Sifat perkauman amat susah dihapuskan. Dinegara majupun masih ada sentimen ini tetapi tidaklah seperti berlaku di msia. Melalui pengalaman saya semasa kecil, saya tinggal dikampung melayu di Lrg Derga, Alor Setar (i’m an indian) dan pernah diambil menjadi anak angkat kpd keluarga melayu. pada masa itu (sekitar 70′an) kami dapat hidup dlm suasana mesra dan muhibah. Jika ada kenduri dikampong,saya juga dipanggil menjadi bentara dan saya akan serve hidangan kpd para tamu dan mereka tidak pernah layan saya spt bangsa asing. malah saya dipanggil dgn gelaran “Gani”. Keadaan ini sesuatu yg saya tidak dapat lihat di zaman skg. Ini semua berpunca drp kaedah sistem pendidikan negara yg kurang menekankan semangat integrasi diantara kaum. Malah Guru2 sendiri tiada mempunyai sifat & semangat ini. Saya juga mendapat maklumat ada Guru yg bersifat perkauman dgn memilih murid2 melayu utk program2 khas atau pemilihan pemimpin pelajar atau sebarang aktiviti. Disinilah tempat bermulanya sentimen perkauman dan satu benih baru akan bermula samada positf atau negatif diminda mereka. Guru sekolah harus menggalakan murid2 berinteraksi dan bermesra dgn baik diantara semua kaum dan pastikan penyertaan semua kaum secara saksama tanpa mengira kuota demi perpaduan dan kesejahteraan masa hadapan Malaysia. Cuba lihat sistem pentadbiran Jab.Pendidikan sendiri. Kita boleh membilang dgn jari berapa bil Pegawai Pendidikan daerah atau pegawai2 utama di Pej.pendidikan daerah dan negeri. Kenapa ini berlaku di Jab.Pendidikan? Di Kementerian Kesihatan tidak begitu racialist dimana banyak Doktor2 bukan melayu menjadi Pengarah negeri atau Pengarah Hospital dan Pegawai Kesihatan Daerah. Tetapi di Pej.Pendidikan amat susah utk melihat seorang bukan Melayu menjadi ketua jabatan! Inilah dia dikatakan perkauman oleh Kerajaan BN dan UMNO. (Mungkin kerana kebanyakan Guru adalah ahli UMNO???) Malah Pengetua atau Gurubesar dari kaum bukan melayu pun sukar dilihat di sek.kebangsaan.
Dlm hal ekonomi, Parti2 politik pula terlalu bersifat perkauman dan ingin memajukan satu kaum shj sbg prioriti. Bangsa Malaysia harus diutamakan. Malaysia harus bersifat terbuka dlm semua bidang terutama pendidikan. Siapa yg layak dan pandai harus mendapat peluang ,mengikut prosedur & peraturan. Dgn adanya pertandingan sihat ini, tanpa disedari bilangan cendiakiawan Melayu juga akan bertambah kerana adanya competition sihat. Kenapa harus takut? Contohilah negara maju spt Amerika, kanada, U.K, Australia dll. Saya amat sedih melihat perkembangan tanah air kita yg terlalu sempit pemikiran pemimpin nya dan takut kpd bayang2 sendiri. JIKA MALAYSIA BENAR2 INGIN BERJAYA DAN MAKMUR SPT DAHULU, PERTAMA SEKALI HARUS UBAH SISTEM PENDIDIKAN, EKONOMI DAN SOSIAL. UJUDKAN BANGSA MALAYSIA DAN FOKUSKAN LEBIH KEPADA INTEGRITI, MORAL & AGAMA SERTA PEMBANGUNAN MODALINSAN. Agama adalah asas kpd sahsiah diri. Jika semua rakyat mematuhi peraturan2 dlm agama masing2, tak ada masalah akan timbul. Islam mengajar perkara2 yg sangat mulia. Kenapa perlu ada double standard?

i like to touch the comments by cotang. i had personal experience with favoritism. i don’t like to use racism, sound negative and bad. one of my previous so called ‘malaysian’ company. my superior and all the senior staff were chinese except one malay. the newly recruit graduate chinese were given the priority to be in charge though, there were experience malay engineers around. we didn’t complain. it was a chinese company anyway. due to my special competency, i was treated differently. what if there were a chinese engineer like myself, would i be the same?..it was favoritism with a pinch of racism. please correct me if i am wrong. we would have the same scenario in a malay company. the malay would be the preferred choice and would be the favorite. this happened also in the west and the so call democratic countries. when i was a student in the states, i have seen and heard racial remarks being used by the white americans. i have worked in the states, and have seen the racism with my own eyes. it was the same also when i was in europe. and it is the same in malaysia, we called names to the bangladeshis, indonesians. isn’t that racism? now i am working oversea, i still see racism also. don’t think everything is good oversea, especially the west, remember this ‘not all that gliters is gold’ as what ‘ledzep’ said.

you complaint about malaysian policies of protectionist. you need to learn about capitalism, then you know why we need that. i was in beijing recently, they are doing good with their control over the economy, opening up at their own pace. malaysia was doing the same, opened up at our own pace. the west was not happy, even not happy now because of greed. they have the cash, which could buy a third country if they want to. we don’t have that. they see the opportunity to make money, so they want it, all for themselves. i still could not understand why you don’t see this. most of factories move to china, low wages so low cost and better profits not because of the policies. it is just the bottom line, how much money!

