Ministers Supporting Twisted BTN

The courses conducted by the Biro Tatanegara (BTN) or National Civics Bureau do not contain any element of racism, Defence Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi came to its defence today and he said he had attended many of these courses and had also been an instructor himself. He being a instructor wonder how the delivery would have been?"I do not see any element of racism there," Of course you can’t see any as you are blind as an owl! Ahmad Zahid also said the ban could be due to anxiety of the opposition leaders over the people's support in the state."They are apparently afraid of the people losing confidence in their leadership," Dai, Zahid, What does the ban of BTN got to do with people losing confidence? This kind of statement would only come half pass Ministers from UMNO. Let’s hear from another UMNO goon the so called Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Ahmad Maslan, he said the Selangor government's decision would deny the opportunity for the relevant civil servants and students to learn more about the country and its policies."BTN has never belittled any community.
If it does not belittle the other community then why are you afraid to review and revise BTN to reflect the truth and talking about the truth, he claims that the information disseminated at the courses were from historical facts and data garnered from relevant agencies and experts, and the syllabus involved training based on noble values aimed at making the participants citizens who could contribute to nation-building.
Is he talking about the twisted history being created by the UMNO run government where the Non-Malays history only existed from the 19th century and not before that?Does your history talk about pre Melaka era? Do you teach students of Vijayanagara Kingdom , or King Sialandra and his vast empire in South East Asia? Do you also talk about the contributions by the Non-Malays in building the nation to what it is today? Get real
The Shah Alam branch of Peninsula Malay Students (GPMS) said the Selangor government move was contrary to democratic principles and restricted the freedom of students. Now he wants to support democracy thus allowing students to listen to what BTN got to say ! He doesn’t want the state government to drag this into a political issue! Interesting, I guess these are same people who dragged the Selangor Menteri Besar suggested to include Non-Malays into UiTM as political some time ago! Change is only constant element and change will come to this nation and only then true Malaysians shall stand tall and proud.
