MCA ... revamp economic policies

KUALA LUMPUR: The Government has been urged to expedite judicial reform and set up an independent Judicial Commission to restore the confidence of the people in the system.
The MCA 55th annual general assembly unanimously passed the resolution to urge the Government to review the Internal Security Act and establish a check and balance system to ensure that it strictly applies to terrorism and cases with subversive elements.
The general assembly also urged the Government to urgently review and revamp all major macro-economic policies to encourage rapid economic expansion and improve Malaysia's global competitiveness. .. MORE

Malay rights – a mystical myth? (Part II).

My letter Malay rights – a mystical myth? (Malaysiakini)had been ‘borrowed’ by many blogs which posted it on their own site as an interesting topic for sharing. I am touched that my letter-writing debut has been well-received with many positive comments although I have seen some negative comments posted too. Well, I would like to think that even I should allow such democracy! As happy as I am about this writing debut, it also worries me that some quarters are using it to prove their own unheard point. And considering that a Malay man wrote this article, it became a much talked about piece. This is why I feel the need to write this second letter because I may have been misunderstood in some ways in the earlier one. Perhaps my point was not very clear. Perhaps my sarcasm was out of context and perhaps I was not compassionate enough. I am not an anti-Malay or whatever privileges that the Malays are entitled to. I just feel that the Malays are ‘running on the spot’ in the endeavor of being privileged. What are we fighting for when we say Malay rights? What rights do we want? Do we even know what we want? ..

Malay rights - a mystical myth?

The Malays are ‘technically’ in power governing the country but it also this same controlling group that demands the right to correct economic imbalances and disparities for its own race.
What does this say about the ‘majority governing’ Malay race for the last 50 years?
I dare say that most Malaysians (regardless of race) below the age of 40 would like to see all opportunities be spread amongst those who deserve it on meritocracy.
We do not need the keris anymore to tell others to be careful of what they say and do because in the survival of the fittest, the keris is of very little relevance! More
