Many of you may not have realised it but Muhyiddin was actually whacking PERKASA. He did not, of course, mention PERKASA by name but even an idiot can see that the target of these attacks is PERKASA.

Muhyiddin Tells Youth: Don't Fall into Trap of Self-Interest Groups
(Bernama) - Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin reminded the younger generation not to let themselves to be manipulated by what he described as self-interest groups whose struggle may seem admirable at first but is actually based on skewed agenda.
Speaking at the Young Malaysian Leaders seminar at parliament house today, Muhyiddin, who is Education Minister, said the young leaders should not be easily hoodwinked into believing in a struggle that is no longer based on the truth.
"Lately in Malaysia we see issues are being sensationalized and politicized... religious issues, the law such as the Internal Security Act, race relations, freedom of speech and human rights are becoming the subject of intense debates which could affect race relation and undermine peace.”
"You as young leaders should not let yourselves be used by these irresponsible groups," he said at the seminar attended by Senate President Tan Sri Abu Zahar Ujang and Deputy Higher Education Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah.
The younger generation, he said, should instead galvanize their energies towards helping to find solutions to the relevant issues and help propel Malaysia into a developed country.
"The younger leaders should act in a progressive manner and nurture the right attitude in order to realise their potentials and help build the country," he said, adding that the government had put in place various programmes to ensure the country's human capital are of high integrity.
The government, he said, viewed seriously the development needs of the younger generation.
There are 11.9 million people aged between 15 and 40 currently, he said.
"Your are an important generation who can be assessors, moderators and agents of change in creating a large pool of human capital whose thinking is in tune with the world's development.”
"It is our hope that the younger generation and students like you can think rationally and objectively and not be easily influence by negative elements," he said.
******************************************
That was what the Deputy Prime Minister said. Now please note these salient points in his speech:
1. manipulated by what he described as self-interest groups
2. based on skewed agenda
3. hoodwinked into believing in a struggle that is no longer based on the truth
4. religious issues, the law such as the Internal Security Act, race relations, freedom of speech and human rights are becoming the subject of intense debates which could affect race relation and undermine peace
5. you should not let yourselves be used by these irresponsible groups
6. help find solutions to the relevant issues and help propel Malaysia into a developed country
7. think rationally and objectively and not be easily influence by negative elements
Many of you may not have realised it but Muhyiddin was actually whacking PERKASA. He did not, of course, mention PERKASA by name but even an idiot can see that the target of these attacks is PERKASA.
1. manipulated by what he described as self-interest groups – PERKASA
2. based on skewed agenda – PERKASA
3. hoodwinked into believing in a struggle that is no longer based on the truth – PERKASA
4. religious issues, the law such as the Internal Security Act, race relations, freedom of speech and human rights are becoming the subject of intense debates which could affect race relation and undermine peace – PERKASA
5. you should not let yourselves be used by these irresponsible groups – PERKASA
6. help find solutions to the relevant issues and help propel Malaysia into a developed country – PERKASA
7. think rationally and objectively and not be easily influence by negative elements – PERKASA
On item 4, PERKASA is playing up race and religious issues and is saying that the Internal Security Act (ISA) should not only be retained but must be used against those who question Malay rights and privileges. PERKASA argues that those who question Malay rights and privileges are pushing the country to the brink of May 13 Version 2. Therefore, they should be detained under the ISA.
Muhyiddin is a smart cookie. He knows that Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak secretly supports PERKASA. So, to undermine Najib, Muhyiddin is whacking PERKASA. But he has done it so subtly that I am sure many of you did not realise this.
As I said, even an idiot can see that the target of these attacks is PERKASA. Or is it I am an idiot instead for thinking that the target of the attacks is PERKASA? But then if it is not PERKASA who is doing all this who else can it be?
