By Kee Thuan Chye
In the mood for celebrations?
Every time the Barisan Nasional gets less than the expected support from Chinese voters at an election, the question invariably pops up among the petty-minded: Why are the Chinese ungrateful?
So now, after the Hulu Selangor by-election, it’s not surprising to read in Utusan Malaysia a piece that asks: “Orang Cina Malaysia, apa lagi yang anda mahu?” (Chinese of Malaysia, what more do you want?)
Normally, something intentionally provocative and propagandistic as this doesn’t deserve to be honoured with a reply. But even though I’m fed up of such disruptive and ethnocentric polemics, this time I feel obliged to reply – partly because the article has also been published, in an English translation, in the Straits Times of Singapore.
I wish to emphasise here that I am replying not as a Chinese Malaysian but, simply, as a Malaysian.
Let me say at the outset that the Chinese have got nothing more than what any citizen should get. So to ask “what more” it is they want, is misguided. A correct question would be “What do the Chinese want?”
All our lives, we Chinese have held to the belief that no one owes us a living. We have to work for it. Most of us have got where we are by the sweat of our brow, not by handouts or the policies of the government.
We have come to expect nothing – not awards, not accolades, not gifts from official sources. (Let’s not lump in Datukships, that’s a different ball game.) We know that no Chinese who writes in the Chinese language will ever be bestowed the title of Sasterawan Negara, unlike in Singapore where the literatures of all the main language streams are recognised and honoured with the Cultural Medallion, etc.
We have learned we can’t expect the government to grant us scholarships. Some will get those, but countless others won’t. We’ve learned to live with that and to work extra hard in order to support our children to attain higher education – because education is very important to us. We experience a lot of daily pressure to achieve that. Unfortunately, not many non-Chinese realise or understand that. In fact, many Chinese had no choice but to emigrate for the sake of their children’s further education. Or to accept scholarships from abroad, many from Singapore, which has inevitably led to a brain drain.
The writer of the Utusan article says the Chinese “account for most of the students” enrolled in “the best private colleges in Malaysia”. Even so, the Chinese still have to pay a lot of money to have their children study in these colleges. And to earn that money, the parents have to work very hard. The money does not fall from the sky.
The writer goes on to add: “The Malays can gain admission into only government-owned colleges of ordinary reputation.” That is utter nonsense. Some of these colleges are meant for the cream of the Malay crop of students and are endowed with the best facilities. They are given elite treatment.
The writer also fails to acknowledge that the Chinese are barred from being admitted to some of these colleges. As a result, the Chinese are forced to pay the exorbitant fees to attend private colleges. Furthermore, the Malays are also welcome to enrol in the private colleges, and many of them do. It’s, after all, a free enterprise.
Plain and simple reason
The writer claims that the Chinese live “in the lap of luxury” and lead lives that are “more than ordinary” whereas the Malays in Singapore, their minority-race counterparts there, lead “ordinary lives”. Such sweeping statements sound inane especially when they are not backed up by definitions of “lap of luxury” and “ordinary lives”. They sound hysterical, if not hilarious as well, when they are not backed up by evidence. It’s surprising that a national daily like Utusan Malaysia would publish something as idiosyncratic as that. And the Straits Times too.
The writer quotes from a survey that said eight of the 10 richest people in Malaysia are Chinese. Well, if these people are where they are, it must have also come from hard work and prudent business sense. Is that something to be faulted?
If the writer had said that some of them achieved greater wealth through being given crony privileges and lucrative contracts by the government, there might be a point, but even then, it would still take hard work and business acumen to secure such phenomenal success. Certainly, Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary, who is one of the 10, would take exception if it were said that he has not worked hard and lacks business savvy.
Most important, it should be noted that the eight Chinese tycoons mentioned in the survey represent but a minuscule percentage of the wider Chinese Malaysian population. To extrapolate that because eight Chinese are filthy rich, the rest of the Chinese must therefore live in the lap of luxury and lead more than ordinary lives would be a mockery of the truth. The writer has obviously not met the vast numbers of very poor Chinese. Even the middle-class ones don’t enjoy luxury when so much of what they earn go towards their children’s education.
