Thank you so much and I’m so glad that this is informative and meaningful to you! I am really just seeking out knowledge about things I find interesting and meaningful, and I may make a video related to Singapore soon so please look out for that! So glad you found value in this! Thank you for watching and it’s an honor to make this! 🤩
As an East Malaysian citizen, it's rather peaceful here if you ignore all on the ongoing crisis happening. Even my own race has beef towards each other, talk about peak modern society.
As an SMK school teacher, I notice that students tend to mingle within their own racial groups, even as early as Form 1. Honestly, I cannot see any unity among the three main races in West Malaysia. Even we teachers also mingle with our own races 😂
Well, my question to you is… What can you do about it? People naturally gravitate towards people who are similar to them. It's not necessarily an intentional thing or the result of racism, but can be a subconscious thing; helping to create diversity is something that requires an active effort, one for which, if it is not you who does something, then nobody in this country will. So now is a good time to start leading the agenda! It doesn't need to be particularly difficult either. Just try one day grouping up students who normally don't sit together with one another. Create a lesson that is good for participation and interaction. Do that one single exercise where that one Chinese girl pairs up with a Malay boy, or a Malay girl with an Indian boy. As for your colleagues? Take a Malay colleague out for lunch one day. Try in the course of the next three months to organize a small thing. Share this channel and this comment with someone you would have never talked to normally and call it an exercise in confidence building! These seem small, but really it’s all of these small things on a large scale that you choose to do that make a difference in your own life; we cannot control how people behave even as we may shape or influence it, but your own life is what matters, and if by chance people were to emulate you and imitate your behavior on a massive scale throughout this country, then there's no question that the country would have changed. Really though, think about it. If it's not you who will lead this change, then who will? People often think about the behaviour of teachers and how we should train better teachers, but just think about what's happening here - there is doubt, questioning, and, we hope not, a sense that things need not change. To that I would say it is normal to feel uncertain or hopeless, but also, you could imagine having infinitely better educational qualifications or otherwise or the government investing an extra RM50,000 into your teacher training, and it still wouldn't matter if you didn't take the small initiative to make these things happen in creating small moments of goodwill. If everyone thought that the situation in SMKs was irreconcilable, then that is what it will become. I had a great experience at SMK with people of different races and with teachers who consciously did small things that brought us together, and I hope you will do the same in your small ways. Like the great teachers I had, you have an important responsibility and a role of leadership in this country. I look forward to watching you carry out your trust just a little better than you could before. Good luck!
I realise a lot of racial and religious issues are a battleground between the Malays and Chinese. I wonder where are the Indians and other races. Where do they usually stand on racial and religious issues? I don't seem to hear their voices at all. Maybe you can help analyse it.
@@VictorTan Lol you clearly never met that many Indians in your life. When they are racist, they can be really racist and nasty towards others, they even hate each other. Why do you think some of them never join MIC but DAP or other political parties. Consider yourself very fortunate.
Actually all races also got racists, and not all of your 50% are racist. It’s good to look more deeply and not demonize people - we need the people to find the enemies within and to identify, report, and isolate them to make sure they cannot control the rest. 😊
@VictorTan Well,thats true but the racism n misogyny in Msia is at another level. One half look at the other half as Unclean , Infidels,and enemies of their Faith.😆
Nobody’s a bangsa asing though - they are constitutionally Malaysian. Would you like to differ on this point and present yourself as a bigot? Careful on your wording and note that I can casually remove you from the channel at any moment, by the way, and that the game plan in the eventuality of things is to encourage all of Malaysia to oppress anyone who attempts to question the loyalty of the other races to Malaysia 😊
This is an interesting question. To it, I will say, even if what Malaysia has does not appear to be meritocracy in the strictest sense of the word, is it not true that we are still trying to implement a form of meritocracy in the political world? Even if there is a racial skew in Malaysia in terms of the distribution of political power, I don't think anybody in their right minds would want to choose people who lack qualifications or who are dumb to lead our country and indeed, we don't. We pick the Anwar Ibrahims and the Muhyiddins and the Hadi Awangs because whatever their personal, academic, financial or status qualifications, they have been the best in one specific way - The skill of polemics and appealing to the population at large as well as to their respective parties. Also, it’s not just that - these people have had significant personal achievements in the past as well, and whether they measure up to others of other races in the world or not, in objective terms, it’s pretty obvious that nobody would take a beggar or a bankrupt to lead the country because we are even within the constraints of Race, you can still optimize to find the best and nobody has a reason to choose those of lacking talent. Even if you disagree with this, consider that the word meritocracy comes from the idea of what is good, which is what the word merit entails, in turn suggesting the ideal that only the best should rule, when you combine it with the word kratos, which forms meritocracy. Note however that the word ‘good’ is a word that is ambiguous, because what is good depends on what you value. If you call succeeding in a capitalist environment and outdoing other countries in terms of governance what you deem as good, then indeed, what Malaysia has is not a meritocracy. Instead, it is a system of political patronage where flattery and rubbing shoes with the right people brings you to the top more often than not once you have a minimum level of ability. However, if you define meritocracy as a situation where good merely refers to the ability to influence people, which in turn is a function both of a person's oratory skills, personality and race, is deemed as the highest good, then in that twisted sense, then Malaysia is indeed a meritocracy, and we have nothing to change in the collective regardless of my individual opinion. Would I personally prefer a society where we view what is good as the promotion of standards of living, and also harmony across races, and where the strongest and most capable of our society should take office or positions of power in both the capitalist and political worlds of this country and for those who can promote the maximum good for the maximum number with a precondition that this MUST come with improving the standards of living of the country and not by manipulating them to believe that politicians are the stewards of God or that the rights of other communities should be sidelined simply to serve their ideals? Absolutely. If that’s meritocracy, I would take that in a heartbeat. Thank you.
@@naleenidas7734 Oh that’s all good! I’m not here to teach anyone English - just to do a bit of social activism and hopefully convince people to think a bit differently 😂 Thanks for stopping by!
