Hi i couldn’t really post anything after my 1st post as i was too busy..so this is just a general 1..i’ll be back soon to post more stuffs..have fun n meantime think carefully..
This message is to provoke your mind to think whether you want the status quo to be perpetuated. If you want to do your bit to effect a change for the better, think well before you vote at the next general election. Chances are that the BN will still win but we need to send the proper signal to Pak Lah that enough is enough….
Below is the result of extreme discriminations and marginalization by the BN govt for too many years. Let’s keep circulating this esp before the next election.
And today this is what happened in Malaysia racism.
These lists cover a period of about 50 years since Independence Day in Malaysia (1957):
(1) Out of all the 5 major banks in Malaysia, only one bank is own by multi-racial, the rest are controlled by Malays.
(2) 99% of Petronas (the only one petroleum company) directors are Malays, and the former Prime Minister work as Consultant in Petronas.
(3) 3% of Petronas employees are Chinese. (4) 99% of 2000 Petronas gasoline stations are owned by Malays.
(5) 100% all contractors working under Petronas projects must be ‘bumi’s status’ (Malay).
(6) 0% of non-Malays staffs are legally required in Malay’s companies. But there must be 30% Malays staffs in Chinese companies and shareholder. Which this mean non-Malays own company needs to give their property to Malays. And non-Malays citizen can’t really own their business.
(7) 5% of all new intake for government police, nurses, army, is non-Malays.
(8) 2% is the present Chinese staff in Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF), drop from 40% in 1960.
(9) 2% is the percentage of non-Malays government servants in Putrajaya (Malaysia main government office). But Malays make up 98%.
(10) 7% is the percentage of Chinese government servants in the whole government (in 2004), drop from 30% in 1960. Only 2 position for non-Malays in political status.
(11) 95% of government contracts are given to Malays; even it is an open tender. Non-Malays contractors tender the lower price and use better materials can’t get the contract that government given.
(12) 100% all business licenses are controlled by Malay government e.g. Taxi permits, Approved permits, etc. and all the license are given to government officer families.
(13) 80% of the Chinese rice millers in Kedah (north of peninsular Malaysia had to be sold to Malay and controlled by Bernas (Government Org.) since 1980s. Otherwise, life is make difficult for Chinese rice millers.
(14) 100 big companies set up, owned and managed by Chinese Malaysians were taken over by government, and later managed by Malays since 1970’s e.g. UTC, UMBC, MISC, etc. This company now is the sole company.
(15) At least 10 Chinese owned bus companies (throughout Malaysia,throughout 40 years) had to be sold to MARA or other Malay transport companies due to rejection by Malay authority to Chinese application for bus routes and rejection for their application for new buses.
(16) 2 Chinese taxi drivers were barred from driving in Johor (South of Peninsular Malaysia ) Larkin bus station. There are about 30 taxi drivers and 3 are Chinese in October 2004. Spoiling taxi club properties was the reason given.
(17) 0 non-Malays are allowed to get shop lots in the new Muar (city in south peninsular Malaysia ) bus station (November 2004).
(18) 8000 billions ringgit is the total amount the government channeled to Malays pockets through ASB, ASN, MARA, privatization of government agencies like Tabung Haji etc, through NEP over 34 years periods.
(19) 48 Chinese primary schools closed down since 1968 - 2000
(20) 144 Tamil primary schools closed down since 1968 - 2000
(21) 2637 Malay primary schools built since 1968 - 2000
(22) 2.5% is government budget for Chinese primary schools. Tamil schools got only 1%, Malay schools got 96.5% (23) while a Chinese parent with RM1000 salary (monthly) cannot get school-text-book-loan, and a Malay parent with RM2000 salary is eligible. (24) 10 all public universities vice chancellors are Malays. And politics in universities are held by Malays. If non-Malays want to form a politics parties, there is no way to get approved.
(25) 5% - the government universities lecturers of non-Malay origins had been reduced from about 70% in 1965 to only 5% in 2004 with the reason Malaysia Education Ministry give full support for Malays only.
(26) Only 5% is given to non-Malays for government scholarships over 40 years.
(27) 0 Chinese or Indians were sent to Japan and Korea under ‘Look East Policy’.
(28) 128 STPM (High Study / A Level) Chinese top students could not get into the course that they aspired i.e. Medicine and doctors (in 2004). Malays with not qualify result can get into the course.

(30) 50 cases whereby Chinese and Indian Malaysians, are beaten up in the National Service program since 2003.
(31) 25% is Malaysian Chinese population in 2004, drop from 45% since 1957 because government are not support non-Malays like government support Malays.

(36) 600000 are the Chinese and Indians Malaysians with ‘red I/C’ (a temporary identity card) and were rejected repeatedly when applying for citizenship for 40 years. Perhaps 60% of them had already passed away due to old age. This shows racism of how easily Indonesians got their citizenships compare with the Chinese and Indians
(37) 5% - 15% discount for a Malay to buy a house, regardless whether the Malay is rich or poor
(38) 2% is what Chinese new villages get compare with 98% of what Malays villages got for rural development budget..

(40) 1 Dewan Gan Boon Leong (in Malacca) was altered to other name ( e.g.Dewan Serbaguna or sort) when it was being officially used for a few days. Government tries to shun Chinese names. This racism happened in around year 2000 or sort.

(47) 10 times, at least, Malays (especially Umno) had threatened to massacre the Chinese Malaysians using May 13 since 1969.
(48) 20 constituencies won by DAP would not get funds from the government to develop. Or these Chinese majority constituencies would be the last to be developed
(49) 100 constituencies (parliaments and states) had been racist re-delineated so Chinese voters were diluted that Chinese candidates, particularly DAP candidates lost in election since 1970s
(50) Only 3 out of 12 human rights items are ratified by Malaysia government since 1960

Recently i was in Australia for a youth exchange programme..although my stay there was only a short one for about 1 month,i could still spot the differences between malaysia n australia in many fields..i would say that although the population of australia is much smaller than in malaysia,they have advanced to a greater extend compared to malaysia…the main reason why malaysia is not performing on its optimum power in the world stage is because the government is not giving much opportunity to the indians n chinese to prove their capabilities..i am sure malaysia can compete with powerhouse like india n china if the non-bumis are given the chance to administrate..in australia the people change the government if the ruling party does not give them much but in malaysia the people still vote for the bn government although they are not doing much for the non-bumis which include indian n chinese..it just dosen’t make sense..of coz we can’t see changes unless the government which is ruling for the past 50 years is changed..for that 2 happen the citizens of malaysia should vote for the opposition party in this comong general elections..we have had enough of this bn government..for the betterment of indians n chinese we should bring a change..as a indian i feel that malaysia is no longer a safe place to live in..when temples are being demolished,how sure are you that they won’t gun you down in just a blink of an eye..indians are being marginalized now..can u guarantee me that they won’t do the same to the chinese n other smaller ethnic groups..another difference between malaysia n australia is that there is no discrimination in australia but unfortunately in malaysia…..australia is strict with its road safety rules but malaysia is not so..still we can see many fatal accidents in malaysia..i’m not saying that there is no accidents in australia but the number of accidents there is very much lower than that here..who should we blame for this happenings..?there is not much poverty in australia as the government there helps those in need while in malaysia there is poverty everywhere..why is this so..?who is to be blamed for this..?…i would say that Kevin Rudd’s newly formed government will do a good job..but can Badawi’s government bring improvement to the quality of our life..we should all think about that again n again..we need a government that can bring changes..fresh minds not corrupted ones..we want a better malaysia..
thats all for this post..i’ll be back with more ideas in my coming posts..till then bye for now..thank u for reading my post n think about it…
