forrestcat
The term Bolehland or BolehMan's land is a generally a name used by Malaysia haters to trample Malaysia. These terms are common in Singaporean forums and forums by ex-Malaysians . To all Malaysians who are very proud of the name of our country MALAYSIA, would you tolerate such name to be used for our country. I know Bolehman and Bolehland are not dirty words, but can't they just call it Malaysia. Americans are quite annoyed when called Yankees, wouldn't we feel the same if Malaysia is kept being referred to as Bolehman's land and Bolehland.

Ppl who hate our guts can call Malaysia anything they want.

I really couldn't care less. cool30.gif

It's undeniable that malays are stupid, lazy and incapable. Why don't they just humbly admit the facts and repent and learn from other races especially Chinese?

What is the point to argue here and wasting time again?

From the first onwards we were merely telling the truths. It wasn't us who think that way but their own Pak Lah as well.

All malays should go and read the newspaper, even Pak Lah is ashamed of maintaining the NEP after 34 years of implementing it and these malay baboons are still asking for it.

Even Pak Lah wanted them to compete on a level playing field.

So what does all these tell the world? It sends a very clear message that it is malays themselves who are incapable and lazy and they don't even want to admit it and make a change!

That is the biggest shame of all.

Can't you see, it's all back to square one. Year in, year out, some talk for half an hour, some one, some two. Some sing, many belt out their most recent released 'pantun'.

After all. Malays are good at that. Suggestions after suggestions, some good, some impossible to realize.

But, do you see any of these materialised? Hardly. Why, why and why???

Because the malays can never change. Never! Why?

The leaders forgot or were it they simply didn't want to admit and address that the actual disease is the malays and the remedy itself is also, the malays. They can never change. What is it about the malays?

Firstly as you all know, they are a lazy species. Since the beginning of time they have been like that. Even the encyclopedia called them as lazy people. I think those British with their accent tried to call them "malas", and if you put "y" in, it becomes "malays".

Embracing Islam make them a worse lot. Now they have a license to kill anything that gets into their way.

Malays are ungrateful lot. In reality, they just can't live or open their minds for others. When Mahathir said that they are complacent, they put him in jail. When Mahathir encouraged them to learn English language, they got angry with him saying it is a 'bahasa penjajah'.

When other races 'maju', they got angry with them too. That was why at the end of Mahathir his regime, he said this, "I have achieved greatness as a PM, but I only fail in one thing, changing the malays."

Well, nothing to be surprised about anyway since Mahathir is not really a malay, and I guess that was why the malays were angry with him.

Drug abuse, hate, incest, liberal extremism (culture of miniskirts and gay marriages), murder, racism, rape, religious fanaticism, parochialism, snatch theft, spoilt-bratty behavior, tribalism, wife abuse, child abuse, all that is associated with the malay race.

To them, malay is the biggest impediment towards building a truly Malaysian nation, and should be chucked into the dustbins of history.

Sad. Sad. Sad.

The question asked by many of my fellow Chinese is this - Why can't you just tell the malay peoples to adopt Chinese culture which is superior?

From research, this peninsular was part of the Siamese empire way before these malays from Indonesia invaded it.

Still so thick skin, don't want to go back to Indonesia!

Boleh land literally means can-do land.

Well, if you consider the government's attitude, it may not be too surprising we're considered to be a Bolehland. After all, this is the place where you have more Class F contractors than doctors per person, a national space programme while middle-class citizens have to filter teh tarik water, the tallest twin towers when middle-class neighbourhoods are hiring private guards by the dozen...

What Malaysia needs is equal distribution of its equity. everything else will fall into place.

Damn, there are 5 million foreigners who overstayed in Malaysia, does this mean we have 5 million potential robbers!!???? Takpe, kita boleh handle!!1

No wonder gomen use 'boleh' , its handy and giving the people an illusion that everything is going to be OK.

yeah...i think the term "malaysia boleh" is to create a more positive mind among us malaysians so that whatever challenge we are facing everyday in our lives we just look back in the "malaysia boleh" thingie and well..just say yes to every impossible things biggthumpup.gif
mmmbop
It's pscychology. the term boleh is an effort to instill into malaysian that we can berdiri sama tinggi, duduk sama rendah. after decades of colonisation, not to mention different ones, Portuguese, Japanese, Brits, we have been let down by our own mind that we incapable of doing better than a farmer or a sphepherd. It's a good thing actually. Looking how the American ppl being self reliant, like you know, sometimes you heard they made self-made rocket back at their own garage..another word is DARE.dare to do it. dare to take the risk. dare to challenge though not means always succeed..Innovation and creativity..Except that we malaysian are not that good enough.but still like i said it's a good effort.