For politicians is like striking a lottery when they become a racism hero among their own race and religion cards are use to secure vote for their own religion followers, so Malaysians don't cast their vote they vote their cast 😅😅😅 live with it
We cannot seperate the facts from present way of lifes that has been shaping Malaysia. It is important for people not to be ignorant and keeping the feet to the ground as a reminder of ownselves origin. We must put ourselves at the right place and right boxes. With the right intention of not altering the from square boxes to hexagon boxes.
Well, the Singaporean strategy of arresting and creating extreme fear for those who attempt to even comment in such a way that creates racial harmony sounds fun 😊
I have been saying Malaysia is an authoritarian communal + collectives society(each according to their tribes). Illiberal Ultra-Nationalism among Malay & Chinese play a role in this environment. Call me a Neo-colonialist, I would prefer 🇬🇧 despite the wrong doing of the past. Unfortunately the British have to leave as result of not having the financial means to manage their colonies and protectorate after WWII. Illiberal Malaysia is not the only nation that suffer from the plague of identity politics. Liberal Democracies like US, Europe & Canada due to mass migration have to bear with socio-political conflict between Western Far-Right Ultranationalists & Global South(who can’t assimilate). This vicious cycle have made me worried about the state of “Liberal Democracies” where Russia and China are exploiting division as a catalyst to sow chaos.
@ I guess you haven’t seen neof’scist revanchist project from China & Russia that seek to remake the world order into more state of anarchy and conflict. Illiberal Ultranationalism breed more conflicts, not peace/stability reality despite dictator dream of through their tyranny. You should ask this question; if China & Russia successfully dismantled the US led Liberal International order how long do you think the marriage of convenience between China & Russia last?
@@haziqaiman6184 “AS IF” the Ottoman Empire and their Arab subject have been treating Jews as equal like the “Damascus Affair” and other pogroms that happened throughout the Arab world while you live in your “Once upon the time Jews and Arab live in peace bubble”. Lol
@@ZenWaveFunction lol Jews live in peace in Muslim land until they get radicalised by atheist Jews when they are not allowed to create a state by their own faith.
Thanks for the question. I don't have a comprehensive answer to this yet, but I can cite what worked in Singapore to start off and then make my suggestions. In Singapore, HDBs have ethnic composition requirements and regardless of where you are within the HDB allocations, your experience of Singapore as a nation will be the same because the ethnic proportions are such that you will always have Malay neighbours, Chinese neighbours, or Indian neighbours. This is possible because 80% of Singapore is public housing, but it is not possible in Malaysia. But it showcases that having people live together and do so in a systematic way makes it so that harmony is more likely to result. It also helps if you have explicit laws against incitement of racial tensions, which Singapore also has. Although in Malaysia, there are some parties that try to stop that from happening because they maintain that race is something that they need to discuss all the time. In Malaysia, I think that different aspects of the Singapore situation can be integrated. Forced integration isn't something that we can easily do because of Malaysia's size and also the actual distribution of people geographically across urban centres as well as rural villages, but certainly an element that can be put into place is requiring people to visit villages or living spaces filled with people who are ethnically different from them, particularly if they are in schools of certain ethnic compositions. And another thing is that people should be exposed to integration, which can take place in schools via say, exercises where we ensure that SMKs are prioritized over time and are idealized, and where in SMKs, students of different ethnic backgrounds are intentionally paired together through say, class seating exercises and grouping, which can be facilitated by teachers, and where in vernacular schools, it is mandatory to visit neighborhoods that are of different ethnic compositions alongside guidance and structured interactions alongside collaborative activities - we can even perform partnership projects across different schools or otherwise, though the logistics there have to be thought about carefully. If technology permits, we might even consider say, a Malay speaking exam where students have to perform recorded speaking sessions with one another and start practicing with each other, as one of many ways to facilitate social change on the individual level or otherwise. More to think of for later!
Yes, what happened in Malaysia and what we can do is definitely something that other nations is watching. We have not been handling it well, but we also have a unique opportunity therefore to deal with it though tbh it could go either way 🙏
Pada aku yang main card perkauman ni memang org politik saja. Dia kemudian tanamkan pada org org dia dan itu yg membangkitkan lagi. Kerosakan dasar pecah perintah oleh British akibatkan perkara skrg iaitu perjudis antara kaum dan sekaligus agama. Apabila adanya layanan lebih pada kaum lain dilihat sbg ketidakadilan oleh kaum lain atas sologan adil dan saksama. Sedangkan adil itu bukanlah saksama. Analogi yg diberi : duit belanja budak sekolah dgn budak university tak sama. Jadi adakah tidak adil? Sedangkan itu lah definisi adil yang betul. Jadi fikirkan lah bab tu, aku malas nak ulas panjang. Jadi perkara yg harus dibaiki oleh rakyat adalah toleransi dan common sense. Aku kat sini bukan nak rasis, tapi pada hemat aku melayu adalah yg paling tinggi toleransi. Buktinya jelas. Ada melayu yg pro kaum dan ada juga yg nak ADIL utk semua. Skrg tengok saja berapa byk parti melayu yg pecah. Itu situasi skrg. Kalau zaman dulu, dari sejarah pon nmpk toleransi org melayu mcm mana. Jadi sama² lah kita baiki toleransi sesama kita. Aku jenis tak kisah kau bangsa apa selagi tau hormat sesama kita dan patriotik. Jadi skrg ni aku bangkitkan pula isu patriotik. Di sini aku agak kurang puas dgn kaum lain kerana pada aku korg dlm hal ini lebih kurg berbanding generasi korg yg awal² merdeka dahulu. dan aku kecewa dgn generasi baru termasuk org melayu sebab patriotik tu dah mcm takda. Jadi sama juga baiki benda ni, pasti situasi skrg elok juga Ada byk lagi. Tapi aku rasa cukup lah ini dahulu
