Is this really democratic country ? If yes, why the goverment won’t allow the HINDRAF leaders and protester to expose their dissatisfaction with PEACEFUL GATHERING ?

racial division occurs commonly in many countries the world over. we do not need to look far, in countries like Fiji where the indians are not even allowed to have land ownership. i am not saying that racial division is right, but why the focus on race and equality when we are faced with bigger pressing issues like poverty in Malaysia.

what i reckon is all these wasted energies of demanding for equality could have been better directed if people extract their heads from out off the sand, lower their rice bowls for once, and share whatever they have in it with the people who are having a difficult time trying to fight they way against the evil impacts of globalisation.

Bumiputra status is given to local majority merely a walking stick 30 years ago. The status to help them improve in life but this handicap support had been turned into they rights. This doesn’t mean they are unsuccessful. They are very successful with over 30 years exclusive support.

Hindraf has achieved its objective. They have tried to relay their message to Malaysian government but turn down. They turn it to the global attention and they got it. It sad to see Malaysian government taking measurement against Hindraf movement instead off listening to their cry for help. Anyway, how does minority able to highlight their problem in this country? In a country media were filtered by the ruling party.

It’s Tanah tumpahnya darahku

It saddens me and sordidly pains to see this had to eventually happen.

That said, we’d it coming actually and yet we’ll witness a deja vu where there’ll be denials, and more denials and subsequently the usual blame the world parody for our self-inflicted woes and failings.

Current PM is a nice guy. But not too sure if he would have political will, guts, humility and maturity to admit that affirmative policies have gone awry.

We tell proudly the world over that we are a melting pot of multi-cultural ethnic diversity, respectfully co-exist and pliantly tolerant of other race and creed in beautiful M’sia. Which it true … well, true until till the ugly truth had frothed out now.

When one witnesses one race dictates themselves as the de facto cooks and the rest of races are in the pot, the simmering and boiling becomes a perfect recipe for spicy spillover.

Where does one draw a line of intent between being told to go ahead enjoy the simmering tepid water in the pot that we are preparing you other races, to soothe your anxieties while we figure something out, and left the other races in the pot in eternity to boil because protracted in-fightings amongst the “righteous” cooks themselves to claim credits for the recipe.

Affirmative policies is the recipe. It was a “constituted” policy for a “beleaguered” race to march 2 steps forward and others “mandated” to accede and retreat 1 step back. Essentially, it was sold hook and line to bring up an indigenous race (by definition, actually they are ones who are still in the jungle) to be more equal than others, and yet with equal opportunities for all. How does that work out is anyone guess. Other races’ representatives then must have been charmed or had derelict and lapsed in their responsibilities.

How these injustice was tolerated for so so long was because essentially the country was blessed with an economy which was fortuitously doing rather well. And having other races chosen leaders as muppets and mouth pieces in government also help to smoother the ruffles along the way.

But more importantly or rather fortunately, the economy growth had jobs aplenty all round albeit not so equal opportunities in highly tertiary learnings, paid jobs and/or business. Other races had scraps and just had to make do. That has made other races just got more resoundingly creative and hard-working to send their next generation for further education overseas and/or private universities. It would allow the next generation a glimmer of hope to eke out a better living in M’sia or elsewhere. It had forestall the crisis.

And as previous PM had observed a notable affirmative failings, cooks became very arrogant yet soft and complacent.

All told, protracted affirmative actions have lost untold billions of dollars in monetary terms of wealth and talents because:
a. other races had just to emigrate to become a better 2nd class citizen elsewhere
b. continued satirical infighting amongst the cooks
c. expended wealth in tertiary education because of sub-standard local universities and/or unequal entry opportunities (former leads to point out incidentally, why some of the brightest cooks are schooled instead in the best renown overseas tertiary , courtesy of the local taxpayers)
d. expended wealth in business opportunities overseas because local affirmative practices curtail equal opportunities

And now, more valuable and intangible to be lost – trust.

50 years of independence from the British colonial ruling and taught us to right way to drive is on the left-side, letter of civil law, communicate in English language.

For all the Empire misgivings, many wouldn’t have remembered today. But if the present government does not become wiser and heed these warnings and take bold correctives action .. other races may get so frustrated and not be forgiving. And M’sia may not be a beautiful country anymore ..

Darah tumpahnya darahku

Let us all pray it meant blood shed for loyalty to our country and not a blood bath because of race divide like what’s happening in Sri Lanka or Iraq today.

I want to come home to a paradise in beautiful M’sia .. but this had been said of Sri Lanka .. praying hard it would not be another deja vu come true..

The ruling political party UMNO is too corrupted & inefficient.
While the sub-parties of MIC, MCA, etc are all ‘nice dogs’ to UMNO. Listening to them and ‘YES SIR’.
Aren’t you there to protect your people?

Samy Vellu & Ong Ka Ting should step down together with Badawi.

Anyway the opposition will win the election as in Australia.
