		<description>In Malaysia,

The Malays who scored 9As &amp; above will get full comprehensive scholarship from education dept. What abt. non Malay? the Malay clerk will reject them and said only Malaysian are entitle such grants else the Chinese Penangites who scored more than 9As will not have to give up education to labor for the BN govt. Non Malays are denied the education, their childrens are then forced into prostitution, this happen to poor Malay as well, when these children migrate to find jobs in KL or Johor, they ended up sleeping with strangers.</description>

		<description>We&#039;ve to accept that fact that the Non-Malays are not treated fair ever since the constitution was drafted.  The blame has to be put on the elder generation leaders that represented us.  Unless the majority people among the Malay community realize that we are all Malaysian and accept us to be fair without naming us Non-Bumi and call us &quot;balik China&quot; or &quot;Balik India&quot;......this country will not move forward.  And the more the Malay thinks they need that speacial priviledge the more UMNO politicians get richer, because they succeed their mission.  See who lives in the big houses in Shah Alam area nearby the Istana.  They are laughing every night sleeping in those big houses.</description>

		<description>If you are a Bumiputra by the definition of BN govn. and thinking that you are enjoying the benefits of being a Bumiputra, would you ask the govn. to grant the same status to other races e.g. Chinese &amp; Indians ? or to ask the govn. to remove the classification of Bumiputra all together and just be a Malaysian only?</description>

		<description>Dear All,

Will Malaysian Malaysia be ever possible in Malaysia? One should reconcile with the fact that as much as we would want this to be but the fact remains i.e. the Malays have a deep rooted feeling that they alone are Bumiputera. Many leaders had came and gone but the story line is still the same i.e. The Malays must be given special rights for the benefit of its future generation. Failing which resentment would build up and the end result could be severe ramifications. This kind of statement had been said yesterday, today and will still be said tomorrow. Right before the election in 1999, Suqui, knowing that the incumbent government desperate for Chinese votes, presented a memorandum to the then Prime Minister for his consideration only to be told that they are even worse off than Communist after the election. 

If memory serves me correctly, in 1985, Lee Kim Sai remarked that none of the three major racial groups in Malaysia could claim to be more native than the others as many Chinese and Indians are third generation born in this country. However, he aroused considerable feeling among the Malay leadership. Therefore, I believe we should stop playing the old broken records again as it will lead us to nowhere. We can argue till the cow comes home but the fact remains that UMNO is unwilling to change and do away with racial politics. 

One Tee Keat came up with the idea of opening MCA membership to non-Chinese but Ka Chuan was quick to turn down his proposal by saying that the party is yet ready for such dimension. 

The Ketuanan Rakyat hatched by Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim offers a ray of hope towards creating Bangsa Malaysia but without a proper road map or blue-print on this issue, the road forward can be misty and full with blocks and pot-holes before reaching the destination. It is time for Pakatan Rakyat to come up with this road-map and share them with Malaysians. We have no idea as to how Ketuanan Rakyat can be achieved as many Malays had been lulled into the belief of Ketuanan Melayu and I certainly believe that this couldn&#039;t just change overnight.

I was once told that in a settled and established society, law appears to be the precursor of order. Good law leads to good order. However, one must also realize that without good order the operation of law is impossible. It is therefore, best, if Pakatan Rakyat could sit down together and bore out an order so as to enable new laws be administered. 

Someone said that the Sedition Act is an archaic law but can the same be said to so many other Acts in our beloved country? If the answer is yes, then can we have the alternatives be brought up for debate? What happen if Pakatan Rakyat forms the Federal Government? Have they got the shadow cabinet formed up by now? Had they got the alternative Acts in mind should Sedition Act ISA be repealed? Would then the government be stable without these Acts as we embark on the alternatives?

So is back to law and order or is it order first before law?

What do you think?</description>

		<description>donplaypuks,

For God said, it is more blessed to give than to receive. I believed you and all those who have given in to the unfair system so far will be blessed much more than the 10% discount etc. etc. . If you believe in the true God, He will definitely see us through regardless of the situation and grow from strength to strength. It is not that we are fighting the war alone, but the true God is also fighting the war but on our side!!!</description>

		<description>Simply the classification - Bangsa Asli and Bangsa Asing.

May be another classification for those who are able but have no hesitation to exploit the current system and environment.</description>

		<description>Malay can have more than 1 wife, mean at least more than 1 child? Whereas Chinese and Indian to them they work very hard unlike Malay govt. servant who &quot;mengantuk&quot; in the office waiting for their paychecks to rain from the sky.

You can see Indian bread seller riding a bicycle, or chinese ice cream ah pek riding a bicycle selling icecream at roadside near school. Where are the Malays in these business? in Malaysia it is hard to find Malay doing it, they rather put up a stall selling burger or nasi lemak, by the way, there are funds readily available for the Malay to set up for easy loan. Where got Chinese or Indian funds available?</description>

As a result of our leaders, the people do not trust each other.</description>

		<description>Why Malaysian BN govt. not ashame? only 27 millions of ppl. whereas Singapore is an island slightly bigger than Penang have around 4 millions ppl.

Most Malays family have more than 2 childrens, whereas chinese, or indian are deprived to only have 1. Standard of living is sky rocketing up till the ceiling, who can afford to have more than 1 childrens? Chinese &amp; Indian are hindered the education due to Quota system. Life for them is very difficult, as the Malay govt. don&#039;t provide aide to them, as well as education.

The Malay govt. support all 9 As Malay students, but seldom see them support 9As chinese or indian students.

Some even offer to sponsor 10 A&#039;s Malay scholars to study law in UK. Well, there will not be population boom due to unfair and race based govt. 

