It is weird when good article like this comes with such bad comments. My mom is a chinese n my dad is a malay. So basically im a bumi. I don't feel bad abt our gov being bias as deepdown each of us hv that side of us inside. We tend to like pretty things, thats bias. We tend to appreciate our straight A's child more, that bias. Just take things positive ok. everyone is actually benefited from our gov. Even not as perfect s we want them to be, but way better than most country. be thankful. if ur a muslim, u know evrything is written by Allah carefully. Bread on the table, money in the bank. dont complaint too much.

i dont mind wut race my pm will be as long as he's a MUSLIM. My biggest concern is where my religion will stand in future!

Don't you think Malaysia is racist.

Look at the statistic below.

(1) Of the five major banks, only one 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.

And still lot more.

So Dewa and K-run.Both of u are truly racist from the bottom of your heart.

I can see it.

i am mixed so i am both malay and non-malay.

i found the discussion on malay's privilege is stupid and bias. just go to KL and you will find more than 80% of the business is owned by chinese.

just try to open a franchise or business and you will realize unnecessary obstacles are given to malay traders. sometime cantonese/mandarin is required! even though i speak both, i found highly discriminating to malay. so just shut up the rest of you

Yes Mr.Mogul, I really agree with you. Thanks your comment. I know most of the bumi who read at your statement will disagree with you, but that is the fact. The malay bumi is giving a lot of problem in our country, look at pusat serenti, penjara and all those giving for makan free. All this stuff give the malay bumi more manje with the goverment. But don't worry if the malay follow Islamic and Syariah rule as stated in Quran and Hadis all of them will safe. But how many of them?

Just think and muhasabah diri

I don't mind having a Chinese or Indian prime minister. If they support equal rights, I'll support them.

Most bumi's nowadays are not competitive (especially fresh graduates). Why? Because they take things for granted because the government spoon feed them. Non-Bumi's excel at every level because they know the current government is pro-Bumi.

I'm not saying that all Bumi's are lazy bums…but the fact is a LOT of them are.

Most crimes are committed by Bumi's.
Social problems are ruled by Bumi's.

….Need I say more??!

Giving equal rights to everyone, will force the bumi's to get off their ass and become more competitive.

In this modern world and age, race (kaum) should not be a priority.

I couldnt agree with u regarding bumiputra and non-bumi thingie..
It sounds unfair when the Government gives so many benefits to Bumiputra..But,dont you see that our benefits getting lesser and lesser each day?
Why should we give equal benefits to non-Bumi? Maybe you didnt think much of the future huh? Can you imagine when all the Bumi and non-Bumi get equal treatments? There might be someday when non-bumi become our Prime Minister and control our Government. Do you really think they will give Bumiputra equal treatment? In our dreams…
Im sorry, if you dont agree with me..i just thought that this could really happen..When its really happenning..i 'm not sure where we'll stand..

I totally agree with you. I'm a bumiputra and I say it's unfair to the rest of our non-bumi friends. They too worked hard and pay their taxes so why the biased treatment? The "Malay supremacy" is no longer relevant, but the government makes it such a taboo to even raise such matter.

But anyway, I'm intrigued on your effort with investment. In fact, I was frantically searching online for investments tips and guides when I plundered into this website of yours. I came to a conclusion that unit trusts are not necessarily the best options and it is wise to diversify your investments portfolio.

As of currently, I have placed my investments in the following:- ASB, Bank Rakyat's Islamic FD and CIMB Dali3 unit trust.

I can't control my thoughts of having "quick" money (don't we all?), but I had convince myself that the benefit will be there since I'm aiming for long term investment. Nevertheless, it's better than keeping money under the pillow!

I'm staying on the safe side of investing, so even though my returns are low with these options, but it will still benefit me over long period.
