Yin urges the Malays, to ask their leaders the seven questions below. He is right…and we should demand answers from our leaders. Don’t let them shuffle off with just a mumble.
-
How come after 60 years we are still behind the other Malaysians?
Are we stupid or are you – our leaders – that after over half a century you have still not got it right?
The Malays in Singapore are by and large better off than us yet they do not have Bumiputraism. Why not learn from them?
The wealth gap intra the Malay community is much wider than that of the other communities. We have super rich Malays while most of us struggle to make ends meet.
Are these rich Malays so much cleverer or more hard working than us?
Or is it because they have used their positions and connections to enrich themselves at our expense?
-
Would it be true that if “affirmative action” is based on needs and not on race there will be more for us poor Malays?
After all since the rich Malays can afford to support their children’s education why are they taking scholarships?
Every place they take means one less place for a poor student.
And how does giving us discount on buying shares help us. Most of us cannot understand the stock market and even if we did, we have no spare money to play the share market. This benefits the rich Malays but not us.
Same for housing we can only afford one house if at all, while the rich can buy many.
Now if house purchase discounts were given strictly on the basis of needs and not race, then perhaps house prices can come down because of the lower holding cost for developers. This will benefit us.
3. You keep telling us the Chinese are our enemies; that they steal from us and that if not for you we would become extinct.
How did the Chinese steal from us and how are they going to make us extinct? Explain.
Are you not using them to scare us so that we run to you?
-
On Education: Why are even our fellow Malays leaving the National Schools and going to Chinese Schools? Are they telling you something?
Why is religion so much an element in our schools. Should we not have more time on subjects that prepare our children for the workplace – to cari makan?
And if as you keep telling us that we have the best education why are you sending your children to private schools and overseas universities? Why are our universities ranked so low?
We want good public universities led by good vice chancellors; we don’t care about his race. Yet you play politics with our children’s future by not appointing the best, but using race as a criteria.
-
To our Religious Leaders: Why is the Islam practised in many Islamic countries more liberal and open than ours? Words you forbid the infidels to use are used openly by non-Muslims even in Arabic countries.
I hear that in Indonesia there are siblings of different faiths in the same family. That a Muslim can marry a Christian without either converting from their religion.
Explain Al Baqara 256: There is no compulsion in religion.
And why do you think we are we so weak in our faith that we can be so easily confused, or influenced by the sign of the cross, or Christians celebrating their festivals that you forbid us to even convey our festive greetings to them? Or not allow them to enjoy their Oktober Fest as we consider it haram. Who are we to impose our beliefs on others. How did we become so intolerant?
Why is it that you make a fuss of how our women (or other women) dress and trivial matters like that; yet you close your eyes to the corruption that goes on? You say nothing about how our leaders have cheated us.
Has your silence been bought by the fat pay you get?
-
You scold us for being lazy and call us useless – that we cannot walk without a tongkat. Yet you keep pushing the tongkat on us. Why?
Is it to keep us dependent on you? Are you afraid that if we can think for ourselves and stand on our own feet without you we can make up our minds what is good or bad?
-
Why do the older generation Malaysians get on so much better with each other and we do not? Is it the school system?
Is it the less extreme and more tolerant Islam in their day? My grandmother did not wear a tudung yet she is a good Muslim. My grandfather sat in the coffeeshops with his Chinese and Indian kakis and no one made a fuss.
Have you brainwashed us to hate the non-Malays?
I do not care about race; and religion is a personal matter – between me and Allah. I do not want to be used as a pawn to further your own selfish agenda. All I want is a good job and peace and harmony. I want a good education for my children so that they too can have a bright future.
I look at our Malay brothers in Sarawak and Sabah and envy them for their racial harmony and how they enjoy each other. My grandfather tells me that we were like that once. I want to be like that again.
It is not the non-Malays who do not want to mix with us. It’s us who want to be exclusive and that works to our detriment.
Don’t play racial politics with our lives so you can divide and rule, and enrich yourself at our expense.
You can fool some of us all the time and all us some of the time, but you cannot fool all of us all the time.
Explain why you have failed after 60 years of trying.

