As a Malaysian, he's spot on. Towards the end, he said there's a little revert of the affirmative action programme. This is an old interview, both Peter Robinson and Thomas sowell looked younger here. Today, things are still pretty much the same. Malaysia suffers brain drain with many migrating to Singapore and other Western countries. As Thomas pointed out in another interview, there will never be an end to the race based political affirmative action in Malaysia, and it comes with a price.
Tbh Malaysia doesnt care about mostly high academic people those who stay surely have the nationalism spirit in them.
While some left because they cant get any opportunity.
There has been a subtle attitude shift towards unity that's promising and a more worrying bent towards Islamic fundamentalism. 2 years of Covid quarantine highlighted an untouchable social class that's proof of an extreme wealth gap amongst the Malays. It also demonstrated that the people most fervent and willing to open their pantries and wallets are their Indian and Chinese neighbours.
It's tremendously hopeful when one sees/experience the level of generosity and cohesion that appears when the flood waters are high. We know and appreciate the people wading waist deep in the deluge while a heavenly group is on holiday.
The USA too. If the US insists on such programs then at least mostly take in immigrants from places that will not need to be subsidized for a lifetime at the expense of the gifted. It’s really a horrible business.
There is nothing wrong with being average, and average people in ability or motivation should accept a career that matches them.
@@mrbluebell2735 , There could be another trend, judging by the results of GE15.
Seems more Malays are going conservative, electing PN/PAS, especially in the northern Malayan states.
Some observers even suggest that its the new UNDI18 behind this trend.
Thus I don't hold much hope for Malaysians.
The Malaysians that live in Borneo are quite different from mainland Malaysians. Many of them are Christian, and open.
I’m a Malaysian myself and it’s incredible how he insightful he is in regards to this … brilliant man, no doubt.
Sowell has an incredibly wide-ranging knowledge and I can't fault him on almost all he says
@@charlytaylor1748 agreed .. I've been watching his other videos as well, but this one being about Malaysia,was really perceptive and accurate.
@@jsinghvishal He should have gone a lot further and made clear how the Malays have destroyed the country they claim is their's.
@@byteme9718 I'm just happy to listen to this man when he speaks. I womt ask for anymore once he's done.
So he speaks the truth.
No race mentioned and I'll tell it like it is.
Stupid people gets promoted and Smart people gets discriminated.

Trying to Equalize results at the end of the competition is the most destructive force for any society.
It is not equalized anything. Since the efforts, are not equalized or ability. Therefore to level the outcomes without effort, some have to be hurt, so that others gain without effort. That is unequal treatment, by any definition.
@@juniorleslie4804 Like Sowell said, it should be equality of opportunity, not outcome.
I ran factories in Malaysia for 4 years. I considered Malaysian university degrees presented by Malay job applicants as virtually useless.
My friend was a university lecturer who gave me some interesting background on why he left the teaching profession. He was informed that the two significantly different bell curves between the exam results of the Malays and the Chinese needed to be changed from two separate curves to one single curve. How would this be done? Increase the marks for the Malays regardless of whether they performed to standard or not. He left his job and went into the private sector.
The government system of incentives for Malays is a disaster. It breeds lazy & entitled people who simply cannot perform at a competent level. The government is the single largest employer of Malays, what the heck!
Don't get me wrong, Malays are lovely people but their government policies are doing them no favours.
I agree with most of your comments, except "Malays are lovely people." As a Westerner I found many Malays who were always nice to the prospect I may open my wallet. Otherwise, not so much. It took a little while for me to see the pervasive, day-to-day, personal hostility of Malays towards Chinese and Indians. And once I'd seen that, I couldn't stomach it for long. I packed up and moved out as quickly as I could.
@@rossmurray6849 dude, you do know that in Indonesia other races can't even practice their own culture until recently which is why they don't have that many friction. Different culture breeds conflict that's just human nature.
@@rossmurray6849 Ironic that u would say that. Because you went to a country that is far more untolerable to the Chinese. In every country in South East Asia that is the case. Malaysia is not an exception. Even in America Chinese are discriminated from top school. Plus, please don't flatter yourself. We aren't poor people. We don't need your money. Lol.
Well. If you can't even provide an opportunity for at least an interview and judged for yourself, obviously you are being racist. To immediately think a person is useless simply because of their skin color is racist especially since you are not even a Malaysian citizen, why bother with playing politics. It is like if u decided to invest in America. Because he/she is black you immediately will not hire him/her because they only get that degree thanx to Affirmative Actions. You are lucky that you opened a factory in Malaysia because you know damn well you will be sued millions in America if u post this comment. And sorry to say this out loud. The Malays aren't lazy people. Compared to the Chinese, yes we are lazy but who can work as hard as the Chinese? Even white people can't. The income differemce between Malays in Malaysia & Malays in Singapore is around 35%, the income difference between Whites in America and Chinese Americans are around the same. So go figure.
@@rossmurray6849 Hahaha bro you gonna move to a new country because in indonesia you cant even practice chinese culture
What started as a policy to create a huge middle-class society by uplifting the Malays who were economically left behind during the colonial years has now been abused as a cover to legitimise the corrupt practices of the connected few. TBH, there's an example in the US that is similar to the corruption I mentioned...
It’s typical for post colonial countries to leave a small elites running the country, they were left in power to protect the interests and estates of their former masters. It’s the typical neo-colonial system of sectarian politics and corrupt practices.
Ironically, the dreaded left wing socialists would have done a better job of balancing the wealth inequality of the different races than those affirmative actions.
It always seems to play out that way.
BEE in south Africa - Black Elite Enrichment.
As a Malay, I have witnessed how affirmative action has been weaponised by politicians to cement their unshakeable power. It's not surprising, given that Malays are the majority. Our separation from Singapore, contrary to popular belief, was not to dodge 'tension,' but rather, to afford comfort to Malay politicians without the need to contend with formidable Singaporean counterparts.
A prevalent sentiment supporting this policy is the notion that Malays were the rightful owners of the land, an idea that resonates strongly among the Malays. However, this assertion is fundamentally flawed. Malays are not the indigenous people of Malaysia. The Malay language itself acknowledges this; in Malay, the indigenous peoples are referred to as Orang Asli, or 'original people.'
“Some groups in some countries imagine themselves entitled to preferences and quotas just because they are indigenous ‘sons of the soil’, even when they are in fact not indigenous, as the Sinhalese in Sri Lanka and the Malays in Malaysia are not.”
- Thomas Sowell
Malay politicians often propagate the idea that the Chinese had an advantageous head start. However, historical evidence contradicts this claim. Chinese immigrants were brought to Malaysia in shackles as slaves, possessing nothing and forced to start from scratch.
Chinese only make up a small percentage of the population of Malaysia, but they are about twice as wealthy as Malaysians. Furthermore, Chinese have achieved this despite being the victims of institutional discrimination that is actually written into the Malaysian Constitution. The Malaysian government also has an affirmative action program comparable to what they have in America. But after a decade there has been no effect; Chinese still are about twice as wealthy. You cannot attribute this to under enforcement since Malays make up the majority of the population and the Chinese are only a minority.
Funny thing is that my liberal friends, who openly critique conservative policies like affirmative action, fervently advocate for it in the States. Then I realised both liberals and conservatives in Malaysia are just alike, the difference is which group they'd use the affirmative action for, is it for the Non-Malays or Malays? The former is for Diversity/Inclusivity, the latter is for supremacy.
So every time there’s an election, we’re voting which party can be the best parents to baby sit us.
Regrettably, I'm starting to believe that Malaysia might not be able to break free from this repetitive cycle. It seems as though the most pragmatic solution might be to leave Malaysia.
Growing up in a Pro-Malay family, listening to their political discussions often feel like running endlessly on a hamster wheel. Though I was a pro-Malay until high school (Basic youth people always want to rebel against conservatives) then I became pretty much pro-non-malay despite attending all Malay school. Most of my friends align themselves along stark lines - either Pro-Malay or Pro-Non-Malay.
COVID-19 provided a much-needed pause, compelling me to reevaluate my beliefs and perspective on the entire situation. It was through reading Thomas Sowell's work that I managed to liberate myself from this binary perspective.
I love Malaysia so much, the food, culture and all and very patriotic being a Malaysian. However, when it comes to survival and prosperity, Malaysia leaves much to be desired.
You claim to be a Malay and yet you get very basic facts wrong, for example "Malays make up the vast majority of the population and the Chinese are only a small minority" and "Chinese only make up five percent of the population of Malaysia". How do you explain that?