The crux of the writer’s article is that the Chinese are not grateful to the government by not voting for Barisan Nasional at the Hulu Selangor by-election. But this demonstrates the thinking of either a simple mind or a closed one.
Why did the Chinese by and large not vote for BN? Because it’s corrupt. Plain and simple. Let’s call a spade a spade. And BN showed how corrupt it was during the campaign by throwing bribes to the electorate, including promising RM3 million to the Chinese school in Rasa.
The Chinese were not alone in seeing this corruption. The figures are unofficial but one could assume that at least 40 per cent of Malays and 45 per cent of Indians who voted against BN in that by-election also had their eyes open.
So, what’s wrong with not supporting a government that is corrupt? If the government is corrupt, do we continue to support it?
To answer the question then, what do the Chinese want? They want a government that is not corrupt; that can govern well and proves to have done so; that tells the truth rather than lies; that follows the rule of law; that upholds rather than abuses the country’s sacred institutions. BN does not fit that description, so the Chinese don’t vote for it. This is not what only the Chinese want. It is something every sensible Malaysian, regardless of race, wants. Is that something that is too difficult to understand?
Some people think that the government is to be equated with the country, and therefore if someone does not support the government, they are being disloyal to the country. This is a complete fallacy. BN is not Malaysia. It is merely a political coalition that is the government of the day. Rejecting BN is not rejecting the country.
A sense of belonging
Let’s be clear about this important distinction. In America, the people sometimes vote for the Democrats and sometimes for the Republicans. Voting against the one that is in government at the time is not considered disloyalty to the country.
By the same token, voting against Umno is also voting against a party, not against a race. And if the Chinese or whoever criticise Umno, they are criticising the party; they are not criticising Malays. It just happens that Umno’s leaders are Malay.
It is time all Malaysians realised this so that we can once and for all dispel the confusion. Let us no more confuse country with government. We can love our country and at the same time hate the government. It is perfectly all right.
I should add here what the Chinese don’t want. We don’t want to be insulted, to be called pendatang, or told to be grateful for our citizenship. We have been loyal citizens; we duly and dutifully pay taxes; we respect the country’s constitution and its institutions. Our forefathers came to this country generations ago and helped it to prosper. We continue to contribute to the country’s growth and development.
Would anyone like to be disparaged, made to feel unwelcome, unwanted? For the benefit of the writer of the Utusan article, what MCA president Chua Soi Lek means when he says the MCA needs to be more vocal is that it needs to speak up whenever the Chinese community is disparaged. For too long, the MCA has not spoken up strongly enough when Umno politicians and associates like Ahmad Ismail, Nasir Safar, Ahmad Noh and others before them insulted the Chinese and made them feel like they don’t belong. That’s why the Chinese have largely rejected the MCA.
You see, the Chinese, like all human beings, want self-respect. And a sense of belonging in this country they call home. That is all the Chinese want, and have always wanted. Nothing more.
The Utusan Malaysia article:
Orang Cina Malaysia, apa lagi yang anda mahu?
Sibu b’U’y election is becoming an election for ghost. The main character is an unknown.
http://veryfatlady.blogspot.com/
The Chinese want the NEP to be abolished before they can give support to BN.
The Chinese rejected the MCA because the timid party, for fear of upsetting Big Brother UMNO, dared not speak for the Chinese.
Najib said UMNO must be the leader of the pack because MCA and MIC are weak. Najib’s words will further alienate Chinese support because by making such statement Najib has made it clear to the Chinese that MCA and MIC have no say in BN.
Sometimes I just wonder why there are still 20 over percent of Chinese supporting BN which is UMNO. Are they blind, mentaly handicap or ignorant or all of it. Any sensible Chinese will avoid BN (UMNO) like plague.
BN and particulary UMNO had been lying to the Chinese for too long and using abusing languages on our forefathers or foremothers. In simple language the Chinese must stand united to wipe out UMNO. PAS is definitely a better alternative of UMNO for PAS preaches true Islam but UMNO will preach anything to get votes. They will even pray to the Satan if Satan can help to get you to vote for them.
