KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 21 — When Hafidz Baharom, a freelance writer, entered a public university in 2002, he was sent with his classmates to a government camp for a week.
It was the usual jungle trekking and other team-building activities, but interspersed with these were lectures. Some of the content was disturbing, he said.
“We were taught a song with lyrics like ‘the land that you walk upon is owned by others. Lecturers told us the Malays were forced to depend on the Chinese for support after 1998 because some Malays had betrayed their own race,” he recalled.
The segment on Malay betrayal was in reference to the 1998 sacking of deputy prime minister Anwar Ibrahim which caused many Malays to vote for the opposition in the general election a year later. “It was brainwashing propaganda,” Hafidz, 26, told The Straits Times.
These courses have been running for years, and are intended to instil nationalistic values and patriotism. Conducted by the National Civics Bureau — better known as BTN (Biro Tatanegara) — the courses are for university students on public scholarships and civil servants. BTN is under the Prime Minister’s Department.
Last week, seven young Pakatan Rakyat Selangor assemblymen handed over a letter to the Selangor government, urging it to stop allowing students of state- owned universities and colleges to attend these courses.
The Selangor government, which is now controlled by the opposition Pakatan Rakyat, owns three universities and colleges.
“We wrote to the Menteri Besar and executive councillor for education,” said Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, a state assemblyman for Seri Setia, and also special officer to the mentri besar.
Nik Nazmi said one of the colleges had already stopped sending students to the camps. He told The Straits Times that he too had first-hand experience with a BTN programme when he attended a five-day camp before being sent to university in London in 2003. The lectures, he said, focused on emphasising that the Malays were left behind and still needed affirmative action.
“It was racial and political in nature,” Nik Nazmi said, recalling that Anwar was vilified for being too close to Western powers, and that the opposition Parti Islam SeMalaysia was labelled as deviationist.
Batu Caves assemblyman Amirudin Shari, who also signed the letter, was quoted by news website Malaysiakini as saying that feedback showed that much of the BTN programme had nothing to do with nation-building.
“Participants are indoctrinated with propaganda about ‘Ketuanan Melayu’ (Malay supremacy) and external threats,” he said.
It was reported that the government is now considering revamping the BTN as part of the initiative to promote Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s 1 Malaysia policy, which aims to resolve the racial polarisation that has become one of the country’s greatest worries.
Since Najib took office in April, he has been reaching out to the minorities, and has attempted to resolve their biggest grievances.
This included tackling problems relating to the conversion of children to Islam, and the removal of the Malay quota for ownership of public-listed companies. — The Straits Times

If anybody is a threat to national security, this must be it. The BTN is not only a propaganda outfit but it's also a extreme racist organisation. All paid by taxpayers I might add. Is the BN so bankrupt of ideas? And why is MCA, Gerakan, SUPP and MIC so quiet about it? Their silence can only be interpreted as consent. Anyone wonder why the Chinese don't give two hoots on what's happening to the turmoil in MCA? As for Indians, you should ask yourself if the police are trained by BTN.

And this is the real problem. There are those in the establishment and elsewhere who continue to question the right of the non Malays to live in this country as equal citizens. The Consitution is ignored and young Malays brainwashed into fearing and resenting the non Malays. This country will self destruct if the result of hard work and entreprise produces hatred and envy. The Chinese are the most entrepreneurial componenet of our society. They make the wheels of our economy turn. The rest of us should learn from them. Live amongst them. go to school with them, play with them. work with them and partner them in busines ventures. See them as Malaysian assets - our people. Not unwelcome people who were brought in against the will of the Malay and have dispossessed the Malay from his rightful inheritance. Like wise the Indian. he also was and continues to be a useful and productive citizen of this country. The Indian contributed to the devlopment of the civil service, the medical services, the legal service, veterinary sciences, education both public and private, trade unionism and the Indian today who lives in the squatter areas and subsusts in the largins of our society are the descendants of those who helped open up our jungles ( at great cost to themselves, tens of thousands died of snakebite and malaria ) and develop our physical infrastucture. They are treated very badly now. No attempt is made to understand the conditions and circumstances that have conspired to produce such a wretched lot. Read Helen Ang's piece on Seeta who killed herself with paraquat. It is written with sensitivity and compassion. is this a quality we bring out only for people of our own race and religion ? And is that right ? Is that what religion teaches ? All races have contributed to the development of Malaysia. We all have the same aspirations. Can't we work to gether to achieve them ?

