Missionary Man of Malaysia

who did not recognize the visionary, missionary and longest serving Prime Minister of Malaysia? meet Tun Dr. Mahathir. he is a man who walk-the-talk, outspoken leader for the Third World Countries and the Muslim World. Tun will criticize anyone and any government around the globe with nasty words I must admit. but it sure did make everyone realize on the real things happening around us.

he claimed George W Bush as a person who lack of knowledge, solve problems by bashing people up and trying to be the world's judge. that humiliation goes to George Soros too, who made speculations turning the world upside down with financial crisis and persuade governments to loan with IMF. it turned out to be, even worse than before. but not Malaysia, Tun pegged the Ringgit at RM3.80 per dollar so that irresponsible person could not play with the currency and make money on it and other brainy key terms for the recovery. amazingly, Malaysia made it through and recovered from the economic downturn.

the Malay Dilemma is about how Tun very concerned about Malays of not being tuan di tanah sendiri as the local economy not conquered by them, lack of Malay students in local universities and he viewed so that we the Malays have to turn over a new leaf. during the UMNO AGM, he even cried out when delivering the poem on Melayu Mudah Lupa. 

Melayu mudah lupa

Melayu mudah lupa

Melayu mudah lupa

Dulu bangsanya dipijak

Melayu mudah lupa

Dulu bangsanya retak

Melayu mudah lupa

Dulu bangsanya teriak

Melayu mudah lupa

Dulu bangsanya haprak

Melayu mudah lupa

Dulu bangsanya kelas dua

Melayu mudah lupa

Dulu bangsanya hina

Melayu mudah lupa

Dulu bangsanya sengketa

Melayu mudah lupa

Dulu bangsanya derita

Melayu mudah lupa

Dulu bangsanya kerdil

Melayu mudah lupa

Dulu bangsanya terpencil

Melayu mudah lupa

Tiada daulat

Tiada maruah

Tiada bebas

Melayu mudah lupa

Melayu mudah lupa

Melayu mudah lupa

Sejarah bangsanya yang lena

Tanah lahirnya yang merekah berdarah

Ingatlah

Ingatlah

Ingatlah

Wahai bangsaku

Jangan mudah lupa lagi

Kerana perjuanganmu belum selesai
