Happy birthday to TDM July 7 July 7th 2023Happy Birthday Sir, but ALL truths do matter!Dear TDM,You will be 97 years old next week. My Dad, and your personal friend, lived to be 96 and eleven months; and, moved on to meet his maker! You must have lived healthier! Sir, I speak from my heart, as would my Dad in any conversation with me about you! I have always admired you for most of my life while in Public Services, but truthfully for the first time in my life I am having sincere doubts about what your real AGENDA is. I think I hinted this to you when we last met in your Albukhary Office! My fear however is you are trying to finally become a ‘Malay Warrior,’ now, almost by default and by the end of your life. But with your rich Malabari heritage you will always be an Indian Muslim, and never a Malay, in a very popular sense! Regardless of all the many manipulations!I remember your poem about “the Perjuangan Yang Belum Selesai?” I also recall you breaking down and crying after you announced your own retirement, even after Rafidah forbid or appealed with you not to step down?Was that all merely pure drama; live on National TV; as much as it happens on CNN also; all just drama for popular effects? But, I still have many questions Sir! Why then did you could not get along with Lee Kuan Yew; while he has left us and gone to meet his maker, and now Singapore is still a much better place than he found it? Just look at our exchange rates today and reserve holdings!The latest reserves figure puts Singapore’s holdings at S2.2trillion or USD1.64 trillion while ours is only USD113.0 billion! Sir, these are categorical differences! Let readers understand the glaring differences!That by itself was not enough! Why then did you also pick a fight with the Tunku? Then, although you did finally make peace with him; did he not also leave a better Malaya than when he found it?Now, with two other leader-elders, or with both Tun Musa and Tan Sri Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, let me ask while they are still alive: Did they not get along with you too! Or, was it the other way around?Why huh? Now, you have chosen to fight your final one with PMX! But that truly intrigues me. Why cannot you accept him as the 10th PM, when even I can? He already is the 10th PM and with his term of Office sealed within party allegiance rules! And his movie, I hear is better one than yours and already being streamed by Astro! Am I wrong?Surely you do not think the other two of them were lesser than you, and would have left a better Malaysia than you can or will?Sir, it is time you speak ALL TRUTHS to us! You owe us that much, and you do not have forever, in human terms of life! At least you owe that much to this one ex PTD Officer!Documentary Evidence of ‘Bangsa Malaysia thinking’Sir, I am sure you remember the “Foreword” you wrote to our Dad’s 90th Birthday Anniversary Book. Yes, it was printed and we distributed almost 500 copies to our friends and family. I did give one copy to your daughter, after it was printed!In it we wrote about your 12 years of a business relationship between Maha Clinic of Alor Star and Kedah Medical Hall of Sungai Petani. Yes, every weekend for 12 years, you would stop at Sungai Petani, at shop No 4 Jalan Ibrahim, and place your orders for pharmaceutical supplies, and go off to Penang for the weekend. On your way back you would pick up your supplies and return to Alor Star, only for the same routine to be repeated the following week! You did that for 12 long years!One day though, after a dozen years of doing business with our Dad, you declared that you would be opening your own pharmacy in Alor Star to serve the areas north of Bedong and to meet the needs of Northern Kedah and Perlis. My Dad, out of pure curiosity, enquired as to what the name of your own Pharmacy would be, and you confirmed it would be called MICO Pharmacy! Now, MICO stood for Malays, Indians, Chinese and Others. Is that not correct?We recorded the same in our 90th Birthday Book about Dad and in your now-to-be-famous foreword; you did confirm the same with your signature expressed with your words of congratulations to him and all of us!Therefore, my ONLY remaining question to you is: “How can you now claim that your personal AGENDA is to only see a Melayu Malaysia?” What happened to MICO Malaysia? Why do you ignore the heritage of your own Dad and your grand dad? Do you disagree with Madani Malaysia?I need to know the answer, Sir! Is that not also why you called your party BERSATU and used the word “Pribumi” instead? Is that not also why EPU in 2010 began relabelling Malaysian Mainstream Ethnicity as “Bumiputra, Chinese and Indians?” Was not ALL these meant to be races; as opposed to defining different ethnicities?But where is the word Bumiputra found in our Federal Constitution, Sir? Is it not a concept evolved by the Deep State, to support the NEP in new and different ways; post 1970? That is fine t