True,all sensible Chinese should vote out Umno and BN as they are all rotten to the core.Utusan Malaysia and NST are not worth reading at all as their articles and reports are biased and skewed towards BN.To allow them to rule for 53 years is far too long.It is time they should pack and go away for the sake of a better Malaysia.
That is a nice reply..but I think the writer did fall into the traps to talk as a Chinese…and replied what the Chinese want.
The actual fact is…that is what non racist Malaysians want.
At Rockybru’s blog….the pro Najib and Mahathir blog…. sometimes I post… whenever I am in the mood to throw back insults and ridicule those UMNO toads.
Always..the say I carry Anwar and LKS balls…..which is totally not true.
I belong to no parties and carry no one balls to earn a living.
They like to accuse me back what I accused them to be…and saying Anwar and LKS are as corrupted and all UMNO politicians.
I always reply….Najib will be the first to put Anwar in jail for corruptions…and not wait so long on the unfinished sodomy case.
Same goes for LKS….and when these two PR giants taken off from the political scene..how powerful Najb will become?
Why has he not done that?
Yes….the writer has said it all…but I have the extra passion for change of government…now that we do have a strong alternative.
No need to choose….just change it…see are we better off or worst that before.
Worst that before..change it back.
That’s all I ask Malaysians to do for their own good.
But be fair…PR cannot perform miracles. Give them at least two terms to see results.
Yes..the power of voters can now be shown with no fear nor favoritism.
UMNO supporters..should live with dignities and principles in life…and vote for change and stop being used and fooled.
The inferiority complex …putting out a superiority front can be seen by so many hypocrites in UMNO today.
Chinese M’sians want a nation dat all M’sians can b proud of
Chinese M’sians want all M’sians 2 work 2gether in a system dat empowers all 2 improve n prosper 2gether
Chinese M’sians want all economically disadvantaged M’sians 2 b taught how 2 fish n 2 move up d social n economic ladders
Chinese M’sians want 2 put a stop 2 d walloping of national wealth n resources by a certain group of self-enriching antinationals
2 achieve d above, Chinese M’sians want all M’sians 2 get rid of racist n corrupt UmnoB/BN which divide n rule n surely lead d nation 2 disunity n 2 a national debt to GDP ratio below that of the PIGS
So, what’s wrong with what d Chinese M’sians want?
All patriotic M’sians should join Chinese M’sians 2 achieve what they want
Chinese M’sians r frustrated n angry over d slow pace of progress of M’sia, esp in comparison with d tremendous progress, during d same period, of d little red dot down south, despite having hardly any human n natural resources
Chinese M’sians want 2 work with all patriotic M’sians with d vision, passion, n will power 2 make M’sia a truly multiracial n multicultural nation where all prosper 2gether
First, we must all get rid of d incompetent, corrupt n racist gomen
Is this an impossible dream?
Even before this question is asked, the question really is what the Chinese want still relevant? No doubt BN cannot win back Penang, Selangor and also even Perak but to what extent the Chinese can change the Federal Govt through their opinion?
The bottom line is no matter how progressive the Chinese minds are, they are no great influencer, opinion-shapers. Their, meaning Chinese here and everywhere, ideas don’t shape the views of many anywhere and certaintly do not lead anyone.
The Chinese influence are generally economic still – they don’t influence anything unless the economic reasons are compelling. Its so much more true in this country. They don’t even influence in technology which is the same as any general ideas. If they don’t influence these areas then, their views don’t mean much unless there is economic pain involved.
Najib has moved Ketuanan Melayu one step forward. Under Mahathir the ideas were behind closed doors, the rhetorics more for getting Malay votes then any real influence over other groups. Najib dictated terms to MIC and behind closed doors to MCA and it worked! In the past, there would have been backlash. Its real leadership over the leaders of other groups. It may not be the choice of the serf groups but power is power whether by force or not.
