This Omar Mustapha is none other than Omar Ong, the son of Mustapha Ong, retired diplomat who was involved in bribing taxi driver Jamal Amro with $200,000 to persuade him to testify in court that he procured women for Anwar. This Mustapha Ong was of course acting under orders from then PM Mahathir to nail Anwar in the sodomy trial 10 years ago. Mustapha Ong was recalled home in ignominy. To date he has maintained his innocence, but people can judge for themselves. This Mustapha Ong is one Chinese opportunist who converted to Islam many years back, more to benefit from the bumiputra privileges. That is why his son Omar Ong, was classified as a bumiputra or something, went to boarding schools reserved for Malay students and got scholarship to study in Oxford Univ from Petronas. Omar Ong soon latched up with Khairy and became a close aide of Najib as his pol sec. But with Mahathir still in charge in Petronas and resenting any one associated with Khairy, the mamak certainly rejected Omar Ong as you can see in the above report. Of course Mustapha Ong is unhappy that his son is not selected as top honcho in Petronas, and is likely to lobby Najib. What Mustapha Ong (and his son Omar) fail to realize that just as some people in UMNO were quick to accept them as bumiputras despite their obvious Chinese features, the very same people were quick to point out that they are Chinese (and not bumis) when having no more use for them. This Mustapha has discovered to his chagrin. Lesley Lopez of ST picked up an earlier similar piece posted in Rocky bru where the writer deliberately referred to Omar Mustapha as Omar Ong to show that he is Chinese and not bumiputra. Mustapha Ong of course commented in Rocky bru under the pseudonym of MasAgungKL to refer to his son as Omar Mustapha, and play down his Chineseness, but to no avail. To the more numerous UMNO enemies than friends Mustapha Ong and his son Omar Ong made in UMNO, how much he tried to hide his Chinese surname Ong to show he is Malay has proven fruitless. As for the Chinese, they don't regard Mustapha Ong and his son Omar as members of their own community any more after they turned traitor a long time ago. So they are not bothered when UMNO agent provocateurs in Rocky bru attacked Omar on the grounds of him being Chinese. Mustapha Ong and his son Omar might as well revert to their original Chinese names of Ong Ah Goo, Ong Ah Too or Ong Ah Kow since it is clear the UMNO people in Petronas who are with Mahathir don't want them anymore. Let Mustapha Ong learn that a Chinese converting to Islam is vulnerable to a double-edged sword which cuts both ways. When they want you, you are Omar Mustapha to them. But when they don't want you, they will refer to you as Omar Ong.

Rocky,

I agree with Eddy.

Retired civil servants with illustrious service should be considered for Petronas Chairmanship. This include KSNs, KSPs, KSUs of MITI, Bank Negara Governors, DG of EPU etc. Former CEO of EPF or PNB also should be considered because of the wealth of experience managing very large funds.

Probably, retired Malaysian Shell Chairmans, like Dato Megat should also be considered.

Professionals like MIA/MICPA/ABBM Presidents, should also be considered as BOD of Petronas.

Good write-up by Anonymous a.k.a. Gerakilat. It`s as though he has picked-up the facts from my mind!. This Mustafa Ong fellow is a bloody Chinese born opportunist.Converting for the sake of bumiputra `crutch' privileges.He is a typical chink hoping to bandwagon on Bumiputeraism to suit his own purpose. Like they say..`a devil will quote from the bible to suit its own purpose'. After all, he was only an Executive Officer (EO)(Support Group One) in Wisma Putra....not even in the Professional and Management group category of the Administrative and Diplomatic Service.Many years ago, at the stroke of a pen and through an in-house circular, all these Executive Officers in Wisma Putra were elevated to Diplomat status thus the beginning of them being `big-headed'. Others in the same ilk is Abdul Kadir Sheikh Fadzil....another DKK masquerading as a thorough breed Malay. He too was an EO in Wisma Putra at one time!!!!

This is one of the best news by far. There is an overwhelming need to keep Petronas a wholly bumiputera institution come what may. Today, reports suggest that high operating costs were the reasons behind the decline in profits. There is a need to study the reasons, which may be due to the rise in the cost of inputs rather than due to higher dividend payments alone. (Source:http://asia.news.yahoo.com/rtrs/20090625/tbs-petronas-7318940.html)

Nevertheless, dividend payments increased by 6 billion, clearly emplacing this bumiputera run company as the main contributor to our national coffers..not chingkie scum like an old cock of a kuok or their flyby night, scam by day outfits.

May I and my fellow Malay brethren never live to see the day when a chingkie or Hindulen bastard, opportunist convert or otherwise assume the post of top honcho of the best run corporation in Malaysia.

Allahuakhbar. Hidup Melayu!!!!

No, this Omar Ong is not related to Omar Ong Yoke Lin, although I suspect he or his father Mustapha Ong might have want him to become someone like Omar Ong (same name)
If the 2 Omar Ongs are related, no need for his father to lobby Najib hard for his son to be Petronas CEO. His son would already have got a big corporate position in one of his several cos with bumi status. Omar Ong Yoke Lin was from Malacca and I think Mustapha Ong and his son are from Johor.

