This is a very easy answer for me. If I am Malay, and I want their rewards or more, I will work the same or more. But I don't agree with that way of thinking and achievement. I will never ask for anything other than equal rights because of this reason : if I succeed without equal rights, everyone
including me will think it's because of the privileges. No. I will want to fight head to head on the same level and beat the chinese bugger at his own game if I am Malay. Nothing will give me greater satisfaction than beating so-called people at their own game. I give you my personal life as example. I won't go into detail because I don't like to boast, but long ago, I wanted to enter this sport. My parents say no way, ang moh dominate this sport. No way you simple Chinese can beat them at their own game where they are so successful. I went and kicked everyone's ass in a game no chinese ever succeeded in a short period of time and the ang moh happily kowtow to me. Nothing gave me more satisfaction. If you give me privilege or advantage, I will never respect or be happy with myself.
Not everyone think like u. Just like not everyone can tell right from wrong. In normal situation if both races more at lest at par, then can do away with privileges. When u are poor and jobless, dont talk about law or democracy to them. Its useless. Anyway privileges for Bumi is in the constitution. Cheena agreed to it. But now they making equal demands as well just cos DAP in parliament. I already mentioned the poverty gap between cheena and Malays is quite wide. Yet garment give in the the rich cheena? I think u are courting for trouble. Again i repeat. If u welcome rich cheena MALAYsian to demand wat the Malays demand, get ready for another riot. By looking at past history like the Indon riot during late Suharto time, i would feel sorry for the greedy and arrogant MALAYsian cheena and only DAP to be blamed.
If you give me privileges, I will feel that you are cheating me of my victory. But as I said, I don't want to win this kind of game. I want to live with myself. All I ask for and all I will give is equal. Malay Chinese Indian male female pondan I don't care. You come to me and can do the job better than the other bugger, I will support you. I also ask that you don't ask for special privileges on way or another. You want to work, work. don't want to don't work. don't come and tell me sembahyang, go temple pai sin, have to go kavadi or seventh day adventist. I will tell you to go find religious job. If you take personal leave to go, that's fine. It is your right. But don't ask me for special rights. I will not treat anyone worse or better because of race or religion and I expect the same if I am working for someone. Of course this is just me. I lost count how many times I end up in trouble for talking like this, but I will still behave in this way because I feel it is right.
Of course. Job is job. I believe earning the halal way. If my employer disallow me to go friday prayers, so be it. Cos working is also an ibadah. Allah know best. Not tat i deliberately skip my prayers.
But me being me, I will tell you, if hard work purely by ownself desire, then yes it's good. But many of those chinese buggers you see so brainwashed by culture and family to make money until nobody happy. Do not envy them. I don't. I pity them. Got the house got happiness meh? Got so many high achievers with good income miserable, unhappy and lonely especially when they get older. You have Chinese friends, go look at the successful ones properly. They may be nice to you. Go look closely at their family life. I can guarantee you high chance, they are alone and miserable.
Ehh...not really lah. I mixed around with sinkie cheena. Well off and some average and some quite pitiful. Whether rich or poor, everyone have their problems. I just got to know a new cheena friend. Not so well off. But manage to marry a prc. Had a 16yr old son who is special need. He do share abit of his marital problem with me. Kasian him. I do help him in watever i could. But definitely not to ask him to go jump down or end his life. Anyway, i wish i am rich. See, I am a Malay. I also want to be rich. So its wrong for some ignorant and naive xtians to say Muslims only think of hereafter.
I look at a lot of Malay families and even told my own parents why can't we be more like that. I don't even keep in touch with most Chinese people for that reason. Again 90+% chinese disagree with me. Then they go ktv, minum tell themselves they are happy. If you are happy, you don't need distraction from miserable life.
Aaa...u see. U only see the other side. Yes, we may be poor and contended. But we have our dreams too. Just like u said, tat Malay family may appear to be happy outwardly. But do u really know they have other problems too. Tats where Islam come into the picture. We are told if theres no problem, likelihood we will forget the Creator. So if theres problem or shortcoming, is a test for us. I believe if have problem face it. No point puffing or drinking away. Problem would still come back haunting us.
This one if true chinese deserve to be fucked. If pay all equal, then you want to serve your country go serve, don't complain when you don't want to serve then country don't look after you.
Serve the country???? Lets me honest and open. U really think cheena would apply for jobs in MAF, polis, immigresen, customs etc.?
I am no longer in touch with politics. This paragraph 50+% I don't understand who is who or what is what except for wealth distribution. Wealth distribution is fucked up way of making things right. Not allowing unequal wealth distribution in the 1st place is the right answer. In other words, no corruption. Everyone follow law. 2 wrongs don't make 1 right. Although it is a lesser wrong to redistribute wealth than the 1st wrong where everyone steal wealth, I still don't support it. Apply law to cronies and seize their money back for a start. Open tender properly.
Yes. Open tender. No cronies? Impossible. Which country no cronies? Even ur good friend DAP LGE have so many cronies....
The final thing though is why the Malay don't play the same game as the Chinese? All mentioned in last post. Nothing is stopping a Malay from doing the same as a Chinese. But do Malays want to? I certainly don't. I will repeat again that the Chinese driven by unhappiness unless got money in hand. No money, no friend, no wife no nothing. It's not a good way to live.
I agree the bumis partly at fault too. But main culprit is the PM in charge. Do way with all independant schools. Just like sinkieland. No cheena school. No Malay school. If Madrasah then they have to include additional secular subject which will put them in good stead when they look for jobs. Look at Malays here. I am proud to say we are better off than the Malays north. We have 4 years. They have 5 in secondary level. Tat speaks volume.
I differ slightly. Depending on how they got their properties, I may feel angry or sad or congratulate them. But as for the subject of equal rights the only reason you give is unequal wealth distribution. What does demanding equal rights have to do with unequal wealth distribution? 2 different topics with 2 different solutions. You want to solve unequal wealth I already give solution. But do you feel justified saying that because of unequal wealth you should have unequal rights? This I don't agree. The problem of unequal wealth should not be solved by taking away rights. That is seriously messed up idea. It should be solved by fixing how the wealth got so unequal in the 1st place. Like winner of 100m track you make him wear lead shoes next race. Worse, if all winners are black, you automatically make any black person all wear lead shoes or don't let black people enter race???
This is what your solution sounds like to me and it is just simply a racist solution.
As i have mentioned, both races not at par. I know it seems like not fair. But if no discount given to the bumi, then likelyhood 99% landed properties would be owned by cheena. And i also mentioned take up rates also not high. U may check with the MALAYsian cheena whether i am telling the truth. The cheena DAP is making a big issue out of this to gain votes. Politics also come into play. With such privileges, at least the Malay politician can say they are voicing out for the Malays. But in reality not many Malays can afford such houses...
Discrimination will always come back and bite you one way or another. Hanya sekarang atau tunggu lama, tentu kena. And it is ok if you don't agree with me. I already got into a lot of trouble with people in sinkieland defending malays and indians because of their race. what's the difference to me defending chinese and indians in malaysia? If you have heartbeat and good morals, I am ready to defend you no matter what race.
But if the Malays excel n at par with the minorities then the privileges shld be withdrawned to be fair. Privileges not meant to be eternal in the first place.
