Below is a scan of the 25 Nov 1999 front page story in Utusan.
You can also read the article ’Hapuskan hak Melayu – Janji DAP sekiranya pembangkang memenangi pilihan raya’ online in the newspaper’s digital archive.
This was during Mahathir’s first tenure as prime minister. DAP was viewed as enemy of the Malays in Mahathirism 1.0 dogma.
Malays were then being told that their rights would be abolished should DAP win the 1999 election. GE10 was held the year when Anwar was in jail and his Reformasi movement caused Mahathir to become highly unpopular among Malays.
Interesting side note: Lim Kit Siang however denies that he had ever personally labelled Mahathir as ‘Mahafiraun’ or ‘Mahazalim’ back in the 1990s.
Fast forward 20 years to 2019.
PAS‘s Nik Abduh is open to the idea of his party acting in concert with Umno and Pribumi to foil DAP. (MEANING) Three Malay parties are now ganging up against DAP.
This is the latest political twist in the wake of the long-floating hypothesis below:
(RUMOUR) DAP + PKR-Anwar faction plan to oust Mahathir
(ALLEGATION) “It was alleged Mahathir [himself] had alluded to the PAS leaders that two Harapan component parties were plotting against him.” — ref. Malaysiakini story linked in tweet above
If Anwar once planned a ‘Sept 16’ coup against Abdullah Badawi in 2008 to install himself as PM, why is it hard to believe he’s planning one today against Mahathir?
BASELINE (a): 76 percent Malays support Umno and PAS
Analysis by DAP’s No.2 political brain Ong Kian Ming: “My own estimates are that BN won approximately 44 percent of the Malay vote in Peninsular Malaysia in GE14, with PAS winning approximately 32 percent (helped by their dominant showing in Kelantan and Terengganu) and Harapan winning 24 percent.”
BASELINE (b): 95 percent Chinese voted in opposition to BN and PAS
Now imagine how the 76% and the 95% each feel about the other side.
What the Dapsters need to know
You’re lemmings and your evangelical leaders are leading you over the cliff.
BELOW: Mahathir is Bintang Pribumi Perkasa Negara, and patron of the Malay far right
(1) You’re viewed as hypocrites
“That many (including some who opposed it before) now condone this under some vague circumstances such as gaining a two-thirds majority for Mahathir or getting Malay support or both is a reflection of the lack of idealism among many sensible Malaysians, including professionals and the educated,” wrote P. Gunasegaram in his Malaysiakini column today titled ‘Party-hopping is wrong!’
(2) You’re seen as unethical
“Only a person who is morally and ethically bankrupt and corrupt will advocate party-hopping,” wrote Gunasegaram in the same column.
Roughly 10 years ago in 2008, Anwar too had attempted to procure Umno frogs in his bid to topple Badawi’s BN federal government through MP defections.
Hannah Yeoh was foremost in championing Anwar’s ‘Sept 16’ move.
What goes around comes around. Remember that, Mama Dapster fans.
BELOW: Hannah Yeoh once mocked MCA ministers appointed via the backdoor, i.e. through the senate; today she is as silent as a church mouse about her Pribumi colleague Marzuki Yahya (the ‘Cambridge’ grad) who’s similarly been brought into cabinet via a senatorship
(3) Your double standard is clear to everybody but yourself
DAP is quick to bite MCA.
DAP growled at Najib’s Sabah-Sarawak native cabinet ministers (Richard Riot, Ewon Ebin) but when it comes to Pribumi deputy minister Marzuki Yahya’s own dubious ‘Cambridge’ degree as well as Johor Pribumi MB Osman Sapian’s ‘missing’ UPM degree, the DAP running dog suddenly loses its bark.
(4) Your self-righteousness is nauseating
Dapsters accuse PAS today of telling lies — see story in tweet above.
However, they dutifully repeated DAP’s assurance during GE13 that PAS was only advocating “negara kebajikan” (not Islamic state) and that hudud will not affect non Muslims despite PAS’s proposed syariah law enhancement.
DAP operatives even assured Chinese that non Muslims had no need to worry anything about PAS’s theocratic bent.
BELOW: Mahathir shoulder-to-shoulder with the keris-brandishing Ibrahim Ali and other Perkasa leaders
(5) You really need a mirror for self reflection
Hannah Yeoh once tweeted, “I say Dr M cannot be loyal to Msians if he’s loyal to Perkasa!”
