liars in UMNO
Post on Sep.22, 2006
my post ‘khairy should learn from the pope‘ refers. it seems that there is this person who wrote to malaysiakini share the same view as me. excerpt from his letter:
And how dare the Umno Youth deputy leader blow so much hot air over racial matters when he has absolutely no facts to back him? Shouldn’t he now be man enough to apologise? If he doesn’t, it reflects very badly on him as a politician. And don’t give that crap about never apologising for race and religion. Even the Pope has to apologise.
he also refers to hishamuddin re: the ong tee keat case.
there is also a good write-up by DAP’s lim guan eng, entittled ‘pak lah, khairy and nazri, all a big lie’Â in malaysiakini. if you are not a subsriber of malaysiakini, go to beritamalaysia. excerpt:
That an Oxford graduate had to resort to the Big Lie and appeal to racial and base sentiments to save his political position shows that there is no hope for Umno to be multi-racial and multi-religious in taking a Malaysian approach.
If an Oxford graduate who has achieved success by the dint of his efforts has no confidence to tell the Malays that they can better themselves by being competitive, seeking equal opportunity and excellence to emulate his success, then what hope is there for creating the ‘Towering Malays’ favoured by his father-in-law.

The snowballing or multiplier effect is the neolithic arrogance that goes with the lies.

“towering” hahahaa….. get rid of the pettiness first!
lucia: the pettinness stunted them, that’s why they cannot towered up.

Towering Malays is illusionary as long as Oxfordians can’t compete with those chinamen who have less than 5 years education.
lucia: these oxfordians are spoon-fed, see, while the chinamen worked hard through blood, sweat and tears.

Halo Lucia,
Have a good time shooting the sitting ducks liars and racists ? The point is : most time it is easier to take a `moral’ position position against them. In truth: the politicians are not so `immoral’/`liars’/`racists’ as much as they are making political calculations that they gain more from those whom they appeal to than they lose from a few bloggers/civil society/public opinions. Specifically they count on votes from their UMNO Youth delegates, the rural and urban insecured coreligionists and `brothers in ethnic arms’. Perhaps it would be good to also hit back where the above targets may be more receptive. Reformasi and Generation M folks are already working on these targets!
lucia: good time? why, no, of course. don’t think i’m happy to ‘expose’ racism and liars here. the more posts i have on these matters, the more sad/worried i get as it shows where our country is heading.
i do agree with you re: the targets. glad to hear that reformasi and gen M are already working on them. hopefully they will be able to hit hard!

List of racial discriminations in Malaysia, practiced by government as well as government agencies. This list is an open secret. Best verified by government itself because it got the statistics.
This list is not in the order of importance, that means the first one on the list is not the most important and the last one on the list does not mean least important.
This list is a common knowledge to a lot of Malaysians, especially those non-malays (Chinese, Ibans, Kadazans, Orang Asli, Tamils, etc) who were being racially discriminated.
Figures in this list are estimates only and please take it as a guide only. Government of Malaysia has the most correct figures. Is government of Malaysia too ashamed to publish their racist acts by publishing racial statistics?
This list cover a period of about 49 years since independence (1957).
List of racial discriminations (Malaysia):
(1) Out of all the 5 major banks, only one bank is multi-racial, the rest are controlled by malays
(2) 99% of Petronas directors are malays
(3) 3% of Petronas employees are Chinese
(4) 99% of 2000 Petronas gasoline stations are owned by malays
(5) 100% all contractors working under Petronas projects must be bumis status
(6) 0% of non-malay staffs is legally required in malay companies. But there must be 30% malay staffs in Chinese companies

(8) 2% is the present Chinese staff in Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF), drop from 40% in 1960

