Racist. Racist. Racist……….(50 times)

Now almost 50 years of independence, we really should review the social contract because it has not served its purpose. Somewhere along the line, it got twisted further and a religious dimension was brought in.

This is because 3rd generation non-malays born and bred on this soil is considered 'pendatang' and second class citizens. Whereas recent Indonesian newcomers and Pakistani husbands to Malays enjoy better privileges.

Now this agenda is religiously skewed and that is how the Indonesians and the Pakistanis are enjoying better privileges at the expense of 3rd or 4th generation non-Malay Malaysians.

This also probably explains why the Orang Asli still do not fully enjoy the privileges of the social agenda.  The NEP has only served a few. Its original motives were noble because weather you or I agree Malays do need a lot of  encouragement but not the sort that have been getting as opposed to the ones in Singapore.

In the 1970s in Singapore, O and A levels pass marks for Malays: 28%, Indians: 65%, Chinese: 75%, others: 50%.

This NEP discrimination only made the non-Malays smarter and the Malays more dumb. Pass mark for Singapore Malays in  state: 50%.

Singapore allow them to leave Singapore any time they want but they choose to stay because their kids are properly  educate, got better opportunities, housing and health care……….And they are truly loyal to Singapore.

I would like to add further to what has mentioned.

(1) Singapore's first president was a Malay. The republic has also had two Indian presidents including the present  one.

(2) The republic Singapore has had two Indian deputy prime ministers including the current one.

(3) It has had two Indian foreign ministers.

(4) The country's present minister for education is an Indian.

(5) A former police chief (equivalent to Inspector-General of Police) was, yes, you guessed it, an Indian.

Can we ever expect such important government positions in Malaysia to be occupied by those representing the minority  communities in Malaysia? I am afraid the minorities here can only dream. As I said, the racial disharmony in Malaysia is not the cause of Chinese, Indians or Malays.
The fault and blame lies squarely and directly on Umno and Umno Youth leaderships, and their barrel of race-based  politics and policies.

Are the Malays so impoverished in intellect and ability that they need handouts to survive?

The alternative already exists - the day the Malays rely on themselves, not Umno, is the day they write their own  destiny.

Protection for the Malays means isolation for the Malays. As long as they ask for more protection, they will be  isolated from the progress of the world.

In the end, they will be hiding in caves like the Taliban. Nowhere to go because of inadequate skills, or skills that  are not useful to the society and humankind at large.

Income and employment statistics show the Chinese are still ahead of other races but nowhere near pre-NEP levels.

The aids and opportunities provided under the NEP, if given to non-Malays would propel them sky high in half the  period.

The hardship makes us better, stronger and wiser. Hence we always try our best for the better of our next generation.

If you Malays don't like the non-malays here, then go back to Sumatra, Jawa, or wherever your ancestors came from and  give this land back to its rightful master, the Orang Asli!
