Funny how the Malay race and Muslims in Malaysia seems to be talking about survival, never about their racial and religious progression or development.........

A comfortable victory could lead to the formation of a strong government, and hence, making it possible for any policy to defend Islam and the Malays, as well as the poor in rural areas, be implemented.

(Bernama) - Umno must not only ensure victory at the next general election, but must also ensure comfortable victory in order to preserve the sovereignty of Islam and the survival of the Malays in the country, said Umno vice-president Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal.

He said a comfortable victory could lead to the formation of a strong government, and hence, making it possible for any policy to defend Islam and the Malays, as well as the poor in rural areas, be implemented.

The BN government will have problems to draft and approve new laws if it fails to maintain the two-third majority in the next general election, he said when winding up the debate at Umno General Assembly 2011 here today.

He also expressed confidence that BN was capable to win the next general election as it had been the most credible and trusted government with proven track record and was willing to carry out transformation for the wellbeing of the people.

The government has also proved its ability to face the economic crises in 1997 without taking any loan from the International Monetary Fund, he said.

He said while the United States and European countries were facing global economic downturn, Malaysia, under Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's leadership, had managed to record a Gross Domestic Product growth of 5.8 per cent in the third quarter this year.

Mohd Shafie, who is also Rural and Regional Development Minister, said Mara, an agency under the ministry, would also strive to increase the participation of young people in entrepreneurship, besides continue sponsoring excellent students to pursue their education abroad.

He also refuted the allegation that the prime minister was not fighting for the Malays, saying that Najib had approved an allocation of RM800 million for Mara students overseas, despite the initial application of RM500 million allocation made by Mara.

At this time of History, when a coloured man can become the President of the USA, this bloke is talking rubbish. Everyone should be equal. If he wants to be preserved with his AMNO comrades, why not build a supersize museum and preserved all of them there. ...

Malaysians must vote to KICK BN UMNO forever. UMNO has been bullying MCA & MIC and other components. The country has seen today is slowly turning, from many of the implementations & rulings done, from a democratic country to a more secular Islamic country. I hold no grouses of this country declare Islam as its official religious but not practising it secularly in the law and that its Islamic-religion leaders from UMNO is practicing a double standard. Time to kick out UMNO but keep MCA, MIC, Gerakan dan other miniority BN parties from East Malaysia. Vote Pakatan- PKR, DAP & PAS for a change in 50 years. ...

Funny how the Malay race and Muslims in Malaysia seems to be talking about survival, never about their racial and religious progression or development. That bad huh? Mind you that they are not even the minorities. They must become endangered species..... I heard of red Indians speaking about their survival in USa even the murud and minority Dayak sects speaking about it in Sarawak, but not from a race which constitutes more than half it's entire population, nor when it's religion is the national and official religion o f the c country...... ..

I am dead exhausted of hearing about Malays and Islam. Can't we just focus on what is right and wrong. Corruption is wrong and UMNO must GO

Cronysm is disgusting and UMNO must GO

Plundering the nations wealth for enriching oneself is unacceptable and UMNO must GO

Leaders without a conscience leads the nation to hell and so UMNO must disappear from the surface of earth. ...

Racist misusing Islam through UMNO to incite fear of fellow Malaysians amongst Malays again! That's why UMNO and these racists must be booted out as the ruling government for the good of all Malaysians! These desperate bastards have nothing else new to offer Malaysians except racism and abusing Islam! ...
