Is that so? BTW, who formulated the discriminating special
previledges for the Malays/bumis? You think the so-called
non-bumis gave all these discriminating special previledges
willing? Sure, take all you want. Rob us of our rights. Kill our
children. We dont mind. Tell me who will do such a thing?

How do you know the non-bumis are not burdened by the
discriminating special previledges for Malays/bumis? Open your
eyes. Not every non-bumis are timber tycoons. How do you expect the
bright young non-bumis students to further their studies when most
places in local university are *reserved* for *less* bright Malays?
How do you expect the non-bumis to feed/clothed/educate their
children when all the policies are against them?

Oh, thank you so much for keeping the abuse only to scholarships.
I guess every one in the universe owes you one. GET REAL. How
about the *sleeping* partner of Malays that the non-bumis have
to put up with? Why should I pay few hundred dollars a month to
someone just because he has the *right* skin colour? Remember,
he dont even contribute to the running of the business. Also
what happen to the *free* land, *free* fertiliser, *free* everything
handout that the Malays get? I even see the Malay farmers selling
bags of their *free* fertiliser on the street. Oh, dont forget their
*free* chicks too. Where do you thing the money for these freebees
comes from? Tax payers money (including the non-bumis).
Oh, have you heard of MNC hiring Malays "Engineers" just to fill
their required quota? These so-call "engineers" just walk around
the plant doing nothing. How do you ever expect the non-bumis
engineers to respect him/her?

The divide-and-conquer rule still apply.
