Malaysia, A 1st World Standard Country by 2016?
This is a joke right?
One major problem for any real advancement toward any standard is
the controversial affirmative action programme that gives special
rights to the Malay community to "help them catch up with the other
races".
The policy, in place since 1970, has been reaffirmed in the
recently unveiled Ninth Malaysia Plan.
The policy had caused much resentment as it created a class of
ultra-wealthy Malays instead of helping the majority.
No body dare to question (any issues related to this policy) as
those who dare are threatened (to beheaded / to start a racial
riots / to be kick out of the country). The Malay owns the land
(Malaysia). The Malay Rights form the basis for wealth sharing
among the races.
Put simply, before you think of doing anything (doing business,
investment) in Malaysia, be prepared to forgone 30% of the capital
(immediately) as well as 30% of whatever you may earn in
future.
Since the Malays are so dependent on the handouts, they will never
"catch up with the other races" - and expect the affirmation action
policy to continue.
It is a joke to expect Malaysia to become a first world standard
country so long it does not address the affirmative action policy,
a race based policy, discrimination against other races, polarized
school system, racial disintegration, brain-drain of the non-Malay,
low tolerance against anything that are non Malay (Muslim)
traditions.
