Datuk Nasir Safar Will Tender Resignation

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 2 (Bernama) -- Special Officer to the Prime Minister, Datuk Nasir Safar will tender his resignation from the post following racist remarks he allegedly made at a 1Malaysia seminar in Melaka Tuesday.
The Prime Minister's office in a statement issued here Tuesday night said the remarks allegedly made by Nasir "does not in any way reflect the views of the Prime Minister."
"Datuk Nasir never intended to make any derogatory remarks. He spoke at length on the contributions made by all races in developing the country.
"Nevertheless, Nasir apologises for any offence caused.
"In light of this, Datuk Nasir will tender his resignation," the three-paragraph statement said.
Meanwhile MIC president Datuk Seri Samy Vellu, in condeming the remarks by Nasir, said that it did not reflect the Government's stand and that it had hurt the feelings of the Malaysian Indians.
"His views are entirely the opposite of the goodwill shown by the Government and the Prime Minister (Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak) under the 1Malaysia concept," he said in a statement issued here Tuesday.
He said Nasir should be punished under the Sedition Act for his derogatory remarks.
Meanwhile, MIC Youth secretary Shivarraaj Tuesday night lodged a police report in connection with the statement made by Nasir at Sentul Police station.
Human Resources Minister Datuk Dr S. Subramaniam said the immediate action taken by Najib in response to the derogatory remarks by Nasir indicated the prime minister's seriousness and commitment in ensuring the success of the 1Malaysia policy.
"This should act as deterrent to ensure that similar statements are not repeated by any quarters. The government of today is very receptive to the sensitivities of all communities," said the MIC Vice President.

tunku,
1. Tahniah kepada Nasir Safar anak pontian yang berani menyatakan kebenaran walau pun terdapat sedikit kekeliruan.
2. Tahniah kepada beliau kerana berani mengambil tanggungjawab bukan bersifat apologetik.
3. Johor memerlukan lebih ramai spesis Nasir Safar bukan spesis amaran.
4. Orang Johor percaya mereka yang mendengar ucapan beliau juga tak faham bahasa melayu seperti mana orang melayu faham bahasa melayu, mengambil sekerat sekerat untuk dimasukan ke dalam akhbar, out of context, dan ultra rasis. Sebab itu apa jua orang melayu kata semua rasis. Oleh itu, semua sekolah sepatutnya sudah menggunakan bahasa kebangsaan seperti mana di negara-negara maju.
5. MIC dan MCA hanya menangguk di air keruh sedang mereka itu lebih rasis daripada melayu.
6. UMNO sepatutnya melihat kepada fix deposit account bukan kepada current account untuk menjamin kemenangannya.
7. Bosan dengan sikap pemimpin melayu yang ada hari ini samada UMNO, PKR, PAS. Melayu mungkin memerlukan sebuah parti baru yang berani dan adil kepada semua kaum bukan terkedu bila disergah.

Assalaamu 'alaikum tuntu & yang melayari blog ini,

1 Sungguh benar sebuah pernyataan oleh mantan PM, Tun Dr Mahathir - orang Melayu sekarang ini betul-betul sedang menjalani berbagai-bagai proses 'DIKORBANKAN'. Kenapa? Sebab mereka BUKAN lndia, atau walau sekadar separuh Cina. Umat Melayu di bumi tumpah darah nenek moyangnya ini sekarang cuma dilihat dengan pandangan kebiadaban serendah puak obirigin yang : tali di hidung-hidung mereka sudah tersimpul mati. Hela saja ...

2 Sungguh, ini merupakan satu daripada siri penghinaan, perlekehan dan pembodohan ke atas satu kaum yang memakai tag [lencana] "Melayu".

3 Segera teringat sejarah lama Melaka - si Bendahara yang pendek akal, atau memang sang Kitol yang licik..?

4 Apapun, Datuk, carilah rezeki di tempat lain yang lebih barakah. Bumi Allah amat luas, dan, sungguh-sungguh yakinilah : rezeki daripada Dia, bukan daripada manusia, apa pun jua pangkatnya...

Wallahu a'lam.

It is sad that we have to keep talking on racial lines. This I blame the politicians. Wait for any election and 1Malaysia will be sidelined. First the election comission will announce the racial composition of the constituency. Then political parties will select their candidates based on the racial composition.

sean oye,
malaysia will be a better place without ungrateful people like u.stay in aussie and dont come back.

Ungrateful Chinese and Indians should be sent back to their motherlands the way they came. Only assimilated emmigrated Chinese and Indians will be part of Malays and Malaysia. Malaysia would be more peaceful and advance.
Sorry anoynomous, you are welcome to leave. Malaysia DON'T need you.
We need more Nasir Safar to come forward and make it clear to everybody about what Malaysia is all about. CONGRATULATIONS!
As a reminder, any ingrate immigrants like Tan from BN who question about the Malays should be put on the first boat ride back to China like the way here ancestors came to Malaysia.

Hidup Datuk Nasir Safar!!!
Orang2 Melayu perlu pemimpin sepertinya. Cina dan India yang ada di Malaysia kena terima hakikat bahawasanya mereka adalah produk pendatang.
Penghormatan dan ruang yang di beri oleh kaum melayu kepada mereka tidak di hargai.
We stand behind U Datuk Nasir!!!

Amran, Sebelum memberi sokongan jangan lupa Proton Saga Biru.Saperti HRH Sultan Kedah bertitah kita mesti ambil perhatian apa yang berluku to rantau Asia ini. Kalau kita mengulang salah salah kerajaan itu akhirnya negara kita pun macham itu juga. Pilihan adalah dalam tangan kita.Ramalx

I think you better get the story from Dato' Nasir side, don't just based on dubious hearsay who might have secret agenda.
