Dr M is racist to say there is no need to revamp BTN – Nazri slams former premier again

Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department has slammed former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir for his recent comments about the revamping of the BTN (National Civics Bureau) training modules. While Nazri announced recently that the cabinet had agreed to revamp the modules, Dr Mahathir came out to say that there is no need to do so. For this, Nazri, who obviously was annoyed hit out at the former premier saying that he is being racist for saying so. Nazri said “There are many instances of those who have come away from the course being angry as they felt words like ‘Ketuanan Melayu’ are ridiculous. I agree with Dr Mahathir’s sentiments about patriotism but not just for the Malays. When he was Prime Minister, he called for everyone to think as Malaysians. Now, that he is no longer Prime Minister, he’s asking for everyone to think otherwise. If the Opposition has a problem with the revamp, I want to know what it is. Do they want to say that Malaysia belongs to the Malays? I want them to point out to me where have I gone wrong. It is a Cabinet decision. The decision to revamp the course came up shortly after Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak announced the 1Malaysia concept,”

Dr Mahathir meanwhile defended his sentiments where he said “The BTN courses had been around for more than 20 years and there had been no complaints from those who had attended the courses. In fact, the participants have always found the courses useful because we try to teach civil servants new cultures and new values. This is because the culture and value system that was in place then was not conducive to success. Therefore, if they want to serve the Government well, they must practice and accept certain value system like being more disciplined, honest and not corrupt. I don’t see what is wrong with that. During the BTN courses, when history of Malaysia was discussed, it would be mentioned that the country was once called Tanah Melayu. Now it is Malaysia because we have people who have come to settle down here. That is fact of history. You can’t deny facts and history. But if we can’t even mention that, then we are denying history,”
