Honor the Social Contract..or Lets Renegotiate It Altogether..

Honor the Social Contract..or Lets Renegotiate It Altogether..

1. Lately the non-Malays and non-Bumi are asking for the abolishment of special Malay privileges and sadly the parties that has been together with UMNO in the BN last time ie MCA, MIC Gerakan etc. also had joined the fray. Might as well they join the opposition and form a new government..
2. Among other things, they are asking for equal treatment for all Malaysian. My opinion..all those demand are breach of social contract agreed by our forefathers back before Merdeka. Special privilege for Malays are there for a reason..it was not picked up from the sky and just put there. It was put there to ensure fair distribution of economic pie in order to safeguard nation’s harmony, so that another May 13 will never occur again. It was a long thought idea by our former leaders.
3. Without the special privilege for Malays, the Malays will be further left behind economically and the fact they consist 60% of the population does not bode well for the social fabric. It’s like playing golf, a weak and inexperienced player need to be given handicap to make the game more fun, otherwise nobody want to play the game or worse still, destroy the game.
4. In return for that, Malays has agreed that non-Malays should be given the citizenship with full voting right. I live in the Gulf where foreigners outnumber locals and never in my wildest dream I ever think that foreigner will be given citizenship even after spending their whole life here. So, it is a big big big sacrifice by Malays..Remember Malaysia which consist of Malay Peninsual, Sabah and Sarawak use to have their own kingdom or government before the colonials came and non-malays were brought by those colonials, so it creates dilemma for both local and colonials when it was decided to grant independence.The compromise was the best deal for all parties involved and it was constitutionalised.
5. But now after 50 years of Merdeka and with citizenship safe in hand, the non-Malays are stirring up this Malay special privilege issue all over again. Why ?? Why are you questioning every single Malays rights ?? Why are you not honoring the word of your forefathers ? I don’t want to stir up racial issues but it’s like the case of a rabbit saving a trapped fox, once safe the fox eats the rabbit..
6. I totally agree that there are poor non-Malays and sure they deserve help, but the problem is why the non-Malays are using that to justify the abolishment of Malay rights..Yes, by all mean help the poor non-Malays but please don’t disturb Malay special rights.
7. I also agree that there is blatant abuse of Malay special right and DEB to favour their cronies and families. But the real problem here is the “blatant abuse”, not the Malay special right..Are we sure the blatant abuse will stop once Malays special right abolished..
8. If the non-Malays really want to abolish the Malays special rights, then let’s also abolish all the SRJK and use of Chines and Tamil as one of the official languages, abolish also all those Chinese and Tamil Astro channels, ban the requirement for Mandarin proficiency in recruitment, ban the thaipusam and so on. Let’s crate a true Bangsa Malaysia who can speak Bahasa Malaysia, not Bahasa. We need a standard face of Malaysia, not by ethnicity, but by language they speak. We can see majority of non-Malays cannot even speak Malays properly, so how do they call themselves Malaysian??
9. If the non-Malays want to relook into Malays special right, then I say..let’s renegotiate the ahole social contract all over again..See whether you re left with your underwear or your birthday suit..
