Short term memory

"RECOGNISE MALAY SUPREMACY"

We are back at that again arent we?

It is frustrating to know that Malaysians forget that we exists as a nation. Its once again about being Malay, Chinese, Indian, Sikh or "lain-lain".

Once again, its about recognising the Malay Supremacy. The Malay right to everything good and great. The Malay right to the NEP. The Malay birth right to all the privileges they have been receiving.

The Malay right.

The only rights I will recognise are the right to be Malaysian, the right to say I am Malaysian, without having to classify myself as being of a particular race in order to determine whether I am entitled to some things or not.

What is with the Malays? Why are they so dependent on the NEP? Have they not reached a point in their lives where they MUST say, "I have to stand up for myself?"

I just dont understand the mentality. You call for MALAY SUPREMACY. But you insist on the NEP. The NEP is at the core of it, to help those who cannot help themselves. The helpless ones, the ones who just cannot stand on their own two feet to make their own money without getting a nudge from the Government.On one hand you say "I AM GREAT AND SUPREME", on the other you say "HELP ME. I CANNOT DO THIS MYSELF. I NEED IT."

How are you supreme when you need handouts?

I thought the Opposition garnered a lot of votes because the Nation as a whole was tired with all the race politics. The analysts in the aftermath of the political "tsunami" said that Malaysians have risen!They are no longer tied down to the idea of race politics!They have voted for PKR eventhough there were calls by their leader Anwar to get rid of NEP. And the Malays have finally realised that its time to cast away the NEP idea.

Then barely two weeks later, we have protests when they is even a HINT of a talk of abolishing the NEP or not implementing it.

Talk about short term memory.
Talk about BS.

Change can NEVER come when people refuse to cast away old ideas and tradition. When people refuse to stand up for themselves but instead let someone else decide for them. When people are complacent and are adverse to having to work hard for something(when they never had to).

Change has to start from within us. Do not call for changes from the Government, the Opposition the Machinery of Administration when we ourselves are not ready to give up anything or give in to anything.

If you want something, sometimes, you have to give up everything.