Terima kasih untuk ulasan panjang yang telah anda tulis pada awal pagi ini. Saya memang gembira bahawa anda terasa begitu tersinggung dengan konten saya sehingga sanggup tulis komen yang panjang ini, dan saya akan berbalas dengan sebaik upaya. Pertamanya, saya rasa bahawa definisi keadilan dan kesaksamaan itu belum lagi menjadi tular dalam masyarakat Malaysia dan secara amnya, hal ini tidak didebat di Malaysia atas alasan 3R. Saya rasa bahawa hal ini demikian kerana secara ketaranya, Malaysia masih belum berada dalam kalangan negara berpendapatan tinggi dan secara amnya, rakyat tidak mempunyai pendapatan yang cukup tinggi sehingga mana mereka boleh terima bahawa kepentingan mereka itu secara sejagat boleh ataupun harus digadaikan, maka perlulah kita sebagai sebuah negara terus mengamalkan dasar dasar yang telah diperkenalkan oleh tokoh negara zaman silam. Namun begitu, saya berasa bahawa hal ini menyerupai amalan meletakkan troli di depan kuda yang mengelirukan susur galur yang sebetulnya dengan anggapan palsu. Sebaiknya, negara Malaysia harus mengamalkan polisi yang lebih adil supaya semangat perpaduan ataupun nasionalis boleh dipupuk dalam kalangan masyarakat agar boleh dihasilkan bersama. Dalam keadaan dan dunia terkini, insentif yang wujud untuk kaum-kaum lain untuk menaruh seluruh upaya untuk menjayakan Malaysia dan juga untuk bukan sahaja membawa masuk syarikat teknologi melahan menjadi buruh teknologi tinggi itu masih berkurangan dalam kalangan masyarakat Malaysia kerana sekiranya terdapatnya buruk sangka dalam seseorang itu, maka pilihan individunya yang dilaksanakan secara bebas dalam pasaran dunia itu akan mengakibatkan dia itu beredar dari negara ini ke negara lain asalkan pendapatan lebih tinggi ataupun sebagainya. Ini sesuatu yang amat biasa. Dalam kes Malaysia, tetapi dalam kes Malaysia banyak orang yang berpendapat bahawa beredar dari negara ini sesuatu yang diperlukan dan wajib kerana mereka tak ingin menjadi rakyat kelas kedua mengikut estimasi mereka itu sama ada anggapan tersebut betul ataupun tidak akibat dasar-dasar yang kononnya bertujuan untuk menghasilkan kesaksamaan ataupun keadilan yang sebenarnya berciri-ciri kefiraunan.
Untuk membalas bahagian kedua komen anda berkenaan dengan semangat patriotik, seperti yang diperkenalkan oleh Tokoh Renan, sebuah negara ataupun sebuah nation adalah sebuah entiti di mana rakyat teringin hidup bersama. Rakyat sanggup berkorban demi negara, rakyat sanggup melupakan peristiwa zaman silam, ataupun mengampunkan tetapi tidak melupakan, dan rakyat mempunyai peringatan kolektif (collective memory) yang mampu mengacu visi kenegaraan itu dalam konteks moden, dalam mana kita semua mempunyai pilihan. Dasar yang dipaparkan ataupun dipamerkan sebagai dasar kesaksamaan tetapi yang dilihat rakyat jelata sebagai sesuatu yang tidak adil, pada dasarnya, dan dengan kebarangkalian yang agak tinggi, akan menimbulkan perasaan buruk sangka yang berterusan. Perasaan ini akan berterusan sehinggalah terdapat pengubahan dalam situasi rakyat jelata yang mampu menjadikan semua rakyat Malaysia berasa bahawa mereka mempunyai hak yang sama, dan juga keinginan untuk menjadikan Malaysia itu negara yang sememangnya wajib untuk dijayakan sehingga mereka itu mungkin sanggup menggadaikan kepentingan peribadi mereka itu dengan kebarangkalian yang lebih tinggi, syarikat-syarikat dari luar negara pula boleh melihat bahawa Malaysia itu sebuah negara yang sememangnya adil, tidak hanya berpihak kepada sesuatu bangsa ataupun kaum yang tertentu sahaja. Akibatnya, Malaysia boleh menjadi destinasi pelaburan yang tekun dan bertekad, serta mampu menjana manfaat sejagat untuk syarikat-syarikat tersebut, dan juga untuk mereka yang sanggup menyumbang terhadap Projek Malaysia. Toleransi itu sememangnya sesuatu yang bagus, saudara, dan memupuk semangat patriotik itu juga amat penting. Tetapi, pada pandangan saya, ini bukanlah cara penyelesaian, tetapi hanya setakat meletakkan plaster di atas pencederaan sahaja.
Perkara yang terakhir yang perlu saya ulas (dan maafkan saya kerana komen ini sudah sememangnya agak panjang!): Saya berasa bahawa memang terdapatnya kepentingan masyarakat Melayu yang harus dihormati. Saya sedar bahawa masyarakat Melayu, India, dan lain-lain mempunyai sistem nilai-nilai sendiri yang sememangnya harus dihormati. Sememangnya, saya juga terasa bahawa sebahagian buruk sangka yang kini dialami oleh rakyat Malaysia ini berasal daripada isu persepsi dan kekurangan perbincangan tentang isu-isu 3R dan tentang soalan-soalan keadilan dan kesaksamaan yang masyarakat ini ataupun pemerintah terasa agak sensitif dan akibatnya tidak benarkan berlangsung secara terbuka-buka ataupun ahli politik tidak sanggup menggadaikan kerjaya mereka sendiri dengan berbincang hal-hal ini dengan terbuka. Terpulang pada anda apa yang anda ingin percayai. Tetapi pada pendapat saya, persepsi bukannya realiti, dan kegagalan untuk menyelaraskan persepsi dengan realiti melalui perbincangan isu isu tertentu di Malaysia telah menyebabkan kegagalan negara kita untuk menyelesaikan ataupun berbincang persoalan yang paling penting di negara. Ini sesuatu yang wajib untuk kemaslahatan umum dan perasaan nasionalis dalam kalangan rakyat - tetapi ia tidak dipedulikan ataupun dibiarkan sahaja kerana ketakutan rakyat jelata. “Mereka akan tersinggung - bagaimanakah kita boleh benarkan?” “Nanti pengundi akan tolak saya. Takkanlah saya sebutkan hal ni?!” Sememangnya untuk mencapai masyarakat negara Malaysia yang lebih matang dan lebih mampu untuk menangani cabaran dunia ini dengan lebih baik lagi dengan keteguhan yang diperlukan untuk era baru ini, kita haruslah menghasilkan realiti baru dan naratif baru untuk rakyat Malaysia. Itulah pendapat saya. Terima kasih untuk ulasan anda yang panjang.