@@imanbinamran If those claims came from that book then they'e massively incorrect and if you're Malay, and witnessed the countries development as you claim, you would have known this. These are figures showing ethnic breakdown throughout Malaysia's history.

1980 Malay 55% Chinese 34% Combined 89%
2000 Malay 62% Chinese 27% Combined 89%
2020 Malay 57% Chinese 23% Combined 80%
Nowhere does this show the "Chinese are only a small minority" or "Chinese only make up five percent of the population. The video even begins with Sowell agreeing Chinese make up around 1/4 of the population.
@@byteme9718 did you read what you typed.
"Chinese are only a small minority"
"Chinese only make up five percent of the population of Malaysia"
Yes 5% is a small minority.
@@user-po1qt2dj1i I can see you skipped school. Why do you think I put those comments in quotation marks? It was because THEY WERE SOMEONE ELSE'S WORDS! I questioned them because they were WRONG and asked for an explanation, Apart from avoiding answering, the original poster edited his comment to remove the absurd claim of 5%. Look at one of my other replies where you'll find I gave a breakdown of census results that show the Chinese population has never been less than about 23%, something Sowell acknowledges himself in the video.
If you don't know anything about a subject than don't make a fool of yourself by commenting on it.

Similar thing happened in Jamaica with the Chinese, many of them left for Canada and the States after race riots.

Interesting
I worked in Kuala Lumpur from 2015 to 2018. I was really shocked to see these three ethnic groups trying to co-exists together. Politics and religion made it more difficult. Regarding businesses or wealthy people, that was more for Chinese or Indian, specially Chinese. Regarding government jobs, it was all for Malay.
And in those 3 years you were here…did you find out why such a thing happened?
The Chinese and Indians prefer to do business collaboration amongst themselves and hiring key positions are also amongst themselves. Low positions with low salaries were offered to the Malays or Bumis.
They enriched themselves but not willing to share with the rest of Malaysians.
As for governments jobs…Chinese and Indians are not very keen to work, especially Chinese because of low salaries and avoiding public service.
Look at job ads in net or newpapers…Chinese companies offer job vacancies with the caveat of ‘’ must be able speaking/writing in Mandarin’’…indirectly shushing away non Chinese. This is subtle discrimination done by private companies in Malaysia.

