THE MALAYS ARE NOT RACISTS, THEY ARE FRUSTRATED & FED UP

I have said this many times and have received a lot of condemnation from my own Chinese friends for not defending the Chinese. But I will say it again.

The Malays are not racist when the Malays vehemently oppose the recognition of UEC, oppose uncontrolled pig farming or insist the Chinese Indians read-speak-write proper bahasa Melayu.

The Malays have actually reached a boiling point, but many Chinese refuse to acknowledge this reality due to pride, ego & ignorance.

Pride & ego means that these Chinese feel that more money equals smarter, hence the Malays who have less money than the Chinese must be either stupid or lazy.

Ignorance means that these Chinese do not have any friends beyond the Chinese circle. The only time these Chinese actually speak Malay or talk to a Malay is when they talk to the Nepali guard at the condominium, or the Grab driver, or the police officer at the roadblock, or the officer at a government office. Yup. That's about it.

The Malays have been patient for a very long time. But patience does not mean ignorance.

When a small group of "Chinese fighters" try to push for UEC, protest against the closure of uncontrolled pig farming, insist that Chinese and English is more important than bahasa Melayu, you think the Malays are not aware?

The Malays are very fully aware, but sometimes choose to be patient for the sake of peace, harmony and stability.

But patience has its limits. When such limits are pushed too far, it breaks and chaos ensues.

The Chinese should also be always reminded that Malaysia has a Chinese population of less than 30%. The supermajority are the Malays.

So when a small group of people decided to be "Chinese fighters", I dont think that's wisdom. It is plain stupidity.

Even if these "Chinese fighters" are successfully convinced the entire 30% Chinese in the country to support a particular agenda, this particular agenda will never materialise.

Because for every reaction, there is a counter-reaction. It is only a matter of time before the other 70% comes back at the 30% Chinese.

What we are seeing in West Malaysia today is exactly the counter-reaction by the 70%.

Just today, I read a news of a Malay man driving recklessly, resulting in the death of an 18 year old student awaiting a chance to enter university.

I did not see a single Malay supporting the Malay reckless driver, neither did I see any Malays laughing at the Chinese family.

In fact not many Chinese are aware of this horrible accident. The Malays are more aware about it and the Malays chose to symphatise with the Chinese.

So I do not believe the Malays are racists or hate the Chinese. They are just frustrated and fed up seeing the Chinese refusing to assimilate.
