Start by reading THIS article written by an ex-US ambassador Mr John Malott, its regarding “The Price of Malaysia’s Racism”.
Today THIS news came out about how our DPM dismissed what Mr Malott has said. Why? quote:
“His comments don’t carry any weight because he holds no position now” – Deputy Prime Minster Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
Just because somebody isn’t in any fancy ass position doesn’t make them any less credible. People come all the way from a developed nation like US and lived here for several years, made an observation and took the effort to write an article and yet our DPM just brushes aside criticisms. To a foreigner who read this news, he/she would probably think Malaysia is some back-water country that still has that third-world mentality like a bunch of tribesmen throwing stick and stones at the sight of foreigners.
Even though I’m not entirely surprised by their response but still it’s so frustrating how sometimes the whole institution that manages your country is just so hypocritical, preaching about unity and taking such efforts to surpress anything that goes against that artificial unity.
So what about us normal Malaysians? Technically we don’t have any fancy positions either, I guess our opinions don’t matter also. Well actually that’s already the case isn’t it ?
Someday, I hope I’m going to be one of the 500,000 Malaysians that leave Malaysia for good, why stay at a country when you’re treated like a second class citizen when we deserve better than that?
