How much is enough?

The Malays are pathetic. They think they can be like the Japanese. If the Japanese can rebuild Hiroshima from ashes without the ability to speak in English, the Malays think they can do the same.

But they forgot that the Japanese would commit harakiri if they feel they're the source of failure of a certain effort. Even that, they would give their all to make their effort a success.

The Malays are always complaining. They objected when English was chosen to be the second language after Bahasa Kebangsaan (back in the 1960s). But they didn't realise, that the Government of the day then was only thinking of the interest of the Malays.


No academic books were written in Malays. There were no or not enough Malay academicians. Then, English was a tool to acquire more knowledge. The Malays were expected to master English so that they can acquire the necessary knowledge to then educate they're own people. When the Malays are knowledgable enough, there will be a day where R&D, journals, case studies and textbooks be written in Malay.


Today, the Malays are still making a big fuss about English language being used in schools. When Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamed directed that maths and science to be taught in English, he was thinking of the Malays. A lot of Malay students rejected offers to study abroad although they'll be financed by the Government. This is because they're weak in English.


And they still think they can be like the Japanese.


In Japan, there's no such thing as bumiputra privilage. But they presevere. They don't have to pay Ford to transfer its technology to them. The Japs developed their own car. First they copy (yes, Japanese used to be copycat), and improvised them. If continental cars are petrol guzzlers, Japs' car are gas-saving. That's their selling point.

Now, I'm not about to bash Proton. The point I want to make here is that the Malays lack of business mentality. They prefer to be spoon fed. No matter how much handouts you give to the Malays, it'll never be enough.

And because of them, our cost of living is high. Too many "atas angin".
