rosham, agree. Bumiputra is probably the most openly visible and official form of racism in Asia. But hey, they will find out eventually that it just doesn’t work in the long run. Talent will leave if it feels that it is discriminated and all that will be left are the lazy cronies you just want to suck the country dry to fill their own pockets with little or no effort.

i like the points stated up there….trust mi, i have been here for afew yrs n i can say, if they only do away with the bumputri crap…..their vision 2020 will come as soon as the year 2012…
n its true…malaysia, u r NOT the middle east….no need for tht sharye law thingy….infact they should just get a neutral race to run the government coz chances of anatha race comming in is a chance to revenge unless the leader is truely looking into fixing this country.

Nona, for sure I can only give an outsider view on the subject. I believe, that sometimes it helps to step back a bit and look at the situation from a different perspective. That doesn’t mean of course, that this is the only way.

Ewww… your article sounds harsh for me, MALAYSIA wants to be a developed country differently that those in Europe or USA.

You must stay in Malaysia much longer before give your suggestions about how to make Malaysia a better country.

Races sentiments are very strong here…..

[...] riots, which happened many times before. Recently it looks like the country is shifting more in the direction of Malaysia, with efforts to put Sharia and other more extreme Islamic practices into place. The upside is that [...]

Malaysia is a country where the prime minister is also the finance minister as well as the minister for internal security act (ISA). What do you guys think about the same person holding 3 important position in the cabinet?

“Truly Asia” is one title Malaysia can lay claim to. It’s doing them good in a number of areas in their national profile like tourism and culture, but is doing lots of damage in their social order and political stability hope Malaysians can pull it through their tough times

Thanks for all the more in-depth additions!

Devari – there is an age-old feud between Malaysia and Indonesia. Due to many similarities in culture, race, language, region over time there are surely overlappings in culture and other topics. One can say the same things of Indonesia and other countries. Everyone would like to claim success and the good things, so there will be always disputes. I wouldn’t bet too much on rumors. What did you censor out there? What we know today is that the Bali bombers and master minds included both countries.

Malaysian tourism? hmmm not so ‘clean’. They claimed some Indonesian cultures to be theirs, some traditional dances from Java. Also they stole Indonesian song, claiming that the song is originally theirs.

what about rumors saying that the bali bombing was the creation of (censored) in order to destroy Bali tourism?
