Those who go for BTN courses love it, says Shahrizat

BTN courses is all about positive thinking, says Shahrizat (second right).

Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil said the patriotic spirit instilled in the Biro Tata Negara (BTN) course was for all and not just for federal government supporters.

Shahrizat said it was not justified to be apprehensive of the content of the BTN course as the people loved the 1 Malaysia concept.

On Wednesday, the Selangor state executive councillor for Education, Higher Education and Human Capital Development Committee, Dr Halimah Ali said that Selangor state staff and students of its state-owned institutions were barred from attending BTN courses with immediate effect.

The step was taken as it was perceived that the course was an indoctrination process by the Barisan Nasional (BN) created to allegedly draw up racist phenomena, divide races, caused religious tension and provoke hatred of the opposition.

Shahrizat said based on her experience when attending the BTN course there was no racial content.

“The Selangor state government is just making a big issue. I have attended the course and it is all about positive thinking, patriotism and nothing to do with racialism,” she told reporters at a Hari Raya Aidiladha function organised by the Wanita Umno Kepong Division here today.

Meanwhile, Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Datuk Seri Noh Omar said the decision by the Selangor state government to bar state employees and students of state-owned institutions of higher education from attending BTN courses was politically charged.

Noh, who is also the Selangor Umno deputy liaison chairman and an Umno supreme council member, said the opposition brought up new issues to deflect their weaknesses.

“Like in Selangor one issue that they raise was their internal issues so that people forget the opposition’s promises in the past general election,” he told reporters after officiating the “Program Korban Perdana Jempol 2009” sponsored by the Jempol Umno Division and the Negri Sembilan Tourism Action Council, at the public field of Raja Alias 2, near here.

Commenting on DAP advisor Lim Kit Siang’s call that the BTN be stopped, Noh said that Lim’s call was as being of a “blind man”.

“Just like a blind man who does not know of what he does not see. How can Kit Siang talk of the BTN course when he has never attended it?” Noh said.

So then, why is BTN only open to govt servants & scholars of ONE race if it is about national unity? Why so secretive?

If it is something so noble, it should be open to all and transparent to all.

i've been to BTN, LIM is right. Racism is racism period. and they teach u how to hate.

Stupid Syarizat knows this. Does she think that malays are that stupid.
Hello syarizat wake up please. Not all malays are racist and no matter how much you try you cant
change us. We left umno because of their racist values and corruption is like a hobby to u guys

And dont deny that your a racist, I heard how you talk, how your friends talk. JIJIK DENGAR! oh yes we talked before.

Dont bullshit Malaysians,,even the rational,well educated malays detest the
contents of BTN.Otherwise,why do you think that all these brain washing by BTN are
coming out in the open.

In fact,I have heard about it umpteem years ago how BTN runs down other races.Actually the Malays are friendly,cultured people but the politicians in UMNO eg.DPM Muhyyudin,Zahid and the like of Shahrizat,in order to hold on to power, uses BTN to frighten the Malays of losing political power which see the demise of NEP,AP,
Quota etc.etc..but they never mentioned that the UMNOputras and its cronies are the
main beneficiaries and not the poor,hard-working malays who are taxi drivers, pasar
malam traders and small kedai kopi operators.

BTN has outlived its used long time ago and together with MACC,should be bungkus and
thrown into the rubbish bins.


“Just like a blind man who does not know of what he does not see. How can Kit Siang talk of the BTN course when he has never attended it?” Noh said.

Then SHOW us the BTN syllables.
GIVE us a copy of the lecture transcripts.

"Those who go for BTN courses love it, says Shahrizat "?
Ever been to a strip club? Everyone is happy there too.
Just because they love it doesn't make it right.

Hitler's nazi followers were happy buggers at the extermination camps.
Does that make it right?