While the celebration of UMNO/BN was over the top, there is real cause for UMNO/BN. It may be pyrrhic in the end because Ketuanan Melayu is inherently wrong but in the forseeable future, there is no reason to fear for the right-wing of UMNO that their agenda is not moving forward. In fact, the celebration is justified.
In the end of course, the Chinese will have the last laugh but by then, really by then, the cost could be astronomical to them too. What price their ‘practicalism’? Ideas matter, individual rights matter and the Chinese in this country proved that through their failures..
If you are born stupid and have to be spoon-fed for the rest of your life, surely all your off-springs will be even more stupid, and eventually your future generations will be born without legs and brains.

///Chinese of Malaysia, what more do you want?///
In context the word, “more” as in “what more” implies that the Malaysian Chinese have already been accorded what to the questioner as sufficient or reasonable rights by BN govt so that it puzzles the questioner why they are still discontented as evinced by their overwhelming rejection of the ruling coalition in the Hulu Selangor by election.
What the Chinese want is equal opportunity under the Malaysian Sun, and synonymous with it, “self-respect” and “a sense of belonging” in this country as Kee Thuan Chye puts it.
In asking such a question, the Questioner invariably proceeds on the implicit value judgment of a ‘less entitled’ position of the Chinese by virtue of their forefathers being immigrants to begin with…. and therefore the existing rights enjoyed by them including :
· citizenship rights;
· rights to make an economic living on their own without restraints producing eight of the 10 richest people in Malaysia notwithstanding without special privileges;
· rights to pursue their own religion language and culture unimpeded without being subject to assimilation, whether forced or gradual
are more than sufficient as compared to Chinese minorities in other countries.
The gap between the Questioner – and those like Kee who seek to both reply and rebut – lies in the Chinese not accepting, to begin with, the Questioner’s first implicit premise of a ‘less entitled’ position with which to evaluate everything that emanates from such position thereafter.
After 3 or 4 generations, why manacle Chinese to a so called Social Contract supposedly forged half a century ago? As much as any individual ought not, in fairness, to be punished or disentitled from full rights by reasons of the “sins” if any or arrangements of his great grand parents, so today’s Chinese should not be so bound and ought to be accorded equal rights – for they earn them, not just as loyal citizens paying taxes – in fact more than their share of taxes – but also built and developed the wealth of the country of which everyone elses share and benefit if they bother take responsibility for their own well being to work diligently. If fact the very champion of social contract TDM was the one who admitted that taking KL as an example, if one were minus off all the buildings owned by Chinese and erected from their efforts/wealth creation what else was left???
For these reasons the Chinese want and feel entitled to equal opportunity under the Malaysian Sun. They don’t want to be made bogeyman for every ill that has nothing to do with them. It is in accord with the the World’s values of human rights and freedom from racial discrimination as enshrined in the UN Declaration of Human Rights. Even the last vestige of apatheid in South Africa has been dismantled. Anything less is an effront to human dignity. They reject the BN and MCA in particular because they frustrate their aspirations in these respects As a further effront MCA is perceived to have sold the Chinese rights and is subservient to those who seek to keep the Chinese constitutency under permanent hegemony based on some nebulous concept of “Social Contract” of a misty past that present generations of Chinese do not feel bound.
This is what we can expect from a rubbish news paper, Utusan Malaysia… maggots survive on sh#t!
One thing, this cheap newspaper failed to understand, we Chinese are a proud and diligent
race, we owe our success purely on our own efforts…no clutches required!
chengho, you are definitely not one of us!…you will never understand what is self-respect and be self-sufficient!
Don’t you ever feel tired, continuously, stretching your hands out for cherry pies?
This is not ‘What the Chinese want’ but ‘What all right thinking Malaysians want’.
Right thinking Malaysians may not be perfect
Each one has his or her own defects
But they are far better in fact
Than the corrupt people with political contact
Because their livelihood job prospects
Is based on diligence, ability and tact
Coupled with the transparent honesty aspect
If the ruling govt leaders were trustworthy with their reputation intact
Then the nation will prosper gaining global competitiveness and respect
But they have failed the nation in fact
With their corruption, abuse of power and neglect
Fence-sitters, wise up and support PR with immediate effect
I am a 3rd generation ethnic Chinese born in Malaysia. I am Malaysian. People with fascist ideologies would like to make me feel I am an immigrant. But I am proud to be Malaysian!
