid Albar”, a biography of Syed Jaafar’s son, Syed Hamid Albar.

When the Alliance Party was formed in 1952, Tunku Abdul Rahman believed that Malaya was for the Malays and that it should not be governed by a multiracial group.

Malays must also safeguard their rights, he was reported as saying.

To move forward u HAVE to be inclusive. Departing from this reality n approach will cause set backs n downfall. We’ve been sliding since we go the other direction

Their final nail on the coffin is cooking racial sentiment via UMNO. Just looked at the current state of ore kito after 60+ years.

A. Grab
B. Fashionvalet

Malay, of coz B

Yes yes .. Malay bad, Chinese good.

further down we slide
slip slip away
not chess or even checkers,
it's more snakes than there are ladders
slip slip awaaaayyyyy

Kesian malay, dijajah for hundred years then forced to live with people who already have their own mainland country

first we are tiger, then sick tiger, then meow meow, now sick meow meow

Well someone told them so

Lel

😂🤭👀🍿🍷🍟

will never happen and our country will never be a developed country

forever be a developing country

ID, VN will or is already overtaking MY

soon in the same category as Sri Lanka, Laos,

It's not the issue of who is bad or good. History accounts what happen, why it happened. Not if it should happen or not. If the race ratio reversed, who knows if something similar will happen or not? Don't be the young and stupid used by the old and bitter.

nope both need to come down and work together. Equal partners

As long as Singapore remains, Malaysia will alwyz remind the world about its racial and religious discrimination, unfair treatment and oppression of the non.

Singapore remains a thorn to Malaysia. That why these ketuanan alwyz wanna get rid of singapore, tat reminds them of their humiliating past.

the fact is simple. no one single race can go on it alone

they may be a proud race. but the fact is, they themselves know they need the other races

This is cancer. Sooner 1% need to tongkat 99% earth princeSS

u dah terkena racun politicians

it's not M vs C. it never was. it's just an excuse to gain power and turn the nation into a buffet

as long as all races don't work together, we will sink together

Playing both sides, nothing new

if you learn sejarah, you will know the Malays were the original settlers not the landowner.

We are all settlers just different phase of Malaya.

what happened to indon? did they sink?

Proven time and again

It is already done. Live with it!!

You got to accept the fate and move on.

Was it not humiliating when china was collapse cuz of opium?
Was it not humiliating when china and korea dijajah oleh japan?

They have moved on and become a superpower.

Yiu know the ultimate truth, theres no equal partner in Malaysia.

Last time there were no concept of negara like malaysia and indonesia, all freely migrates around the malay archipelago so you know who were the orang asal


I have since moved on and would like to have a competent leader regardless of race
In other words, I'm bored and just play some devil advocates or something people said

People already die. Write what also can la.

science already proven all humans migrate. there is no orang asal la dear. unless u hatch from the stone in the land

In our case, we have a clear view of what would hv been if we had gotten rid of race politics so no need to keep ponder whether our race policies r the right thing

Tip: Look south

What pity? What's forced?
Many countries in the world if not all have multicultural races except you want it to be like NK a hermit country. Many Malay also migrated from Indonesia. They are not the origin too.
If you can't accept that and keep harping on races Malaysia will left behind in many ways. We all will be in losing end.
If want to talk further human originated from Africa that make us all are not origin of Malaysia.

He let Singapore go.

That’s his forever regret bring into his grave

Imagine LKY were the one lead Malaysia instead of UMNO?

well, this is the doctrine that huruf ke 3 been teaching from kid and kopitiam lowyat is their echo chamber

if LKY lead MY, racing circuit will break all over Penisular Malaysia from Johor to Perlis

Until ppl start realizing the " Malay " represents not the entire population but rather their own cronies , we will be still in deep shit .

Kita mesti menjaga hak bumiputera, where thousands of ppl rally, actually for the selected few. These ppl rallying truly believe these previlages , bumi etc are for all but for selected few .

This causes Singapore to pull out became 1st world country and rich. While Malaysia still 3rd world country and poor.

I thought it was a condition by the British for independence?

What is done is done, need to stop dreaming about thing will getting better or can change anybody thinking, you can't. It will be only getting worse down the road, better start explore what the choice that you have and move on

What you remember about this lion fella unker 9m2w?

They need other races as subordinates. They lead, others follow. That's the problem. If we move as ONE united people, regardless of race and religion, all these problems wouldn't arise much

if u want to know single race supremacy, what become, just look at the state of current UMNO party, that is the refection of the dynamics of their governance.

Better than DAP under LKS use broom to campaign. Menyampah

that why within thier own party, all same race, all want to lead.. end how become PKR, BERSATU and many more..

fixed for u

till year 2999 still main kad kena tindas

depa tak kenang budi

BLA BLA BLA

hari hari kena penyakit Persecutory delusion

ada orang mau buat saya