What he said is a good summary of the situation in Malaysia n very true.The kind of affirmative action started in the nineties under the then PM,Abdul Razak ,which has continued over the last two decades has done more damage than good to the country of Malaysia.Those from the Malay communities who actually benefitted from it were either children of the Malay political elites or those who had strong political links to UMNO,the Malay ruling party in the counlastOn top of that massive corruption n abuse of power by UMNO leaders made the situation even worst.
Incorrect... the affirnative action started in the 70s. I remember it happeningnin my secondary schooling days.
That strategies- is to results more peace for whole ethnic to live together...
@@shahrulismail6952, After 13 May 1969 the NEP was drawn up and implemented in 1970.
On paper the intentions were indeed noble. I agree we should tone down the disparity between the races etc3 but there were also many poor Chinese and Indian Malaysians. The NEP also did not really benefit the real indigenous people of the peninsula/east Malaysia.
The saddest part is that UMNO politicians (UMNO being the ruling party) used the NEP as a vehicle to enrich themselves and rob the country blind. Also a lot of the beneficiaries had close familial links to such politicians. The citizens need to put a halt to such blatant stealing.
@@shahrulismail6952 you mean so that certain leaders who stand to lose out most wont stir up sentinments?
Same situation in Indionesia but way worse, since chinese only about 5% of Indonesia population. Because the chinese population percentage in Malaysia are much more than in Indonesia, Malaysia GDP per capita is 3 times Indonesia
Everything he said is true 😞…
True story told to me by my Malaysian Chinese friend. He was working in Singapore and needed to renew his Malaysian passport at the Malaysian High Commission in Singapore. He saw a long snaking queue and asked the last person in the queue is this the queue for the passport renewal. The person said no, this is the queue for the renunciation of citizenship.
Even when I was in the university almost 30 years ago, the top students in our Singapore universities were dominated by the Malaysian Chinese, and I am guessing that 90% would have converted to become a Singaporean by now.
The brain drain is phenomenal - I am afraid it has passed the tipping point many years ago.
You only need to see the difference in standard of living between Singapore and Malaysia to see the effect of this. I've been to both countries. Singapore is modern, clean, high tech, safe and prosperous. Malaysia has done reasonably well in fairness, but it is still a corrupt developing country with significant poverty, it lacks in infrastructure in some areas and is very inefficient. While Malaysia was chasing these failed affirmative action policies, Singapore as a merit based society rose to become a first world country.

There are places in Malaysia that are quite developed, and though perhaps 'poorer' by macroeconomic indicators and IMF statistics, still enjoy a higher quality of life than many Singaporeans in their shoe-box HDBs, PAP-regimented rat-race life in a country the size of a postage stamp. SG is far from a bastion of civil liberties and free speech too. Given a choice, I'd first move to Penang than to SG.

Thanks for covering Malaysia. As a former Malaysian living in New Zealand, Sowell and his guest have given a good description of the ethnic politics in Malaysia. Just one recommendation, his pronunciation of Malays as “malaise” is incorrect.
Across the Tasman Sea in Australia there is a significant population of Malaysian Chinese and most of them tell the same story of discrimination and lack of opportunity in Malaysia. Malaysian Chinese have done exceptionally well in Australia, with many prominent business people and professionals. Even a few Australian celebrities and politicians are of Malaysian Chinese background, Australia's current Minister for Foreign Affairs, Penny Wong, was born in Malaysia.
@@blokeabouttown2490 Yet how many move back to China.? All infest white countries now
lol is it? 😉
'malaise' would be correct, he is pronouncing it as 'melees'
Most Americans can't pronounce foreign names for shit, of course besides the point. Fact is that Chinese and Indian immigrants in Malaysia AND Singapore are more prosperous than Malay. Of course, 2/3 of Singapore is made up of ethnic Chinese, Malaysia is about 2/3 of Malay.
I was pondering this issue and now I am 56 years old. Born one year earlier when this Apartheid policy was introduced in the 1969 and till date this Apartheid policy still enforced. It is already 53 years.....how long should we wait for the Malay to progress? 100 years..200 years or forever ..I am not surprised till I die this Apartheid still will continue. Is it fair for us to be clamped down by weight by who we are? I give an anolgy for you to understand better.
It is like Malaysia telling France and Argentina that they are too good in football and won many world cup. Malaysia too wants to win world cup. In order to win world cup, France and Argentina players need to clamp both their feet with 5 kg of weight. For Mbappe and Messi 10 kg on both their feet as they are too good. This measure will make the games be " Fair" policy. The Match begin and the true indeed Malaysia only make it to semifinals and Argentina and France still win. The clamping of weight still persists as Malaysia have yet win World Cup. Lapse 53 years and the clamping of weight still enforced to Argentina and France but Malaysian cheer as the policy did bring results...as Malaysia did make it to the semifinals. These is what actually happened in Malaysia so called Affirmative policy..
The irony is they lift up their hands and boast of achievement of making to the semifinals for so many years...
It is exactly how they boast of producing so many engineers and doctors but they don't tell you the part where they clamped the miniority chinese and Indian with weight. They lift up their hands and boast of their achievements...
Malays prefer to live off of charity and the hard work of others.
South Africa went down the drain because of affirmative action, now our education, public hospitals, electrical infrastructure, water sanitation, municipalities, postal, national air transport, mining, policing services and military services have literally fallen due to affirmative action.
The policies put in place where white owned businesses are forced to comply with BEE (black empowerment equality) are forced to hire undereducated black folk, even going so far as to demand that white owned businesses must have black partners, (25-50% ownership)
This led many white owned businesses to close down because they weren't going to comply with these communistic rules. So no tenders were granted because their BEE status was non-compliance.
So black owned businesses got tenders to fix and maintain the infrastructure, that didn't, and still hasn't gone well. Most of the funding given was pocketed, stolen, nepotism is rife, when a road must be repaired, instead of machinery designed for the job, they have 20 black members with spades, picks and wheelbarrows repairing roads.(only 5 would actually do the job) Totally inadequate.
All the trained white labourers, artisans, people that had pride in their community, country and state left for other countries because their services were shunned and denied job opportunities.
Now we have the black elect and their cronies pilfering the state coffers through nepotism, bribery, corruption and theft. It's a nation that has no pride in servicing the South African community but instead enrichment of their own family members.
In the beginning, around the year 2000' whites were threatened they will be chased into to ocean, they getting it right with the power of the pen. All the black affirmative action had literally seen millions of educated, hard working white folk leave their homeland they were born in.
Currently the South African population is dealing with power cuts because the power stations keep breaking down due to lack of maintenance, guess who stole all the funding to maintain that power stations.? Guess who is not competent in maintaining the infrastructure?
Affirmative action has never worked, never will.
You’re missing a small detail that’s quite important here. YOU are the outsider. YOU are the immigrant. YOU are not anywhere near the same thing as what’s going on here 😂 go back to ur country Dutch boy
Great analysis.