The answer to Utusan Malaysia’s question is we want a clean and efficient government. A government which does not divide us by our ethnic origins. A government which is fair to Malaysians of all ethnic origins.
In other words we want a government which is interested in Nation Building. Not a government that seeks to divide and rule like our colonial masters.
With the kind of advertisement by the newspapers and TV, I would think Chinese likes to have money from the government. This happened during the Ulu Selangor by election. Najiv promised Chinese the big money and the Chinese rushed to Putra Jaya to collect the money right after the election.
What do the chinese want?
Not umno stupid. And not mca idiot. And certainly not bn. They want a two-party system. And that is for the better of the country and everyone in it. Look at britain. The conservative messed things up after several decades in control. Dont get me wrong. They did well initially. Its just that after a while a political party must re-invent itself to remain relevant and to adapt to new situations. That is never quite possible with any political party, I suppose – especially the party in power. The chinese communist party attempted a planned revamp with the cultural revolution. That was a disaster. It is not something easy to do. Deng Xiaopeng has better luck with his experiment on free market economy. Anyway, in UK the Labour took over from the conservative and they too did good for a while. But now they are in trouble with their unpopular policies. Power blinds people and numbs their senses. And soon the interest of the people turns inevitably into the interest of the party. In jibbyland, we have gone a large step further. From interest of the party, we are now looking at interest of a core group of party leaders. In short we are pretty close to zimbabwe. Actually, I fear taht Mubage is within smelling distance. Political parties and politicians can be in trouble and be in danger of losing their control but the country should not be made to suffer as a result of that. At least for people in uk there is always a choice. Just vote the opposition in or the government of the day out. After having been shut up of power for some 15yrs, the oppositioin would have suitably re-invented themselves.
And as it is it may already be too late for utusan to pose the question “Orang Cina Malaysia, apa lagi yang anda mahu?” now whether as an insult or as a genuine olive branch. I am sure utusan meant to insult more than anything else. Anyway time and tide are two things that never waits anyone. And in step with the rest of the world, the chinese community in malaysia has moved on. Just tune in to any local chinese radio station (esp 988 and myfm). Pay some attention to the content of those broadcast. Listen to the artistes and the mandarin songs aired. You will never know where they are from – HK, Taiwan, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Korea, US, Canada or even Japan. And also pay some attention to what call-in listeners have to say. They are very young people. The things they say are no different from those said by listeners in those other places I mentioned. Their likes and dislikes, their views and behaviour and generally about things around them and society. These young people are very international indeed in their outlook. Over the next 10 yrs of so these people will be leaving school or college and entering the society. To them the colonial days would be an absolute alien. Social contract? Huh? Wots dat? Umnoputras special rights? Stuff it man. Not a likely bother to them. They are extremely mobile. 20-30 yrs ago people move out of kampungs to work in towns and cities. Today and more so in the near future they would be hopping from country to country. All of them I suspect have family members or friends working or residing outside malaysia. I knew of someone who told me that he was then only person in his family left now in the country. Even his parents have migrated.
The umno gobermen certainly looks like one gigantic slow moving ancient long neck dinosaur. And utusan thought it was timely to ask that stupid question.
Oh boy.
Not all parents can afford to send their lowly educated children to private skills training institutions. Many are forced to save their hard earned money or to work harder to earn extra money to provide skills training education and development for their children.
