Who is uniting the people & who is dividing?


According to reports, Dong Jiao Zong's objection to the teaching of science and mathematics in English at the primary school level has gained support from Indian groups and prominent Malay intellectuals like Hassan Ahmad. At the same time, Umno Youth's Information Bureau chief Azimi Daim is reported to have warned Dong Jiao Zong not to "dragged other races" into its campaign.

Is it not clear that it is Umno which is trying to continue the divide-and-rule strategem of the bygone colonial era? Is it not clear also that Dong Jiao Zong has succeeded in uniting more and more Malaysians of all races on the issue?

Unfortunately for Umno's Anglophiles separuh masak (half-baked) and tiruan (imitative), there is now no more Anglo-Malayan Defence Agreement for them to invoke and to call in the Commonwealth Strategic Reserve and King's African Rifles to suppress the "native rebellion" of 2,000 "Malay extremists", "Chinese chauvinists" and "Tamil trouble-makers" who are going to meet peacefully and to form a united front tomorrow inside a huge private property.