Hey Dr Siddiq,

Thanks for the link.

It’s no problem with the remark. There is nothing to forgive on my part ‘cos it din offend me or hurt me (emotionally, if physically can make police report ). If he has a valid point then I’ll accept, if not just ignore.

Live and let live.

Also, he is not the only one on both sides of the divide.

Forcibly shutting people up usually motivates them to “rebel”.

Chinese is Pendatang? True or not no one can deny the fact that it happen that the british brought them to work here in Malaysia..
But until now our leader still kindly each other rights until you chinese your own people try to collapse the harmony between us and make it serious racism, u talk about our bumiputera’s right eventhough u can.. u abuse the freedom of voice the goernment give to u
just to take advantage like u always do.. I am not racism and i can define it properly
do we oppress the chinese until they dun even have voice in the community and politics?
they have done the racism with the malay in singapore where the malay can’t even speek their voice in the community.. No Azan? that’s true criminal of racism!! do we do that in Malaysia to our fellow friends chinese? No!! we respect them and we trust them! we give them opportunity in every divisions.. but why they kindly speak about the Malays of being racist? Just for the statement of pendatang? Racism isn’t a playchild stuff to deal with.. it can create chaos.. we don’t want that to happen to our country.. we have to be tolerate to solve this matter
don’t add fire with fire..
we live in democracy and lets settle it quietly

Different peoples responded in different ways. Some just brush aside the term “pendatang” doen’s mean the rest can not protest.

Siddiq PM? haha
Dengar tak Siddiq, the Infamous Blogger!
Kelakar.

This talk about Malay, Chinese all blowing out of proportion. My point of view is this,

Malaysia Bar was talking about the legal point of view about Islam inshrined in the Constitution.
-so that, Islam’s Shariah Court jurisdiction can be better defined. It is a responsible issue and our Govt has made a big hoohah in the national media. If it is an open minded forum, I see no wrong.

Ahmad was talking specifically about non-malays’ position and called us “Immigrants”. Dato Nazri said in Parliament, in general that immigrants have no rights and all they have is privileges that can be taken away.
-I think that is uncalled for and discriminatory. Not a responsible thing to say if you are a leader.

Why can’t our leaders put aside skin color and race when making policies. Do you only want rich malays getting richer while the poor malays(still many), chinese and indians are suffering?

That’s why we need a more comprehensive economic policy.

Perasaan benci membenci antara Melayu Cina India adalah buatan Kerajaan BN. NEP/DEB telah buat orang Cina India prejudice terhadap Melayu padahalnya, orang Melayu elite UMNO sahaja yang untung.

Orang Melayu pula takut bila Islam dan kedudukan Melayu di soal. Matlamat Majlis Peguam diputarbelit oleh kerajaan untuk buat oranf Melayu berang.

Tan Sri Khalid kata nak buka UITM 10% dahulu cadangan Tun Mahathir. Tapi dulu, takde protes, UMNO tak kata Tun jual negara kpd Cina. Ni double standard!

Kita sebagai generasi Malaysia baru jangan termakan semua ni. Mari kita bina Malaysia yg lebih hebat dan lebih berjaya.

greed. it is the issue here. once you get it, you become hungry, for power, paranoid and homophobic. the malays feel that what they have now is not enough, so they want more. the chinese always want more, they coined the term kiasu. the indians always feel not enough, they also want more. we should not blame whether malays, chinese or indians. it just the disease. the politicians saw this weakness, manipulate and take advantage.
it sad to see what happened now.
i remember growing up in a kampung. be it indians, chinese or malays, we didn’t bother about the differences. my grandfather and me always have breakfast and coffee at a chinese shop. people call each other by first names. we have the “ais kepal” at a nyonya stall after every football games. we didn’t bother about who’s selling.
but now, people are more concern on what they have and have not. if there are differences, we tend to see them as enemy. greed is the in thing, the fashion now. and may one day bury us all, be it malays, chinese or indians. i hope not. we can change that, after all, we are the same. trying to figure out how to start…..my close friends are malaysian. trying not to call them chinese or malays or indians. i think it is a good start.

I pray Dr.Siddiq will become the future Malaysian Prime Minister one day.