I watched a YT video a few years ago about China's involvement in developing Africa.
The Chinese manager of the development lamented to his African side-kick about how sad he felt when the African workers would blow their wages on good times before the next pay day.
How they didn't look after the rail infrastructures left by the British after independence.
Let it fall into ruins.
Sad really.
well it works for us. divison between races now are equaled, no longer bumiputeras hold sentiment against the non bumiputera, balance of power equaled and we actually didnt have riots like 13 may for a long time. the only reason why malaysia actually having brain drain issues is because the pay here actually bad compared to other countries. so why bother stay when other places pays you higher.
Malays in Malaysia get preferential treatment in everything. I met Malaysian ethnic Malay scholars while I was studying in a uk university in the 80s. They are fully sponsored and the results they get are average at best. If the best students from Malaysia were selected, the vast majority would be Chinese.
White people: Malay people should stop being racist to migrants!!
Also white people: Arabs and Hispanics migrants should stop stealing our jobs and go back to their country. Diversity and multiculturalism is only for inferior non-white not for Aryan master race like us!!!
And these Malay scholars tend to be outperforming all the white people in classes. My dad used to study in the UK back in the 70s. He and his Malay friends outperformed all the other white students. I used to study in Malaysia and America. Malay students are farrrrrr more hardworking than White Americans, and a lot more than black & latinos. All they care about is partying. They study maybe 3-4 days before their final exams. The lecturers literally spoon fed them so that they can at least pass their subject. Meanwhile while I was studying at UiTM. My lecturers doesn't give a sh*t. You are an adult, you go figure it yourself. We started studying 2-3 weeks before the final exams. Malays aren't lazy. We are lazy compared to the Chinese. We are not lazy compared to other races. Also Malays are not ambitious people
Lee Kuan Yew saw this problem when Singapore join with Malaysia back in the 1960s. LKY is for merit based policy and not based at race/religion based policy. LKY stress that any one can be a Malay if they convert into a Moslem. Where is the fairness then if an Indonesia or India come and reside in Malaysia, convert to Moslem and become a Malay and enjoy this Malay (Apartheid)!privileges. How about the miniorities Chinese and Indians that lived there for few decades or few centuries ago..
Malaysia kicked out Singapore because of LKY constant complaint. But it is a blessing in disguise. LKY was not wrong after all. God must have shown the world the comparison of a merit based country versus a race/religion based policy.

"Meanwhile, whenever there is a failure of economic, social and educational policies, you come back and say, oh, these wicked Chinese, Indian and others opposing Malay rights. They don't oppose Malay rights. They, the Malay, have the right as Malaysian citizens to go up to the level of training and education that the more competitive societies, the non-Malay society, has produced.

I have always wondered how a politician on a Malaysian salary become a multi-illionaire or even a billonaire.
I tend to be wary of what this man had to say, as his opponents had a habit of ending up in prison. It doesn't matter if one is right or wrong, if one needs a baseball bat to support his statements.
You can send Al Sharpton to school for 30 years, and, he still will not be another Albert Einstein.
The Malays are much more hardworking than Black Americans. I used to study in the US at UCLA, one of the top schools in the US. The students are lazy, even White students. Malay students are far more hardworking. The problem is nobody can compete with the Chinese. Have you heard about the Chinese Exclussion Act? White people were terrified of the Chinese because they were dominant in every single industry. Imagine having 22% of the population in America as Chinese like we have in Malaysia.

As a Malaysian myself, I can attest that the Affirmative Action in Malaysia is true. Sadly true. Especially the limited to no free speech part, no thanks to these jerkish politicians over there who keep fearmongering the poor shmucks into spliting the country apart.
Let's hope that Anwar Ibrahim's administration can actually change that.
No free speech is good. It is not good when people are refrain from saying anything negative about the government, but it is also not good where people are allowed to speak freely. Free speech causes division and chaos. Just look at the west right now. They are in a mess. And America who are supposedly free and very liberal.

The idea is that each captain gets to pick the player who he thinks has the highest skill level of the remaining pool, thereby disbursing the talent as evenly as possible between the two teams. Now imagine instead, that the captains must (by rule) choose the player who has a certain color skin, or a certain ethnicity, or a certain economic status first. Chances are, that by the time the 10 players are selected, the most talented players will be left out of the game. It still may be a "fair" competition, due to the lack of talent on both sides,, but there is no incentive for anyone with high level skills to show up next week. What this affirmative action system has done is to take an interesting, competitive game and make it obscure and undesirable. I recommend instead, a separate league for the untalented players, and a paycheck that matches their contribution.
Yes Sir, I call it negative parity, all groups become equally inferior, everyone loses. A more natural, merit based system is already available. It's called "life on earth" in which we either learn to compete, or play the fool.

@@timhallas4275 Natural selection does not and should not guide how we function as a community. The fact that we've come this far in terms of progress is because we have chosen to transcend the grasp of natural selection. Otherwise, you'd have a world where individuals with disability were left to cater for themselves, diseases ignored and every man fending for himself. Beware of using this natural phenomenon as a means of guiding your thoughts and actions.
I think it's more pertinent for us to recognise why there was a disparity between different players in terms of talent to begin with. The approach you've described is obviously going to cause problems, I agree. Perhaps because it's more of a top down analysis. However, don't you think it would be more effective if we considered a bottoms up approach?
For example, rather than focusing on forcing unskilled members to join teams, we consider the reasons as to why there is a disparity in skill to begin with.
1) It could be inherent to the player, i.e. they're just not good at basketball. In that case we can empower them to choose a different sport, niche etc.
2) it could be because of problems in the player's training. After all, every person has the capacity to learn if taught correctly. Maybe, they don't have a good coach, or a basket ball court in their neighbourhood. In that case we can help them by providing them with adequate training. Or in the long term, eradicate the source of disparity by providing a court etc.
The idea is, rather than forcing the captain's to chose players based on physical characteristics, we identify the disparities and target the root causes which contribute to them. We don't erase the competition, we make everyone capable of competing and ensure no one is unnecessarily advantaged.
Many Chinese Malaysians have left the country, moving to Singapore, U.K. Australia, New Zealand and the US. My wife moved from there because she was denied a place at University due to affirmative action. Her brother and sister moved as well.

