纳吉不能与曼德拉相提并论
将纳吉(上图右1)与曼德拉(上图右2)相提并论,是对这位南非前领导者的一种侮辱。纳吉不是曼德拉。曼德拉反对种族隔离和种族歧视。纳吉及其政党支持马来人主权(Ketuanan Melayu)。

9月4日,在彭亨州北根的“声援纳吉”活动中,纳吉长子莫哈末尼查将他的父亲与南非自由斗士和社运分子曼德拉相提并论。尼查应该恶补一下世界历史。
岂能将纳吉与曼德拉相提并论?
将纳吉与曼德拉相提并论,是对这位南非前领导者的一种侮辱。纳吉不是曼德拉。曼德拉反对种族隔离和种族歧视。纳吉及其政党支持马来人主权(Ketuanan Melayu)。
曼德拉是世界上最著名的政治犯,他从牢房崛起成为总统。相反,纳吉利用政治及其首相职滥用权力,积累了大量财富,在经历了漫长的审讯后,他现在正在服刑,审讯被拖延和发生戏剧性事件。两人没有任何相似之处。
曼德拉被囚禁了27年。前18年是在残酷的罗本岛监狱中度过,他被关在一个8×7英尺的潮湿牢房里,床上只有一张草席。他的白天是在将岩石敲成碎石的过程中度过的。白人看守经常欺负他。
纳吉在相对舒适的牢房里勉强坚持了一个星期,就因肠胃问题被送往医院,他的女儿说,这是因压力而加剧的病情。
曼德拉从囚犯变成领袖,但纳吉从“领袖”变成囚犯。他简直就与曼德拉相反。
纳吉在等待最后上诉期间,他得到了警察的保护,警察车队的开路。
国人嘲笑尼查将其父比作曼德拉
当尼查说他的父亲将以曼德拉的方式面对挑战时,大多数大马人嘲笑他。
一位社会政治观察员说:“尼查继承了他父亲的遗志。他善于混淆视听。他操纵信息,使信息在接收者看来更有利。”
另一位社会学者说:“尼查应该开除帮他撰写演讲稿的人,或者聘请一位知识渊博的助理来校对和审核他的演讲内容。一个好的作者不会复制和剪贴世界名人的相关故事,并扭曲某些事实。”
尼查还声称,入狱可能是“上苍将他的父亲提升到更高层次的方式”。他表示相信纳吉在出狱后会更强大。
曼德拉为废除南非种族主义奋斗
尼查对曼德拉有所了解吗?纳吉的儿子可能上过大马最好的学校,也可能在海外大学接受过教育,但他对南非种族隔离制度的知识和理解,是非常缺乏的。
曼德拉为平等而战,他是人权倡导者。尼查知道这些吗?显然不知道!他不应该用监禁作为共同主题来比较纳吉和曼德拉。
曼德拉为使南非成为一个平等的国家而努力奋斗,在那里所有种族和肤色的人都可以和谐地生活在一起。
1993年,他因和平废除种族隔离制度并为民主奠定基础而获得诺贝尔和平奖。
纳吉从来鼓励"制度化种族主义"
纳吉做了什么?几十年来,作为新巫统的领导者和后来的首相,马来人主权的理论已经成为大马社会和政治格局中的惯例。他没有做任何事情来实现大马多元种族的平等。当非马来人被称为“外来者”时,纳吉没有做任何事情来使所有种族团结起来,并拆除分隔他们的墙壁。
纳吉及其政党鼓励制度化种族主义。
尼查知道大马非马来人和非穆斯林不享有与马来人相同的权利和特权,甚至连原住民也被边缘化?
当尼查表示相信纳吉在出狱后会成为一个更好的人时,大多数大马人希望他的父亲能有足够的时间在监狱里反省,为他偷窃的罪行忏悔,并为让大马背负1兆零450亿令吉的国债而道歉,这将对我们子孙的生活产生不利影响。
纳吉孩子不知道偷窃是犯罪吗?
尼查可能希望他的父亲在服刑后恢复其政治生涯,但就大马人而言,他们不想再与纳吉和他的妻子,自称是大马前第一夫人的罗斯玛,再有任何联系。
一位青少年说:“纳吉的孩子不知道偷窃是一种犯罪吗?他们一直否认他是小偷。尽管他被定罪和判刑,他们还是希望他获得赦免。可悲的是,他们的教育也失败了。”

Nizar, get your facts right!
