Reprimand and discipline JJ for racist remarks against Malaysian Indians in California
Lim Kit Siang
The Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi should reprimand and discipline the Minister for Science, Technology and Innovation Datuk Seri Dr. Jamaludin Jarjis for his disgraceful conduct in making racist and derogatory remarks about Malaysian Indians when he met Malaysian students in California on Monday (30th April).During his official visit to California on Monday, Jamaludin met some of the Malaysian students studying in California especially the ones from TPM Academy twinning programme at the Belacan Grill Malaysian Restaurant, Redondo Beach, Ca.One of the students was Sheena Moorthy, a third-year Biotech Malaysian student in CALYPOLY.Sheena complained that during the 3 ½ hour session, Jamaludin passed a few racial remarks on her, being one of the two Indians present there.Sheena has formally written to the Prime Minister to complain against Jamaludin for the “totally uncalled-for racial insults”, citing the following instances:Incident 1 - Each student had to briefly introduce themselves. When it came to her turn, while speaking he interrupted her and asked if she knew Samy Vellu, because he knows him. She did not see any relevance in that and he mentioned it a few times for no apparent reason.Incident 2 – He gave a speech regarding how agriculture started in Malaysia. He mentioned how the British invested in Malaysia and made farmers work. Due to the lack of work force, “buruh India” was brought in. While mentioning this, he looked at her saying “that’s how we get Indians in Malaysia”.Incident 3 – After saying he is going to get MARA to help the Bumiputra students, he looked at her and asked “How many Indians are here?” Sheena did not keep track of number of Indian students so she mentioned that in the room there were two (pointing to another Malaysian Indian friend, who is fair skinned) and Jamaludin looked at him and asked “Oh. You are an Indian? Which means you are an upper class Indian and she is the lower class one” (pointing at her). Jamaludin went on to say that, “Oh, I am not going to help upper class Indians, I only help the lower class ones. They are the ones that need it’. Sheena left the room feeling very insulted as the Minister had judged her based on her skin colour.This incident happened in front of a crowd of about 100 people including students, officials from the Malaysian Consulate, TPM, Tourism Malaysia, etc. But everyone is afraid and nobody is prepared to stand up to speak the truth.I can fully understand Sheena’s hurt feelings at being humiliated and insulted by Jamaluddin in public. All right-thinking Malaysians should support Sheena’s demand for a public apology from Jamaludin.Sheena’s sister, Dr. Sheela Moorthy, who is currently living in the USA and supporting her sister’s education at CalyPoly, is so incensed that she has written to the media to express her disgust and anger that a Minister of a multi-racial country should be making such racist and derogatory remarks about Malaysian Indians at a function abroad, giving the country a bad image. Sheena has also written to complain about Jamaluddi’s biased and disgraceful conduct to several Malaysian Ministers, including the MIC President and Works Minister, Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu.I hope Samy Vellu would raise the Sheena issue at the Cabinet meeting next Wednesday to add his voice to the growing demand for public apology from Jamaludin and to support the Prime Minister to reprimand and take disciplinary action against the Science, Technlogy and Innovation Minister.Jamaludin is still in the United States as he is currently leading a 300-man Malaysian delegation to the Biotechnology Industry Organisation (BIO) Convention in Boston, Massachussets.

You see why our politics never matures ? There are stupid, ill educated, immature bastards like this jamaluddin jarjis who are elected into positions. The same can be said of those who voted for idiots like him. can u imagine if any of the non malay ministers had done the same thing to a female malay student ? All hell would have broken loose. The press should take this so called minister to task and ask him to apologise.Maturity begins to grow when you can sense your concern for others outweighing your concern for yourself.- John MacNaughton

