THE INFLUENCE OF HEREDITY ON MALAY RACE by TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD
The article begins as Dr. Mahathir discussing the reasons of the poor examination performance of Malay students at a seminar in Kuala Lumpur in 1996 Dr. Mahathir told that heredity is one of the main factors that contribute to all kind of problem. He also said that heredity factor cannot be dismissed lightly. Mahathir explained there are four factors that contribute to social problem among the Malays. Firstly, Malay people do not believe in intermarriages because they prefer to remain purebred. By practicing intermarriages can various the bloods of the Malays descendant. Secondly, the Malays would rather marry own relatives. But Dr. Mahathir totally disagrees with this habit because it will lead to the poor characteristic of a child. Furthermore, Dr. Mahathir stated that the Malays are practicing early marriage. They do not realize that the young stage will give bad effect to the parents and the children because they are too young to have a family. Lastly, the Malays always hate of the status of celibacy. The way of the Malays think is conservative due to a person who remains unmarried will be considered as disgraceful.
The article, “The Influence of Heredity on the Malay Race” is an explanation essay. This essay talks about heredity is the main factors that contribute to the poor performance among the Malays. So, the increasing on social problem cannot be blame 100% on genetic.
In my opinion, this article is all about racism! As a great Prime Minister, he should not wrote something like this. This article will be give bad impact towards the Malays from other races. Even tough this article will change the Malays perception and attitude, but not all Malays can accept the changes. He also should not create other article which can provoked any conflict... but i still respect him as the GREATEST MALAYSIA PRIME MINISTER after TUNKU ABDUL RAHMAN PUTRA AL-HAJ.. thanks BOTH DAD!!
2. THE JEWS AND DECEIT by ADOLF HITLER
Adolf Hitler, German political and military leader is considered to be 20th century most powerful dictator. He intended to create a new religion that installs him as the new Prophet.
The article begins as Adolf Hitler recalls back the history of Jews in the 14TH century. The Jews and The Muslims had been murdered and abused cruelly by the Spanish. However, 300 years the Spanish can smell of Muslims pretentions as Catholics but somehow they are still a Muslims. Hitler called the Jews as “pigs” because the Jews always get respected from the government. The Jews expert in hiding their feeling and they are the best liars. Furthermore, they are such a good pretenders. They will study about other people, after that when they were in their groups, they will expose their real attitude and they share among them on what they have learned. Hitler described the Jews as the “leaches” because they are hungry of power to control everything until they step on other people head after they used their wisdom and knowledge to achieve their goals. Lastly, Hitler warn people to beware of the Jews because they are good in acting such as being kind, generous also being honest. They might harm us if we believe them.
The article “The Jews and their Deceits” is an argumentative assay. According to the writer Adolf Hitler, the Jews have a very bad attitude that lead to a world war. Due to the article, Hitler was right.
In my opinion, this article no different with Tun Dr Mahathir article which it is a racism discrimination. Furthermore Hitler is the great influence dictator which the world wide know him. This article will raise a conflict to the race involved! even tough Hitler was on the Muslims side but the way he described the Jews is way too bad. We should be nice to people even tough that people doing something ugly to us. even in Al-Quran had mentioned about this. Let's people see us as a good person. Not a revenge hearted person!
