Good morning!
Soon, we will have a new Goverment. Great news and welcome to a new dawn.
Really? For the non Bumi nothing will change. We will still gripe about the education system the NEP and the racial undertones.
For the poor Bumis they will be addicted to their handouts and subsidies.
The truth is nothing will change
Soon enough they are going to announce the new leader of the government and many will be unhappy - if not outright disgusted - by the choice.
People asked me who I expect and I said a right-wing Malay male from a racist party. Because that’s all I have ever known. Which individual fella it turns out to be is probably going to be a variation on the ‘ketuanan’ theme.
60 years of corruption has come home to roost. No political master has the strength to upset the Malays. And we have no principled leaders. None among the present politicians anyway. If you are expecting an Indian AG or a Chinese minister of finance, dream on.
We have institutional racism. 1.6 million Malay civil servants to carry out orders from above and sometimes a power on their own. The genie won’t go back in the bottle. Addiction to inducements and handout to crippled minds is hard to undo. Nay, impossible.
The only thing this nation will give you is the free air to breath and a safe ticket to stay if you remain silent. Or else the thugs will be let loose. Be self reliant and if you get a chance good citizens, including bumis, leave. There are better options out there. If you cannot leave, be frugal and self sufficent. Seek a profession or a trade. There will be no safety net for us.
