Dear Dr. Bakri,

In your last paragraph, you brought up an “unstated” policy of MOE, or our government. Policies like this one that are totally undemocratic and in fact, unlawful are being practised to perpetuate Ketuanan Melayu.

The civil servants are interpreting or more accurately, deciding what the policies are instead of our parliament. Because there are now far fewer civil servants of other races, almost all policies are biased racially or rather implemented with a racial bias. This is totally wrong and should not be allowed to go on further.

Worrisome isn’t it? We have no one to blame except ourselves! Every 4.5 years malaysians get sweet-talked into voting in the same batch of monkeys, again and again. We deserve to be treated so and should not complain.

Challenger, you see, my friend, our leaders are Malay leaders first and Malaysian leaders second. Their priority is Malays first under their concept of Ketuanaan Melayu. It’s not about to change anytime soon as they already indicated that the NEP will be extended to 2020. They don’t seem to give 2 hoots to globalisation even though the competition is knocking at our doors.
They rather admit under qualified bumiputra students into public universities under the fake meritocratic system than give up to bright non Bumiputra students. You’ll probably agree already how screwed up our education standard is and it’s not even the end. At the end of 2020 I am sure they will extend the NEP for another donkey years and when our oil dries out Malaysia will become a 4th world banana republic thanks to the current batch of racist leaders we have voted in.

Hi Jan,

Although I’m staying in Singapore, but I’m still a Malaysian, I really love this country. I do plan to go back and contribute back to my mother land. I want to let every Malaysian know how fierce the challenge out there. Now is not only India and China, Russia, Arabic countries, South America, East Europe…….. everyone is meaning business, they want to grow their economy, their want to share the profit among their nation, and they want to grow….. How about us? Are we still want to continue with our race issue, are we still fight among ourself for our own benefit? Are we calling ourself Malaysian or Bumiputera or Malaysian Indian or Malaysian Chinese? Is the color still that important now? Or is the future of our contry more important?

If all the leaders always shouting on how to protect Malaysia, are they doing something to protect it? Are they protecting through some special birth rights? Whatever rights it is, I strongly believe that, teaching a person to fish is far far more effective than you catch the fish for them.

-the end-

Challenger, you shouldn’t be worried about this country. You should stay put in wherever you are and don’t come back. This country is literally going to the dogs and there’s no turning back.
If you look deeply all the problems in this country started when the majority race of Malaysia started to have this notion of Ketuanaan Melayu and their perception of entitlement based on their birthright. The problems became worse under Dr Mahathir for that is the time when most race divisive policies were implemented. It will take a revolution to change things and it will be very costly if it ever happens.
Many non bumiputras wish to leave this god forsaken place but can’t so be thankful for your current position.

Hi Malaysians who still love Malaysia,

I think most of the viewers here are from the different places around the world, me too!!!! Currently I’m staying in Singapore (7 years). I’m very sad to see Malaysia is going backward day by day and witness Singapore is growing at the same time,

when I saw the Singapore government is trying to welcome more investors, the Malaysia government is trying to “kick” the investors away. Why I say so? When everyone is going to do business with the world’s 2 fastest growing countries (India and China), Malaysia pula close the door.

For example, the Indian software engineers can’t get the permit to work in MSC and the comment from our dearest Najip on the banning “Mandarin is required” on the job advertisement issues. I don’t know whether he had read the TIME magazine when he commented on that issues, the TIME

These kind of policies really make me worry about the future of Malaysia? Is the Malaysia government scared of challenge? Or are they too protective?

Montreal is a cosmopolitan city and surprisingly its citizen are bilingual and comprises of many ethnic background. In a French speaking province McGill has strived as the leading Canadian university. Montreal is also the cultural center for Canada. Wonderful city.