It is time the Malays realize that the main obstacle to their progress has been UMNO leaders!
UMNO leaders keep telling the Malays how they are incapable of competing with others and hence will always require help from UMNO. No good caring parents would do such a cruel thing to their kids.
It is strange how UMNO members can continue to respect leaders who have such a low opinion of their own followers.
UMNO leaders, of course, continues to divide the races by instilling distrust and hatred among the races. This numbs the common sense of UMNO members.
TDM is a most accomplished manipulator of the Malays. My greatest disappointment has been TDm's misuse of his power and the opportunity given to him to create a united and prosperous Malaysia. Instead, TDM has chosen to maintain his stay in power by dividing Malaysians.
Most cruel of all is TDM's effect on the Malay psyche and self-confidence!
TDM has totally brainwashed UMNO Malays into believing they are as backward and incompetent as their UMNO leaders maintain!

If this is true, the world community should come on strongly on the BN-led government that instill racial hatred, encourage racial polarization and promote racial discrimination among its people. This type of government is no better than any apartheid-government and must be stopped. It has no place in today's society and its leaders should be indicted.

I had to attend BTN because I was going to start my govt. service as a doctor, and therefore it meant I was going to be a govt. servant. These are sample questions from the exam. that we HAD to pass in order to be "sahkan dalam jawatan kerajaan" and therefore be qualified for any promotion or pay-raise:
Kerajaan masih mengekal dan menggunakan Internal Security Act (ISA) 1960 kerana
A. masih relevan kerana negara masih banyak menghadapi ancaman dalaman.
B. keajaan degan bebas boleh membuat penahanan.
C. memberi kuasa tertinggi kepada polis untuk menjalankan tugas.
D. berupaya menahan seseorang untuk tempoh lama tanpa perbicaraan.
Throughout the session, the representative from the Biro Tatanegara repeated this point, “Saya tahu, persepsi orang tentang Biro Tatanegara ialah kita adalah anjing-anjing politik. Sebenarnya, tidak. Kita tak menyokong mana-mana parti kerajaan. Kita cuma bertujuan untuk mewujudkan semangat patriotisme dan sokongan untuk dasar-dasar kerajaan.”
Selepas 45 dekad negara dijajah, akhirnya negara kita mencapai kemerdekaan. Pertubuhan manakah yang memainkan PERANAN PENTING mencapai kemerdekaan?
A. Parti Perikatan.
B. Parti Negara.
C. Independent Malaya Party.
D. PAS.
Kebijaksanaan pemimpin bermaksud segala keputusan pemimpin
i. mengambil kira kesan jangka masa pendek dan panjang.
ii. melaksanakan dasar mengikut acuan yang betul.
iii. bijak memanipulasikan isu semasa untuk kepentingan parti.
iv. menerima campur tangan asing.
6. Budaya demonstrasi jalanan tidak boleh diterima oleh rakyat Malaysia kerana ianya
i. bukan budaya rakyat Malaysia
ii. memberi kesan buruk kepada ekonomi.
iii. memberi gambaran buruk terhadap keselamatan negara.
iv. menjejaskan industri pelancongan negara.
Clearly, CLEARLY, all of the above.

The scholars are smart enough to know that this is not a country of progress. Take the money (supposedly the total sum of taxes paid by their parents all these years) and flee the country.

