IT’S good that the Malaysian Hindus have brought their alleged marginalistion to the Queen of England because their plight, as they have alleged, started with the semi-slavery of the indentured Indian workers by the British Empire.

Portraying the Malays as lazy natives and condemning them to the subsistence economy of the villages and shoreline, the British imported en-masse indentured workers from India and China.

Thanks to them, the British successfully mined tin and gold to pave the Streets of London. Leveled the lush rain forests to plant rubber that they stole from Brazil, tea and later oil palms.

When the Communists started to attack their plantations and tin mines, they recruited the lazy Malays and told them of patriotism and the evil of communism and the danger of Chinese dominance.

They Malays love their Tanah Melayu (the land of the Malays). They become soldiers, auxiliary policemen and plantation guards to ward off the marauding Communist terrorists.

I presume one of the indentured Indian workers also includes Mahathir's father

So what now? The sins of the empire justify the sins of the Umno-led government today? And please don't ask the natives to share in your shame. They had no share of your power and were never a partner in your crime.

Datuk,
You should thank indians and chinese for developing this nation to the present status. Without these two races, Malaysia would be like Cambodia.

More like Kalimantan. Largely empty and forested, a paradise for orang utans.

It is a chinese emperor that recognised a malay 'penghulu' as a 'sultan' by presenting him with a royal shawl, robes and headgear, and offered him protection.

Belief can blunt human reason and common sense, even in learned scholars. What is needed is more impartial study.

"the Jiao Zong (United Chinese School Teachers’ Association) had threatened “mammoth demo” should the government decide to continue the policy of teaching of mathematics and science in English.
The association sees the policy as “the greatest threat to Chinese education.”

I am from the English stream, so I am trying to read Jiao Zong's words from a non-racist point of view.
Question: Has anyone noticed that students from Chinese schools tend to be strong in Maths and Science? Have we ever asked ouselves why? There was a study done previously on this. It seems the Chinese schools use a special method in teaching Maths and Science (calculus?). I believe this method cannot be translated into English. I see in his words more of concern rather than racism .. food for thought!

"They Malays love their Tanah Melayu (the land of the Malays). They become soldiers, auxiliary policemen and plantation guards to ward off the marauding Communist terrorists."

So this Rashid Mydin fellow, was he one of these Tanah-Melayu loving Malays too? Nice of him to join the Communist Party of Malaya, yes?

You have a very selective memory, Kadir. How did you make it to the top of the Malaysian newspaper world? Merit?

Kadir Jasin,
Did you forgot dengan sengaja about all the the post-independence importing of Muslims from other countries including India, Philippines, Indonesia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Arabian countries and European nations and the converting of local natives, local Indians and local Chinese to boost the local Malay population? That is the way to ensure political victory for race and religion based parties and to turn this country into a Muslim nation. These post indpendence import of Muslims seem far greater in number compared to the number of Indians and Chinese brought by the British. Please do not write from selective memory alone.

This idiot gained importance during the Maha-tiru's era when the"clean.efficient and trustworthy ' were systematiacally eliminated and replaced by the bunch of corrupted, inefficient ball-lickers and men devoid of any decency or principles.,men ever-ready to do the biddings of their MAha Leader.

I do not think he can come out with a cohesive and coherent piece of writing that is balanced and rational.Well,he thinks he is a great WIT and I think