Saya lihat cuma orang politik yang suka main isu perkauman. Tengok itu professor Teo kok seong yang berbangsa cina cuma mencadangkan untuk menjadi satu Sekolah aliran. Pemimpin party duduk hentam dia kata dia itu Bapa Racist. Orang cina Malaysia sendiri kena cerminkan diri sendiri, adakah kamu warga negara Malaysia atau pendatang dari tanah besar China. Sudah muak mendengar kata kata racist tentang kalau budak di hantar ke Sekolah kebangsaan akan jadi bodoh. Kalau budak itu ada talent Sekolah kebangsaan dia pun pandai. Kalau Sekolah jenis kebangsaan dia bodoh tetap bodoh. Lihatlah betapa bagus Orang cina Thailand dan orang cina Indonesia bertutur dalam bahasa kebangsaan masing masing. Kalau Malaysia nak pergi jauh 3 barang kena tukar. 1. Jadikan Sekolah kebangsaan . Kalau mereka yang ingin belajar mandarin , Thamil dan agama Islam boleh. 2. System quota di tukar ke system Merit. 3. Orang mana mana kaum tidak boleh campur tangan dengan urusan agama lain.
I don't know about it. Depends on which kopitiam they went to and khutbah they listen to or maybe series of events they have been facing. 😅 And of course how they intepret it 😂
“Play” 3R is a little much. Discussing is important, but (and this is not specifically directed to you) if you want to be racist against other races needlessly and you’re not out for an actual intelligent discussion but instead to throw out polemics because you have an agenda, you’re welcome to write what you want but they won’t appear on my platform since I will just block your comments or feature you on the hall of fame as an example of what NOT to do.
I think that Sarawak could insist that the politicians using racist sentiments should be punished or caught or silenced completely as a condition for remaining in the Federation and as a negotiation tactic, and for every other party to support it and then if PAS doesn’t agree, deregister it or allow it to secede Kelantan 😊 I am sure a lot of these people just want your state for the money and for the resources and not because your leaders are some of the most upstanding modern and progressive in this entire country. If anyone can do it, it's you! 🤩
Sarawak had the chance to become another New Zealand but Brook dropped the ball coerced by the British government. If the Brook family were ambitiously determined, Sarawak and Sabah will be a country today.
It’s Tanah Melayu after all, although orang asli are the original occupants. Malays basically settle around the coast and along the rivers. Goes to show where they came from originally.
Where they came from is a little less important than where they are going and where they will get to! But were they ever being navigated correctly? That’s a separate matter 🙃
Some or most malay people think they are special until they think police cant arrest them and always shout, when police take actions you can go to comment section and see many of them will say police only dare to arrest us not them ,,,,you go to any case and see comment sections then you will know ,they forget law is same for all as perlembagaan,no special law for any one ,,,,,i always think about king is malay ,pm is malay, ag and most goverment are malay then what tou scare for, hope malaysia for malaysian
I have had some very good experiences with our police. I could say that maybe this is just because it's a privileged thing, and as long as you are sufficiently charismatic or influential, then you can become friends with the police, but I don’t think this is the case - I do think that even as the man on the street, without any particular influence or otherwise, you can get the same types of benefits. What I do think though, is that in many ways, people who make police reports often do so because they have backing, or because an NGO has made the reports happen. That's why you see that there are more than 10 to 20 reports for certain issues that come out in a short span of time. It is because they are coordinated. I think that less political communities don't really have that infrastructure at the moment and there isn't a culture of going out to report the problems that people see en masse amongst the Chinese and Indian communities, although this is not a statement that the reporting culture is unique aboutthe Malay community. This is a shame, because I think the police unfairly gets a bad rap - from every single time I've made a police report, there has been an investigation, and I have spoken to multiple inspectors, all of whom I've had very positive experiences with. I further have no reason to believe that there is a systemic bias against Chinese or Indian people, given that I've had Malay nationalists taken down, and the Minister of Communications file legal requests to take down content from these people before. If you see something that you think is problematic, please report it either to them or to aduan.mcmc.gov.my. You'll be doing something good for yourself and also for the country!
here's a controversial take. colonialism is not always bad for the colonized. hear me out... the first generation has probably suffered... but. but when you look at countries who have never been colonized by Europeans you see that something is a bit strange. they are not always success stories. there were also some benefits to being colonized. getting to be connected to the rest of the world, getting to have more tech and values (human rights and being anti slavery...) from the colonizers and of course getting the lingua franca of the time. there are also the stability of the protection of the colonizers... that is all depending on the values of the colonizers though... not all colonizers used the same techniques and had the same values. as to Malaysia being uniquely racist... I wouldn't bet on it (even if was 2 bucks). Since you know English you can see that most countries have sectorial parties and multiple faiths. My take is that it is not the fact that there are different groups which creates tension, but it is a logical outcome if one of the groups has hatred towards those outside of it at its core. that is a recipe for disaster anywhere, Malaysia included. And so people in that group are always in a difficult spot (follow ingroup norms or outgroup norms?). In the news you might see that Lebanon is very fragmented and has different groups. But my guess is that these groups do have alignments between each other... Some countries actually benefit from having certain minorities in their countries specifically for their religious beliefs. as for unions... for the most part they are there to enrich themselves on the backs of the working people... this is why they tend to promote increasing the minimum wage (historically an anti-black law which hurts the poorest the most) and fight against firing inadequate civil servants (bad teachers for example) which hurt mostly those who cannot afford private education.
@VictorTan , you knowing english has to do with your ability to compare between your "uniquely racist society" to other societies. I'd start with Pew research to get a more quantified answer to that.
@@meirm471 Look, I know you are a relatively bright person, but your arguments are not making sense and you have no need to come in and try to show off if that’s what you’re trying to do. If you’re interested in Malaysia and you want to engage me in a discussion, then just act normally and not be going all “OOH HE IS FROM MALAYSIAAAA” or default into some artificial patronizing style of dialogue that assumes that Malaysians should know something that you do or otherwise or try to act fancy because frankly, it is irritating and I don’t understand what you are even trying to get from showing off interesting but ultimately irrelevant knowledge because people are not here to serve as your foils and if you want to contribute (you’re not being forced to), good for you to know that I studied in a western university and that in my university, you would likely be called an annoying ‘that kid’ and spurned by the people of every nation. I prefer for you not to go down that path, so my polite observation is that you can easily and much more naturally do so by refraining from making assumptions about what I know or what I do not know, or guessing at my personal attributes when they are not even part of the topic under discussion while failing to establish the relevance of your comments to the matters under discussion. If you actually want to engage with me, then do me a favor and focus more on establishing your meaning clearly rather than trying to show off what you know or what you do not.