Another example of this, but it is semi beneficial to the business. A family of English descent own a vast area of hill side which they bought when Britain controlled Malaysia which they mainly farm as a large tea plantation. Today half the business is controlled by members of the local ruling family and the other half by the descendants of the founder. The business is thriving employs many people including the descendants of Indian plantation workers who came from India when the plantation started. The estate is now well run and has an excellent panoramic tea house serving tradition English/ Malaysia style tea, scones and strawberry jam. They are also not fussy whether you put the cream on first or afterwards, unlike in Devon and Cornwall.

The story of affirmative action in Malaysia is analogous to the downward path of its national carrier MAS, which itself is a victim of govt's policy of appeasement towards just one ethnic group.
Proton was another example that only began ti succeed after the Chinese company Geely took over half the company. Prior to that it existed to provide inept and lazy Malays with jobs they neither deserved or were capable of. Perodua on the other had were managed by a combination of Chinese and Indian Malaysians and as a consequence produced better cars and were viable as a company from day one.

This is true all over southeast asia… chinese started out poorer then becomes the richest people in their countries.
So, the result is the smart go where they can succeed and the dumb and lazy remain the same.
Well that is quite a stretch to say the Malays are dumb and lazy. The Malays are not like Blacks in America. When I live in America, as a Malay raised in Malaysia. I thought I wasn't that hardworking, I mean I was professional. Get my job done on time and as quickly as possible, but compared to my working experience in Malaysia I am just average even compared to my Malay colleague, many of whom are willing to put more hours into the job compared to me. In America I was considered very hardworking. White people can be arrogant and laugh at others. But try living with 22% of the Chinese population in your country. You will look like a lazy dumb person. My Chinese friends back in high school study at least 4-5 hours per day, not including school time.

It’s more than economics discrimination. There is also religious discrimination. People of a certain religion are given preferential treatment, written in the laws. The Chinese and Indians are considered pendatang (people who are newly arrived) even though many of them are third, fourth or more generations in. However, newly arrived people from neighboring Indonesia who share the same culture and religion are not pendatang.
Malaysia divides its citizen 2 groups: 1) Bumiputra (2 Sanskrit origin words, bumi/land and putra/prince; it means prince of the land) and 2)non-Bumiputra. The Bumiputras are the Malays/Muslims. The Chinese and Indians are non-Bumiputra and don’t get many of the privileges that are accorded to the Bumiputra. Their children are the last to be given scholarships or places at local universities, if at all. The Bumiputras get discounts when they buy houses. Amazingly, someone told me, a non-Bumiputra can become a Bumiputra after converting to Islam through some sort of legal process.

South Africa followed the example of Malaysia in so many ways, except the AA in SA was for the majority, those disadvantaged by the apartheid government in the past. It has not worked here either. Instead, the AA and BBBEE (Broad based black economic empowerment) have benefited only a few, making the minority of the previously disadvantaged incredibly wealthy through often nefarious means, while the majority sank deeper into poverty and inequality.
The country as a whole is most certainly not better off because of AA and BBBEE. Quite sad really, because if not for greed and wide-scale fat cat corruption, it could have been a force for good.
AA is a mess in principle it always has negative consequences
Eskom (The only nuclear power plant in Africa. ) is a good example!
There is no correct way to do AA. It's designed to harm one group for the benefit of another. If it was designed to right a historical wrong, it would only punish those who committed that wrong - not literally an entire race of people.
@@societyofrobots they have AA in America including Canada, it's a numbers thing but who is the loser.

This problem arises when minorities come into a country where the inhabitants are not so driven for economic success, such as happened in Fiji. The Chinese are usually reasonably wealthy, very hard working and almost frenetic in acquiring economic superiority over others. (In Fiji it was the Indian immigrants). I see it now in Australia where the Asian people generally, are far more driven than the people of European ethnicity. The previous occupants, the Australian aboriginal people, have virtually no drive at all and this is exacerbated by massive government handouts that create a need to not work for success. (Perhaps too, the Malay people are similar in the casual nature to Fijians and Australian aboriginal). The European ethnics prefer the quick and lucrative mining employment (not all of course), whereas the Asian people aim for universities. I am speaking of course in general terms as there are always exceptions.
This is accurate on the majority of points. The frenetic accumulation of wealth arises from how disgraceful it is to be in poverty. Especially when they have the means to do something. That peculiar generational pathology arises from deep shame, economic failing equals moral weakness i.e. Dishonour to ancestors and family. It's not uncommon for this program to manifest as working themselves to death.