My nephew got a federal scholarship to study oversees this year. We are nons. All the non Malay reciepients of schlorships who attended BTN course (somewhere around Sepang district) already knew what to expect at the course. So they decided to close their ears to talks like "this land belongs to Malays. the Chinese and Indians are immigrants and so should be greatful for the award " and so on. My nephews Malay friend felt embarrased that such things ar said to his Chinese and Indian friends. To him all receipents are the same. ALL ARE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY and all ar there because of their good academic results. All Malays get a further dose of indoctrination after paryers at the mosque. BTN breeds racial alienation and go a long way to instil hatred and disharmony into the minds of young Malaysians before they leave overseas for their studies.

Welcome to Nazi UMNO. The Nazis started by demonising non-Aryans : UMNO has been demonising non-Malays. Then they started persecuting they to leave the country. UMNO has been doing it for years in a more sophisticated way : discrimination so that those who go overseas never come back. There must be millions of Malaysians of 2nd and 3rd generation who are overseas. I can count 25 from one family of 1st and 2nd generation ex-malaysians who are now overseas who will never come back. That's a ratio of 1 : 12 of those who stayed on in Malaysia to those who have left. If we take a conservative average of 1 : 1 for every non bumi Malaysian, there are 8 million new-gen Malaysians outside Malaysia. If we increase that ratio : you do the maths.

I am glad I've never had to attend these BTN courses! But we had some guys from BTN coming to my workplace to give a three-hour course. From the beginning theys started politically a charged lecture. Fortunately, I had to leave the lecture less than half an hour after that. My Chinese friend was not lucky as he had to sit through it. Being the only Chinese, he felt very intimidated the way the BTN duo were going about the lecture. As for people who think the BTN is merely stating the position and plight of the bumiputras in Malaysia, Kadazandusuns do not feel the same way. Most of the disatisfactions of the Kadazandusuns are blamed on Malay dominance! BTN sucks BIG TIME!

Dear Ali Nor,
Firstly why do you hate your fellow Malaysians? Secondly, I utterly could not understand why you can spew such comments without disgrace, does your religion and your upbringing taught you that? Then I am pity for your parents and you yourself that you have this kind of immoral mentality. Here are my comments to your remarks and I do hope that you will develop the wisdom to become a better person...
1) Apa salahnya dengan Ketuanan Melayu? We are the bumiputra and this land belong to us. Who ever challenge our rights must be eradicated.
Most of us or I should say almost all of us are born here in Malaysia, regardless of whatever race we are. We have a Malaysian birth certificate and a Malaysian identity card. So are we not considered as bumiputra who are born on this land? Kindly check your family lineage from where your ancestors came from before giving this kind of comment. We are not challenging any person's right, we are just seeking for equal justice and treatment for ALL MALAYSIANS...
2) UMNO is the backbone of this country and there is nothing wrong to educate Malay to love UMNO and the country.
Kindly do and repeat your history study on this for it seems that you failed to understand the lesson of history. I might be wrong but UMNO is not the backbone of this country, it was an alliance of all the political parties which put aside all our differences and hence our beloved Tunku Abdul Rahman brought birth to a country which we can proudly call Malaysia. Did he even mentioned it belongs to UMNO? There is nothing wrong to educate Malays to love their country, but do keep in mind that we, the other races are Malaysians too...
3) Singapore Malay is being marginalised by their country and even Malaysia Malays now are being marginalised.
If you do feel that Singapore Malays are being marginalised, please with all my heart, do go there and fight for their rights. To be honest, why are you so worried about Singapore when it is Malaysia we are talking about? Malaysian Malays being marginalised? Are you sure? How about the rest of us? Are we being marginalised?
4) Malaysia peninsular and Singapore are used to be our lands but see what happen after the Chinese came? They took away our land, our home, our wealth and our future. Is this fair?
Your land? By what do you mean your land? My ancestors work with sweat, blood and tears for this land for the better of the next generation. So what did happen when the Chinese came? Which land, home, wealth and your future did they take from you?
5) Even today the president of China has to pay respect to our Prime Minister. What are Chinese in this country? They are simply nothing!
Now that's the joke of the century, President of China paying respect to our PM. Chinese are taught to be respectful to all people regardless of race, what did your parents teach you? You must be living in a vivid world whereby you think that Malaysia is the center of the Universe. What did Chinese do in this country?... Simple, without Chinese or all the indigenous races, then there are not such country called Malaysia.
Last but not least, we all are Malaysians, you might be a proud Malay, but you are nowhere near as to be a Malaysian...
Firstly why do you hate your fellow Malaysians? Secondly, I utterly could not understand why you can spew such comments without disgrace, does your religion and your upbringing taught you that? Then I am pity for your parents and you yourself that you have this kind of immoral mentality. Here are my comments to your remarks and I do hope that you will develop the wisdom to become a better person...

