Fcuking Racist !

BR and BS — Tay Tian Yan

DEC 10 — “Bloody Racist!” That was how Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz called Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

And I would like to crown it with a 5-star rating, an absolute top quote of the year!

Recalling what Dr Mahathir said and did during his political career spanning half a century, these two words seem so all-inclusive and appropriate.

And Nazri has enlightened and invigorated everyone of us with the latest nickname he has conferred the former PM.

While being an underclass colloquialism, the English word “bloody” is nevertheless an excellent true-to-life expression applicable by people from the underclass to the intelligentsia and nobles.

The word itself doesn’t carry its own meaning; neither does it have a specific word when translated into another language. It is most definitely not “something blood-stained.”

It is, of course, a reinforcing adjective which can be loosely interpreted as “disgusting,” “damned it,” or “fxxx,” among others.

Of course, the highlight lies with the word that immediately trails it, which, if matched properly, should serve to depict the situation in a much more vivid manner.

For instance, the “bloody racist” Nazri has called Dr Mahathir could be understood as — in a lighter way —”the disgusting racist,” or — in a heavier manner — “the fxxxxxg racist.”

Is Dr Mahathir a racist? If even his Umno comrade has said so, that shouldn’t be so much a question anymore! And Mahathir has indeed admitted that he is a racist!

It doesn’t really matter that much if he was just trying to play it cheap, so long as he didn’t drag the country’s honour with him.

Sure enough, we have racists all around us, and this is nothing new.

Not if the racist is not having all the power with him!

During his 22-year tenure as the helmsman of the nation, Dr Mahathir indeed messed up inter-racial relationship, so much so that the word “polarisation” has become a common word in many people’s mouths.

If we were to hold someone responsible, who else if not Dr Mahathir?

Let’s put aside what is now a bygone. Anyone with the slightest rationality and common sense would rise up and hit hard at the national brainwash centre — Biro Tatanegara (BTN) — for chronically instilling racist ideologies and inciting ethnic emotions among its multiracial followers.

Only people like Dr Mahathir and his fellow hawks in Umno, along with Utusan Malaysia and Berita Harian, would throw their full support behind BTN and wax lyrical on its “great contributions.”

Where lies their motive? Where lies their conscience?

Don’t forget: BTN was brought up in the hands of Dr Mahathir.

This “Rosemary’s Baby” was indeed Dr Mahathir’s blue-eyed baby!

Nazri should be lauded for saying the right thing and finding the right definition for “BR.”

The weird thing is, our Chinese and Indian ministers have had their lips largely zipped over the BTN issue!

This is typical “BS” — Bloody Stupid! — if you allow me to add. — mysinchew
