Malaysia is still the ‘Promised Land’ despite thousand emigrates?

Malaysia is still the ‘Promised Land’ despite thousand emigrates?

Malaysia is the Promised Land, even if a trifling minority of ingrates denounce their homeland as such a sinisterly bigoted abode that they clamour to emigrate to the United States, United Kingdom or Australia in a prissy huff over turgid contentions of political, social, economic and educational oppression.
Notice that shiny glow oozing from the many [...]

Perkasa please, not in the name of Prophet Mohammad

Perkasa please, not in the name of Prophet Mohammad

Lim Guan Eng has denied it. Perkasa–the so called Malay rights group–has accused him of lying. Perkasa labelled Lim “anti-Malay.” But the group itself is seen by many as “ultra Malay.”

CANBERRA: What’s happening with Malaysia? The country has long been viewed in Australia as not only an especially friendly Southeast Asian neighbour — the “recalcitrant” Mahathir Mohammad excepted, though he’s been retired six years — but also a model of middle-class success and tolerance in that region.

Understanding corruption, Islam and Malay’s psyche

Understanding corruption, Islam and Malay’s psyche

Let us take a local issue as an example. Recently it was widely reported in the press that young and underage Penan girls are being raped. No local Muslim NGOs came out in support of the plight of this poor community.
Where is the local chapter of ABIM or HIKMAH (BINA, as I remember fondly)? [...]

Why we must stop racist and racism politics in Malaysia

Why we must stop racist and racism politics in Malaysia

We all know that the politics of race has always been the bedrock of Malaysian political culture in the last six decades. The success of the early Alliance and then the Barisan Nasional coalitions comprising race-based parties was due in large part to the electorate’s acceptance that Malaysian power-sharing was based on the negotiation [...]