So are we not considered as bumiputra who are born on this land? Kindly check your family lineage from where your ancestors came from before giving this kind of comment. We are not challenging any person's right, we are just seeking for equal justice and treatment for ALL MALAYSIANS...
2) UMNO is the backbone of this country and there is nothing wrong to educate Malay to love UMNO and the country.
Kindly do and repeat your history study on this for it seems that you failed to understand the lesson of history. I might be wrong but UMNO is not the backbone of this country, it was an alliance of all the political parties which put aside all our differences and hence our beloved Tunku Abdul Rahman brought birth to a country which we can proudly call Malaysia. Did he even mentioned it belongs to UMNO? There is nothing wrong to educate Malays to love their country, but do keep in mind that we, the other races are Malaysians too...
3) Singapore Malay is being marginalised by their country and even Malaysia Malays now are being marginalised.
If you do feel that Singapore Malays are being marginalised, please with all my heart, do go there and fight for their rights. To be honest, why are you so worried about Singapore when it is Malaysia we are talking about? Malaysian Malays being marginalised? Are you sure? How about the rest of us? Are we being marginalised?
4) Malaysia peninsular and Singapore are used to be our lands but see what happen after the Chinese came? They took away our land, our home, our wealth and our future. Is this fair?
Your land? By what do you mean your land? My ancestors work with sweat, blood and tears for this land for the better of the next generation. So what did happen when the Chinese came? Which land, home, wealth and your future did they take from you?
5) Even today the president of China has to pay respect to our Prime Minister. What are Chinese in this country? They are simply nothing!
Now that's the joke of the century, President of China paying respect to our PM. Chinese are taught to be respectful to all people regardless of race, what did your parents teach you? You must be living in a vivid world whereby you think that Malaysia is the center of the Universe. What did Chinese do in this country?... Simple, without Chinese or all the indigenous races, then there are not such country called Malaysia.
Last but not least, we all are Malaysians, you might be a proud Malay, but you are nowhere near as to be a Malaysian...

Check out this quote from the article: “We were taught a song with lyrics like ‘the land that you walk upon is owned by others. Lecturers told us the Malays were forced to depend on the Chinese for support after 1998 because some Malays had betrayed their own race,”
Doesn't this mean that it is the Malays who should be grateful to the Chinese for having their support, since they (the Malays) got betrayed by their own people? Geez man, the way they twist things are sick. No wonder BTN is sick.

If you think this is disturbing, try asking former pro-Government Student Council leaders what they do a week before their elections in universities.

This kind of propaganda and brainwashing is nothing new. It occurs all the time, just that it takes the form of different kind of program. For those who are fresh out from varsity and join the govt service (house officers, pharmacusts, engineers, etc) it takes the form of so-called "kursus induksi" at some stage in their internship. It is compulsory to be "sahkan dalam jawatan" as aptly put by sheena. During the "induksi" they are forced to listen to craps by the so-called lecturers, some from INTAN to heap praises on the BN govt and extolled the great things that our BN leaders have done to this country. In between insinuations were made as to "you-know-who" where responsible for the merdeka and the socially deprived and why there must be "social restructuring" for a just and equitable Malaysia. So much for 1Malaysia !!! Yes, this is ONE BIG JOKE !!! Throw out those racists and the perpetrators of the racial divide. Hypocrites all.