@@bunnystrasse pardon, I posted and missed the word preventing a bottle neck. Despite being a rather clannish society, there are taboos to marrying 1st or second cousins from both sides of a family. In the bad old days that taboo was enforced by tying the offenders in a bamboo basket with rocks and sinking them into a lake. Anyone with the same clan name is barred from marriage with each other.
I don't know the truth of how the taboo originated. My only conjecture is that being a genealogy obsessed and organised culture meant having accurate family records for very long spans of time. Their medical practitioners were sophisticated enough with observation to note deformities, loss of vitality and strange illness.
If it was important enough that inbreeding would negatively affect a Royal scion then a critical report would be made for the Emperor himself. Historically, a Chinese Emperor usually listens to competent advice and acts accordingly.
As an Indonesian. Since I was an elementary school student, I thought that Malaysia is a very close neghbour of our country, in fact they are just like one of some of the ethnics group in Indonesia headed by their king (just like larger ethnic in Indonesia before united after independence) in current times. But now I understand, despite some of its similarity, Malaysia is so different from Indonesia primarily based from the very tenets of each country.
The diverging point is during post-WW2. Indonesia gained its independence through blood. This trial of fire forms the foundation of its new internal order... Malaysia gained its independence through negotiation. We never have a such trial of fire hence we inherit the old internal order (along with its past baggage) and rebrand it to look like something new...
@Sustainable Renewable Integrated Assets SURIA Lots of Indonesians still look up to the Netherlands like as if they're kings. So not enough trial by blood obviously. Trial by Blood has to be the Koreans and Chinese fights against the Japanese or the Russians against the Germans.
. @@sustainablerenewableintegr8311 Yes. To give more understanding, It was actually revolutionary war (we called Perang Revolusi/ Masa Revolusi). It wasnt war only though, the leader also went to diplomacy strategy (seeing that Indonesian people were too at disadvantege in war), to the point that boiling youth and people at the time accused them too soft and driven by colonials. Indonesia undergone revolutionary road post WWII, in which the people and their revolution leader try to gain independence from colonials and also dethrone old feudals power (they deemed to be fail to protect the country and worse became ally with colonials). The revolution goal was a free country in form of Republic and people government. (Offcourse there were revolutioner and local factions that left dan struggle between themself to coupt power after independence. Godbless us to be here now). Mentally though, the revolution had begun since 1908 when youth leader across ethnic - islands sworn to form and became one nation. To put in short, when Malaysian says 'Daulat Tuanku!', the comparative but with very oppsite meaning Indonesian will says 'Kedaulatan Rakyat!'.
@@limitlesssky3050 Yes offcourse there was always some people who made living and cooperate with colonials, this as I said before include local ruler/ feuds (not all of them) at the time. Also some people at the lowest miserable class were too helpless and dont know anything to care/ do anything about. In fact, this lowest majority class of people was the major concern of the more educated people which lead to conclusion that Indonesia must start to stand on their own independent of colonials ruler (national awaken) and later on, the revolution idea was actually led by middle and upper class and Indonesian youth at the time. The general sentiment though, was that people and Indonesia must be free, thats why all the guerillas (hiden and disguised by common who sided with republican), and also some town/district were self burned by its own inhabitans in order the colonials not to return post WWII revolution war.

Would you want your life-saving heart surgery to be performed by the best in class or by the best, full stop?
In South Africa which has a similar AA system, the general population has to rely on AA qualified doctors, while the ruling black elite and politicians use private hospitals where the majority of the doctors are white. There used to be top class state hospitals in SA but not anymore. Remember, the first heart transplant was done in a South African state hospital by a state-employed surgeon, Dr Barnard. The same applies to lawyers too. If a black politician gets into legal trouble you can be 90% certain that he will employ a white lawyer and at the same time complain that black lawyers do not get enough work.

Yes it is true that the affirmative policies had driven the best brains out of Malaysia leaving behind mediocre brains behind. But I don't think it is possible to reverse this condition.

We have schools for only a particular religion. We have schools which cater for certain vernacular leanings. And we have National Type schools which futher divides students based on religion and race. What better formula do you need to keep the population divided ?

My uncle was passed up for promotion in favor of a much less qualified black, female employee. So he started working for an Asian firm to help develop their space program in the 90s. Now this Asian country have equalled or surpassed the space program in the US. The whole world saw the rise of this Asian country's space program by hiring the right applicants not skin color. Meanwhile , the US just retired the entire space program citing costs. Nope, it's brain drain.
Boeing and GM suffered similar scenarios. The difference is they recalled their retired engineers to "evaluate" the quality of their products after a series of accidents.
The US have chosen a path from which they can never dig itself out of ever again. Unfortunately it will only continue to spiral itself downward into the abysmal pit of no return.
Which country was it? China? Japan? India? I didn't know any Asian country hired from the west or that it was even allowed by the western governments. Props to your uncle.

The Malays have been destroyed by the colonialists. Melaka (Malaysia) was the world's leading trade center in the 15th century but was destroyed by the Portuguese, followed by the Dutch and the British for hundreds of years. The British then settled the Malays in the inland areas but opened up economic opportunities for the Chinese who were originally brought in by the British as ore mine porters. Malays did not get access to education, basic facilities in the hinterland for many years. Then when we want to reorganize our nation and demand our rights, you want to say it is not right?

