Its Muhyiddin's time

Muhyiddin hit the right note as DPM's by saying that the Chinese were ungrateful after the Bukit Gantang by election when interviewed by Berita Harian! Welcome on board honorable DPM who pledges to play a pivotal role in making “1 Malaysia” a reality? Great start, but wait a minute, he said that he was misquoted and taken out of context, the usual after thought statement I guess.
His statement drew mixed reaction among the the Chinese community as many thinks that his statement was indeed demeaning being a seasoned politician ( the term politician carries a different meaning in Malaysia anyway) yet the MCA president apa nama Tee Keat said that there is nothing wrong in DPM’s statement as to “ uphold the spirit of democracy, we should respect differing views, even if we cannot concur with”. What it means I do not know? Wa po chi tau!
Muhyiddin even said that he had talked to Ong Tee Keat about the matter and the latter had told him there was nothing wrong with his statement. He claimed that the Chinese papers twisted his statement and his bahasa is very clear and the reporters if can’t understand bahasa he can send them back to school. Interesting remark by DPM, don’t you think so?
Let’s test out bahasa Malaysia or is it called bahasa melayu now? Anyway please help me understand this statement as I may even be told to go back to school even though I scored a credit in SPM and a distinction in STPM!
“ Ya, kadang-kadang kita berasa terpedaya juga kerana zahirnya
nampak macam 'ok', sambutan dengan tepukan gemuruh tetapi mungkin sudah ada
tertanam dalam hati iaitu sesuatu tidak mudah hendak berubah, pokoknya
masalah isu Perak terutamanya di kalangan masyarakat Cina yang mungkin telah
dipengaruhi dengan sentimen simpati kepada Datuk Seri Ir.Mohamad Nizar
Jamaluddin, kononnya dia 'dijatuhkan', lepas itu kononnya dasar memberi
pegangan tanah selama 99 tahun dilihat dasar yang menguntungkan.
‘Walaupun kita fikir bila mereka hendak sekolah Cina dibantu, kita bantu, sepatutnya mereka membalas budi...macam tidak ada penghargaan terhadap apa yang kita lakukan'.

A check with Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka for ‘macam tidak ada penghargaan' or sepatutnya “membalas budi” means:

1. Ungrateful;
2. Showing no gratitude;
3. Unthankful
Does it carry a different meaning in any other dictionary?
Some claims that it is totally irresponsible and ridiculous to call the non-Malays 'ungrateful' purely because the majority of the Chinese and Indians voted for the opposition and this even may has a hidden agenda, ie, to provoke hatred among the Malays and to install the false belief that Malays no longer holding the final say in Malaysia politics.
Well what wouldI know as I am merely a pendatang and I should be grateful for being given a citizenship for been born in this fair and righteous country called Ma-lay-sia!
