Ma...Racism doesn't require a 'white' to make it so. Malaysia is somewhat like the former South Africa, maybe Zimbabwe, but perhaps not so bad, but just as discriminatory. The laws are instituted to protect the elite Malays.<BR/><BR/>Not all Malays benefit from the selective favouritism. Some of my best mates are Malays and they frown upon such discriminatory structures, but it will take a strong Malay leader to have the guts and the sense to stand up and say, dismantle all the racist bias in Malaysia's systems.<BR/><BR/>I don't see any such Malay leader, not even in Anwar Ibrahim whom many don't trust at all. He sings a different tune now because he is not in power.KTemochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09951253039042572381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11109306.post-1134479538114434852005-12-13T21:12:00.000+08:002005-12-13T21:12:00.000+08:00Well looking at faily recent history Malaysia has ...Well looking at faily recent history Malaysia has had a far from flattering race riot history:<BR/><BR/>1969 - During Chinese/Malay race riots "According to police figures, 196 people died, 149 were wounded and many women were raped. 753 cases of arson were logged and 211 vehicles were destroyed or severely damaged. Other sources place the number of dead at above 200, while some eyewitness accounts place the number of deaths at 700 to even 1000." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_13_Incident<BR/><BR/>Today: racism in Malaysia is codified in law to favour Malays over Chinese Malaysians. See the Economist 25 August 2005 http://www.economist.com/displaystory.cfm?story_id=4323219<BR/><BR/>I know its unfair to tar Malaysia with the racist brush (because no whites are involved). But when Howard meets the Malaysian PM Howard is the one who can still feel a little smug.<BR/><BR/>We Australians don't have racially based laws and codes.Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624742078679760819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11109306.post-1134471891386412082005-12-13T19:04:00.000+08:002005-12-13T19:04:00.000+08:00Anonymous, did you see me judgemental in that issu...Anonymous, did you see me judgemental in that issue?
