As promised this topic kept bugging me despite trying to refrain myself from sounding political.

Do they think we Malaysians are so stupid that we are oblivious to what goes on around us?
Again, politics have decided to put their dirty fingers into well accomplished institutions and smear it forever!

There are 3 issues here :
1. the equity share which is being debated 45% vs 18%
2. the credibility of our scholars
3. the credibility of our government

The Equity share is actually quite obvious to many as the reality is not the difference between the Bumis and non-Bumis but actually the huge discrepancy that has grown out of proportion between the rich Bumis and the poor Bumis. This is actually a new issue unlike the age old Bumis and non-Bumis debate which even without any studies, is quite narrow. I believe the figure of 45% vs 55%. The new issue is what they are probably trying to avoid as this would only make the already present wedge bigger. The poor Malays are being made to believe that the old issue has not been resolved as many of them barely see the reality from their kampungs and are too poor to venture into the bigger towns to see for themselves the truth. This will make them angry and irritated with the non-Bumis and not their high flying rich counterparts. Talk about unity — cakap tak serupa bikin — all the talk about unity when they the leaders even the previous government are actually the one responsible for making it worse. How come unity was so strong during the early years and crumbling now — well as how I see it actually the public by themselves can unite quite easily with a lot of tolerance, a trait so strong among Asians, but the rift are made by self centered individuals as modernisation and money with politics made them narrow and blind. Sadly, they manipulate the poor to attain their dreams.

The other issue I will discuss later…
