My Views on Malay Supremacy

This subject has been in the air for some years. Of late, there tends to be a proliferation of discussion and debate not only in the BN controlled media but also the blogsites of many bigotted politicians.

In my view those Malay who talk about supremacy of the Malays do not seem to know what they are talking about. They appear to have an inherent inferiority complex, lack of self confidence and self-reliance.

Those who are well educated and possess the necessary survival skills do not need to nor have the neecd to harp on Malay supremacy.

Many Malays that I know have great self-respect for themselves and they do and integrate well with the community in which they live. They talk rationally and sensibly and they have the necessary communication skills. Most of them have written and spoken proficiency of the Malay and Englsih languages. Some were able to master and carry themselves well in Mandarin.

By being successsful in society, that itself earns and assure them the supremacy of respect from the people they work and interact with. There is no need to demand for racial or ethnic supremacy. Racial supremacy should never be taken for granted. It is not something that is there. It has to be worked for. No civilisation was ever formed or founded on the premise of granted supremacy.

I read often the racist remarks of one Ibrahim Ali, obviously a notorious member of UMNO. But this bloke has been getting away from murder and and often escape detention under the ISA for making racialistically provocative statements that hurt the feeling of the non-Malays. This extremist ought to be stopped or else he would destroy what Najib stood for. And, he is indeed a misfit and an embarrassment to the BN Government. I am sad to say that at this juncture of social economic development in Malaysia, we have moronic leaders like Ibrahim Ali who tried to score points by arousing the rakyat. I just pray that the rakyat will show him the exit at the coming 13th General Election.

What more do the Malays want? They are in control of practicially all the essential ministries, agencies, civil service, armed forces, the police, the customs, the judiaciary, immigration, palm oil industry, banking, utility companies, every licensing authority, scholarship, entrance to public universities, GLCs and quasi-government bodies and many of the big corporate giants like Sime Darby, Guthrie, PNB, Dunlop, Golden Hope, Petronas, mining sector etc. What else is there left for the non-Malays.

For all the above resources that the Malays have amassed through UMNO, some of the leaders still insist they want more and even to the extent of asking the non-Malays to get lost from the country. What sort of leaders are these?

Majority of the non-Malays possess one thing in common; that is, their moral courage to survive, industry, ingenuity and positive attitude to succeed against all odds. This is what they make them supreme even though they are so blatantly being discriminated against in terms of business opportunities and every known human endeavours.

For sure they will never go around provoking their neighbours into hating one another. If the non-Malays who are so economically disadvantaged can pride themselves of their achievements and successes with heads high up, that itself is their satisfaction and fulfillment. Definitely, they do not surive on handouts!

Supremacy, they certainly do not need; but they will continue their utmost to contribute positively to the economic development and progress of the nation. The national success is their pride of achievement.

Given the opportunities and help from the Government, they will even attain greater heights. Try them if you so will.

So extremists, please do not harp on Malay supremacy. It is a slogan that shows the avaricious and simpletonical tendency and character of the Malay race, if there is one.

Your supremacy will manifest if only you attain your success through your own efforts and not through bail-outs, corruption, abuse of power by resorting to political persecution of the opposition members.
