List of racial discriminations in Malaysia Options

[HonoH]

List of racial discriminations in Malaysia, practiced by government as well as government agencies. This list is an open secret. Best verified by government itself because it got the statistics.

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 50 years since independence (1957).

List of racial discriminations (Malaysia):

(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.

[Satrai]

Go to Singapore and experience racial discrimination of ethnic Chinese towards ethnic Malay and Indians...

[Bobsmith69]

Go to Singapore and experience racial discrimination of ethnic Chinese towards ethnic Malay and Indians...

I wonder which country has a state sponsored affirmative action, aka The Malaysian New Economic Policy?

For Chinese Malaysians, your only hope is to take your "almost 90 percent of the country's income tax" elsewhere. You need to face facts: the Malaysian govt will never change it's discriminatory laws.

Why do you call it "Malay" TV? Are TV programmes supposed to be exclusively Malay? Maybe I should re read the Malaysian Contitution, I don't remember a section in there about TV belonging to Malays.

There are far more "Malay" schools in Malaysia then there are "Cina" ones. MARA schools are govnt controlled and just about exclusively Malay, with the govnt selecting student based on race. No such selection criteria exists in "Cina" schools, Malay students are just as accepted as Chinese or Indian ones.

Many countires have minority schools, including Australia where Muslims make up a smaller proportion of students than Chinese do in Malaysia. But hang on I forget many people like to compare Malaysia to the worst the world has to offer. If only Malaysia tried to be the best in the world rather then continually comparing herself to the worst, them maybe she would progress faster.

Malaysian govnt? Really? Pray tell whats so special about the Malaysian govnt? Besides them being corrupted and employing the divide to rule attitude.

Ha ha you just proved my point, comparing Malaysia to the worst the world has to offer, no wonder Malaysia has fallen so far behind Singapore. Forget about Wawasan 2020, when people ask what you want from Malaysia, you should tell them we strive to be like Zimbabwe.

It depends sometimes you've got to get into the gutter to fight rats. Besides you should know that some of the posters here have a chip on their shoulder about Singapore, you know the ones who keep calling them names and continually tying to put them down, when the truth that is plain to see is that they are simply jealous. We all choose the type of life we want to lead, money isn't everything. But its so obvious that to some posters here money is used as a measure to judge success and they are simply jealous of Singapore. In terms of financial success, prosperity and technological advancement, there is no comparison, Singapore is miles ahead of Malaysia. Its plain to see that some of the arguments here are not based on fact but simple jealousy.

When people start wanting to have legitimate discussions then we'll see.

Tiger Airways
Tiger brought back down to earth
Jul 4th 2011, 17:31 by A.B.

AUSTRALIA'S Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) has grounded all domestic services operated by Tiger Airways, a budget airline headquartered in Singapore and 40% owned by Singapore Airlines. CASA, which was already concerned about the company's pilot training and maintenance, acted at the weekend in the wake of two incidences of flights operating at dangerously low levels. It said that "permitting the airline to continue to fly poses a serious and imminent risk to air safety."

The grounding, the first such of its kind issued by CASA, remains in force until July 9th. If CASA's fears are not allayed during the week, it will apply to a federal court for an extension of the suspension.

These actions have played havoc with the travel plans of some 35,000 would-be flyers who are expected to be stranded this week. They should get a refund from the airline, and in some cases have been offered reduced prices on tickets with other carriers.

Tiger's emergence in Australia four years ago helped push fares down on domestic routes. If it is not allowed to continue to run operations in Australia (or if it decides to retreat of its own accord) domestic passengers could face an uncomfortable rise in fares. News of Tiger's difficulties helped push up the share prices of the two airlines that have most to gain, Qantas and Virgin Blue, during Monday's trading.

O RLY?

[swingdoctor]

O RLY?

You have a habit of making generalisations from single examples.

SIA vs MAS
SingTel vs Telekom
etc etc

again the best way to determine financial success is to look at GDP PPP per capita. I would hate to think that Singapore was always successful and Malaysia always unsuccessful, otherwise you will always be able to find singular examples. As the saying goes, you have to look at the wood from the trees. I can give you singular examples of failures of any country in the world including Malaysia.

[chutzpah]

O RLY?

Bodoh, Tigerair Oz is operated, serviced and managed in Australia, thus it is a localised problem in Australia. This is another result of your Bolehland government spoon feeding you, the total lack of comprehension another word - BODOH!

[humiliator]

I'm not going to bother correcting all the trash being posted in this thread. Just want to say we malays make no apologies for pursuing our interests. Other race would have done the same if they were the majority.

Chinese and other ethnic groups in malaysia are poor not only because of discrimination but also because they are not as smart as Malays.
We are the richest, the most feared, the most advanced and the most poweful people in Malaysia. Deal with it

Sorry for telling you this
but singaporeans are second class citizens in their own country. Born to clean toilet bowls in the homes of foreign expats and permanent residents.
As a Malaysian I spit on singaporeans. They are not our equals. We generally live in houses and own cars while singaporeans live in crowded miserable flats and have to go around with public transport.

One more thing,
singapore is technologically inferior to malaysia. Their best technology is only in making $hit water drinkable while the best malaysian technologies are Euro-5 compliant car engines developed by Petronas and Proton.

Thats simply because you're racist and you're wrong, at independence Malays made up just under 50% of the population. The NEP was agreed to by the other major races as a way to increase wealth among Malays and therefore create a more harmonious Malaysia, at a time when Malays as a race were the poorest. One thing the Malays did do though is politically outmanouver/screw the other races. Because now that they are no longer the poorest (the Indians are) the reasons have shifted from national interests to Malays interests but one that the govnt cannot justify. Malays are now the strongest single political group simply becasue they are the most numerous and UMNO has changed the contituency boundries multiple times to give the rural people a stronger political vote compared to their city counterparts, where opposition to UMNO/BN is strongest.

The number of true expats in Singapore is decreasing anecdotally, furthermore with more and more expats accepting local terms rather then lucrative expat terms. Most of the menial jobs in singapore ie construction, retail, cleaning factory workers etc are filled by foreigners including Malaysians, becasue Singaporeans simply refuse to perform these jobs. Very few Singaporeans aspire to live and work in Malaysia including Malays, malany Malaysians work and/or aspire to to live/work in Singapore, why is that?

The truth is that you are simply full of yourself, and your race, choose to believe what you want but you are wrong.
