Ramli wished to inform that during the recent session of “Bicara Perdana” with YABhg Tun Dr.Mahathir Mohamad held at the National Library (PNM) our beloved Tun Dr.M have mentioned about his famous poem Melayu Mudah Lupa and also his thoughts on the new “Melayu Mudah Takut”.Everyone knows what the contents of the Melayu Mudah Lupa (Ramli have attached in this posting also below-please read both the Malay and English translation)
What is Melayu Mudah Takut?
According to Tun Dr.M briefly he said that “Melayu dulu (before the Merdeka 1957) hidup dalam takutan”,”sikit uggutan,Melayu sudah takut” ,”Melayu mudah dijajah” and “Melayu bertindak setelah belajar dari sejarah silam”
Hopefully,maybe Tun Dr.M will write his poem on this “Melayu Mudah Takut” if not Ramli can also write and U all 1Malaysians esp the Malays can also write your “Melayu Mudah Takut”
With this provoking thoughts maybe like what Tun Dr.M have done with “Melayu Mudah Lupa” have jolted the Malay minds and actions to be more conscious,more concerned and more daring to ensure “Melayu Tak Mudah Lupa” and become a World Class Race in this World just like the Chinese,Japanese or even Iranians etc…
Here is the Poem by Tun Dr.Mahathir Mohamad on “Melayu Mudah Lupa” and the English translation as ref;from Wikipedia.
Melayu Mudah Lupa (Malays forget easily) is a poem recited by former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohammad during UMNO General Assembly 2001. It was also the title of the speech that he gave that year, which was later published as a book. Whether it can be classed as literature rather than politics (or polemics) is debatable.
The Poem
Melayu mudah lupa

Dulu bangsanya dipijak

Dulu bangsanya retak
Melayu mudah lupa
Dulu bangsanya teriak

Dulu bangsanya hina
Melayu mudah lupa
Dulu bangsanya sengketa
Melayu mudah lupa
Dulu bangsanya derita

Dulu bangsanya kerdil

Dulu bangsanya terpencil
Melayu mudah lupa
Tiada daulat
Tiada maruah
Tiada bebas

Tanah lahirnya yang merekah berdarah

Ingatlah
Ingatlah
Wahai bangsaku
Jangan mudah lupa lagi
Kerana perjuanganmu belum selesai