(10) 7% is the percentage of Chinese government servants in the whole government (in 2004), drop from 30% in 1960
(11) 95% of government contracts are given to malays
(12) 100% all business licensees are controlled by malay government e.g. Approved permits, Taxi permits, etc
(13) 80% of the Chinese rice millers in Kedah had to be sold to malay controlled Bernas in 1980s. Otherwise, life is make difficult for Chinese rice millers
(14) 100 big companies set up, owned and managed by Chinese Malaysians were taken over by government, and later managed by malays since 1970s e.g. MISC, UMBC, UTC, etc
(15) At least 10 Chinese owned bus companies (throughout Malaysia, throughout 40 years) had to be sold to MARA or other malay transport companies due to rejection by malay authority to Chinese application for bus routes and rejection for their application for new buses
(16) 2 Chinese taxi drivers were barred from driving in Johor Larkin bus station. There are about 30 taxi drivers and 3 are Chinese in October 2004. Spoiling taxi club properties was the reason given
(17) 0 non-malays are allowed to get shop lots in the new Muar bus station (November 2004)
(18) 8000 billion ringgit is the total amount the government channeled to malay pockets through ASB, ASN, MARA, privatisation of government agencies, Tabung Haji etc, through NEP over 34 years period
(19) 48 Chinese primary schools closed down since 1968 – 2000
(20) 144 Indian primary schools closed down since 1968 – 2000
(21) 2637 malay primary schools built since 1968 – 2000
(22) 2.5% is government budget for Chinese primary schools. Indian schools got only 1%, malay schools got 96.5%
(23) While a Chinese parent with RM1000 salary (monthly) cannot get school-text-book-loan, a malay parent with RM2000 salary is eligible
(24) 10 all public universities vice chancellors are malays
(25) 5% – the government universities lecturers of non-malay origins had been reduced from about 70% in 1965 to only 5% in 2004
(26) Only 5% is given to non-malays for government scholarships over 40 years
(27) 0 Chinese or Indians were sent to Japan and Korea under “Look East Policy”
(28) 128 STPM Chinese top students could not get into the course that they aspired e.g. Medicine (in 2004)
(29) 10% place for non-bumi students for MARA science schools beginning from year 2003, but only 7% are filled. Before that it was 100% malays
(30) 50 cases whereby Chinese and Indian Malaysians, are beaten up in the National Service program in 2003
(31) 25% is Malaysian Chinese population in 2004, drop from 45% in 1957
(32) 7% is the present Malaysian Indians population (2004), a drop from 12% in 1957
(33) 2 million Chinese Malaysians had emigrated to overseas since 40 years ago
(34) 0.5 million Indian Malaysians had emigrated to overseas
(35) 3 million Indonesians had migrated into Malaysia and became Malaysian citizens with bumis status
(36) 600000 are the Chinese and Indian Malaysians with red IC and were rejected repeatedly when applying for citizenship for 40 years. Perhaps 60% of them had already passed away due to old age. This shows racism of how easily Indonesians got their citizenships compare with the Chinese and Indians

(40) 1 Dewan Gan Boon Leong (in Malacca) was altered to other name (e.g. Dewan Serbaguna or sort) when it was being officially used for a few days. Government try to shun Chinese names. This racism happened in around year 2000 or sort
(41) 0 churches/temples were built for each housing estate. But every housing estate got at least one mosque/surau built
(42) 3000 mosques/surau were built in all housing estates throughout Malaysia since 1970. No temples, no churches are required to be built in housing estates
(43) 1 Catholic church in Shah Alam took 20 years to apply to be constructed. But told by malay authority that it must look like a factory and not look like a church. Still not yet approved in 2004
(44) 1 publishing of Bible in Iban language banned (in 2002)
(45) 0 of the government TV stations (RTM1, RTM2, TV3) are directors of non-malay origins
(46) 30 government produced TV dramas and films always showed that the bad guys had Chinese face, and the good guys had malay face. You can check it out since 1970s. Recent years, this tendency becomes less
(47) 10 times, at least, malays (especially Umno) had threatened to massacre the Chinese Malaysians using May 13 since 1969
(48) 20 constituencies won by DAP would not get funds from the government to develop. Or these Chinese majority constituencies would be the last to be developed
(49) 100 constituencies (parliaments and states) had been racistly re-delineated so Chinese voters were diluted that Chinese candidates, particularly DAP candidates lost in election since 1970s
(50) Only 3 out of 12 human rights items are ratified by Malaysia government since 1960
(51) 0 – elimination of all forms of racial discrimination (UN Human Rights) is not ratified by Malaysia government since 1960s

