Mahathir And BTN are Both Racists

When Hitler was the Fuhrer of Germany, he advocated a policy of exterminating the Jews not only in his homeland but the whole of Europe. He blamed Germany economic woes was caused by the Jews and through a policy of racial extermination he forcibly incarcerated millions of Jews in concentration camps and proceeded to torture and systemmatically killed them.

In Malaysia , with Mahathir we have our equivalent of Hitler. Both had one thing in common. They were both racist to the core.In his early book, the' Malay Dilemma' he had like Hitler placed the blame on Malay backwardness to the fault of the enterprising chinese race.
In 22 years of his tenure as P.M he saw it fit to set up exclusive race based institutions that catered only for the malays. MARA colleges , tertiary Instituition like UITM and propaganda instituition BTN all catered exclusively for one community.

Despite many participants claiming that the course conducted by BTN was 'divisive, racist and politically motivated' Mahathir came to the defence of the BTN modules by saying that 'there is no need to revamp National Civics Bureau(BTN) training modules as in the current form, they were fine for instilling the patriotic spirit among Malaysians'. How could the modules instill patriotic spirit among Malaysians when the course emphasize on the "Ketuanan Melayu " concept and the condemnation that the chinese and indians were pendatangs whose sole aim was to take over the whole of the malay achepelago.?

Only a racist like Mahathir could not see the inherent racist propaganda that was the cornerstone of BTN's module. Credit should be given to many malays participants who bear testimony to the BTN's modules which had incited racial hatred to the other races. And quite rightly, Pakatan controlled states have taken steps to disallow its state civil servants , state educational institutions and other state owned corporations from attending BTN courses.
