Ignore Pendekar Mustar's Philosophy in UMNO

Is certainly his truth what in question by Tan Sri Khalid Abdullah in Utusan Malaysia yesterday of readjustment UMNO's name to Pekembar. United Malay National Organisation's use of name has by his policy mislead Malay and misleading soul organization identity should unite Malays.

Of history aspect, with United Malays National Organisation's meaning (Pekembar), this organization have successfully united all Malay party since before independence.

Hence Pekembar actually more relevant in effort unite Malays regardless of state, respective political ideology and hold.

In fact, religion academic background and tendency also can be skipped. Importantly provided that Malay.

In a of masterpiece Allahyarham Tan Sri P Ramlee, namely Pendekar Bujang Lapuk, I remember a dialogue being talked by Sudin when they across school which teaches elderly people.

Hence all three characters; Ramli, Sudin and Ajis portrayed as illiteracy, they try to guess writing in the school sign board. The dialogue over less sounding like this: "Alif (A) mim (M) nun (N) wau (U / O), Alif (A) tendang Wau (U / O); SARKAS!"

Whether realised or no, if rang will be mentioned "AMNU / O" (UMNO!). If true that is implicitly behind that dialogue, at that time more P Ramlee already can predict, if Malays failed 'read' alif mim nun wau, and when Alif tendang Wau, remainder only letter Alif (A), mim (M) and nun (N) could be translated as "Akhirnya Melayu Nazak".

However, before reach the dying to the level, Malay will become display material as in circus performance.

That is sight was happening among Malay now. Unresolved hardcore poverty problem, economic domination, drug abuse, deviant movement, hedonism, merempit etc, emerge more coup actions, money politics, defamation slander, treason, summons summon, jump jump and what not.

From outside the radius, all that action very attractive to watch, and I am confident audience reach not only limited till domestic but also international viewers. I also secure, many spectators 'pay' to be sure those scared actions are fixed sustainable!

Still Malay leaders unconscious will implicit philosophy behind the Pendekar Bujang Lapuk's dialogue? People apparently more wise of that case, perhaps because they be great deal of time to watch films on those no bored shown electronic media because rating audience still remains high.

Do Ketuanan Malayu only hold Pendekar Mustar's philosophy; "Hantam Sajalah", although his follower move indecent? If could translate the "Ketuanan" as king and people which became voter, I think officials group (leader) Malay must immediately aware that rulers has say their pique, while people had voiced in general election and two past by-election. Do we need to wait until several by-elections more future held on?

Make so much his multiply, unification voices and hope Malays especially which represented by UMNO and Pas begin to hear more. Is hoped Malay leaders will sincere and transparent answer this call with ignore respective egos.

Do not more preoccupied rhetorically because of that would be merely more confusing people. Should occur law hakam and legislation conflict like those hit Perak state now, return to another source we obligatory to believe; namely al-Quran and Sunah.

Malay leader should also always aware that as Islamic, we obligatory to believe that each leader will be asked will his leadership in afterworld later.

So suppost to be we return Islamic's Malay image the in all our action so that our struggle blessed Allah. Blessing that is is waited by every Malay people now. With this axis only we be back reputable other ethnic and no more been played like today.

Cover all "pekung" with discussion. Do not continuously cheering because we fear our homeland will be pawned. Do not also we 'let the Luncai dives with pumpkin labunya' as sing "Biarkan!, Biarkan!"
