now about the unity and advancement... see malaysia is not japan, korea... those are not multi racial countries... and we are also not like the good ol' US of A coz here the majority is ingenious ppl, where in US where majority of them are immigrants and the ingenious ppl lives in reserves or somthin'
japan and korea has more ppl in their countries to sustain their growth, and most of their products are for export. malaysia builds cars mostly for local consumption, and there is only that many ppl who is going to buy cars in malaysia.
yes protection is not good. advantages to a selected few also is not good. but what about some advantage to increase the living standards of many?
maybe you feel disadvantaged. but do you really want to live in a country where you can see so many ppl who is poorer than you... and hate you coz you are richer then them? thats what is happening to the chinese in indonesia, you dont want that to happen to you here right?
hey the ol' US of A is a country of oportunities and built with the dreams of all immigrants for wanting a better life. have you stayed there before? i have, in new york for a year.
read the bloody american history. the amerian indians are more content with staying in the reserves because there is no federal jurisdiction in the reserves. it's mostly converted into casinos now and they are raking in millions from minimal taxation. also there is no duites in tabacco and alcohol there.
it's is the free enterprise and no restrictions in doing business that made it the super power it is today. there are laws gainst cartels and monopoly. a land where free speech is encouraged.
the jews came to US as poor refuges and became filthy rich because the worked hard and owe nobody anything. same as the chinese who was left for dead after building the railroads, went to frisco during the gold rush and made soemthing for themselves. every race be it the irish, italians, greek, turks, poles arrived with nothing and worked their arses off. if you're rich you would not be in america. that is the american dream.
it's the same as the rest of the races here in south east asia. read lim goh tong's, loh boon siew's bio. everyone came to this land with nothing and everyone started with a clean slate. how many of the early pioneers died because of disease and the long journey. the only thing that kept our ancestors from pushing harder is a promise of a better living for themselves and for their children and their children's children. it's better to die trying than to die of starvation in china.
the ppl who riot are idiots and who refuse to work but insist on taking a share. the world is full of oportunities if you jsut sit up, look around and work for it. nothing in this world comes free. god help those who help themselves.
the bumi's sell their rights to others and are more content with sitting down and taking in a cut every month. but it's the other races who still ahve to work to pay off others. one person is doing multiple person's job. is this fair? why can't we question the government?
yes, i am not an original citizen. i am only paying my rent to have a right to stay here. treat us badly and we will eventually leave one day. it is sad we will always be treated as the unwanted child of this country.
