Part 2: The Empty Throne

 

 

In the last post I've said that the article 153, was a crutch that would help the Malays to walk, after having their legs cut off. Was it the British that cut off our legs? Or was it someone else. 

All this while in the history text books of both public and private schools in Malaysia, thought us that it was really them. The British, The Portuguese, The Dutch and The Japanese was at fault. Their invasion and occupation of the 'Malay Land', was the reason why the Malays are left stranded out of the train of progress. Although I think that was part of the factor, I do not however think that was the main reason.

For the blame of our demise in the pictures of history was at best the fault of our kings and sultans. It is them who unknowingly, pull back the rest of us. It has been hidden from the facts of all the children of Malaysia. I blame them for what happened to us, and it is them that distorted the growth on my country and my beloved countrymen.

The first incident came when during the invasion of the Portuguese, that Sultan Mahmud Shah of the great Malacca Empire, fled the city, leaving his advisers to defend it, even his wife Tun Fatimah, lead part of the army to battle, but he himself fled to Johor. What coward of a leader. Then he later added insult to injury, as it was him who called on the Dutch to help him regain the City of Malacca.

When the British came many years later, they were only trading in Malaya, they had no real intentions of ever invading it. However the civil war that broke among the land, was bad for their business. Again it was the failure to apprehend this civil war which allow the British (under East India Trading Company) a way in our country. Looking for an easy way out of crushing the wars, the Sultan of Perak and Selangor called upon the help of the British in return for control of trade and port of their region. Why do we look up to these idiots.

In the state of Kedah, there was a power struggle with the nearby kingdom of Siam (now Thailand). The keep the Thai at bay, the Sultan of Kedah struck a deal with the British commander 'Sir Francis Light'. Sir Francis Light would supply the arms and means to defend against the Siamese, whilst in return, he would be able to take on a lease for the island of Pinang, for an amount equivalent to RM 10,000 today, paid to the Sultan personally and not the State of Kedah. He would also add on the contract that this deal will last as long there is the sun, the moon and stars in the skies (which means forever).

All Sultans of all the Federation states of Malays would then accept British residents in their court, which mitigate their power. This soon led to the installation of Governors of British in each state, signalling the official control of the British Empire on Malaya. All this not only the cunning plan of the westerners, but it was the leadership failure that made this possible.

Also in the text books they made out that the Johor sultanate was some what of a hero, for refusing the British rule, they were for a while, but then invasion comes in all kinds of form. For their bravery, the queen of England offered them her friendship. Being cocky (till now they are proud of this), they let up. First to the Chinese who came here to do business. He sold the mines, the tin mines that belonged to the people, to the Chinese, this was the huge source of wealth to the Malaysian Chinese (for the main source is that of their own skills, even as a Malay, I have to admit and respect this). They sold it for their personal gain, for the income like in Kedah goes to the Sultan and not the state of Johor. Then comes the biggest blunder in the history of Malaya, because of their friendship with England, they thought it would be best to sell to them, the island of Singapore. Imagine if you would if we still had Singapore or economy would be for better off then what it is today. (Both proceeds goes to build the KPJ group in Malaysia)

The conclusion that I am trying to make is that we should change the structure of this country and throw out these so called kings and sultans, for they are nothing but a burden to Malaysia, it's people and it's economy. They burn through our taxes, like a fire burn through hair. For example the new palace that took RM 2 Billion to build, it sure does not look like RM 2 Billion, in fact I would not say a cent over RM 24 Million. Then again who is to question them, it's their right.

The Main purpose of the Kings and Sultan, is to uphold our religious rights and act as the symbol of the Malay superiority, however that is a load of crap. I attended Kolej Tuanku Ja'afar, a prestigious private schools for rich ass brats, and I met a couple of the Sultan's kings. These people are suppose to be the symbol of Malays right, well to my surprise, none of them could even understand the Malays language, therefore how are they to act as our symbol. As for the religious part, I think they represent more of the Christians then the Muslims, by the manner of their behavior of the wild life. All of us know their stories.

How can these people stand for us, when all they do is stand for their own. I stand by what I said, they should be dismantled for the better of my beloved Malaysia.

I have composed a poem to help me put this post to a close.

The King is Dead

As I lay down my sights,
to the embodiment of my land,
They told me that God had sent,
us Kings to lead us to glory,
and save us from the struggling of poverty,

For a shock flow through me,
like a lightning struck,
for all that was true,
are now just lies,

For I discovered now,
that the kings from God,
had long since died,
and what remains are just,
imposters on the throne,
with their devil's eyes.

With that Assalamualaikum.
