cheers, Prominent!!!

Very well, to each his own. *smiles*

Have a nice day,
Azmodeus

I do not have any issues with you using the paragraph for your project work, of course, as long as its meaning isn’t taken out of context to illustrate other subjects of non-relevance.

You may contact me at ydnamil@hotmail.com

Azmodeus

I’m hoping that you will contact me to clarify some questions i have such as if your post is based upon harder facts/personal feelings or if u have any means of substantiating your comments (eg. Degree in sociology etc )

PS. Sorry for posting here since i cant find any means of contacting you personally and thought posting in a more recent post would get your attention more quickly.

PSS. Help out a desperate sg student please? >.<

So human book, I hope that your request for the publication of statistics is acceded to. For I am sure it would be a precursor to a more open and inclusive society in Malaysia.

-Side Note-
*Chuckles* Pardon me, as much as I am trying to be serious in my reply. I just can’t help chuckling at the irony of my last sentence.

I hope that no offence is caused. =)

This list is not in the order of importance, that means the first one on the list is not the most important and the last one on the list does not mean least important.

This list is a common knowledge to a lot of Malaysians, especially those non-malays (Chinese, Ibans, Kadazans, Orang Asli, Tamils, etc) who were being racially discriminated.

Figures in this list are estimates only and please take it as a guide only. Government of Malaysia has the most correct figures. Is government of Malaysia too ashamed to publish their racist acts by publishing racial statistics?

This list cover a period of about 49 years since independence (1957).

List of racial discriminations (Malaysia):

(1) Out of all the 5 major banks, only one bank is multi-racial, the rest are controlled by malays

(2) 99% of Petronas directors are malays

(12) 100% all business licensees are controlled by malay government e.g. Approved Permits, Taxi Permits, etc

(13) 80% of the Chinese rice millers in Kedah had to be sold to malay controlled Bernas in 1980s. Otherwise, life is make difficult for Chinese rice millers

(14) 100 big companies set up, managed and owned by Chinese Malaysians were taken over by government, and later managed by malays since 1970s e.g. MISC, UMBC, UTC, etc

(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 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 bus station (November 2004)

(18) 8000 billion ringgit is the total amount the government channeled to malay pockets through ASB, ASN, MARA, privatisation of government agencies, Tabung Haji etc, through NEP over 34 years period

(27) 0 Chinese or Indians were sent to Japan and Korea under “Look East Policy”

(29) 10% place for non-bumi students for MARA science schools beginning from year 2003, but only 7% are filled. Before that it was 100% malays

(30) 50 cases whereby Chinese and Indian Malaysians, are beaten up in the National Service program in 2003

(31) 25% is Malaysian Chinese population in 2004, drop from 45% in 1957

(32) 7% is the present Malaysian Indians population (2004), a drop from 12% in 1957

(33) 2 million Chinese Malaysians had emigrated to overseas since 40 years ago

(34) 0.5 million Indian Malaysians had emigrated to overseas

(35) 3 million Indonesians had migrated into Malaysia and became Malaysian citizens with bumis status

(36) 600000 are the Chinese and Indian Malaysians with red IC 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 citizenship compare with the Chinese and Indians

(43) 1 Catholic church in Shah Alam took 20 years to apply to be constructed. But told by malay authority that it must look like a factory and not look like a church. Still not yet approved in 2004

(45) 0 of the government TV stations (RTM1, RTM2, TV3) are directors of non-malay origins

(46) 30 government produced TV dramas and films always showed that the bad guys had Chinese face, and the good guys had malay face. You can check it out since 1970s. Recent years, this tendency becomes less

(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 racistly re-delineated so Chinese voters were diluted that Chinese candidates, particularly DAP candidates lost in election since 1970s

(54) 20 cases every year whereby Chinese drivers who accidentally knocked down malays were seriously assaulted or killed by malays

(55) 12% is what ASB/ASN got per annum while banks fixed deposit is only about 3.5% per annum

There are hundreds more racial discriminations in Malaysia to add to this list of “colossal” racism. It is hope that the victims of racism will write in to expose racism.

Malaysia government should publish statistics showing how much malays had benefited from the “special rights” of malays and at the same time tell the statistics of how much other minority races are being discriminated.

