CHINESE ALLEGEDLY BEATEN BY MALAYS IN JB CAUSE THEY THOUGHT HE STEALING THEIR RICE BOWL
By KanyeNorthJune 1, 2023
A series of videos emerged online, circulating wildly online alleging that a Chinese man was beaten up by the Malays in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, for “stealing” their rice bowl, after encroaching into the areas where the Malays were working.
In one of the videos, the Chinese man was seen being brutally beaten up by a group of men mercilessly, as the videographer exclaimed “Mampos kau ah sial! Bodoh ni cina” (Rough translation: Die you stupid Chinese”
In another video, a group of men were seen armed with what appeared to be parangs and chasing after a car, attacking the vehicle as onlookers fled the scene.
The other videos showed different angles of the Chinese man being savagely beaten up by the group, as he screamed and begged for mercy.
In an accompanying text that was circulated with the videos, it was claimed that one of the victims had allegedly died from the attacks.
History of Malays vs Chinese tensions in Malaysia
To understand the roots of the Malay-Chinese tension, it is essential to examine the historical backdrop. Malaysia’s colonial past, shaped by British rule until 1957, played a role in molding the dynamics between different ethnic communities. The colonial administration’s policies and practices unintentionally contributed to disparities and unequal opportunities, creating a sense of economic and political imbalance among ethnic groups.Economic disparities have been a primary concern in the Malay-Chinese relationship. Historically, the Chinese community, with its entrepreneurial spirit and business acumen, has excelled in commerce and trade. This economic success, coupled with stereotypes and misperceptions, has fueled feelings of resentment and envy among some Malays, who believe that the Chinese community dominates certain economic sectors at their expense.
The introduction of affirmative action policies, such as the New Economic Policy (NEP) in the 1970s, aimed to address economic imbalances and reduce poverty among Malays. However, the implementation of these policies has been a source of contention. Some argue that these measures have not been effective in promoting equitable opportunities for all Malaysians and have perpetuated a perception of preferential treatment for the Malay community. This perception, in turn, has strained interethnic relations, particularly between Malays and Chinese.
Politics also play a role in shaping the Malay-Chinese dynamic in Malaysia. The country’s political landscape is characterized by a dominant Malay-led coalition, which has fueled concerns among non-Malay communities about their representation and influence. These concerns have occasionally led to tensions and disagreements, as different ethnic communities vie for their voices to be heard and their interests to be protected within the political sphere.
