we want to be bumiputera so that we can enjoy the privileges

well, well, well! i am astounded! no, i am not astounded! i am speechless! no, no, i can’t be speechless since i’m here to say something about it. what? this:

Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Syed Ibrahim said bumiputra status was important as it would enable Indian Muslims to enjoy privileges in education, socio-economic welfare, employment and such.
from the star.

syed ibrahim is the acting president of the malaysian indian muslim congress (KIMMA), and he was requesting the government to award bumiputera status to them indian muslim.

you see the reasons? “to enjoy privileges in education, soico-economic welfare, employment and such.” oh boy! what a reason! in other words to be entittled to be under NEP (new economic policy). oh but of course we already know bumiputera are entittled to NEP… something which many of us said should be done away with but one big minister waved the keris around, shouting NEP is here to stay, and one also gave us non muslim a warning not to question NEP.

so now, the indian muslim also want to be spoon feed? should chinese convert to muslim and then ask for special privileges too?