Your father Najib is no Mandela
By Mariam Mokhtar
❝To compare the world’s worst kleptocrat with Nelson Mandela is itself sheer humiliation.❞
Nizar, son of the convicted felon Najib Abdul Razak, can fool his father’s gullible followers or the Mat Rempit rent-a-crowd attendees at Umno-Baru ceramahs, but he cannot deceive the majority of the thinking public.
At a “Solidarity for Najib” event in Pekan, Pahang on September 4, the shameless Nizar compared his father to Nelson Mandela, the South African freedom fighter and activist.
Nizar should brush up on world facts and history.
To compare the world’s worst kleptocrat, Najib, with Mandela is an insult to the memory of the former South African leader.
Najib is no Mandela. Mandela opposed apartheid and racial discrimination, but Najib and his party support Ketuanan Melayu (Malay Supremacy).
Mandela is the world’s most famous political prisoner who rose from prison cell to becoming a president. Conversely, Najib, who used politics and his position as prime minister to abuse his powers and to amass an outrageous amount of wealth, is now serving his sentence after a lengthy trial dogged by delays and Najib’s theatrics.
The two men are like chalk and cheese!
Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years. The first 18 years was spent in the brutal and stark Robben Island prison, locked in a damp cell measuring 8 by 7 feet with just a straw mat for his bed. His daytime was spent breaking rocks into gravel. The white guards frequently bullied him.
Najib, the pampered son of a former prime minister, could barely last a week in his relatively comfortable cell before he was whisked to hospital suffering from gastrointestinal problems, which his daughter said was exacerbated by stress.
Mandela went from prisoner to leader, but Najib went from “leader” to prisoner. He is literally the opposite of Mandela!
Although Najib was a convicted criminal, he was given police protection, police outriders, and was treated as a minor royal while awaiting his final appeal.
When Nizar said his father would rise above the challenges in the same way Mandela did, most Malaysians ridiculed him.
One socio-political observer said, “Nizar has followed in his father’s footsteps. He is good at obfuscation. He manipulates information so that it will be seen more favorably by the receiver. His father is a convict who stole from the people.”
Another social pundit said, “Nizar should either sack his speech writer, or employ a knowledgeable assistant to proof read and vet the contents of his speeches.
“A good speech writer does not copy and paste pertinent bits about world famous people and twist certain facts just to make bad people like Najib appear almost saint-like.”
Nizar also claimed that being imprisoned was possibly “God’s way of elevating his father to a higher level.”
He expressed confidence that Najib would emerge better after his incarceration.
Does Nizar know anything about Mandela? Najib’s son may have attended the best school in Malaysia, and was probably educated at a university overseas, but his general knowledge and understanding about apartheid in South Africa is sorely lacking.
Mandela fought for equality and was an advocate of human rights. Was Nizar aware of that?
Obviously not! He should not compare Najib and Mandela using imprisonment as the common theme.
Mandela fought hard to make South Africa a country of equality, where people of all races and colors could live together harmoniously.
In 1993, he received the Nobel Peace Prize for peacefully abolishing the apartheid regime and laying the foundation for democracy.
What did Najib do? For decades, as Umno-Baru leader and later on as prime minister, the Ketuanan Melayu (Malay Supremacy) doctrine was de rigueur in the Malaysian social and political landscape.
Najib did nothing to bring about equality in multiracial Malaysia. When non-Malay Malaysians were referred to as pendatang and treated as second-class citizens, Najib did nothing to bring all the races together and tear down the walls that separated them. Najib and his party encouraged institutionalized racism!
Is Nizar aware that Malaysia is an apartheid country? Non-Malays and non-Muslims do not share the same rights and privileges as the Malays. Even the Orang Asli, the original inhabitants of peninsular Malaya are marginalized.
When Nizar expressed confidence that Najib would emerge as a better person after his incarceration, most Malaysians hoped his father would have had enough time in prison to contemplate his evil actions, repent for his sins of stealing from the rakyat and apologize for saddling Malaysia with RM1.045 trillion national debt, which will adversely affect the lives of our children and grandchildren.
Nizar may wish that his father resumes his political career after serving his sentence, but as far as the rakyat are concerned, they want nothing more to do with Najib and his wife, the self-styled former First Lady of Malaysia (FLOM) Rosmah Mansor.
One teenager said, “Do Najib’s children not know that stealing is a crime? They keep denying that he is a thief. They want him pardoned despite his conviction and sentencing. Sadly, education has also failed them.”
