Although Tunku Abdul Rahman and the Malay rulers had asked the Reid Commission to ensure that "in an independent Malaya all nationals should be accorded equal rights, privileges and opportunities and there must not be discrimination on grounds of race and creed", the Malay's special position, which many in the ruling United Malays National Organisation backed, were cited as necessary by the Reid Commission as a form of affirmative action.

"And recite to them the story of Aadam's two sons, in truth, when they both offered a sacrifice [to Allah], and it was accepted from one of them but was not accepted from the other.
Said [the latter]: 'I will surely kill you.'
Said [the former]: 'Indeed, Allah only accepts from the righteous [who fear him]. If you should raise your hand against me to kill me - I shall not raise my hand against you to kill you. Indeed, I fear Allah, Lord of the worlds.'…
And his soul permitted to him the murder of his brother, so he killed him and became among the losers."
- [Quran: 5:27-28 & 30]

Captain Yap Ah Loy |
KUALA LUMPUR: Seorang pemimpin PKR hari ini mendakwa bahawa Pertubuhan Pribumi Perkasa Malaysia (Perkasa) cemburu dengan kegemilangan kaum Cina khususnya Yap Ah Loy yang berperanan besar membangunkan Kuala Lumpur pada abad ke-19.
“Kenyataan Timbalan Presiden Perkasa, Sirajuddin Salleh yang mempersoalkan penghormatan yang diberikan oleh Pos Malaysia dengan pelancaran setem sebagai penghormatan kepada kapitan Cina itu menunjukkan Perkasa cemburu dengan kegemilangan kaum Cina,” kata G Rajendran, Naib Pengerusi PKR Melaka.
Beliau turut mencabar Perkasa supaya mendesak kerajaan menulis semula sejarah Kuala Lumpur sekiranya menganggap sejarah sebelum ini salah fakta.
“Jangan lah cemburu dengan kegemilangan kaum lain. Tidak sesiapapun kata Kuala Lumpur diasas oleh Yap Ah Loy. Tetapi, peranan beliau sebagai kapitan Cina ke-3 di Kuala Lumpur menjadikan Kuala Lumpur sebagai pusat komersil tidak dapat dinafikan. Tanpa beliau Kuala Lumpur mungkin mengambil masa yang lebih panjang berkembang pesat,” tegas Rajendran dalam satu kenyataan hari ini.

It's not the first time some Malays have problems with historical fact, that Captain Yap Ah Loy contributed enormously, if not pivot-ally, to the development of Kuala Lumpur as a commercial, mining and economic centre during the 19th Century.
Several years ago there was a similar brouhaha over the historical role/position of the dead Chinaman. wakakaka.
There are certain historical facts that we now see being distorted, changed or fabricated into new 'fake information' with alarming regularity by some very unhappy people who seem 'blinded' by the colour of someone's skin.
One has been the myth of a so-called social contract of Malays getting 'privileges' as a quid pro quo for awarding non-Malays citizenship.
Let me extract from Wikipedia the historical fact of how the Reid Commission drafted the Malayan Constitution, as follows:
 |
Reid Commission |
Although enshrining concepts such as federalism and a constitutional monarchy, the proposed Malayan constitution by the Reid Commission also contained provisions protecting special position for the Malays, such as quotas in admission to higher education and the civil service, and making Islam the official religion of the federation.
It also made Malay the official language of the nation, but the right to vernacular education in Chinese and Tamil would be protected.

Tunku, the Agong and Pommie officer |
Although Tunku Abdul Rahman and the Malay rulers had asked the Reid Commission to ensure that "in an independent Malaya all nationals should be accorded equal rights, privileges and opportunities and there must not be discrimination on grounds of race and creed", the Malay's special position, which many in the ruling United Malays National Organisation backed, were cited as necessary by the Reid Commission as a form of affirmative action.
The controversial measures were included as Articles 3, 152 and 153 of the Constitution.
On the basis of their recommendations, the new Federal Constitution was passed by the Parliament of the United Kingdom on June 1957.
On the basis of their recommendations, the new Federal Constitution was passed by the Parliament of the United Kingdom on June 1957.
The constitution draft was presented, debated and passed Federal Legislative Council on August 15, 1957, and the Constitution took effect on August 27, but there was no referendum involving Malayan people to be held.
Thus it was the Brits who ensure the Malay 'special position' (not privileges or rights) and not a fabled 'quid pro quo' among the Malays and non-Malays. Of course the Brits always had their own best interests (plantations, mines, etc) at heart in whatever they did (do).
And it wasTunku Abdul Rahmanand the Malay rulers who asked the Reid Commission to ensure that "in an independent Malaya all nationals should be accorded equal rights, privileges and opportunities and there must not be discrimination on grounds of race and creed".
Menjunjung tinggi, Duli2 Yang Maha Mulia.
The other fable has been the fact or truth about the nation of 'Malaya', but I'll do this one in a separate post.

PERKASA was 'formed' in 2008 by Ibrahim Ali, with Mahathir as adviser, to act as a 'pressure group' on UMNO in case the Malay national party under AAB and then Najib went/goes 'soft' with the non-Malays. Its aim is to ensure and protect Malay dominance in politics as per Article 153 of the Malaysian Constitution. It would appear that Perkasa's second but unannounced aim is to oppress any improvement or recognition in Chinese independent educational standards and certificates. Recently Perkasa warned the government that if it were to recognise the United Examination Certificate (UEC) of the United Chinese (independent) School Committees Association of Malaysia (UCSCAM), it will go 'to war'. Hardly surprising Perkasa is said to be jealous of Chinese achievements. |