@@meirm471 Ah, since I’m sure you ‘understand English’, I spoke about institutionally racist political parties. This means that the parties I spoke of are parties that explicitly cater to the different ethnic communities (Malay, Chinese, Indian) in Malaysia on an INSTITUTIONAL level. You don’t get to substitute words or ignore words while trying to sound smart just because you want to sound smart to me because this isn’t going to go well and will only reflect negatively on you.
@@nur-azhar Nobody’s going off to China. Also aren’t you in Singapore living a better life under a higher quality administration? Should you really be concerned with the failures of administration of Malaysia when you are already enjoying the fruits of a superior administration? 😊
Oh and when I say ‘superior’, I mean the current status of race and religion politics in Malaysia is reflective of inferior government and an inferior political environment. If you are enjoying the superior environment that is Singapore’s, then should you really be even hinting that the administration of an inferior one should be better or that you get to enjoy that environment while preaching the benefits of the Malaysian situation? 😊

It's not necessarily an intentional thing or the result of racism, but can be a subconscious thing; helping to create diversity is something that requires an active effort, one for which, if it is not you who does something, then nobody in this country will.
So now is a good time to start leading the agenda!
It doesn't need to be particularly difficult either.
Just try one day grouping up students who normally don't sit together with one another. Create a lesson that is good for participation and interaction.
Do that one single exercise where that one Chinese girl pairs up with a Malay boy, or a Malay girl with an Indian boy.

These seem small, but really it’s all of these small things on a large scale that you choose to do that make a difference in your own life; we cannot control how people behave even as we may shape or influence it, but your own life is what matters, and if by chance people were to emulate you and imitate your behavior on a massive scale throughout this country, then there's no question that the country would have changed.

People often think about the behaviour of teachers and how we should train better teachers, but just think about what's happening here - there is doubt, questioning, and, we hope not, a sense that things need not change.
To that I would say it is normal to feel uncertain or hopeless, but also, you could imagine having infinitely better educational qualifications or otherwise or the government investing an extra RM50,000 into your teacher training, and it still wouldn't matter if you didn't take the small initiative to make these things happen in creating small moments of goodwill.
If everyone thought that the situation in SMKs was irreconcilable, then that is what it will become.
I had a great experience at SMK with people of different races and with teachers who consciously did small things that brought us together, and I hope you will do the same in your small ways.

nope! not malaysians, bro. only the majority in sg4 and the followers. a lot of malays do not think the way they do.

Are you saying Malaysia should have a government like Singapore based on meritocracy?
This is an interesting question.
To it, I will say, even if what Malaysia has does not appear to be meritocracy in the strictest sense of the word, is it not true that we are still trying to implement a form of meritocracy in the political world?
Even if there is a racial skew in Malaysia in terms of the distribution of political power, I don't think anybody in their right minds would want to choose people who lack qualifications or who are dumb to lead our country and indeed, we don't.
We pick the Anwar Ibrahims and the Muhyiddins and the Hadi Awangs because whatever their personal, academic, financial or status qualifications, they have been the best in one specific way - The skill of polemics and appealing to the population at large as well as to their respective parties. Also, it’s not just that - these people have had significant personal achievements in the past as well, and whether they measure up to others of other races in the world or not, in objective terms, it’s pretty obvious that nobody would take a beggar or a bankrupt to lead the country because we are even within the constraints of Race, you can still optimize to find the best and nobody has a reason to choose those of lacking talent.
Even if you disagree with this, consider that the word meritocracy comes from the idea of what is good, which is what the word merit entails, in turn suggesting the ideal that only the best should rule, when you combine it with the word kratos, which forms meritocracy.
Note however that the word ‘good’ is a word that is ambiguous, because what is good depends on what you value.
If you call succeeding in a capitalist environment and outdoing other countries in terms of governance what you deem as good, then indeed, what Malaysia has is not a meritocracy. Instead, it is a system of political patronage where flattery and rubbing shoes with the right people brings you to the top more often than not once you have a minimum level of ability.
However, if you define meritocracy as a situation where good merely refers to the ability to influence people, which in turn is a function both of a person's oratory skills, personality and race, is deemed as the highest good, then in that twisted sense, then Malaysia is indeed a meritocracy, and we have nothing to change in the collective regardless of my individual opinion.
Would I personally prefer a society where we view what is good as the promotion of standards of living, and also harmony across races, and where the strongest and most capable of our society should take office or positions of power in both the capitalist and political worlds of this country and for those who can promote the maximum good for the maximum number with a precondition that this MUST come with improving the standards of living of the country and not by manipulating them to believe that politicians are the stewards of God or that the rights of other communities should be sidelined simply to serve their ideals?
Absolutely. If that’s meritocracy, I would take that in a heartbeat.
Thank you.

By the way, TAR kicked Singapore out of Malaysia in 1963 as the racial composition would’ve made Malays not so dominant.
Yes, this happened! It’ll be a theme that I’ll look forward to touching on a little later! 🤩
No, you are wrong. It is more than that. It is also sg greed in politics
For politicians is like striking a lottery when they become a racism hero among their own race and religion cards are use to secure vote for their own religion followers, so Malaysians don't cast their vote they vote their cast 😅😅😅 live with it
That is an awesome last line NGL 😂😂😂
We cannot seperate the facts from present way of lifes that has been shaping Malaysia. It is important for people not to be ignorant and keeping the feet to the ground as a reminder of ownselves origin. We must put ourselves at the right place and right boxes. With the right intention of not altering the from square boxes to hexagon boxes.
