See, it is happening over and over again just like a sinusoidal cycle.
People, people, people… please do not be misguided.
Can’t you all see… whenever the situation becomes too hot for the “POLITICIANS”, they find something to keep the public occupied and most of the times it will be something about our neighbors but I believe the situation is very, very HOT now, so much so, they have to turn into a racial issue just to get the Public to fight each other.
Remember what RPK has written “After all, someone cannot exploit you unless you want to be exploited. ……” and what I have written “ Like I mentioned before, the current situation are 5 % of us are true leaders, 5% are the corrupted ones who had misled the other 90% who can easily be deceived to perceive. So people, please wake up and study the jigsaw puzzle and we can reduce the 90% majority. (Democracy, my foot) ”

Again, I would like to propose “The time has come for us, the REAL professionals, who care about the country, regardless of RACE AND CREED to form an OFFICIAL pressure group to look into the FOUR perspectives that are unique to Malaysia namely POLITICAL, CORPORATE, SPIRITUAL AND SOVEREIGN. I would like to nominate RPK as our first President.

Anyway, just to add some spice on Singapore (it is okay to be competitive with your neighbour and it is healthy within certain limitation) , she is like vermiform appendix… it is there and does not serve any single purpose but can sometimes be a pain in the XXXX (stomach lah). So, Corrupted Politicians, do not give us appendicitis or we will REMOVE you.

Confuse_us’s ART OF WAR says “If your enemy is competent, you better be prepared but if your enemies are ignoramuses, you have won half the battle”

To say that Singapore Malays are not allowed to hold guns in the army are totally untrue and an exageration. The Malays in Singapore is proud that they do not need clutches like their brothers in Malays. How many of them apply for PR in Malaysia or cross to Malaysia to work? If they succeed, it is truely based on their own abilities. We rarely hear Malays in Singapore said they are being deliberately marginalised. A small country like Singapore cannot afford to discriminate against whoever are capable. Every talent has to be used to the fullest in order to ensure their survival. But, in Malaysia, we hear tonnes of greviences from the non-Malays from being unable to get scholarships, unable enter public universities, unable to get government contracts, paying more for properties, insufficient number of chinese schools, funds for Chinese school being abused, etc. The only non-Malays who don't complain are those who need to preserve their positions in the govermnment. In fact, Malaysia is the only country in the world today where the majority discriminate against the minority since the fall of apartheid system in South Africa.

Yes the Malays are marginised in Singapore. If they can make the grade to study in the tertiary insitutes like NUS, NTU and the Polytechnics - they DO NOT HAVE to PAY Fees even if they are Part time students!!! They get FREE from the Singapore Government. Damn marginised.

The issue here is not who said it but whether what was said is true.

However, you may wish to note the following facts.

One is a leader of a multi-racial party while the other is a leader of a party which subscribes to racial and religious prejudices.

One is highly regarded as an elder statesman and well respected by many while the other has now become a pariah in his own racist party.

Whoever is more successful is very clear for all to see although I feel that Malaysia could have done much better than what it is today if racial and religious prejudices are not condoned by the ruling party.

Solid point from TDM "I look at the houses in KL of the people that are 'systematically marginalised'. They have bigger houses than mine."

Pity the Chinese in Malaysia, being marginalised but KAYA-RAYA, business in Malaysia semua dia punya, kedai runcit in Malaysia semua dia supply, pasar borong semua dia sapu, pasar raya pun dia juga, apa benda buat duit dia mesti ada share punya,..kesian the Chinese, teruk betul orang Melayu kat Malaysia ya!

Agree with you basheer. That's why we should keep NEP.NEP need major overhaul over its systems. Enforcements and constant monitoring to avoid abuses.

No doubt there were corrupt practices while implimenting NEP, but its the only solution to solve Malay backwardness in major economic fields.

orAng cina dimalaysia sudang naik TOCANG

its normal immigrants' behaviour.

bila mula datang, baik and no komplen.

lama kelamaan, wants their rights.

finally, the chinese will says this is our country.

singapore is a very good example. MEREKA INI PANDAI MANIPULATE UNDANG2. INDIA PUN KALAH. KALAU ADA INDIA DAN KALU ADA ULAR, PASTIKAN BUNUH INDIA DULU KALAU MAHU BUNUH ITU ULAR.

kalau tak jaga2, pulau pinang pun akan jadi singapura.

TDM and LKY sudah merapu2.

itu tandanya mereka sudah nyanyuk zaman muda.

nyanyuk zaman moden mereka nampak macam pandai, tetapi sebenarnya disebaliknya.

my advice to this great statemen, take a rest dan buat amal ibadat.

TDM, this is your last chance to convert LKY.

I just want to see TDM and LJY go to heaven.

Then, you will see, TDM and LKY, KEJAYAAN DIDUNIA DAN DI AKHIRAT

Saya rasa semua bloggers setuju.

Mahathir certainly has a big chip on his shoulder each time the subject of LKY and Singapore crops up. The more he derides and berates Singapore for its small size, lack of resources, etc., the more he is exposed as being extremely jealous and hateful of LKY and Singapore...the same kind of hatred that arabs continue to show towards the Jews and Israel..

But it is precisely this kind of hatred and jealousy of Mahathir and UMNO towards LKY and Singapore that has made S'pore not only survive, but also prosper against great odds for the past 41 years...and will even spur S'pore towards greater determination to succeed... That is exactly what is happening to Israel and shows Israel becoming even stronger and stronger vis-a-vis the Arabs..God is VERY VERY FAIR in putting jealous people in their proper places to stew in their own juices..

Coming back to LKY's latest remarks, yes they indicate Singapore's success and ability to hold its head high in the international arena..and yes it has the effect to shame Malaysia and UMNO...politicians in Malaysia, yes, especially UMNO/BN,gets hurt very bad each time a veteran politician like LKY, socks them in the balls with the recent remarks that UMNO marginalizes the Chinese in Malaysia and expect Singapore and PAP to be submissive and compliant like Koh Tsu Koon, Gerakan and Penang to KL...no way will Singapore do that...otherwise it would be just like Penang, being neither here nor there, and each time the Chinese in Penang show some success, there will be jealous UMNO types trying to bring them down...

As for the compliant Malaysian Chinese leaders in Gerakan and MCA, over the years their subservience to UMNO in BN have made them develop the helpless feeling of having no choice except to support your oppressor (UMNO) out of fear that in not doing so, UMNO will put even greater pressure on them...the pragmatic nature of Malaysian Chinese leaders in MCA, Gerakan, SUPP and PPP is such that they will never dare to antagonise UMNO...unless they see signs of UMNO losing power...then there is nothing to stop them from even reaching out to LKY and yes China, Taiwian..when the crunch comes to ensure their survival.....