An MCA leader then, Omar Yoke Lin Ong was a typical opportunist who converted more for bumi privileges than belief in religion. Razak was the one who converted him in 1961. The papers then reported that he surprized everyone by dressing up like Malay and going to mosque to pray. I think that was why he could become Malaysian (then Malayan) ambassador to US which has ministerial status. After his return he was made president of senate and today Omar Yoke Lin Ong as he called himself is retired, probably in his early 90s and preparing for the afterlife. Once he converted to Islam, his companies (he became businessmen)received bumi status which means he got all the privileges, loans, etc. For all the impression created that Omar YOke Lin Ong would literally "masuk Melayu" when he converted, I think deep at heart he still considered himself Chinese, at least culturally. When his first wife died in the 1970s, he married a Malaysian Chinese medical student in the UK who was more than 20 years younger than him. Maybe it was for love or someone matchmaking, I don't know. But I'm sure at that time, if he had just sounded the word to many of his UMNO friends, they would have introduced him to many pretty Malay women who would just love to marry him, and he would have "masuked" Melayu and his children would he half-Melayu half-Chinese. That would have pleased many of his UMNO friends who could not be happier to see a Chinese muallaf marry a Malay woman. But no, he preferred this Chinese lady, who was also beautiful and intelligent, she converted to Islam with the name Aishah Ong and I think she bore him a few children, who should now be in the 30s already. One of them was a young boy then known as Tawfik Ong, his picture came up in the papers. I don't know whether his UMNO friends approved, but I think maybe they felt it was his private life, and so long as his wife and children were within the Muslim ummah, they were quite happy.

Well that is so much for Omar Yoke Lin Ong whose example I think our friend Mustapha Ong wanted his son Omar to follow very badly. But to my mind, there will not be any Chinese muallaf who can aspire to Omar Yoke LIn Ong's status.He could be the first and the last of those Chinese muallafs, because at that time there were very few of them. Razak also converted another MCA leader called Tan Tong Hai, a journalist from Singapore, to Islam with the name Mohd Noh Tahir. But he did not get as many privileges as Omar Yoke Lin Ong got. Unlike Omar Y L Ong, Mohd Noh Tahir passed away several years ago. Today with so many Chinese muallaff, where many of them give priority to bumi privileges, I think the govt is being more selective. You must have UMNO connections, yet the connections must be very strong, otherwise you will be disappointed like Mustapha Ong.

If he had not converted, I don't think his son can get Petronas scholarship to study in Oxford, reserved only for bumis. I am not denying that his son is not smart, on the contrary I think Omar Ong is a smart boy, but being a Chinese, he won't be able to get such a prestigious scholarship. It is also the fact that he is regarded as Muslim and Malay that Omar Ong got the scholarship. Also Mustapha Ong was very good buddy to Aziz Shamsuddin, then Education Minister, so that could have strengthened his son's application for Petronas scholarship, and also maybe other "jalan2" for Mustapha Ong's business or investments, classified as bumi.

anon 8.19 pm,

This DKK called Kadir Sheikh kadir@ mamak bowtie (he likes to wear bow tie)is one of those who forgot he was Melayu when he visited India. There he would simply behave like a Tamil. Only in Malaysia when he is among Melayu did he try to be more Melayu than them. He was the MP of Kulim/Bandar Bahru and some taxi drivers I know said that when he met some Tamils alone, he told them to speak to him in Tamil, after making sure that no Melayus are around! Can you beat it? Mamak kadir is not sincere, he only wants bumi status, marry beautiful Malay woman (half his age) as his 2nd wife, builds big beautiful palace in Baling, his hometown.
When MIC lost the Lunas by-election to Keadilan in Nov 2000, the UMNO leaders humiliated Mamak kadir by letting him be present to talk to the reporters. His brothers Musa Sheikh Fadzir and Aziz Sheikh Fadzir are equally opportunistic. Musa was the deputy UMNO division chief of Bukit Mertajam when Ibrahim Saad was the division chief. When Ibrahim was with Anwar and riding high, Musa bodek ampu him. But when Ibrahim fell out of favour after losing Permatang pauh by-election against Wan Azizah in 1999, Musa stabbed him in the back, took over from his as UMNO division chief BM. Aziz sheikh fadzir nearly lost in Kuala Ketil dun seat in 2004 general election because the Chinese and Indians voted against him for threatening to burn down Suqiu h/q. Aziz won very narrowly because of Pak Lah's popularity. In 2008, Kadir Sheikh Fadzir stepped down as MP for Kulim/Bandar Baru. Azimi Daim, Adun for Bandar Bahru, wanted to contest the seat, but Kadir lobbied for his brother. Not only that. They played Azimi out and Azimi lost to the PAS candidate in Bandar Bahru in 2008 GE. But Aziz too lost to Zul Nordin of PKRM. This was because the Chinese in Kulim still remembered how he threatened to burn down Suqiu h/q a few years ago. Aziz knew this and tried to get the MCA Kulim to help him get the support of the Chinese. Still they rejected him. The Chinese coffee shop owners in Junjong and other parts of Kulim
told their kakis to close their doors if Aziz came to campaign among them. They pasted a lot of posters telling the Chinese not to vote for Aziz. Aziz organized a dinner for the Chinese with the help of the MCA. But very few Chinese turned up. In the end Aziz lost his brother's seat to PKRM.