Well, the Singaporean strategy of arresting and creating extreme fear for those who attempt to even comment in such a way that creates racial harmony sounds fun 😊
I have been saying Malaysia is an authoritarian communal + collectives society(each according to their tribes). Illiberal Ultra-Nationalism among Malay & Chinese play a role in this environment. Call me a Neo-colonialist, I would prefer 🇬🇧 despite the wrong doing of the past. Unfortunately the British have to leave as result of not having the financial means to manage their colonies and protectorate after WWII.
Illiberal Malaysia is not the only nation that suffer from the plague of identity politics. Liberal Democracies like US, Europe & Canada due to mass migration have to bear with socio-political conflict between Western Far-Right Ultranationalists & Global South(who can’t assimilate). This vicious cycle have made me worried about the state of “Liberal Democracies” where Russia and China are exploiting division as a catalyst to sow chaos.
What R U talking about Russia and China sow chaos? Not the US
@ I guess you haven’t seen neof’scist revanchist project from China & Russia that seek to remake the world order into more state of anarchy and conflict. Illiberal Ultranationalism breed more conflicts, not peace/stability reality despite dictator dream of through their tyranny. You should ask this question; if China & Russia successfully dismantled the US led Liberal International order how long do you think the marriage of convenience between China & Russia last?

@@ZenWaveFunction lol Jews live in peace in Muslim land until they get radicalised by atheist Jews when they are not allowed to create a state by their own faith.
What is the solution
Thanks for the question. I don't have a comprehensive answer to this yet, but I can cite what worked in Singapore to start off and then make my suggestions. In Singapore, HDBs have ethnic composition requirements and regardless of where you are within the HDB allocations, your experience of Singapore as a nation will be the same because the ethnic proportions are such that you will always have Malay neighbours, Chinese neighbours, or Indian neighbours.
This is possible because 80% of Singapore is public housing, but it is not possible in Malaysia.
But it showcases that having people live together and do so in a systematic way makes it so that harmony is more likely to result. It also helps if you have explicit laws against incitement of racial tensions, which Singapore also has. Although in Malaysia, there are some parties that try to stop that from happening because they maintain that race is something that they need to discuss all the time.
In Malaysia, I think that different aspects of the Singapore situation can be integrated.
Forced integration isn't something that we can easily do because of Malaysia's size and also the actual distribution of people geographically across urban centres as well as rural villages, but certainly an element that can be put into place is requiring people to visit villages or living spaces filled with people who are ethnically different from them, particularly if they are in schools of certain ethnic compositions.
And another thing is that people should be exposed to integration, which can take place in schools via say, exercises where we ensure that SMKs are prioritized over time and are idealized, and where in SMKs, students of different ethnic backgrounds are intentionally paired together through say, class seating exercises and grouping, which can be facilitated by teachers, and where in vernacular schools, it is mandatory to visit neighborhoods that are of different ethnic compositions alongside guidance and structured interactions alongside collaborative activities - we can even perform partnership projects across different schools or otherwise, though the logistics there have to be thought about carefully.
If technology permits, we might even consider say, a Malay speaking exam where students have to perform recorded speaking sessions with one another and start practicing with each other, as one of many ways to facilitate social change on the individual level or otherwise.
More to think of for later!
Since this sense of origin land been misunderstood by the other nation, can that happen easily in other lands
Yes, what happened in Malaysia and what we can do is definitely something that other nations is watching.
We have not been handling it well, but we also have a unique opportunity therefore to deal with it though tbh it could go either way 🙏
Pada aku yang main card perkauman ni memang org politik saja. Dia kemudian tanamkan pada org org dia dan itu yg membangkitkan lagi.
Kerosakan dasar pecah perintah oleh British akibatkan perkara skrg iaitu perjudis antara kaum dan sekaligus agama. Apabila adanya layanan lebih pada kaum lain dilihat sbg ketidakadilan oleh kaum lain atas sologan adil dan saksama. Sedangkan adil itu bukanlah saksama.
Analogi yg diberi : duit belanja budak sekolah dgn budak university tak sama. Jadi adakah tidak adil? Sedangkan itu lah definisi adil yang betul. Jadi fikirkan lah bab tu, aku malas nak ulas panjang.
Jadi perkara yg harus dibaiki oleh rakyat adalah toleransi dan common sense. Aku kat sini bukan nak rasis, tapi pada hemat aku melayu adalah yg paling tinggi toleransi. Buktinya jelas. Ada melayu yg pro kaum dan ada juga yg nak ADIL utk semua. Skrg tengok saja berapa byk parti melayu yg pecah. Itu situasi skrg. Kalau zaman dulu, dari sejarah pon nmpk toleransi org melayu mcm mana. Jadi sama² lah kita baiki toleransi sesama kita. Aku jenis tak kisah kau bangsa apa selagi tau hormat sesama kita dan patriotik.
Jadi skrg ni aku bangkitkan pula isu patriotik. Di sini aku agak kurang puas dgn kaum lain kerana pada aku korg dlm hal ini lebih kurg berbanding generasi korg yg awal² merdeka dahulu. dan aku kecewa dgn generasi baru termasuk org melayu sebab patriotik tu dah mcm takda. Jadi sama juga baiki benda ni, pasti situasi skrg elok juga
Ada byk lagi. Tapi aku rasa cukup lah ini dahulu
Terima kasih untuk ulasan panjang yang telah anda tulis pada awal pagi ini.
Saya memang gembira bahawa anda terasa begitu tersinggung dengan konten saya sehingga sanggup tulis komen yang panjang ini, dan saya akan berbalas dengan sebaik upaya.
Pertamanya, saya rasa bahawa definisi keadilan dan kesaksamaan itu belum lagi menjadi tular dalam masyarakat Malaysia dan secara amnya, hal ini tidak didebat di Malaysia atas alasan 3R.
Saya rasa bahawa hal ini demikian kerana secara ketaranya, Malaysia masih belum berada dalam kalangan negara berpendapatan tinggi dan secara amnya, rakyat tidak mempunyai pendapatan yang cukup tinggi sehingga mana mereka boleh terima bahawa kepentingan mereka itu secara sejagat boleh ataupun harus digadaikan, maka perlulah kita sebagai sebuah negara terus mengamalkan dasar dasar yang telah diperkenalkan oleh tokoh negara zaman silam.
