KUALA LUMPUR, March 22 - Malay right-wing group Pertubuhan Pribumi Perkasa today threatened that it would react to the actions of those who chose to question Malay supremacy.
President Datuk Ibrahim Ali said that for the sake of "the country, race and religion, I am willing to be detained under the Internal Security Act" should Malay rights be challenged.
The Malay nationalist politician warned non-Malays to behave, if not then Malays would repay in kind.
"If they are polite, we will be polite. But if they are not, neither will we. If they are kurang ajar (ill-mannered), we too can be kurang ajar," said the Pasir Mas MP to cheers from the thousand-strong crowd.
Ibrahim as president of Perkasa had last year also called on other races to adapt to the local culture of Malays as they have already been given many rights and freedoms in this country.
Today, he added that those who questioned the issue of the special position of Malays were not acting in the name of justice.
"The truth is that justice has not yet come to Bumiputeras who have spent centuries being oppressed by colonial masters," he said.
The former Umno leader said that in the past, Malays had been reasonable with the colonial masters but that they would not tolerate "our heads being stepped on."
"We will not tolerate Bumiputeras losing face or our honour. Especially Malays and Islam, do not ever try to play around with these," he threatened

Who is more "kurang ajar" (literally means lack teachings or translated as ill-manner in this article)? Isn't he is the one who is ill-behaved? I hope he is not representing the Malay community or else he is certainly painting a very bad picture about the Malay community.Again, see how UMNO moron like this Pasir Mas MP, Ibrahim Ali is being so racist? And without doubt, he is getting away with such sedition despite inciting such strong racial hatred and threatening the security and stability of this country. Why? Because he is on the side of the people in office and the party in power. Isn't this another reason that Barisan Nasional should be voted out from the office?
Which foreign investment would have the right frame of mind to invest in a country that uphold inequality and injustice by definition of race ? No wonder Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to this country is diminishing.
If I was not mistaken, I remember Malaysia was one of the countries that protest against Apartheid system of South Africa in the past and why we see UMNO moron like this now insisting a devilish system that divide people base on race to be implemented, or should I say continue to be implemented in this country? How insensible this idiot to openly threatening the Non-Malays and jeopardise the already eroding racial harmony of this country?
This ideology of Ketuanan Melayu (Malay Supremacy) is Apartheid system in disguise!
We fully understand the needs to close economic gaps of people for social and economy stability and we cannot deny that a big part of the Malay community needs some extra hands in this country. I personally think the NEP program is a useful tool to achieve better distribution of wealth if properly executed within a definite time frame. A definite time frame is key so that the people who receive the initial boost of help understand the needs and urgency to change their life and becoming more competent and competitive for better survival.
The main problem is that such program has been abused to benefit the politicians in power and and their politic cronies only. These people who needs help remains largely out of reach.
See here for a water scandal. This political crony -Rozali Ismail - get paid RM425,000 per month as CEO of this water supply company! In addition, no open tender of contracts and pipe purchases through the CEO's company in Indonesia.

Imagine how many hundreds of poor families can be fed by taking half of his monthly salary out.
To enable these corrupted leaders and their cronies to stay at the upper food chain of their own kind, it is no wonder they have to play the race and religion card game well. These corrupted politicians will not hesitate to poisoning the minds of the Malay grassroots that they are the oppressed race by falsely accusing the Non-Malays are taking away their entitlement of riches; which these politicians in power are in fact the mothers / fathers of all evil.
These corrupted leaders also strategically inculcate the idea that their fellow Malay brothers and sisters belong to an inferior and incompetent race and they need these "leaders" to save and fight for their rights, which in fact they are the vampire of the lifeline of these grassroots; and criminal of the misfortune of their own people.
The Non-Malays are not the threats but the corrupted BN leaders and their cronies are.
Of course, these corrupted politicians and cronies would die fighting for the indefinite privileges for the Malay community so that their own children, grand children and generations to comes can continue to oppress their own kind and feed on their fellow brothers' and sisters' blood!
It is not that the Non-Malays are begging for special privileges. A more level playing field would be just. After all, isn't the whole idea of abolishing poverty is to have a balanced scale of wealth amongst people. It is certainly not about enriching a particular race by tipping the scales off from another end.
Ibrahim Ali is obviously an insignificant and foolish soldier being mobilised by the masterminds of race and religion card game to achieve their insensible, evil objectives.
Malaysia is the only country where privileges are given to majority but not the minority. History books are written to downplay contributions of other ethnic groups but glorifying one ethnic group to the existence of this country. Children are brainwashed via formal education and religious studies that the ruling elites are doing a good job and indispensable for the country. Children are also taught about evils are all but them. Children are also educated that racism and corruption are a way of life in Malaysia and they should not question such work of evil.
