Thoughts: Malaysia

This is a picture I took when I was studying in Curtin, Sarawak. I remember that time I had finished school early and it was almost time for me to leave the uni. I had always wanted to take picture of it as I walk by the various places... Will slowly paste up the pictures...

I wanted to talk a bit about Malaysia nowadays. According to what I know, people of our generation and people with better income or background wants to get out of Malaysia. My family predicted that Malaysia is going to be equal to the state of other underdeveloped countries like Indonesia or Philippines.

The government system in Malaysia is not good. They over protect Malays and totally and absolutely ignore and sometimes to the extent of degrading other races. Chinese here has absolutely no chance to be independent or stand out against the Malays. The only way to stand out is through sports... which is very sad. All the major independent Chinese developed companies needs to or HAVE to have a Malay share holder. Sometimes the "share holder" does not even put out a sen. They just feed off the income made by the Chinese company and enjoy the rest of their live driving expensive cars and live in big houses.

I think that Malaysia is going no where. It is mainly sustained by logging, oil palms and tourism, which are mostly from east Malaysia. Then all the shopping or more developed cities are in west Malaysia. What is the point of that! If you look carefully in the tourism advertisements, they rarely do feature Chinese. All are natives (which are, again mostly in east Malaysia) and Malay. Multicultural society, I would say that is pure B.S.

I think enough said. People in Malaysia should understand what I am talking about. If we really want Malaysian Chinese to be considered part of Malaysia (instead of living in Malaysia), we need to stand together! We need to stick together! Look at our own Chinese political party. They even had a internal row when Chinese themselves in Malaysia has barely a ground to stand on... Look at Singapore, it is Chinese governed at it is a well developed place! sigh... Chinese really need too stick together where ever we are... Will talk more...
