These Chinese majority constituencies
would be the last to be
developed.
(49) 100 constituencies (parliaments and states) had

fixed deposits
are only about 3.5% per
annum.
These numbers may be true but it's half truth.
ReplyDeleteLets just take the first item, the banks. The four banks are not directly own by the malays but the government. But what difference does it make of who owns the bank, does any malay get better interest rates and not sued for default payment. On the other hand, do the non-malay get better package if it's a non-malay bank. Same apply to foreign banks operating in this country. It's just a business enterprise seeking profits.
On the second, 3% of Petronas employees are chinese. Anybody wish to give statistics of employment at Shell, Exxon, and BP
On the third, 99% of 2000 Petronas dealers are malays. Care to show the total statistics for the gas station owners in the whole country.
Employment in government are malay majority. What's a statistical figure. The last I heard, the non-malay shun away from government job is because of the low pay. So the malays that work in the government must all be fools to accept such a low employment packages. No wonder like once TDM said, 90% of the tax are paid are by non-malays.
In a nutshell, the statistics can be use either way.
The question is, are we also to stoop that low like the BN politicians that skewed the facts and figures to suit their needs.
reply to nxforget:
ReplyDeleteIt's true that it depends on how we skew the data to support our argument. Maybe the purpose HH posted this fact because he wants us to see things from different angle.
For example hiring pattern between Petronas and other private corporation. We need to understand if the employment of private corporation reflects the country race ratio or not. Is there any reason there is much employment disparity between Malay, Indian, and Chinese? Certainly, if the disparity is outright racism then the government needs to take action towards companies that practice racism. However, if there are reasons for the employment disparity then the government needs to investigate. So, let's guess the reason for employment disparity:
1. Most "local" Chinese company uses Mandarin for business communication
2. Some companies deal with business from China; thus, prefer employees converse in Mandarin
3. Most talented Malays work for big GLC (is that true? not sure)
4. Outright racism that doesn't employ Indian/Malay/Chinese
5. Quality of employees - Is there truly any different between a Malay/Chinese/Indian work performance? I don't know so it really needs to investigate. Maybe it's because the quality of education at local university? School system - Kebangsaan vs. Jenis?
Thus, above are legitimate questions we need to ask. Have BN or UMNO ever investigate the problem? Maybe NEP has reach it's maximum capacity on increasing the Malay economic wealth and job opportunity. Maybe the government needs to focus on improving the Tertiary education system. That's why we need a strong opposition party to provide us a different solution to our social problems! We can't allow UMNO blaming the Chinese for all the problems.
We need Pakatan to give us different solutions. Maybe DAP/PAS/PKR have a better plan to provide Malay employees more high pay jobs. Remember Anwar Ibrahim encourage Malay to learn Mandarin so he/she can work for big Chinese firm!
We're all born and raised on this soil; thus, we're bind together to fight and protect each other. Nobody has the right to discriminate even the government. If there is outright discrimination against any other races as a Malaysian I'll fight for his/her rights! This is what we need to do as fellow Malaysian. We must fight for others even though they don't share the same skin color or religion.
ReplyDeleteAnak Malaysia
Actually, the answer is not like what nxforget says, to keep on comparing whats the right statistic and forever tracking and comparing and tracking and comparing.
ReplyDeleteThe answer is to pass legislation FOREVER outlawing any type of race indication. Abolish to need to tick Chinese, Malay or Indian in anything, right from education, health, business, banking, motoring etc etc etc.
Any request to identify your race will be subject to immediate jail of 6 mths!
Maybe we can then get rid of this fixation with how many % and how many %.
Of course this would automatically mean race based political parties would b extinct immediately. :)

“Creating change and making the world better is not always easy, and you will probably find in your life that it is more comfortable to ignore injustices that don’t affect you directly. Don’t take that comfortable road. Challenge yourself to make a difference.”: Barack Obama replying in a letter to a 8 year old girl who wrote to him.
ReplyDeleteThis nation of ours was founded on the understanding that its Constitution is the supreme law of the land. The rule of law is the legitimate authority that arbitrates the dispute between two contending parties. Regardless of the truth and veracity of the statistics quoted, has anyone sued the Government for discrimation? If we believe in the Federal Constitution as the supreme law, then any aggrieved party has recourse in law. Forget about what you perceive the Courts to be, unless one has tested a case and been delivered a judgement, we have only ourselves to blame.
ReplyDeleteDear Sir (abdulhalimshah)
ReplyDeleteWe can't use the Supreme law to protect us since most of our judges are corrupted too. What can we do to fight outright racism, corruption, etc? I'm a little sad with our country current situation. I'm actually contemplating to be another data points of Chinese Malaysian migrating to USA especially after reading General Muhammad Arshad Raji on politicians infiltrating the army.
Sir,
ReplyDeleteAfter apartheid was defeated in Southern Africa, probably this is the only country left in the world that legalised these type of stuff.
Thought the list is not 100% accurate, it pretty much sums up correctly the state of affairs in this country.
I wonder what Nelson Mandela has to say if he comes to know about this?
Everyday we see our people standing up to be counted. The General is a brave man. i am far away and they cannot get to me - but you all are in the front line. We cannot trust the Judiciary, the Police and even our own Prime Minisiter - but we can trust ourself. I alway say - you are one but with me we are two...let us go forward!
ReplyDeleteIn Bentong, the church inside the Sekolah Menengah Katholik which was damaged in fire more than 15 years(or more) was only recently rebuilt. You may ask WHY?
ReplyDeleteThe land titles(farming land) for some folks in Kg.Bukit Tinggi only received recently from the BN government. In every previous election, the land titles issues were used as "pancing undi" tool. In GE12 last year, the folks just don't care anymore and they all voted for the opposition. I heard that the land titles were "granded" long ago. Just that BN guys don't want to give them out.You may ask WHY now?
ALL BECAUSE OF POLITICAL TSUNAMI IN GE12.
Have more tsunami.....much bigger one...pls
Dear HH,
ReplyDeleteUMNO/BN goons has not realized that :
"YOU CAN'T MAKE THE WEAK STRONG BY MAKING THE STRONG WEAK"
People, time to change the UMNO gomen come PRU 13, Vote for change, Vote PR !!