I am an Indian and I am laughing until I am tearing.. Damn it, don't you all think the STUPID INDIANS deserve this? By the way, they have been mercilessly insulted all this while by everyone including their great GOD, Samy!! No one reported and now just because Sheena is in USA, this matter had been highlighted.Do you know that BN and MIC conned 90% of the Ijok Indians to vote for BN?? It is the Indians who voted, not the leaders. The Leaders are good at fooling these foolish Indians.When will the Indians ever learn that songs, dramas, sweet words and sewing machines given during elections are being used to expand their stupidity?? and guess what, the Indians will complain, complain and complain..Well, that’s life for Indians, I suppose.. They are living in misery and they will die in misery - if they don’t wake up.Sheena, all the talk in this blog is hogwash.. This matter is not going to be taken up by anyone.. My best advise to you would be to marry someone there and stay back in USA.Let the Indians in Malaysia suffer and only when they are pushed into a corner, will they realize how STUPID they had been the last 50 years!!

Again I may sound racist but they Indian Malaysian deserves what they get. They voted solidly for BN in Ijok. BN was smart enough to put up an Indian Malaysian as candidate so they UMNO can have Sammyvellu in their palms. Its sad and I do feel sorry for those who has to suffer the consequences.The UMNOputras don't have much respect for non-malays. What JJ said is nothing compared to what Najib, Hishamuddin or even TDM said at one time or another. Remember the keris waving, soak the keris in chinese blood, get out of malaysia etc etc?Think about it.

OHMIGAWD! Has this brain-dead minister, JJ whateverhisname, ever really, I MEAN REALLY, looked at his sneering face in the mirror?????Yuckkkkkkkkk!! For him to make such vulgar remarks (racist remarks are filthily vulgar) shows the depravity he wallows in. Wonder what kind of an upbringing he must have had. In one fell blow he has not only utterly disgraced and humiliated himself, his immediate family and children, he has openly insulted his own parents. Can't imagine any parent being proud of having a freakin monumental bigot as a son. Some one demanded that that Indian "hero" Samy Vellu confront this JJ creature on this issue. Huh, like that is EVER going to happen!!This is what we have to deal with at the highest level of leadership in this country: moronic, mangled brains with a dangerous bent towards extreme racism.

Jamaluddin Jarjis appears to have stated that the 'dark skinned' Indians were brought to Malaysia as 'buroh kasar' to work in the plantations. If he is such an expert in South East Asian history, he also should know how the so called Malays came to be in the present day Malaysia. If he is a Melayu Jati, he must realize that he is the descendant of the pirates of of the south seas whose main occupation was the raiding of the villages of the islands of the Indonesian Archipelago. The dark skinned Indians at least had their own country, India, but the so called Malays were of an indeterminate stock of humanity and were mere wanderers of the seas, their main occupation being pillaging and murdering with no country of their own! So such men feel threatened when they meet with 'dark skinned' Indians who have long and honourable civilized traditions.

.Err folks hold on a minute. JJ is from the East Coast. In the East Coast there are few non Malays. There are not many Chinese in the East Coasta and very very few Indians. What does this mean ? It means the Malay folks in the East Coast have not had much chance to mix around and get to know the other races. The Malays from the East Coast are still very 'jakun'. .My friend from Kelantan told me, 'When I first came to KL I panicked. I said 'My God, there are so many Chinese here. Where are the Malays ?'.Not only JJ but the other Jakuns in the political leadership from the East Coast include Awang Adek and a few others..I dont think they are really racist. They are just backward. But its too late. Sorry...

Hmmm...interesting; one moderately dark-skinned (and by extension - "low class") Malaysian Indian decides to throw some money around and the "high class" intellectual Melayus are starting to run around like headless chickens:http://malaysia-today.net/b...The reason why these Melayus like JJ and his ilk are acting up and increasingly saying and doing very silly things are because as a society, the Malays have it right at the threshold of their consciousness that they are a failure, and that the illusion of "ketuanan" is about to come crashing down like like withdrawal from crack.

Ahhh, but let him to go to India and say it to dark-skinned Indians there and they would make absolute mince-meat out of him. And that goes for Indian women as well. They don't suffer fools in silence. I wonder what bloggers in India would say if they knew what about this minister's racist remarks.
