In the MM Online we read of DAP's Tony Pua saying Singapore is Southeast Asia’s ‘mercenary prick’ and which has been why the Island Nation has no friend.
If not anything, at least Pua's most undiplomatic and quite abusive remarks prove that the DAP in Malaysia is not affiliated to its alleged Singapore Tai-Koe, the PAP, wakakaka.

Before I come to the words of Singaporean diplomat-at-large Bilahari Kausikan, who described Bersih 4.0 participants as 'delusional', bearing in mind he was referring to young Chinese Malaysians, who were the majority at the 2-day street rally (and I hope there was no Chinese participant from the PRC, Taiwan, HK, Macau, and elsewhere especially Sing, wakakaka), I want to share something I heard from my seniors.
The current 'mercenary prick' (wakakaka) story has a resemblance to what happened in the apartheid days of white supremacist South Africa, at a time when that racist pariah nation was suffering from political and economic-trade sanctions, an earlier form of BDS or 'boycott, divestment & sanction', a campaign which is applied today to Israel though less successfully than the one against apartheid South Africa because like it or not, many Western-Christian nations like Australia, United States and many European countries shy away from anything that's against Israel, even unto closing one eye to most of the Jewish State's vile brutal atrocities of war-crime proportions against the Palestinians and Lebanese.
Amidst the sanction against the Afrikaner nation, there came along the Japs, then the super-salesman of the world. Ohayo gozaimasu, 'twas said those Japs did not hesitate to trade with South Africa which obviously was in dire need of trading and economic relationship with anyone, so those Afrikaan white supremacists got around their own racist state policy vis-a-vis their Asian trading partner by making Japs (but not Chinese or Koreans or Mongolians) 'honorary whites', wakakaka.
Apparently (I've to admit I am not so clear on this one), white-ruled Southern Rhodesia (now black-ruled Zimbabwe, wakakaka), which became the 2nd Commonwealth nation in two hundred (200) years after the USA to unilaterally declare independence (UDI) from Mother Britain, so as to avoid Britain's policy of NIBMAR or 'no independence before majority rule' (which in Africa effectively meant black-rule), did the same hypocritical putar belit on its state's racist discriminatory policy.
Back to apartheid South Africa, there were two ironies to the Afrikaans' innovative (wakakaka) 'honorary whites' categorization, namely, (a) the Japs were, especially during and before WWIII, themselves racial supremacists who considered themselves as descendants of the Sun Goddess Amaterasu and would have probably deemed those Afrikaans as Conan-like 'barbarians' (wakakaka) from the Great Unwashed of the Dark Continent, and (b) in terms of skin complexion, the Japs (and indeed most Koreans and northern Chinese, though not the chocolate brown Chinese Malaysians and Sings, wakakaka) were far far more fair and thus more 'white' than those ruddy red-brown-dark Afrikaans.
Anyway, more than a few Asians were pissed off with those 'honorary white' Japs for breaking ranks and sneeringly described them as 'economic animals' with an abusive accent on the critter word. If that had happened under today's circumstances, some Malaysians would have described them as 'economic Japigs', wakakaka.
Thus I suspect Pua's 'mercenary prick' would be the updated or modern version of 'economic animals', meaning people who would do, say, conduct anything or behave in any way just for money, gains and profits even unto rubbing shoulders with the uncivilised 'gaijin', and perhaps could be argued as a most apt description for a society reputed notoriously as very kiasu, wakakaka.
But let's now come to Bilahari's remarks which was reported by the MM Online as follows:
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 6 — Malaysia’s ethnic Chinese youth are “delusional” if they believe that Malay dominance in politics can be replaced by a change in the system, Singapore’s ambassador-at-large Bilahari Kausikan has said.
Instead, the top Singaporean diplomat said this dominance will be defended by any means, including a possible political alliance between Malay nationalist ruling party Umno and opposition Islamist party PAS.
“It is my impression that many young Malaysian Chinese have forgotten the lessons of May 13, 1969. They naively believe that the system built around the principle of Malay dominance can be changed.