Bro HH,
ReplyDeleteI have been agreeing with you on so many things, but I beg to differ on these!
How many Malay shoplots can you find in the big shopping complexs of KL such as Sungei Wang, Lot 10, KL Plaza, Pavillion, KLCC, Mid Valley and many more!
Hows about the employment in the Chinese co. or Chinese firm, do you think the Malays are paid at par in salary and bonus as to their chinese employees even with the same rank and experience? I have the experience and its a cheat by the Chinese employer!!!
I am against the greedy, arrogant
and selfish UMNO Leaders but I am not against the Malays. NEVER!
I have worked with the Chinese, and I know them. Whats their philosophy, whats their believe and whats their direct or indirect intention.
I agree with you nxforget.
Samsaimon..you and I know that this list was put together by a non-Malay to show that life has not been fair to them - what we are all agree upon is that there should not be any discrimination. Just take our own family - I will give preference to my own family before i feed others...those are the realities of life and we have to adjust to it.
ReplyDeleteBro.HH,
ReplyDeleteGot you, loud and clear.
Thanks.
The truth is we malaysian are unfairly treated by the BN system. only the rakyat that have conection with them get their attention. Thats why malay feel chinese n indian unfairly treated them, chinese and indian feel the same about the malay. BN teached us to think like that for more than 50 yrs.
ReplyDeleteItu pasal la ... all of us always thinks that we are not malaysian(talks only la may be, but inside thinks diff. ), we think base on our race.
we need to change!!!! brothers n sisters. change for better malaysian.
The stats are there however one looks at it it has a story to tell!
ReplyDeleteIf the Chinese joins the Gormen, he will ask firstly:
1. Pay check?
2. How far can I go?
3. Can I make it?
4. Do I have fair play?
5. Are they going to treat me well?
He thinks:
1. Work on my own more money less restrictions!
2. The harder I work the more money I get!
3. Small business better then same pay every month! Makan Gaji!
So this thoughts and mind set is hard to change!
They feel donning the uniform as Military or Police amounts to being a BAD SON!
In ancient China the saying goes:
A good SON does not join the ARMY!
It happens then because the family needs the son to work on the farm, a hand short means a tougher life for the parents!
This is the mind set of the Chinese, born to make money and enjoy it!
The Indians also have reservations, the bad apples in the service created a bad image and this drove them from serving the gormen.
THE MALAYS TAKE UP ALL POSITIONS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT CONFIDENT OF EMPLOYMENT ELSE WHERE!
THEY ARE 2ND CLASS AND LOOSE OUT ON BRAIN POWER!TO MUCH BELACAN EATING AND TALKING!
THEY WANT EASY LIFE AND MANY MANY HOLIDAYS PER YEAR!
The racism attitude is always by the majority against the minority anywhere on earth! Except Africa, THE WHITES, they had the POWER of the GUN !
But the peoples power finally came into play and eradicated the "WHITE SUPREMACY FALLACY ONCE AND FOR ALL!"
THEY SACRIFICE THEIR LIVES AND HELD ON TO THEIR BELIEVES TO MAKE IT HAPPEN, AND VICTORY WAS SWEET.
NAJIB SAYS AND QUOTE ABOUT MENDELA...HE WILL NOT EVEN SMELL THE SHIT OF MENDELA...
THIS POTATO FELLOW GREW UP IN A LIFE OF LUXURY AND HAD A GOLDEN SPOON FROM DAY ONE...HE TALKS NONSENSE....HE BECAME A LEADER BY BEING SOMEBODY'S SON, MADE IT BECAUSE PEOPLE PITY HIM, HE BECAME A PM BECAUSE NOBODY ELSE COULD BE RELIED UPON TO SAFE GUARD THE STUPID MOUNTAIN OF CRONIES FULL OF SHIT PAST!
