Ahli perniagaan yang dikatakan pro-Pakatan Harapan, Koon Yew Yin diselar banyak pihak kerana mengeluarkan kenyataan biadab dengan mendakwa anggota tentera di negara ini tidak melakukan apa-apa selain makan dan tidur sahaja.
Dia berkata demikian melalui tulisannya berhubung cadangan mengurangkan jumlah penjawat awam di Malaysia dalam laman blog koonyewyin.com pada 12 Ogos.
"Malah, hampir kesemua mereka tidak pernah melepaskan tembakan kecuali semasa latihan menembak.
"Sebahagian daripada mereka sepatutnya menggantikan pekerja asing di ladang-ladang FELDA," katanya.
Cadangannya yang lain adalah menggesa kerajaan menghentikan pengambilan penjawat awam baharu dan memberi notis persaraan kepada kakitangan yang khidmatnya tidak lagi diperlukan.
Selain itu, dia meminta kerajaan melaksanakan Dasar Ekonomi Baharu (DEB) agar tidak bersifat eksklusif terhadap golongan bumiputera walaupun sebenarnya dasar itu tidak lagi diteruskan mulai 1991.
"Kerajaan mesti mengamalkan meritokrasi dalam pemilihan dan kenaikan pangkat kakitangan. Dengan cara ini, keseluruhan perkhidmatan awam akan menjadi lebih baik dan tidak ramai kakitangan diperlukan.
"endidikan adalah kunci kejayaan setiap negara dan guru-guru memainkan peranan penting. Pada masa ini hampir semua guru adalah Melayu. Kerajaan tidak sepatutnya mengambil guru-guru berdasarkan bangsa tetapi berdasarkan meritokrasi," katanya.

Sementara itu, Naib Ketua Dewan Pemuda Pas, Ahmad Fadhli Shaari berpandangan, orang seperti Yew Yin layak dilucutkan kerakyatannya.
"Hantar sahaja ke mana-mana benua yang sanggup menerima, tidak rugi Malaysia hilang manusia seperti ini," katanya seperti dipetik daripada laporan Harakahdaily pada 13 Ogos.
Para netizen yang berang dengan kebiadaban Yew Yin turut mengecamnya beramai-ramai dan meminta dia menghargai jasa Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (ATM) menjaga keamanan negara.

Timbalan Menteri Pertahanan, Liew Chin Tong dalam kenyataan melalui laman Facebook Kementerian Pertahanan menyatakan kekesalan terhadap kenyataan Yew Yin dan meminta semua pihak agar berhati-hati dalam mengeluarkan kenyataan.
Yew Yin sepatutnya ingat jika tiada anggota tentera yang sentiasa sanggup berkorban nyawa mempertahankan negara, keamanan tidak akan wujud dan dia tidak akan dapat mengumpul harta sehingga menjadi kaya-raya. - CARI

dah mmg bangsa lain pun taknak jadi cikgu. dah ngape nk salahkan org melayu?
yg Cox Bazaar tu bukan ke tentera kita ke buat hospital?
dan lagi satu kebakaran unit CCU Sultanah Aminah dulu
bukankah tentera buat khemah atau menghhantar bantuan buat ward bergerak ke? i tak sure istilah tepat sorry
Daripada suruh askar jadi labour tukar pekerja asing kat ladang ladang , lebih baik letak pengkhianat pengkhianat negara kat lapangsasar jadi target untuk tentera buat latihan menembak.
PETALING JAYA: Veterans group National Patriots Association (Patriot) has hit out at recent suggestions that the manpower of the Malaysian armed forces be diverted to help with plantation works and community projects, saying such calls show an ignorance of the role of the armed forces.
“They are certainly not cheap labour. They are trained professional killers our nation cannot do without,” said Patriot president Mohamed Arshad Raji.
The retired brigadier-general was reacting to prominent Perak tycoon Koon Yew Yin, who in a recent blog post on improving the civil service, claimed that armed forces personnel “are doing nothing except eating and sleeping”.
“In fact, almost all of them have never fired a shot except at target practice. Some of them should replace the foreign workers in the Felda plantations,” the vocal businessman wrote on his website this week.
The remarks were criticised by Deputy Defence Minister Liew Chin Tong, who urged Koon to learn more about the sacrifices of the armed forces.
Patriot recalled a similar suggestion by former Sabah chief minister Harris Salleh, who proposed that soldiers be made to carry out government projects in rural communities.
“Suggestions from both men are ridiculous and show their sheer ignorance of the role of the armed forces,” Arshad said.
He said Malaysian military personnel are still occupied during peacetime, including guarding the borders and being despatched abroad for risky peace-keeping missions.
“Being in peacetime does not mean the military personnel are doing nothing, as what Koon opined,” said Arshad. “Their main preoccupation is to train for war. This, the civilians and politicians cannot comprehend as they do not see the possibility of any war.”
Arshad said the strength of the Malaysian armed forces lies in its discipline and the high morale of its military personnel.
“If our military is disorganised, poorly trained, ill disciplined and low in morale, our leaders lose esteem and gain no respect, an element very necessary in international relations,” he added.
Arshad described the military personnel as “professional killers” who are “highly skilled in their respective roles”.
“They do jobs civilian cannot do. They are trained to go through and be able to endure hardship. All of them understand that the moment they sign to be enlisted, they have to be prepared to die, even be sacrificed for the success of any vital mission.”