Hence, the responsibility lies in the Malaysia government itself to publish unadulterated statistics of racial discrimination.

If the Malaysia government hides the statistics above, then there must be some evil doings, immoral doings, shameful doings and sinful doings, like the Nazi, going on onto the non-malays of Malaysia.

Civilized nation, unlike evil Nazi, must publish statistics to show its treatment on its minority races. This is what Malaysia must publish……….

We are asking for the publication of the statistics showing how “implementation of special rights of malays” had inflicted colossal racial discrimination onto non-malays.

Kway Teow Man must have been in army before. He must have heard: “You can do anything here as long as you don’t get caught”.
The fact is Temasek get caught while doing “things illegal but commonly done”. Don’t give shit such as “forge ignorance, don’t know about it , and craps such as this”

Kway Teow Man, Azmodeus, if a gov-run org with Lee’s the highest respect family can say that , why do u think that they will not say this to us ????

My apologies for the late reply, as I had not dropped in since my last reply. And my apologies if, in my poor choice of words, seem to be promoting segregationist policies.

To Azmodeus, I did some reading and although there is no clear evidence that your theory of the development of Hutus and Tutsis are necessarily more correct than mine, I can give you the benefit of doubt. That said, it doesnt detract from my basic point that the two races are practically indistinguishable, and yet they still found the capacity for immense hatred. And your example of minorities in China is a straw man. Yes they exist, but they are almost entirely packed into the border provinces. Try and befriend an average PRC student ask if he had met any of those races in life before.

First off, let me explain to you why I am so disgusted with this blog post.

Now if a non-Chinese expresses concern about SAP school, I can understand, because SAP schools are almost always 100% Chinese. But for an SAP student to accuse SAP schools as a breeding ground for racists, is an utter disgrace, not least because it is untrue. For starters, perhaps Aaron can detail to us what scientific methods he used to deduce that SAP students are more racist than non-SAP students. In my working life, I have met many highly racist people, none of them from SAP schools. What Aaron Ng said of SAP students, is no different from Straits Times suggesting IJ convent girls are easy. Are we racially insensitive, yes. But more racist? Please prove it.

Even though the Chinese is the majority race in Singapore, the Chinese in power are not from the Chinese schools. The Mandarin speaking Chinese community constantly feel under siege by those who dislike our “Chineseness”, and when we get too pushy with issues, we get labelled “Chinese Chauvinists”. This is where I feel solidarity with the Malay community, because they too are constantly cautioned from “playing the racial card” when they are seek to assert their racial identity.

Some people see SAP schools as evidence that the Chinese majority promoting racial segregation, I see it as an appeasement for the destruction of “Nantah”. And even if people like Aaron Ng fail to shut the SAP schools down, most SAP schools are in ill health and will follow Nantah soon anyway. The strong ones like The Chinese High is/was the exception, not the norm.

That said, I like to mention that two of my closest buddies are Muslims, one is hypersensitively orthodox, and one is lapsed. That is how I have such a nice perspective of Islam, beyond mere reading. One would check for halal certs before eating while the other eats kway chap with me, while elaborating why the Prophet outlawed pork back then (because they were dirty, but not any more) .

One of them fit the lazy mat stereotype nicely, initially. He leaves work right on time and refuse to work on weekends. It turns out that he had a family business to help run, and when the business folded, my goodness, he was raring for work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. But it was a process that took several years to develop. Which is the point I failed to make clearly earlier on. Superficial contact with other races in a secondary school setting may not enhance racial understanding at all; in fact, it might even reinforce racial stereotypes. There are plenty of opportunities to bond after secondary school, and maybe it might even be more conducive then as we are more mature.

Did I mention I used to play hockey in university with a team that was almost entirely Indian? Even then, given the deep friendships I have with other races, I cant say I am not racist, and I seriously doubt anybody can declare that they are not racist either. It is a beast we have to contain, every day of our lives. And when the conditions turn rough, when we let our guard down, when we feel threatened, the beast breaks out.

I like Chiaw’s analogy with banning liquids on planes, because that is exactly how I see it too. You think Malays and Indians will cheer if SAP schools shut down? You think non-Muslims will feel happier if madrasahs are shut down?
