i don't think MM need to stand corrected for the comments when
it wasn't targetted at islam but the minority of malays.he didn't
target at religion.i'm in my 30s & i ever come across a
minority of malays that stick only to malays.i totally agree with
him that few years ago there were malays that mixed more with their
own race.thus the book he wrote wasn't entirely misinterpreted
which was written 2years back.
it all depends on which area or what group of people one mixed
during that period of time & where he experienced it.why are
those ministers from muslim states or even locally so touchy about
what MM wrote?so as to 'bring him down' literally?why put a
founding father of singapore who has done great things for
singaporeans down just for the comment he made?he only commented
what he experienced.
i would comment what i experienced too.i believe any of you will
comment thru your own experiences & not thru the eyes of
another person.he has done so much for singapore.but just for this
one comment,people start to give their own criticism based on their
own views.have any of you lived thru what MM lived thru?have any of
you lived at the same area as MM?have any of you 'seen' thru
life/experience?
have the ministers in other countries lived in singapore around
the area where MM lived & experienced & mixed with exactly
the same group of malays as MM?they can't be speaking for ALL
malays in their own countries or any other countries or even in
singapore where they don't live here at all.every humans have
different characters, way & standard of living.for the one
thing MM commented,he was criticized.
then for the great things he did in/for singapore,do all
singaporeans appreciate to respect his comments?NONE can be like
him that has build up singapore like what he did & still
doing.so,for goodness sake,move on.......... and give him all the
support.