This made me weep and my heart bleeds from affirmative policies unchanged.
Boohoo let me play the worlds smallest violin
It has no chance for affirmative action that is put into law for the benefits of the majority to be removed in a democratic country. Most affirmative action is for the protection of the minority at the disadvantage of the majority, not the other way. If majority cannot compete with minority, AA can never help. By the sheer size of having the majority, everything been equal, the majority would have a natural advantage. If it is not due to genetic reason, then it has to be because of habit and value. Malaysia AA is rewarding the uncompetitive habit and behaviour of the Bumi and punishing the good habit and behaviour. It has zero chance to be reversed.
If the Malay care to discover, they shall find that among the Chinese, there are many that are much poorer and could not compete with the average Malay. Some of these families shall be stuck in perpertual poverty, and some could break out through learned "good attributes".
BTW, Singapore used to give specifical benefits to the Malay too in education. It has shifted after convincing the Malay community that the amount would remain the same, but benefits shall go towards the weaker group among the Malay community. Self help for each racial community is formed, and the more successful is tasked to help the weaker one among their own community. Every community has its own problem.
There is no indication as to when this interview took place, and so I am not sure what "last year" refers to (regarding admission based on academic qualification) @4:45.
But even if Malaysia now tries to reverse its affirmative action (or Bumiputera policies) now, they would have had quite a lot of ":brain drain" in the last 50 years. It is not enough to just end the Bumiputera policy. How to bring back talent to Malaysia?
And even if the Malaysian govt tries to do the right thing, it will take time for people to trust that the govt is committed to this new path. The history of Malaysian politics (and policies) has been rife with policy reversals such that anything said on Monday may still be true on Friday, ONLY after reversals and reversals and reversals on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
The second concern is the stability of the Malaysian Govt. For 60+ years, UMNO and the Barisan Nasional Coalition was in charge and maintained the bumiputera and the Ketuanan Melayu policies. The 2018 GE threw out UMNO and BN... but the Pro-Malay parties managed to claw their way back in another coalition (Perikatan Nasional). Before the next GE returned a hung parliament, and required the king (YDPA) to appoint Anwar as PM of a "Unity Govt". This "Unity govt" is also a coalition govt and is fragile. Personally, I hope Anwar succeeds in making Malaysia reach its full potential. BUT... there are powerful forces arrayed against him. His reformist agenda will not sit well with the conservative (and racist?) powers that be. So the conservative, pro-Malay powers will attempt to trip him up at every turn. I do hope Anwar succeeds. It is time Malaysia reached its full potential. But he has his job cut out for him...
No point bringing back "ALL" talent. Instead its much cheaper and way better to just really invest in the talent that are staying in the country and not pay them meager wage. How is it possible that in some companies, a person with an engineering degree has a starting salary slightly above minimum wage.
Give the people in the country that are staying a chance to grow rather than do the impossible and try to poach back the 500k overseas Malaysian that have a different life now. For some highly specialized talent in certain industries that will take time to grow domestically, for sure we can poach, but not necessarily have to be Malaysian.
@@pendragonluver wrote: "No point bringing back "ALL" talent. " And I did not say that. I asked, "how to bring back talent to Malaysia?" Helmet Boy suggests investing "in the talent that are staying in the country and not pay them meager wage." That assumes that those that stayed are talented, and were simply waiting for their talents to be rewarded in Malaysia. These "talented" people that Helmet Boy assumes are faithfully hiding in Malaysia, just biding their time for when Malaysia will finally recognise their talent and reward them... truly talented people do not think like that nor act like that.
The point is Malaysia has had 60 years (?) or so of brain drain to reverse. To now grow what potential remain into "talents" will probably take more than 60 years to reverse. If it is even possible.
Helmet Boy's opinion is quite representative of a lot of Malaysians - inward-looking, xenophobic (or "nationalistic"), and populist. If Malaysia were 5 to 10 times larger (in size and population), yes, being inward-looking may be a viable strategy (or at least somewhat workable). But Malaysia is 33 million people with 60 years of brain drain, with the best and brightest deciding that their best lives lay elsewhere and have migrated, leaving the less than best and brightest eking out a living, because they do not have the talent (or the drive, or the wherewithal) to go elsewhere. Those who have remained in Malaysia were those that have benefited from the system and structures of the last 60 years, and have learned to leverage and exploit those systems and structures. These are the "talents" that have remained. The ones that Helmet Boy thinks can be invested in, to grow their "talents".
There will (always) be a faction in Malaysia that will turn inwards, and want to preserve/protect their heritage and shut out the world. And that is why Anwar's agenda to reform Malaysia may still be scuttled. Why Anwar's job is to drag Malaysia kicking and screaming into the globalised world. Against the wishes of those like Helmet Boy.

Singapore used to be part of Malaysia. The Chinese succeeded and formed their own country to flee the anti-Chinese discrimination.
Other way around, the Malays kicked most of the Chinese out telling them to go live on the island. Singapore is the only country to have gained independence reluctantly. Fast forward 57 years and Singapore is significantly more prosperous (GDP per capita 7 times higher than Malaysia).

the malays are not actually indigenous, they are from sumatra (one of the main island of indonesia). the indigenous people, refer to as the "Orang Asli" (human original) are only 0.6% of the population. the malays are the ruling class because they created the kingdoms and are the royals of the land. it kinda like anglosaxon in UK, they are not the indigenous culture, but the ruling culture. the malays of course never admit to it.
it is incorrect to suggest that the chinese know english and not malay language. in reality chinese in malaysia historically speak better malay than english due simply to exposure, this is so even during the british rule. the problem only came when the government try to teach math and science in malay when there isn't even educated academic to support the language, leading to a drop in quality for the sciences which the government had to rollback their policies on. but the malay language has always been more common in malaya since the founding of the malay kingdoms lead by Parameswara in the 14th century. chinese trader are far more familiar with malay then english language that came alot later.

They are indigenous. Unlike Chinese who have china and are loyal to china. Malays are loyal to Malaysia. They don't have another country.
I am unsure if every Malay living in the peninsular ever claim to be indigenous. If there is, it is incorrect. Now would the Kedah royal house that have existed since 1136 not be Malay ?
Malays are indigenous in the land. Before the colonial era came, malaysia and indonesia did not exist yet. These lands were once made up of several kingdoms that some goes from sumatra into west malaysia and some from johor into riau. So saying malays are not ingenious is absurd.
I lived in Malaysia as an expat and have seen this affirmative action first hand. If it weren't for the Chinese population that country would be broke. When I worked there I didn't see anywhere near enough incentives for Malays to show the same level of drive and entrepreneurship that the Chinese and Indian populations did - because they had everything essentially given to them. There was an awful lot of resentment and outright hostility to Chinese people there and I heard some appallingly racist things said in the office I worked in. All of them by Malays. That country could be stupendously rich and everyone could enjoy an excellent standard of living if they could wipe out these counterproductive policies.

Unfortunately, in 2024, Malaysia's "affirmative action" has not ended. Meritocracy on university admissions is still not a thing. The quota for Malays is set at 90% with the remaining left for everyone else. The country is in disarray and they don't even know it. Recently the Ministry of Education announced that all minorities with 10 A's will get a spot in a matriculation program but that the 90% quota for Malays will remain. Limited number of spots, 90% quota maintained, and every minority with a certain level will get a spot -- think about it. Apparently years of grade inflation in math classes is coming home to roost.
A degree from a Malaysian university is considered worthless.
This is why Malaysia is in the mid income stall. Most economies that engage in these affirmative action type of programs pay a price for it. In addition, the racial gimmicks in Malaysia have also given them disfunctional politics (minority governments and corruption by career politicians). When people vote based on race, it opens the door to corrupt career politicians (who don’t lose their seats when they get exposed). In contrast, Singapore is not plagued by such problems.