BN goons shud be ashame of themselves.</description>

		<description>to jamesy, taiking,darcwil &amp; i_love-m&#039;sia:

You are all right. It is indeed shameful that the M&#039;sian population is still classified by race. 

If we are born here and are citizens, then we are all sons of the soil. That&#039;s the theory of it.

Then, we would&#039;nt need a racial break-down of population and we will all belong to Bangsa Malaysia &amp; can embrace the concept of Ketuanan Rakyat.

But, that&#039;s not how it is in the Govt and policies wholly implemented by BN since 1969.

If you are a Chinese or Indian M&#039;sian citizen, your children do not get 10% discount on house purchases or priority in admissions to Universities or Scholarships. But if you are a Chinese or Indian foreigner married to a local Malay (and  therefore have become a Muslim), your children can be classified Bumiputra and enjoy Bumiputra privileges!! Is this a fair system?

Little wonder that recently a group of M&#039;sian Indian Muslim made a demand that they be classified as Bumiputra.

My complaint to LKS is that the concept and principle of Bumiputra and the system of entitlement to special privileges by such racial grouping/classification should be completelt demolished. It has no place in any fair society.

Equally, I have not the slightest objection to well thought affirmative action policies and programmes to assist poor and those trapped in lower-income sectors. Everyone else should compete on the basis of Meritocracy.

I&#039;m sure you support me in fighting to eliminate the destructive and divisive Bumiputra policy.

But what we are seeing, especially in the closing of one eye to illegal Indonesian &amp; Filipina illegal immigrants, is a policy that has on overt and dangerous Islamic agenda. That we cannot allow and must fight against.</description>

<p>Little wonder that recently a group of M&#8217;sian Indian Muslim made a demand that they be classified as Bumiputra.</p>
<p>My complaint to LKS is that the concept and principle of Bumiputra and the system of entitlement to special privileges by such racial grouping/classification should be completelt demolished. It has no place in any fair society.</p>
<p>Equally, I have not the slightest objection to well thought affirmative action policies and programmes to assist poor and those trapped in lower-income sectors. Everyone else should compete on the basis of Meritocracy.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure you support me in fighting to eliminate the destructive and divisive Bumiputra policy.</p>
<p>But what we are seeing, especially in the closing of one eye to illegal Indonesian &amp; Filipina illegal immigrants, is a policy that has on overt and dangerous Islamic agenda. That we cannot allow and must fight against.</p>

		<description>It is no secret that Parameswara was an Indian and a Hindu prince until he married a Pasai princess and converted to Islam and adopted the Persian name Iskandar Shah. 

There seemed to be no problem telling the truth as I just expressed it during my school days. The school textbooks were quite clear on this - but not today, I am told.

Once again the &quot;insecure&quot; Umno-led government had to wipe out any references to this famous Melaka prince as being Hindu and belonging to the powerful Hindu empire Srivijaya. 

So all of a sudden our museums, school textbooks etc, all refer to Parameswara as a malay prince. Umno lying, mind you, is not confined to the mainstream newspapers.</description>

		<description>Why are we still so concerned about which race has the biggest population etc. etc. , as if one race is having bigger population is going to kill off the others or to bring the others down and ironically, at the same time we are talking about Bangsa Malaysia without labelling which race we belong to and global citizen after so long of human history? should we not be happy to know that our country population has increased and it is a blessing from God that our population has increased!!! Just to quote Deng Xio Peng&#039;s famous saying &quot;Dont care whether it is a black or white cat, as long as it can catch hold of the mouse, it is a good cat&quot;!!! 
Time to change!!! Dont care whether he/she is a Malay or Chinese or Indian or Kadazan etc, as long as they can contribute to Malaysia/World well being, they are good human being and should be welcome to Malaysia/World.</description>

		<description>Jamesy has a valid point. Arent we all bumiputras!

Since &quot;bumiputra&quot; is only a term of political convenience, and more importantly, not legally defined, it would not be wrong for one to attach a different meaning to it AND APPLY that meaning accordingly.

No laws would be broken if one were to do so.

BN could get away with the use and application of the word bumiputra simply because we all (although complaining and protesting) by and large went along with it and complied.

What would happen if we were to stop doing so.

For the next government form we have to fill in, shall we all regardless of our race, tick the bumiputra box only?</description>

		<description>Dear LKS

As earlier commented upon me, it is very, very fishy that Indians &amp; Chinese are classified by race, but Malays, Kadazandusun, Iban, Murut, Melanau, Portuguese, Dutch, Indian Muslim etc are lumped together under &#039;Bumiputra&#039; which is not a Race, but a very loose Economic Group.

Furthermore, it is estimated that 25% (750,000) of the population of Sabah comprises illegal Filipina &amp; Indonesians, while another 1-2 million illegals co-exist in Peninsular M&#039;sia. Everyone knows that there are illegal Indonesians Kampungs in several spots in Selangor. Where are they included in the statistics?

In order to give us a true picture, the Statistics Dept must state the basis of population classification and provide the estimates by Peninsular M&#039;sia, Sarawak &amp; Sabah and the combined total &amp; %under the following categories:-

1. Malays
2. Chinese
3. Indians
4. Kadazandusun
5. Iban
6. Murut
7. Bajau
8. Melanau
9. Other Aborigines
10. Naturalised Indonesians
11. ‘Naturalised’ Filipina
12. Others
13. Legal non-citizens e.g. maids or professionals PR&#039;s on work permit
14. Illegals

A further breakdown by religion can also be provided.

LKS, would you please table a question in Parliament or write to the Minsiter and publish the details?</description>
