I still remember Hishammuddin Apologised to non-Malays as well as Malays over the brandishing of a keris (Malay dagger) during Umno's general assembly year ago. But he did it again this year, Keris seems like appear again in Umno general assembly today.
The education minister had raised the keris during the Umno Youth assemblies for the past three years, claiming that it symbolised Malay supremacy and Umno's role in defending that. After the youth wing's annual assembly last year, he had also defended his actions, calling the keris a symbol of strength. I'm just wondering that is there no other material or tools to represent 'strength'?
Reject 'Malay supremacy', the time is now for UMNO championing all Malaysian. They should have learnt it right after the massive defeats in the march 8 GE. The days of being racial champions are over. Stoking up the racial fire will not deliver votes, please wake up.
I don't think the unsheathing and brandishing of the dagger is part of Malay culture. I think my Malay friends do not do it in our daily life or during any ceremonial functions. And I had never seen such action so far. It is outrageous that he does it despite the criticisms. He is being insensitive and irresponsible to all Malaysians.
ANOTHER YOUTH RACIST IN THE MAKING?
HISHAMUDDIN IN PREVIOUS UMNO GENERAL ASSEMBLY
WHAT HAPPENED TODAY
HISHAMUDDIN WITH KHAIRY
HISHAMUDDIN IS NOT THE MALAY RULER TO RAISE, WAIVED, OR KISS THE KERIS! AM I RIGHT?

Salam Reformasi,
Keris might means a lot to the UMNO's Malay. As for a Muslim Malay like me, its mean nothing.
Lets hope KJ leave the keris alone..
Keris is not the tool for Islamic or Malay official use....
this Hisham misusing it to gain votes from Malays in the Umno election..
but i think the delegates not stupid enough to trust his own agenda again....
Boss Ketereh
Lately, UMNO has become more and more annoying. its like theyre forgetting that their in the political scene as BN. together with MCA and MIC. if not for the help from other parties, Malaysia won't even exist. but all they keep saying is about Malay Supremacy. and I agree that they should start thinking about defending Malaysian altogether. and dont just do it during election campaigns to attract voters.
Yes bro..u are right. I also don't think the Keris is a part of Malay culture..but it sure seems to be a part of UMNO culture.