Why are u Singaporean so obsessed with insulting Malaysians? Can't u get a life? I honestly much prefer Malaysia because Singaporeans are robots. You also didn't know the real story why Chinese were kicked out. Would China or Taiwan love it if all of a sudden 30-40% of their populations are immigrants who can't even speak the local language? Even Singaporeans don't like immigrants. Yet we Malays are supposed to take it when millions of Chinese come to this country and change the culture, language, etc. Also Singapore independence & May 13th escalated because local Chinese started insulted Malays living in Kampung Bharu and started chanting "Orang Melayu pergi balik kampung" while they parade with their cars. That was the start of the racial flare ups in Malaysia. To make it seems like the Chinese are such poor innocent people while the Malays are the devil, is ignorant and you are not telling the whole story. The Chinese contributed to this flare ups just as much.
PS : Also. America did boycott all Chinese immigrants back in early 20th century. Why didn't anybody talk about this? Why is it only Malaysia that is the devil. America can block Chinese immigranta and decided their fate. Malays never got to decide, somebody else brought in millions of Chinese without our consent.

I took the all important MCE exam in the wrong year. It was I think the 3rd or 4th year of the affirmative policy. Got almost all A's among 13 students getting grade 1. Those days, few manage to get grade 1. Problem is, all the 13 1st graders were Chinese although the premier school students were 90% Malays. To cut the story short, none of the 13 got to go anywhere except enter form six. Many of our Malay classmates were sent to UK or US for further studies. Local universities dont accept us, 1st graders for diploma level courses as we would probably top the class snd spoil the graph. Consequently, Chinese 2nd graders managed to be selected for entry.
This is what affirmative action entails for those 'outside the action'
It achieves nothing because those sent overseas are unable to work to the standard they require. There are no free passes there.

I love the fact that the English used to call Malays as "Malaise", which is is quite an accurate description.
The affirmative action only benefited the top 1% of the Malaise elites, while the rest of the Malaise are still poor.

The affirmative action in Malaysia is similar to the one in South Africa, where it's the MAJORITY that gets the benefit. I doubt New Zealand and Australia can pass affirmative action laws that sounds reasonable on why they need more rights that the indigenous peoples.

When I was wasting my life in the Malay peninsula , someone told me that in 1969 , peninsular Malays were totally determined to slaughter every last Hindu and Chinese person on the peninsula . They heavily outnumbered the Hindus and Chinese there , of course . I was told that only one thing prevented that slaughter : phone calls from Beijing and New Delhi. Beijing and New Delhi told Kuala Lumpur that if the killings did not stop , naval flotillas would be sent and that China and India would invade Malaysia and kill all the peninsular Malays .
Today , to my knowledge , neither China nor India at that time had much in the way of naval forces . But I do believe the phone calls were made , and that the sentiment for genociding the peninsular Malays existed in Beijing and in New Delhi.
The UK always escapes any kind of blame for colonizing the peninsula , and importing the Chinese and Hindus .
It is both my observation and experience that non-peninsular Malays are of very different temperament and sentiments than peninsular Malays.
I also mention that Australian Prime Minister Abbott , in a nationally televised interview , stated that within 48 hours of the disappearance of MH 370 , Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak telephonically informed him that he , Razak , and other senior government ministers of Malaysia knew that pilot Shah , a cousin of the notorious subversionist Pinang Anwar , had committed "suicide and mass murder".
It is my experienced opinion that no peninsular Malay human being should ever be allowed to fly any type of aircraft , nor ever allowed to travel out of the peninsula. In other words , all peninsular Malays should be permanently confined to the Malay peninsula and never , never be allowed egress .
Peninsular Malays are very , very complicated to understand , very , very difficult to understand ,and very , very deceitful .
Humanity ignores my cautions and warnings about peninsular Malays at further risk of them exploiting future opportunities to murder oblivious civilians .
I would add that there were multiple warning signs about pilot Shah , and in my opinion , senior government ministers , including Najib Razak and Mahathir , just plainly allowed Shah's protest-mass murder to proceed according to some sort of terrorist conspiracy .
Epilog :
Supposedly Magellen was guided by a peninsular Malay . It is certainly reasonable to wonder if that peninsular Malay led Magellan and crew into the trap in the Philippines 🇵🇭 where they knew no one , spoke no local language , and were slaughtered by local tribals. I'm sure that peninsular Malay just sailed back home in a perau .
What's your opinion regarding Kermit the Frog being the second shooter on the grassy knoll?
@@CrawfordDSmith I'm not convinced, Kermit was green so would have blended with the grass and would have been easily missed and he too has access to advanced communications through his day job. What I am certain of is that you know next to nothing about Malaysia.
@@CrawfordDSmith Drugs create odd visions. Be careful you don't take too much, you make end up seeing frogs with rifles.
White colonizer and slaver whining about racism. The irony
@@hafizihilmibinabdulhalim1004 What's up, still not got a date with a white man on those gay dating sites? You seem obsessed with them.
The brilliant and talented people almost all migrated or work in Singapore. Singapore got the top people of Malaysia while Malaysian received Moslem asylum seekers like Rohinya Indonesia and India....
It is true everywhere I go companies still retained their old employees even way past retirement age...There is not many capable or talented people anymore in Malaysia.
White people: Malay people should stop being racist to migrants!!
Also white people: Arabs and Hispanics migrants should stop stealing our jobs and go back to their country. Diversity and multiculturalism is only for inferior non-white not for Aryan master race like us!!!

When more and more capable and hardworking Chinese and Indians leave, Vietnam will soon surpass Malaysia in GDP this year. Mark my word.

Many Indian and Chinese students came to New Zealand in the 70s to study at university, and they never went back, either stating here or going to Australia. Why would they go back ? But what did th3 country lose as a consequence?
The country lost its brightest minds. Malaysia is supposed to be on track to becoming a developed nation this decade but the estimate of when it will finally pass the high income threshold keeps being pushed back by the World Bank. The biggest reason of all is because of its brain drain, the educated continue to leave the country in droves. The World Bank even warned Malaysia that it risks not becoming a developed nation if it doesn't stop the rapid brain drain that is taking place in the country. Malaysia may end up middle income trapped if it doesn't stop the brain drain.

LKY : They are even prepared to shrink the talent pool just to make one race dominant.
So no different to how we live in the west now, we can't criticise most things not approved by our moderators.
Oh well, I had hopes
