Dont bother what ppl said, you did a great job during ur term. Kita difahamkan bahawa isu perkauman tidak dibentangkan kerana ia isu sensitif. Masalah ramai bukan Melayu tidak fasih berbahasa Malaysia adalah kekurangan pergaulan di anatara kaum, tetapi dengan kaum sendiri and berkomunikasi dengan bahasa ibunda. Sometimes, we have to think on other perspective, firkirkan dari sudut yang berbeza. Kaum bukan bumi terutamanya generasi muda, tidak faham tentang hak-hak istimewa, tapi ramai bukan bumi pun hidup dalam kesusahan, tapi berkerja dgn lebih tekun walaupun dalam keadaan yang kurang memihak kepada mereka. Contohnya, seorang bukan bumi mengalami masalah untuk memasuki universiti kerajaan, kerana bumi quota, oleh itu, dia memasuki universiti swasta, tapi dengan pembayaran yang lebih tinggi, contohnya Rm25 ribu untuk ijazah bisnes, berbanding dengan univertist kerajjan RM10 ribu. Walaupun dibernarkan perminjaman PTPTN, lepas graduate, kena bayar lebih kpd PTPTN. Selepas itu, bila nak cadang membeli rumah, bumi diskaun 7%, cuba fikirkan perasaan bukan bumi itu. ini merupakan contoh yang ringkas, dan banyak keadaan belum dibincangkan. Ini telah membangkitkan semangat utk bersaing, lihat pada orang Jepun, mereka sentiasa ditimpa bencana dan selepas bom atom masa perang dunia kedua,telah membangkitkan semangat utk memajukan negra itu.

Mungkin salah satu sebab negara kita sentiasa aman, dan tidak ditimpa bencana alam seperti negara lain, kerana bila berlakunya bencana seperti ini, semua orang akan menolong sesama sendiri, tanpa mengira kaum, sebab kita semua manusa, ada darah dan daging, kita semua insan yang dilahirkan dengan cara yang sama.

Saya dapati sesetengah orang di sini memberikan komen emosional yang terlalu ekstrem dan tidak berfikir. Tak kira apa bangsa, kita nak majukan negara! Semua kaum mempunyai kelemahan dan kelebihan tersendiri, compliment to each other. Terutamanya era globalisasi skrg, org cina boleh berdagang dengan Rakyat China, Org Melayu berdagang dgn Negara Arab, Org India berdagang degn Rakyat India, negara-negara yang disebut itu menpunyai potensi yg amat besar dan kita Malaysia saja di dunia ini yang mempunyai kelebihan ini dalam bahasa dan kebudayaan yang mempunyai persamaan tertentu.

Saya berasa sedih Raykat Malaysia kini masih dibelenggu dlm isu perkauman, isu untk bersaing dan dengki kepada kaum lain di Malaysia, tapi bukan memikirkan untk bersaing dengan org Jepun, Amerika, Korea yang lebih maju.mungkin sesetengh komen bloggers adalah betul, bumi ditolong, subsidi telah melemahkan semangat persaingan di antara bumi. Sampai bila kita nak maju ni? Wawasan 2020? pada pendapat saya, tidak dapt dicapai jikalau keadaan sebegini berterusan.

(Nota:saya adalah seorang pemuda, Rakyat Malaysia yang bukan berkaum Melayu.)

The Reid Commission did not mention anything about Malay special rights,only special position of the Malays.Don’t let this guy Ibrahim Abu Bakar misinform you.This recommendation came about, and rightly so, because at that time the Malays were largely ill prepared educationally because of their economic conditions and this was meant to help them catch up.However this special position is to be reviewed after 15 years (1972) but this was orally agreed by the founding fathers unfortunately.This special position then becomes special rights and gets carved in stoneThen NEP came about and the rest is history.
I like to point out one outstanding thing and that is this Malaysia is also the only country in this whole wide world whereby the major ethnic component of the population needs protection.Every other country it is the minority that needs protection because of the following reasons:
(1) Numbers are small (often only a few %)
(2) Financially weak
(3) Politically weak.
(4) militarily weak.
ARE THE MALAYS IN THIS COUNTRY WEAK IN THE AREAS? In this country the UMNOPUTRAS has succeeded in making quite a large number believe so for the last 50 years.However what most failed to realise is that they are being used to enrich these UMNOPUTRAS.Hence the sad state of affairs in ths country today!

Cannot be.racism has always been in Malaysia, in Singapore,in USA and in any country on this planet that you care to name and will never be eradicated cos this racism is attitudinal whereas the racism coming out from NEP is institutional!! That is the big difference.In institutionalised racism you are denied of your place under the sun if you possess the wrong colour.Nothing of that sort happens in attitudinal racism and that’s because such racism usually comes from your childhood environment,your upbringing.

The malays should have done the same since they were here much
earlier and had all the advantages instead of robing from the non-
malays.Be proud of race and earn your share like the others and
not being spoon fed.

how could all malaysians be created equal? there was slavery when malay rulers held absolute power! you couldn’t even say all men are created equal - let alone malaysians!

Racism should not have been in Malaysia at all, if not for the NEP. Racism in America is not said to be institutionalised. The people in USA would be able to change them, and the situation is improving with time. In Malaysia, it is legalised racism, and the people will have to change the governement, and yet we might not be able to move away from racism after UNNO has nurtured it for all the time it has been in power. Racism has gotten worse with time. When the people in UMNO enjoying government power now might consider reducing racial tension, other UMNO leaders and have- beens are getting more racist, and they are planning to regain power through exploiting racism.

UN’s accusation of USA does not make Racism in Malaysia more acceptable. We know that racism in USA now is not as serious as it was in 1957. In the case of Malaysia, racism has gotten worse now compared to 1957.

Until the persons in power in UMNO are willing to take politics as a service to the nation, rather than a means to enrich themselves, and willing to use the the enormous people vested in them for the benefits of the people rather than for self benefit, and are willing to be judged on their performance, rather than to create the vote banks through divide-and-rule policies, racism in the country will remain institutionalised. We shall be forever a low income country. The country may have tourists but most of our nationals cannot afford to be tourists pretty soon.
