UPM squabble

It is quite amazing how the chinese newspapers in Malaysia have the dirt on everything and published so freely. How I wish I could read chinese!

This time, a dicipline case in University Putera Malaysia (UPM) has raised media attention and mine.

You see, apparently politics are actually quite active in the university scene in the local universities. These students form their own councils that back up parties of the government.

Watch this video first...



In the video, the group of bullies making a ruckus (malays) are part of the 'Aspiration Group' who are pro-government. The victims, comprising of a minority chinese are part of the 'Student Progressive Front' that backs 'Keadilan' another political party but not in control; 'Barisan Nasional' is the current ruling party. The whole incident can be read following this link and my remaining post will focus on my opinion. It will be harshfully truthful and could sound racist, but it is an opinion backed by known facts (although not presented), so LEAVE if you don't have the guts and an open mind.

First of all, I am sad to see the mental state of these bullies, especially when they're malays. I say it because the predominantly malay comprised government has worked so hard to support them by giving them special incentives for everything. From education to business to politics! It wants the malays to keep up with the predominantly chinese that controls the economy, thus have an edge in standard of living and civility in society. All for one, but never really one for all for these malays (what a bunch of wussies!). They attack in groups as seen in this video and also in the parliment (I couldn't find the video). And because of this bunch of twerps uniting, they act their twerpish ways. It is a BLESSING that this incident was caught on tape!

Ok, the malays now have all the help and backup all the way to the government, but when can they stand on their own? How are Malaysians going to be productive and more importantly competitive if this keeps up? We are looking at the risk of a falling society because what one thinks could be helpful is slowly going to backfire; heard of 'Spare the rod and you'll spoil the child'?

Ugh, I don't know what to say anymore, just watching that kind of monkey behavior (LITERALLY), saddens me.

I know it is a sad fact for the minorities to see unequal treatment by the government, not towards the poor and wealthy, the sick and healthy, nor the abled and disabled; but towards color of the skin! No doubt, it is a prevailing matter faced by governments all over the world.
But we could be better.

I conclude this with a message sent not to insinuate anger towards the government, nor to throw hate towards any race, nor uncontentment towards my country (maybe the government). I have many splendid malay friends here at Purdue I'm proud of because they made it this far. I still love Malaysia however I may sound because it is where I was born and raised. When people are channeling their grouses into hate and anger, I channel it towards an emotion of sadness, and the motivation to do my small part by doing what I can to portray a good image not only to myself, but also my country. I just wonder why people can't channel their emotions to positive motivation. Isn't this the best thing to do to maintain peace and harmony?






These are just cartoon stamps. Why just cartoon when it could be real?