She also tweeted “And our Vision 2020 former PM is such a disappointment for his endorsement of those narrow Perkasa views”.
Dapsters derided MIC leaders who “mastered the art of sucking up to Umno and Perkasa”. Look who is the master/mistress in the art of sucking up to Beloved Tun and Pribumi today.
What DAP has done to the Chinese
Where has DAP led the Chinese community, 95 percent of whom support the party?
Malaysian Chinese have been brainwashed to hate Umno and despise PAS. Umno+PAS: That’s three-quarters of Malay voters.
I’m betting that Perkasa Pribumi people also believe that DAP is plotting against Tun. As if the Chinese do not have enough enemies, their next conflict will be with Pribumi.
Are the rumours true that Tun will line up opposition Malay MPs, including Azmin’s PKR men, to repel the coup attempt? If the power challenge scenario plays out, then the next government will be all Malay should Mahathir win the tussle.
Because of DAP politics, the Chinese will be enemies of Umno Malays, PAS Malays and Pribumi Malays. Be they Umno, PAS or Pribumi, they will all rally around perpaduan ummah.
DAP sowed the wind, the Chinese reap the whirlwind.
Helen Ang 
Kak Helen…why suddenly so quiet this ruang komen…Usually very active…😎
Aside from the DAP cytro(s) blindly hitting out at me, I’m guessing Dapsters lidah kelu.
Dah sedar dema keluar mulut buaya untuk masuk mulut harimau.
Me bad {{ “I told you so” }} for rubbing salt into their wound.
Helen Ang is there a particular reason you’re not on Facebook? These are brilliant write ups!
Yes.
The cytros created fake FB a/c. Then they make malicious reader comments in FMT under the (impersonated) name ‘Helen Ang’. See,

https://helenang.wordpress.com/2018/02/24/fake-and-malicious-helen-ang-facebook-account/
They also created fake Disqus a/c and make malicious reader comments in TMI under the user name ‘helenang.wordpress.com’.

So as a pre-emptive and protective measure, I just stay out of social media, and publicise this fact.
If I were on Twitter or FB, the cytros would pile on me. They’re unhinged and have no ethical boundaries.
gang up and bang?
hahaha, Pus is nonsense now. koyak kao kao. 😂
i sokong PPBM. F the Dapigs.
DAP are the only party in Malaysia that wants equal rights for all Malaysians and hence why you hate them so much. It’s actually a really sad reflection on you and the majority of your race. Truly pathetic.
I supported PH because Tun Dr M was named the leader of PH and PM-designate before GE 14, and his objective was to overthrow Najib as Msia PM.
Mission objectives accomplished; Najib is in the gutter now. If DAP goes back to being its old self Malaysian Malaysia, surely all the 3 Malay parties will unite to clamp down DAP.
I expect things will begin to happen after the results of the Semenyih by-election on 2 March, depending upon whether Pribumi holds the seat or UMNO captures it, and also the swing of votes either way.
The outcome will have a bearing upon the course which these developments will take, even though both Pribumi, UMNO and PAS are believed to come together to check any any attempts to oust Mahathir.
If Pribumi holds, it will raise Pribumi’s status in whatever negotiations with UMNO and if UMNO wins, it raise UMNO’s status and will most probably discourage more UMNO MPs from jumping ship.
… which will be a big slap on the Chinese face if the grand Malay pact minus the DAP does become reality. It’ll be a tragedy for the Chinese because they’ll sure end up a lot more disappointed and disillusioned than what they were before 2008.
whatever happens is the power struggle among umno, ex umno or future ummo. dun be so naive to believe chinese have a say on all tis. its only a slap on chinese face when a chinese fm is nothing but a dog.
malay will continue to fight each other politically. the reason is they already know chinese can never rule due to the number game.
the issue now facing malay party is that u cant ignore the chinese vote bec the number is ngam ngam to strike ie kingmaker. however they will one day snub the chinese when our number drop to below 15%. that said, i dun know how all this racial talk help malaysian.
I hope that happens in the very near future. The Chinese will not be enemies to all the Malays, they MAKE themselves enemies of the Malay. Hence, they WILL very soon experience the wrath of the Malays
we’re scared, very scared.
Who’s “we”?
u cant read simple eng? my we is samia they.