Having completed a skills training programme from a bumi type skills training center (as per JPK’s record) but managed by Ali Baba (as per RoC’s record), we need clarification on the minimum duration and the validity of certificates obtained for the programme as imposed by Jabatan Pembangunan Kemahiran (JPK):-
1. P-115-1 SKM Level 1 (Mekanik Kenderaan Motor) – The training was 3 months instead of 6 months.
2. P-115-2 SKM Level 2 (Mekanik Kenderaan Motor) – The training was 3 months instead of 6 months.
3. P-115-3 SKM Level 3 (Juruteknik Kenderaan Motor) – The training was 2 months instead of 12 months.
Can JPK convince us whether the Malaysian Skills Certificate obtained not in accordance with the provisions of the National Skills Development Act 2006 is valid or useless piece of paper? We want an answer from the government. We have been waiting for the answer for almost 8 months.
The BN government knows that they have no credibility and so they have to adverise the cheque giving ceremony. Simple as that. Rebuild trust in government.
They are still living in the past that all Malaysians care only for bread and butter issues. Now the scenario is changed. Malaysians want more than just bread and butter issue.
PR should continue on their campaign of social justice for all.
Chinese M’sians, like all other patriotic M’sians including like-minded Malay M’sians, want d editors of Utusan Malaysia 2 reflect n search their souls (if they hv) –
Y r they continuously being used as blind barking dogs of UmnoB 2 spread lies n more lies dat incite racial disunity n hatred in this nation?
Y do they not ask constructive questions regarding d failed n corrupt governance of UmnoB/BN?
Y do they not offer positive n constructive advice 2 change 4 d better d lives of economically disadvantaged Malays n nonMalays?
How can they look into d mirror everyday knowing dat they hv d power 2 change d nation 4 d better but instead they abuse d trust n power of good journalism 2 serve as dogs of UmnoB?
R they humans or programmed robots?
///The Utusan Malaysia article:

1. The end of NEP.
2. The end of race-based policies.
3. The end of race-based political parties.
4. The end of UMNO, MCA and MIC.
With the end of the above, corruption would be wiped out. Knowledge-based economy will take root, and the income level of Malaysians would be raised.
Without corruption the police can be expected to keep the place safe with people respecting rule and law.
Without legalised corruption double standards would end. The government institutions such as the judiciary, the MACC and goevernment ministries and department would work for the nation rather than for politicians in power.
Without NEP, Malaysians can be seen to be equal. With equality all human resources produced in the country would be channeled to make this a developed nation, socially and economically.
Only those who are parasites would not want the above, like what the Chinese would hope for. Unfortunately, the parasites make use of the name of the majority to enrich the minority.
The person who had ‘two spoonfuls of Pakistani blood in his body” (page 26, Malaysian Maverick) was the one who tried level hard since the 1960s to remove those two spoonfuls, and is now actively making this country totally polarized by race/religion.
Utusan Malaysia still busy publishing abt I, you, they rather than WE Malaysians

In private firm, unless it is a sole proprietorship, a person who prepare cheque is not the person who sign the cheque so as to avoid conflict of interest.
But in BN, the prime minister is also a finance minister and his brothers in CIMB and Hong Leong Bank too.
There are getting double salary.
All these are conflict of interest……
In other nations, such as China, giving and helping minorities in every which way she could… http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/qinghai/2010-05/03/content_9803148.htm
In our Bolehland and Bodonland, they shun away and rip as much as she could. WHY? Because bunch of suckers, such as Chengho & nnkhoo, from BN/UMNO are the damn losers in preserving their privileges illegally….
Hisham’s recent call for MCA to prove its relevance to the Chinese community is a sign that UMNO is losing patience with MCA. What Hisham hinted out is that if MCA cannot prove its relevance to the Chinese community, the party is not welcome in BN and it should get out of BN.
In fact, UMNO lost faith in MCA at around Chinese New Year when Najib by-passed MCA to greet the Chinese personally in China Town. Earlier there were news reports that UMNO would open its membership to individuals, NGOs and high achievers who could bring benefits to the party suggesting that MCA/Gerakan/MIC were no longer important partners to UMNO in the BN coalition.
MCA is expected to fare badly in the 13th GE unless it pulls out of BN.
It is high time that MCA and MIC get out of BN. Let UMNO be the only race-based party in the country. But would those who enjoy in the name of the Chinese and Indian communities at the expense of the Chinese and Indians give up pretending to be fending Chinese and Indians’ interest? Obviously they do not.
