THE BAR COUNCIL'S SOCIAL CONTRACT FORUM

My take is as follows:

  1. The Malaysian Bar Council’s interference/ involvement in the country’s politics should be neutralized, after which if failed the Government should proceed with the next alternative mission – seek and destroy …….oops better still annihilate. We have now Hyde Parks organized the MBC.

  1. The promiscuous behavior of the MBC should be left to the defecto law minister to handle. If Zaid Ibrahim is not being able to so within the month due to his close associated with MBC, he should resign and be replaced a hard liner. Similarly, PM should with immediate effect pronounce the death of all his reforms which have directly and indirectly have contributed MBC (read as its errant members) and their kind to have caused all the political uncertainty otherwise he will share the same fate with Zaid. UMNO cannot remain silent instead UMNO should demonstrate its radical stand, no more pussy, pussy talk. Enough is enough; blaze away the smoke screen of political MBC! So thumbs up for Muhyidin Yasin who wants the Home Ministry to disallow open forums discussing the social contract and Ketuanan Melayu.

  1. The MBC should also be neutralized from inside i.e by its members who do not subscribe to its promiscuous behavior on such issues as Malay Rights and Islam in relation to those provisions enshrined in the constitution by aggravating the organization. I agree with Dr Mohd Ali Rustam and Hishammuddin Tun Hussein stand as per Utusan Melayu. Other legal (law) organizations and Malay based NGO should also come forward to suppress MBC.

  1. If MBC is being politicized by its members, there is no reason for the MBC not be neutralized politically from within and outside MBC. Interference/ pressure from foreign elements and the political based parties promoting Malaysian Malaysia or Ketuanan Rakyat would be enormous, so what, when the Melayu and their rights are being questioned derogatory and repeatedly causing insult, despise and hatred. Thus the need of Malays NGO’s and MSM and alternative media to come forward and blow up the issue. Funny I could find any write up on this in Sunday Times, for sure under Kali the paper has lost its priority covering instead “Khairy eyes top Youth post”= Bull shit!

  1. I lost my temper in reading Star’s comment on the discussion:

Ms. Pundekcherry has wrongly interpreted “the notion of ketuanan Melayu, advanced by certain groups in Umno to give credence to their view that it is the only party able to protect Malay interests, had been shattered on March 8.” On that date to me and many others, it was PM and his SIL who were shattered. The Malays can be united again easily under Ketuanan Melayu the moment those two are replaced. So guys, any one wants her cherry up for grabs?

Mr Kua sees only from his prospective of Malaysian Malaysia, let him believe in his fantasy world; he and his type will never endorse Malaysia for what it is today.

Tommy Thomas has a short memory when he suggested that “the March 8 election results showed that voters had had enough of Umno's uninterrupted power over the years”. What about in the GE 11 results just past 4 years before then? The main difference being PM, SIL and 1st family decimated BN and UMNO; Tommy need not be discrete about his love for PM to stay longer in office to ensure credence to his believes! Whose corporate work are you legally advising now, Tommy?

I support Dr Farish remarking “It is UMNO that thinks if there is no UMNO, Malays will die. But we have seen that even without UMNO, Malays continue to live.” I would not disagree with Dr. Farish but with a different perspective “UMNO is just a party whose strength depends on the members sharing its ideals and visions”. PM has failed to just do that in his blindness to leave a legacy of nepotism and cronyism albeit the 1st family’s plundering while clamoring “support the President, not UMNO”.

It should be noted that Dr Farish and Thomas shared the belief that “the social contract was real and was redeemable, even as it was being constantly challenged, re-interpreted, revised and recontextualised”. However, Dr Farish said the entry of religion into politics had put a strain on the social contract.

Irrespective to Dr Farish remarks, I would believe that if any changes to the social contract, it is the Malays through UMNO to decide what and when (as purported by Mukhriz) and I don’t see it coming during my lifetime for inequality will always exist, every where and every moment for Man to submit to His Will lest the world will come to an end; that’s Allah’s decree.