Namun begitu, saya berasa bahawa hal ini menyerupai amalan meletakkan troli di depan kuda yang mengelirukan susur galur yang sebetulnya dengan anggapan palsu. Sebaiknya, negara Malaysia harus mengamalkan polisi yang lebih adil supaya semangat perpaduan ataupun nasionalis boleh dipupuk dalam kalangan masyarakat agar boleh dihasilkan bersama.
Dalam keadaan dan dunia terkini, insentif yang wujud untuk kaum-kaum lain untuk menaruh seluruh upaya untuk menjayakan Malaysia dan juga untuk bukan sahaja membawa masuk syarikat teknologi melahan menjadi buruh teknologi tinggi itu masih berkurangan dalam kalangan masyarakat Malaysia kerana sekiranya terdapatnya buruk sangka dalam seseorang itu, maka pilihan individunya yang dilaksanakan secara bebas dalam pasaran dunia itu akan mengakibatkan dia itu beredar dari negara ini ke negara lain asalkan pendapatan lebih tinggi ataupun sebagainya. Ini sesuatu yang amat biasa.
Dalam kes Malaysia, tetapi dalam kes Malaysia banyak orang yang berpendapat bahawa beredar dari negara ini sesuatu yang diperlukan dan wajib kerana mereka tak ingin menjadi rakyat kelas kedua mengikut estimasi mereka itu sama ada anggapan tersebut betul ataupun tidak akibat dasar-dasar yang kononnya bertujuan untuk menghasilkan kesaksamaan ataupun keadilan yang sebenarnya berciri-ciri kefiraunan.
Untuk membalas bahagian kedua komen anda berkenaan dengan semangat patriotik, seperti yang diperkenalkan oleh Tokoh Renan, sebuah negara ataupun sebuah nation adalah sebuah entiti di mana rakyat teringin hidup bersama. Rakyat sanggup berkorban demi negara, rakyat sanggup melupakan peristiwa zaman silam, ataupun mengampunkan tetapi tidak melupakan, dan rakyat mempunyai peringatan kolektif (collective memory) yang mampu mengacu visi kenegaraan itu dalam konteks moden, dalam mana kita semua mempunyai pilihan.
Dasar yang dipaparkan ataupun dipamerkan sebagai dasar kesaksamaan tetapi yang dilihat rakyat jelata sebagai sesuatu yang tidak adil, pada dasarnya, dan dengan kebarangkalian yang agak tinggi, akan menimbulkan perasaan buruk sangka yang berterusan. Perasaan ini akan berterusan sehinggalah terdapat pengubahan dalam situasi rakyat jelata yang mampu menjadikan semua rakyat Malaysia berasa bahawa mereka mempunyai hak yang sama, dan juga keinginan untuk menjadikan Malaysia itu negara yang sememangnya wajib untuk dijayakan sehingga mereka itu mungkin sanggup menggadaikan kepentingan peribadi mereka itu dengan kebarangkalian yang lebih tinggi, syarikat-syarikat dari luar negara pula boleh melihat bahawa Malaysia itu sebuah negara yang sememangnya adil, tidak hanya berpihak kepada sesuatu bangsa ataupun kaum yang tertentu sahaja. Akibatnya, Malaysia boleh menjadi destinasi pelaburan yang tekun dan bertekad, serta mampu menjana manfaat sejagat untuk syarikat-syarikat tersebut, dan juga untuk mereka yang sanggup menyumbang terhadap Projek Malaysia.
Toleransi itu sememangnya sesuatu yang bagus, saudara, dan memupuk semangat patriotik itu juga amat penting. Tetapi, pada pandangan saya, ini bukanlah cara penyelesaian, tetapi hanya setakat meletakkan plaster di atas pencederaan sahaja.
Perkara yang terakhir yang perlu saya ulas (dan maafkan saya kerana komen ini sudah sememangnya agak panjang!):
Saya berasa bahawa memang terdapatnya kepentingan masyarakat Melayu yang harus dihormati.
Saya sedar bahawa masyarakat Melayu, India, dan lain-lain mempunyai sistem nilai-nilai sendiri yang sememangnya harus dihormati.
Sememangnya, saya juga terasa bahawa sebahagian buruk sangka yang kini dialami oleh rakyat Malaysia ini berasal daripada isu persepsi dan kekurangan perbincangan tentang isu-isu 3R dan tentang soalan-soalan keadilan dan kesaksamaan yang masyarakat ini ataupun pemerintah terasa agak sensitif dan akibatnya tidak benarkan berlangsung secara terbuka-buka ataupun ahli politik tidak sanggup menggadaikan kerjaya mereka sendiri dengan berbincang hal-hal ini dengan terbuka.
Terpulang pada anda apa yang anda ingin percayai.
Tetapi pada pendapat saya, persepsi bukannya realiti, dan kegagalan untuk menyelaraskan persepsi dengan realiti melalui perbincangan isu isu tertentu di Malaysia telah menyebabkan kegagalan negara kita untuk menyelesaikan ataupun berbincang persoalan yang paling penting di negara.
Ini sesuatu yang wajib untuk kemaslahatan umum dan perasaan nasionalis dalam kalangan rakyat - tetapi ia tidak dipedulikan ataupun dibiarkan sahaja kerana ketakutan rakyat jelata.
“Mereka akan tersinggung - bagaimanakah kita boleh benarkan?”
“Nanti pengundi akan tolak saya. Takkanlah saya sebutkan hal ni?!”
Sememangnya untuk mencapai masyarakat negara Malaysia yang lebih matang dan lebih mampu untuk menangani cabaran dunia ini dengan lebih baik lagi dengan keteguhan yang diperlukan untuk era baru ini, kita haruslah menghasilkan realiti baru dan naratif baru untuk rakyat Malaysia.
Itulah pendapat saya.
Terima kasih untuk ulasan anda yang panjang.
The fact that Malaysians think that ambassador of god is offensive shows how fuck up our nation really is.