“That may be why they abandoned MCA for the DAP. They are delusional. Malay dominance will be defended by any means,” Bilahari wrote in an opinion piece published in The Straits Times (ST) today.
Amid the current political upheaval in Malaysia, Bilahari cautioned that any new system that emerges will not only still have Malay dominance at its centre, but its enforcement will be even more rigorous with less space for the non-Muslims.
Personally I assess Bilahari's remarks as having fair substance, that the Malays in Malaysia, irrespective of what their political affiliations may be, aren't quite ready yet to accept a Malaysian government which is not dominated and controlled by Malays.
Thus UMNO, PAS, PKR (let's not pretend PKR is not a Malay party) and Amanah all share the same racial ideology in terms of political control and dominance of our country. And that has been why the clarion call for 'Malay Unity' has been so appealing and in more than one case, particularly vis-a-vis the ongoing UMNO-PAS wooing and cooing behind the public eye, quite successful.
Indeed PAS' so-called reverence for Islamic values, which in reality include supra-nationalistic values (that which is above race, colour and creed), comes only in second place to its invincible Malay nationalism.
Now, we may be tempted to call those PAS ulama hypocrites to their Islamic values, but then, you can't blame them when they have been indoctrinated in their Malay-ness for for more than a thousand years since 683 CE.
That was when Dapunta Hyang Sri Jayanasa took a sacred journey called siddhayatra to apparently acquire blessings (particularly for magic powers), wealth and to conquer foreign lands, a kind of crusade.
Bloke led 20,000 troops and 312 people (presumably his personal staff and advisors?) in boats from (according to one historical theory) the East coast of the Malay peninsula to the adjoining land which we know today as Sumatra. His military exploits absorbed into his newly founded Srivijaya Empire both the conquered Melayu Kingdom, then existing somewhere around Jambi in Sumatra, as well as the conquered Hindu kingdom of Tamuranagara in West Java.
Dirgahayu Maharaja! Well, 'maharaja' because he and his subjects were Indianized as well as being Buddhists, where centuries later his kingdom and subjects turned respectively to Hinduism and Islam, but throughout remained Malays, so what more for those poor PAS ulama, wakakaka.
And Bilahari would well be very correct that young Chinese Malaysians who didn't experience the horrors of extreme racial strife as happened on 13 May 1969 have come to naturally believe that their political ardour, dedication and sacrificial efforts can change Malaysian politics into a superior non-racial version without the need to factor for Malay primer inter pares in political power, yes, even in Pakatan.
Thus, in his opinion those young Chinese Malaysians participating in Bersih 4.0 have been 'delusional' on such an impossibility, well, impossible for at least several more decades to come.
Pua has presumably been quite pissed with Bilahari's critical interfering comment and riposted that those 'delusional' young Malaysians have hearts and souls.
But Bilahari came back to say (in his Facebook) that "one of the most common forms of delusion in politics was to mistake hopes and dreams for reality".
Continuing, he said, “I do not begrudge Mr Pua his hopes and dreams and I wish him and indeed all Malaysians of all races well."
“But I fear this particular hope and dream may well lead to disaster; it did in the past and if it happens again Singapore — my sole concern — cannot but be affected. So my hope is that that whatever their dreams, the DAP's policies will be made during their waking hours.”
Wakakaka.
Bilahari has his point, one which he admitted as his 'sole concern', namely, that if there is unrest in Peninsula Malaysia, and god forbid of the May 13 variety, his Singapore will invariably be adversely affected, indeed in terms of instability, not only in public safety and security but in trade, commerce and economy.
He is basically telling young Chinese Malaysians to chill out.
I could go on and on for both sides of the argument but will end here by just saying Pua, whatever his arguments might have been, has been quite disappointingly childish and undiplomatic in describing Singapore as a 'mercenary prick', no matter how true that might be, wakakaka.
But you know what? I would love to hear Pua say those exact words of a few personalities in PKR who took him on a jolly bullshit ride in Kajang on which we suspect he was a naive but willing captive, wakakaka - that is, if he has the guts!