The rich and super rich Chinese complain that MCA did not do enough for them. The ordinary Chinese suffer because those super rich Chinese created the impression, or at least give UMNO politicians the excuse to claim that Chinese are not marginalised. I suggested all along that UMNO should adopt those Chinese as Malays, such as mamakthir had been adopted even he had two spoonfuls of Pakistani blood in his body. That would immediately give the correct statistics to satisfy NEP. It is ironical that NEP should stay on for 40 years just because the few persons were not properly classififed. We should realise of course that the relevant statistics had long proved that NEP had achieved the objective stated by the late Razak. Mamakthir refused to honour Razak’s promise, and now the son of Razak would also not honour the words of his father. He played around with the word model without ending the word policy.
It is time that race-based political parties disappear. If MCA and MIC disappear, then UMNO would have no excuse to remain.
UMNO longs to be a Zimbabwe. A dictator that rules with an iron fist, plundering the coffers of the nation. A ruling party (Zanu PF) that has vigilante that will deal with any opposition. Lies about racial superiority to fool the poor into supporting the ruling party. Steal from the rightful owners to enrich the ruling party elite.
Many whites & Indians are born in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe & has no ties to the country of their forefathers. Yet they are forced out by the dictator’s land grab, harassment (& sometimes rape) by the ruling party vigilante, with no hope for justice nor recourse with the police nor the courts.
Ultimately, the country is in ruins. Hyper inflation. Hyper unemployment. Rule of mob. Systemic corruption & plundering by the ruling elite.
If Mugabe thinks Zimbabwe can prosper without the whites & Indians, he should think again. Idi Amin dis the same thing & see where Uganda is now.
Similarly, if UMNO thinks like Zanu PF, then this country is doom. No one country belongs to one superior race anymore. But if the policies of discrimination takes one drastic step to echo Mugabe’s, then expect an exodus that will make these superior racist happy but will economically ruin our beloved country. Once you start on this path, it’s downhill all the way. Zimbabwe & Uganda are prime examples. Run & plundered by superior race, ruin by the same superior race.
Orang Cina Malaysia, apa lagi lu mahu?
We want to see BN dumped into the toilet bowl and flushed down into the sewerage, never to appear again. That’s what we want. Period.
Malaysian Chinese should ask the Malays “WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT”!!! After all, the NEP was designed to give them FULL AID and it has been indefinitely extended!!!!!
Well, what more is there to say?
I remember that the reporter from a local MSM did not even know who Karpal Singh is!!!
This is the calibre of some of our so-called MSMs!!!
BN- Bias Nation,Bias Nationality>
What we have have here in Malaysia is full fledged corruption.
20 + years ago seeds of corruption sown.
Initially UMNO starts, then it spread to the government.
Seeing protection from prosecution, MIC, MCA and Gerakan also joined hands.
Now the leadership has corrupt files on everybody. Noone speak out because they are too immersed in corruption. Joining politics for wealth. Joining government for wealth.
Now even the private sectors too. I have so far found not one project without nobody expecting nothing in return. Corruption has become the Malaysian culture / norm.
Now hopefully in the changing of the government will change some of that. Alas no.
DAP, PKR, PAS in Selangor (other states I don’t know) also are corrupted. There are always people asking for handout.
It should be, {Utusan, what more you want from Chinese Malaysian}
[Utusan, apa lagi anda mahu dari Orang Cina Malaysia]
The Chinese wants millions.. like what Najib gave to the Felda settlers.
The differences will be…once they get the money…feeling happy and go vote for DAP……..hahahahahahaha
That’s why all know…..Chinese are smart voters….hahhhahaha
Noted more than RM100 millions to Felda Settlers’
In Sibu…less than a total of RM100 million to Chinese schools…bad news for Najib.
Schools need computers..air con rooms…TVs..upgraded scientific equipments…etc etc etc…besides new building.
Surely Najib know all thee things.
Lets see..he bribes to the fullest…to all races…fair and equal.
