Stop handout culture if you want community to excel, Najib says
Petikan daripada The Star pada 21 Ogos 2006
TANGKAK: “Orang Melayu perlu menghentikan budaya hulur jikalau mereka inginkan masyarakat mereka menjadi berjaya dan dihormati” kata, Timbalan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
Kalau sesiapa yang mengamalkan budaya sebegini menjadi pemimpin dalam parti, ini akan mengakibatkan UMNO yang lemah, beliau memberitahu delegasi di mesyuarat cawangan UMNO Ledang semalam.
Najib berkata demikian merujukkan kepada tanggapan popular bahawa memberi bayaran adalah satu cara untuk mendapatkan sokongan.
“Budaya hulur, sebagai cara untuk meraih sokongan, tidak akan menolong Melayu menjadi satu masyarakat yang berwibawa”, kata Najib.

TANGKAK: The Malays have to stop the hulur (handout) culture if they want their community to be one that is excellent and respectable, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
If those who practise such culture become leaders in the party, it would lead to a weak Umno, he told delegates at the Ledang Umno division meeting here yesterday.
Najib said this in reference to a popular notion that a way to lobby for support is to give below-the-counter payments.
“The hulur culture, as a means to lobby for favours, will not help the Malays become an excellent community,” said Najib.
“Our political struggles in Umno are far from over. We must continue the struggles for the sake of the Malays, the nation and Islam,” he said.
Najib said Umno did not struggle for the Malays to become mat rempit (illegal street racers) or to have HIV but to excel in politics, economy, education and other fields.
On Malaysian forces serving in Lebanon, Najib, who is Defence Minister, said they would carry out their duties according to the United Nations mission and directives.
“We have sent troops before to serve under the UN such as in Bosnia and we will do as directed by the UN,” he added.
At another function, Najib said due importance to knowledge and technology would make the Malays a successful and powerful race.
“Times have changed. Wealth and riches no longer come with having land grants,” he said when opening the Muar Umno delegates conference.
Citing Bill Gates as an example, Najib said he became the world’s richest man and powerful because of technology.
“He is so powerful that he can invite the president of China to visit his house in the United States.
“He uses his brain and mind to develop the information technology needed for the computer system,” he added.
Najib, who is Umno deputy president, said the Govern- ment’s policy was for every child to be given at least 11 years of education but there were still those who dropped out from school in Year Four or Year Five.
He said education was important and the Malays should continue their quest for greater knowledge, including in technology.
“We in Umno cannot just shout the words Hidup Melayu or Hidup Umno to become strong as they are only slogans.”
It seemed that Najib does not heed his own advice and totally be the opposite in 2013. Can Najib Razak be trusted to be given a fresh mandate in the upcoming 13th General Elections? or is he insulting the intelligence of the people, especiall the Malay community in order to remain in power?
Nampaknya, Najib tidak mengikuti nasihat beliau sendiri dan menjadi sebaliknya pada tahun 2013. Adakah Najib Tun Razak boleh dipercayai untuk diberi mandat pada Pilihan Raya Umum ke-13? Adakah Najib terus memandang rendah pada terutamanya masyarakat Melayu demi untuk mengekalkan kuasa?
Ubah Sekarang! Bersihkan Malaysia!
Undilah