(53) 50 cases each year whereby Chinese, especially Chinese youths being beaten up by malay youths in public places. We may check at police reports provided the police took the report, otherwise there will be no record
(54) 20 cases every year whereby Chinese drivers who accidentally knocked down malays were seriously assaulted or killed by malays
(55) 12% is what ASB/ASN got per annum while banks fixed deposit is only about 3.5% per annum
There are hundreds more racial discriminations in Malaysia to add to this list of “colossal” racism. It is hope that the victims of racism will write in to expose racism.
Malaysia government should publish statistics showing how much malays had benefited from the “special rights” of malays and at the same time tell the statistics of how much other minority races are being discriminated.
Hence, the responsibility lies in the Malaysia government itself to publish unadulterated statistics of racial discrimination.
If the Malaysia government hides the statistics above, then there must be some evil doings, immoral doings, shameful doings and sinful doings, like the Nazi, going on onto the non-malays of Malaysia.
Civilized nation, unlike evil Nazi, must publish statistics to show its treatment on its minority races. This is what Malaysia must publish……….
We are asking for the publication of the statistics showing how “implementation of special rights of malays” had inflicted colossal racial discrimination onto non-malays.
lucia: i came across this more than a month ago in some blogs/forums. thought of posting it in my blog but have second thoughts. well, now you had posted it.

And the one-way street thing continues, human book, thanks for refreshing our memory.

Lucia,
With regard to Human Book comment, I appreciate if I can get your input on the followings:
lucia: these list of racial discriminations which human book posted doesn’t comes from him/her. they are not something new. they had been flying around the net for a long time already.
What is the real concept of ‘justice’ percieved by non-bumis? Is it equal percentage in all government projects/housings/loans/education/etc by bumis and non-bumis? Equal share/distribution of the country wealth in all areas of Malaysia?
lucia: the word here should be more of ‘fairness’ than ‘justice’. yes non bumis just want fairness in awarding of gomen projects, distribution of loans and equal places in education and so on. as for the equal share of the country’s wealth… i don’t think non bumis are so worried over it. i mean this really depends on the individuals, not the race.
Is MCA/MIC/Gerakan/etc in the BN coalition working well to safeguard non-bumis interests in economics and other issues?
lucia: definetely not!
Is there a need to request/impose the same equal percentage in all companies/organizations controlled by non-bumis?
lucia: most definetely!
Does anybody know the percentage of the country wealth controlled by bumis and non-bumis in Malaysia?
lucia: i don’t know but there must be some satistics around somewhere. i have to say we have lots of wealthy non bumis indeed e.g. robert kuok, lim goh thong, t. anandan – but the argument could be that they become wealthy through thier own sweat and tears, unlike some bumis who become wealthy through the gomen’s handouts.
Appreciate your input in order to understand the racial issues and possible solutions.
lucia: i’m not the best person for you to ask to understand the racial issues as i’m no academic or professor but just a small fry public and one who is not so knowlegeable as the others small fries public!

Statistics can be deceiving if there is intent to obfuscate:

In terms of ethnic ownership of share capital, the Malay share has increased from 19.1% in 1985 to 20.6% in 1995 and the Chinese share from 33.4% in 1985 to 40.9% in 1995 (Table 6). However, the official figure for the 20.6% Malay share, announced by the state, is hotly disputed by the non-Malays. The crux of the dispute is over where the nominee companies’ share should be included. If the nominees’ share were included in the Malay portion, then the Malay share would have reached nearly 29% in 1995 meaning that Malay ownership has pretty much reached the 30%
target. u/q
Also its now well known that little emphasis is given to the fact that the largest proportion of non-bumi share of the economy in 1969 actually was controlled by foreigners.
The lies and ugly politics become legacy.