Saya lihat cuma orang politik yang suka main isu perkauman. Tengok itu professor Teo kok seong yang berbangsa cina cuma mencadangkan untuk menjadi satu Sekolah aliran. Pemimpin party duduk hentam dia kata dia itu Bapa Racist. Orang cina Malaysia sendiri kena cerminkan diri sendiri, adakah kamu warga negara Malaysia atau pendatang dari tanah besar China. Sudah muak mendengar kata kata racist tentang kalau budak di hantar ke Sekolah kebangsaan akan jadi bodoh. Kalau budak itu ada talent Sekolah kebangsaan dia pun pandai. Kalau Sekolah jenis kebangsaan dia bodoh tetap bodoh. Lihatlah betapa bagus Orang cina Thailand dan orang cina Indonesia bertutur dalam bahasa kebangsaan masing masing. Kalau Malaysia nak pergi jauh 3 barang kena tukar. 1. Jadikan Sekolah kebangsaan . Kalau mereka yang ingin belajar mandarin , Thamil dan agama Islam boleh. 2. System quota di tukar ke system Merit. 3. Orang mana mana kaum tidak boleh campur tangan dengan urusan agama lain.
simple because of our politician.

It is. We have a swamp to clean up, and the effort will take ALL of us.
The Chinese must not be afraid to play the 3R😂😂😂
“Play” 3R is a little much.
Discussing is important, but (and this is not specifically directed to you) if you want to be racist against other races needlessly and you’re not out for an actual intelligent discussion but instead to throw out polemics because you have an agenda, you’re welcome to write what you want but they won’t appear on my platform since I will just block your comments or feature you on the hall of fame as an example of what NOT to do.
Why we want to play 3R like those Walaun? We are better than that.
That's why sarawak should depart from Malaysia aka malaya 😂😂😂
I think that Sarawak could insist that the politicians using racist sentiments should be punished or caught or silenced completely as a condition for remaining in the Federation and as a negotiation tactic, and for every other party to support it and then if PAS doesn’t agree, deregister it or allow it to secede Kelantan 😊
I am sure a lot of these people just want your state for the money and for the resources and not because your leaders are some of the most upstanding modern and progressive in this entire country.
If anyone can do it, it's you! 🤩
@VictorTan 👍 agree
Go go go! 🤩

Talk about electric hiking tariff and Capex
It’s Tanah Melayu after all, although orang asli are the original occupants. Malays basically settle around the coast and along the rivers. Goes to show where they came from originally.
Where they came from is a little less important than where they are going and where they will get to!
But were they ever being navigated correctly? That’s a separate matter 🙃

I have had some very good experiences with our police.
I could say that maybe this is just because it's a privileged thing, and as long as you are sufficiently charismatic or influential, then you can become friends with the police, but I don’t think this is the case - I do think that even as the man on the street, without any particular influence or otherwise, you can get the same types of benefits.
What I do think though, is that in many ways, people who make police reports often do so because they have backing, or because an NGO has made the reports happen. That's why you see that there are more than 10 to 20 reports for certain issues that come out in a short span of time. It is because they are coordinated.
I think that less political communities don't really have that infrastructure at the moment and there isn't a culture of going out to report the problems that people see en masse amongst the Chinese and Indian communities, although this is not a statement that the reporting culture is unique aboutthe Malay community.
This is a shame, because I think the police unfairly gets a bad rap - from every single time I've made a police report, there has been an investigation, and I have spoken to multiple inspectors, all of whom I've had very positive experiences with.
I further have no reason to believe that there is a systemic bias against Chinese or Indian people, given that I've had Malay nationalists taken down, and the Minister of Communications file legal requests to take down content from these people before.
If you see something that you think is problematic, please report it either to them or to aduan.mcmc.gov.my.
You'll be doing something good for yourself and also for the country!
here's a controversial take.
colonialism is not always bad for the colonized. hear me out...
the first generation has probably suffered... but.
but when you look at countries who have never been colonized by Europeans you see that something is a bit strange. they are not always success stories.
there were also some benefits to being colonized. getting to be connected to the rest of the world, getting to have more tech and values (human rights and being anti slavery...) from the colonizers and of course getting the lingua franca of the time. there are also the stability of the protection of the colonizers...
that is all depending on the values of the colonizers though... not all colonizers used the same techniques and had the same values.
as to Malaysia being uniquely racist... I wouldn't bet on it (even if was 2 bucks). Since you know English you can see that most countries have sectorial parties and multiple faiths. My take is that it is not the fact that there are different groups which creates tension, but it is a logical outcome if one of the groups has hatred towards those outside of it at its core. that is a recipe for disaster anywhere, Malaysia included. And so people in that group are always in a difficult spot (follow ingroup norms or outgroup norms?). In the news you might see that Lebanon is very fragmented and has different groups. But my guess is that these groups do have alignments between each other... Some countries actually benefit from having certain minorities in their countries specifically for their religious beliefs.
as for unions... for the most part they are there to enrich themselves on the backs of the working people... this is why they tend to promote increasing the minimum wage (historically an anti-black law which hurts the poorest the most) and fight against firing inadequate civil servants (bad teachers for example) which hurt mostly those who cannot afford private education.
What does my knowing English or not knowing English have anything to do with what you just mentioned 🙃
@VictorTan , you knowing english has to do with your ability to compare between your "uniquely racist society" to other societies.
I'd start with Pew research to get a more quantified answer to that.

Look, I know you are a relatively bright person, but your arguments are not making sense and you have no need to come in and try to show off if that’s what you’re trying to do.
If you’re interested in Malaysia and you want to engage me in a discussion, then just act normally and not be going all “OOH HE IS FROM MALAYSIAAAA” or default into some artificial patronizing style of dialogue that assumes that Malaysians should know something that you do or otherwise or try to act fancy because frankly, it is irritating and I don’t understand what you are even trying to get from showing off interesting but ultimately irrelevant knowledge because people are not here to serve as your foils and if you want to contribute (you’re not being forced to), good for you to know that I studied in a western university and that in my university, you would likely be called an annoying ‘that kid’ and spurned by the people of every nation.
I prefer for you not to go down that path, so my polite observation is that you can easily and much more naturally do so by refraining from making assumptions about what I know or what I do not know, or guessing at my personal attributes when they are not even part of the topic under discussion while failing to establish the relevance of your comments to the matters under discussion.
If you actually want to engage with me, then do me a favor and focus more on establishing your meaning clearly rather than trying to show off what you know or what you do not.
