Racism In Malaysia.


Hello everyone,and first of all,I would like to thank you for taking your time to read this blog,This is just an opinion and everyone is entitle to one,I know I might get skull bash,but I don't want to be an ignorant prick. This PRU 13 really changes my mind a lot.If there's any mistake of me writing this,do please comment and correct me. I'm still new and fresh,so I might make a lot of it.

MALAYSIA


I want you to look at the text and picture above and tell me what you see.Is it a country that you love,country that you want to fight to make it stronger than any other.

For me,all I see is racism.
 (and racism wont make your country get any better)

How many countries are there that name themselves after their race ?

There's many.closest example.India,China and many more. I've never been to those other countries,so I don't know how race works there.But I'm currently staying in Indonesia,so I want to share some thoughts.

In Indonesia,they don't divide themselves among others by their race,instead by their decendent's, by their tribes,such as,Orang Jawa,Orang Sunda,Orang Palembang and the best one Ive heard is cina-indo. How I wish that my countrymen would call Chinese here as cina-malay,but I don't think that would happen.

Most Malays want to be united,but tell me folks,why cant we be united as a country,not united as a race,cant you see how racism are we in our country ? to cure racism,we need to admit it first,if not,I don't think things would get better.

Who created the word racism by the way,and why do that word seems to be a negative word and people are trying hard to cure and prevent it ? and what's wrong with being racist anyways ? all this question that been spinning around.Let's try to discuss it.

Lets put ourselves in their shoes for a moment,Imagine you are born Chinese or Indian in a country where most of the privileges are given to those so call "bumiputeras".Your father and mother are working hard to save money for your future education because they know that they might have to put you in private universities someday because you cant join in the “bumiputeras” universities that provide cheap fees and food.Because the government want to give special rights to the people who first come to this land.While you are actually immigrants that came to this land,brought by the British and others to work.

For me,this is sad.

Ok,so lets become a Malay instead,Your father and mother works hard to provide a better living for you and your other siblings,and keep telling you to study hard so you could get to a public universities,where you would become someone useful to the country,and not became like other malays that end up in prison or smoke drugs and ended up on the streets,they keep telling you how many malays are there in prison instead of chinese and Indians and keep telling Malays are getting worsen by the day,

You are being teached to become racist from the early days.

I’l end up this part one by things I witness the other day that made my heart really realise how bad the situation it is in Malaysia.

One day,I was in a local bank here In Malaysia, need to pay some stuff,later on,I saw a young mother and her daughter probably around 4 year old talking to the admins of the banks,I have no idea what theyre talking about but I keep looking at the kid because I think she is cute and adorable,jumping around happy smiling to other people.keep my heart warm,

 I overheard the conversation, I think that the mother wants to make a bank account for the daughter,”how many mothers does this actually ?” and the admin provide them with lots of information and severals promotion, after  a while, the mother and the kid seems happy to choose one because they think it was the best way to guarantee a safely future for that kid,

Suddenly, the bank admin say, “Im sorry miss,but this special promotion is only for bumiputera,we have other promotions if you wanted to.” And the mother look down to her daughter with a sad face but keep smiling to ensure the daughter that there’s always another way,the daughter then ask them, “what is bumiputera mother ? why cant I use this account ? I want that teddy bear !” I assume the teddy bear is given for a person who made that special account bank with them.

The admin is a young Indian lady,she looks sad by what the little girl say,she immediatly gave the little girl some ballons and some candy to cheer her up,the girl was happy and jump around while she try to talk to the mother, the mother was looking dissapointed but very happy by the way that the admin lady is treating them.She took some brochure and leave the place without making any bank accounts or whatsoever.

Inside my car,tears dropped.I keep asking myself,why does that kid have to go thru all this ? what god given rights for me to get special treatment while they cant, what kind of system am I living in where people who were born here,who bloods spill the same land as me,treated this way.

Remembering the events still give me a bit of a sad heart,

I will keep continuing to write about racism here. Hope you guys enjoyed what I wrote, I keep this for myself for quite some time because I dont think Malaysian people are ready,but I just couldnt hold back anymore. I hope all of you are opened towards this topic and give me comments of what you think or any other ideas,suggestion or stuff that happens infront of your eyes,please do not lie or make up stories  because that would indeed lead to a wrong information and might make things worse,we want to build a better future for our country.Thank you again.
