Keris controversy
In 2005, Hishammuddin became infamous for waving the keris (traditional Malay dagger) at the UMNO Annual General Meeting. Year 2005 ( MMV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. The kris or keris is a distinctive asymmetrical dagger indigenous to Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Southern Thailand and Commentators perceived this action as meant to defend ketuanan Melayu (Malay supremacy) and to threaten those who opposed the Malay special rights as set out in Article 153 of the Constitution of Malaysia and in the social contract. Ketuanan Melayu ( Malay for Malay supremacy or Malay dominance) is a belief that the Malay people are the tuan (masters Article 153 of the Constitution of Malaysia grants the Yang di-Pertuan Agong (King of Malaysia responsibility for The Constitution of Malaysia, comprising 181 articles is the supreme Law of Malaysia. The social contract in Malaysia refers to the agreement made by the country's founding fathers in the Constitution. Although applauded by the Malay delegates, the picture of Hishammuddin with the keris was widely ridiculed and parodied in the Malaysian blogosphere. Blogosphere is a collective term encompassing all Blogs and their interconnections
The 2006 UMNO Annual General Assembly was noted for controversial statements made by several delegates, such as Hashim Suboh, who asked Hishammuddin when he would "use" the keris; Hishammuddin had again brandished the keris at the assembly that year. Datuk Hashim Suboh is a Malaysian Politician from the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO the leading party of the ruling Barisan The assembly was the first to have its entire proceedings televised in full. Several delegates raised the issue of the Malay Agenda, and called for greater enforcement of the NEP. The Malay Agenda is a concept in Malaysian politics related to the ideal of Ketuanan Melayu [1]
In response to concerns over the racial rhetoric, Vice President Muhyiddin Yassin said that "Although some sides were a bit extreme [this year], it is quite normal to voice feelings during the assembly. Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin is a Malaysian politician and the current Malaysian Minister of International Trade and Industries "[2]
The Deputy Chief of the Youth wing, Khairy Jamaluddin, insisted that "while there is nothing extraordinary about this year’s congress and that similar sentiments have been raised in the past, these feelings have never compromised the ultimate manifestation of governance in this country through BN’s power-sharing formula. Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar (born January 10, 1976) is a Malaysian Politician. "[3]
Hishammuddin also defended the delegates' actions, saying that events earlier in the year related to the status of Islam in Malaysia and the NEP had "played on the Malay psyche. Islam is the official religion of Malaysia, and the Government actively promotes the spread of Islam in the country and its friendship with other Muslim countries For the Soviet New Economic Policy see New Economic Policy. The Malaysian New Economic Policy ( NEP or DEB for Dasar If they had not been allowed to release their feelings in a controlled channel, it could have been even worse. " He defended his usage of the keris, saying it was meant "to motivate the Malays" and that it "is here to stay", denying that it was a symbol of Malay supremacy (ketuanan Melayu). Ketuanan Melayu ( Malay for Malay supremacy or Malay dominance) is a belief that the Malay people are the tuan (masters [4]
Hishammuddin also asserted that "The keris is on the Umno flag. . . It is a symbol of Malay culture. You give keris as gifts to non-Malays, and non-Malays give them to me at functions. " However, Chinese politicians declared themselves unconvinced by Hishammuddin's explanations, with the Malaysian Chinese Association (a member of the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition) Youth chief, Liow Tiong Lai, saying that "If I hold a Chinese sword at a wushu function, it would be different than if I hold one at a political event. Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA ( Cantonese: MaLoiSaiYa WahYen KoongWui; Persatuan Cina Malaysia Barisan Nasional ( National Front or BN) is a major political Coalition in Malaysia. Datuk Liow Tiong Lai is a Malaysian politician who is currently serving as the Health Minister in the Malaysian cabinet. This was a political function, so it is seen in a different context. It can create uneasiness. "
One commentator suggested that "A keris does not make people uncomfortable. It is the gesture and brandishing that makes people uncomfortable", while a Chinese political analyst said that "You say the keris is a cultural symbol, but it is a cultural symbol of violence. " Hishamuddin later vowed not to repeat the keris wielding incident. He would bring a cangkul (garden hoe) to the 2008 General Assembly. [5]