The problem is Malaysia Boleh has been degraded and trampled upon by abuse. Honestly, who cares if you can make the world's largest roti canai, form the longest human chain, or all that crap? Even if it's something like going to the Moon, how does it benefit Malaysians? Malaysia Boleh should be for things like Nicol David's achievement in the British Open, not for projects which are of no use to our nation's good name or its people's quality of life.

i agree with you lol beerchug.gif , sometimes the word malaysia boleh and bolehland is abuse by others to ridicule our country (like when someone did/organize/invent/build something that serve no purpose but for display only, ppl will say, this things sure can happen because he/she's from bolehland, apa pun boleh)

Tak tahu menari, dikatakan lantai berjoget-joget ,model of racist nation ni.

Now i know this person is a bigot all through and through, worst than the thais who hijack this thread in the past, at leats Jedi and Sirikattong leave this thread alone for now,but this person regularly inject xenophobic notions into this thread, we dun come here to read garbage. How can this so smart person says he's the real Malaysian then attack other Malaysians, pitiful pity.

I believe it was the intention of model of racist nation to turn the Malaysian thread into a field of racial war with other people from other ASEAN threads but failed, this prooves that neither the Malays nor the non malays and other asians are as low as model of racist nations.

If modelofracist nation wants fighting with other malays, go to somewhere else like the yahoo msgboards, please leave us alone for god sake.

I've always been quite irked by the "Malaysia Boleh" slogan ... especially when it is used for something silly like breaking records. Like what some of you said, what's the use of spending your time and money breaking records if they aren't even beneficial to the people?

And the largest songkok at the 101 Mall. Yup, it's ridiculous. What was your motive again? Breaking records?


I agree on what johnleemk said ... Malaysia Boleh should be reserved to those with the likes of Nicol David, Daniel Bego and Bryan Nickson.

If Singaporeans call us Boleh-land, we can call them Kiasu-land or nanny state or the best description, "Fine Country". or "piss drinking country' so Why get so worked up men?

But you know, as a resident in Johor Bahru, whenever I compared the neighbour to our sorry state, I will sadly say "Malaysia boleh... boleh belah"

So do not blame us Johorians especially those who live in JB for being un-patrotic. For we are living in shame.

Duhh, wateva it is, i tink livin in flats r better than those who don't hav any house 2 live in..n u tink wat, e government build e flats 4 fun..of coz not, its bcoz we got limited land, tats why..i kno tat e spore government 1s e best 4 e citizens, juz lyk e malaysia government 1s e best 4 e malaysia citizens..
And 4 goodness sake, b optimistic and not pessimistic will ya, tink postive..
ther are many positive tings..

Lyk wat i posted in 1 of e threads,let me repeat it again, livin in Flats not sumting bad lyk wat sum of u tink, we can make new friends, interact with different races, coz in 1 flats, theres a mixture of different races, and the government wants 2 promote racial harmony, so it is not that bad, coz we can interact with each other and learn to tolerate each other..so everyone will understand each other even though they are of different races and religions..

So u see, its nt sumtin bad livin in flats..anyway we kno tat spore gt limited lands, n sum of e lands r needed 4 certain tings lyk 4 recreational purpose n so on..so its nt sumtin tat e govrnment 1 too which to build e flats but its bcoz of e disadvantages such as limited land ...so in 1 flats, ders a quota lyk how many chinese,malay,indian can live der, n so on 2 promote racial harmony..e gvrnmnt tri 2 turn e disadvantages into sumtin tat can benefits dem, n since ther r many races livin in spore juz lyk malaysia, so tats y they gt tis quota tings 2 make sure thers equal amount of races livin in tat 1 flats[ of coz they muz compare wit e ratio 2 make e propotional equal]

but of coz diff people tink differently, so sum ppl may 1 2 buy houses in malaysia coz they r cheaper n so on..or want 2 rent it so can gain money or sumtin lyk tat, they r many reasons of coz, as it all depends on e ppl

Wateva it is u people call it, sardin cans or wat..i tink e government did a good job 2 change e disadvantages into sumtin tat benefitz all of us..so i dont mind if its small or wat..wat i kno is tat dey did a good job n i really appreciated tat..

Dont wanna fight with any of u okie dokie, so cheers..if u nt happy wit wat i said..u can 4gt bout tat..after all tis juz FYI about e flat tingy..