Letters from Ward 5, Tanjong Rambutan
Zombie system using race and religion , only those didn’t get zombie drugs stay sober
A Government’s modus operandi is to keep the people poor and stupid. It is the same in the past and it is still the same now.
We know that all this started long ago. Now we have to clean the mess, but can we? Mindsets have to change first or else no matter how many nails we strike on the head, we will still be at status quo
When people talk facts nobody cannot accept. More selfie. Even the leaders cannot think what is good for the society. Forget about races. We are human being we deserve to stay on this earth.
All we need is happiness. Reduce the prices and more jobs old people 55 to 65 and youngest generation. Good education bring the younger generation to lead in the society as useful achives and icon to the world. Think positive for better future plan. No point argument over same things
Actually the writer is wrong to say that SIngapore Malays are more successful as they are not comparing apples to apples. Don’t compare currency as both have different cost of living and Malays are still lacking behind the 2 other races in Singapore in terms of salary and achievements there. There is no top ranking police or army who is a Malay for the last 60 years. In Malaysia, the top 10 billionaires are 7 Chinese, 2 Indians and only 1 Malay (Syed Mokhtar). In Singapore there is no Malay in the top 5000 richest, no billionaire even to date.
In S’pore private sectors, there are so few Malay doctors or even Malay lawyers and till today there is no top Malay surgeon/lawyer and most of the Malays are in the lowest income bracket. Even in Politics, since 1959 PAP administation, there is no Malay DPM or even PM till today. And for 60 years it was only 1 Malay Minister in Cabinet usually just a Water Resource and Environment Ministry not the big portfolios.
However, before PAP took over in 1959, Singapore had a Deputy Chief Minister who is Malay (Mr. Abdul Hamid Haji Jumat 1956-59) under Labour Front Party. His son is now Malaysian UMNO politician Putra Haron Jumat. But after 1959 there is no Deputy who is Malay till today. For your info, The President of Singapore is just a figurehead and no EXCO powers and can be sacked by the PM. So how can we say Malays in Singapore are more successful than Malaysia??
The only difference is the currency which does not prove Malays in Singapore are better as they also have high debts/mortgage and higher bills in SIngapore than in Malaysia. (e.g a low income Malay SIngapore earning 1K sgd a month, but it is about 3000RM in Malaysia but still struggles with life in SG) In Singapore “equality” has been officially described as an ideal, not reality.

Alamak, Yin, I seriously think I should do a “Murphy” on you and release you from Tanjung Rambutan. How come so cheong hei one? You asked the retards from UMNO seven questions and obviously you are not made aware that these retards have a memory span lasting no more than two questions at best. How can they remember so many questions least to answer them all? You see the kleptocrat, cannot even remember he bought so much jewelleries and handbags but can remember the missing chocolate from his fridge. Mind you some of the jewelleries and handbags are worth more than your humble abode in TJ, Sorry I called it TJ as Tanjung Rambutan is too cheong hei as we, Malaysians love to shorten our words like KL, PJ and hence TJ. What about Mulatuli and his Kampung Kencing Gajah? We should called it KKG. How about using your precious time on earth and ponder about climate change and single use plastic bags? Especially we are in the grip of a heatwave throughout Peninsula Malaysia, it is imperative you consider climate change as otherwise how many questions you asked the Malays to ponder and examine will all be in vain as the earth melts down. Okay, please consider my suggestion and I just might leave you in TJ for awhile.

There’s an alternative views by Prof.Ahameed Kameel Mydin Meera , an article titled ‘ “Fiat Money and Economic Degradation of the Malays” please look into it.
No. 3 is the most bias. How is the non-Malays your enemies when the government, civil service and defense forces are almost totally dominated by Malays. The government is funded by taxes on the non-Malays while many Malays are exempted by paying zakat.
If all the non-Malays decided to balik tongsan I wonder who will be paying the almost RM1 trillion incurred by the previous government.
The writer’s comments and observations are spot on. Would love to see who has the courage to respond truthfully and not sugar coated lies. The truth is the truth. We cannot move on it we refuse to be truthful about the past. The truth will set us all free!
Say who?
It’s the first time we heard or read about the writer’s alllegation that the reverts not allowed to celebrate the CNY.
Yes, i agree with you as I have not heard about the prohibition to celebrate CNY. The kampung located on an island in Malacca celebrates Moon Cake festival or commonly known as Autumn Festival by festooning lanterns and the kids carried lanterns and marched around their kampung joyously. No issue there and it was heartening to see no imam coming out to chastise them. But Malacca is unique as we had the DAP Malay representative who dares to champion his constituency of different races when their rights are violated. Despite his abrupt and contentious manner in which he carries out his task but his loyalty is to his constituency. Should sent him to represent the federal constituency in Putra Jaya. Another fake news item or fallacy which should check out before blurting the falsehood.
One more question to ask. Why are Chinese converts not allowed to celebrate Chinese New Year.? They are told that CNY is a religious festival. You know and I know that it is not. Who are you to tell the Chinese that CNY is a religious festival and therefore forbid Chinese converts to celebrate CNY. Do you want the Chinese converts to ‘masuk melayu’? If so please say so for all to hear so that all potential converts know what they are up against.
Please see reply below as the comments were attached to the wrong commentary. Oops.
The Seven questions that was asked should be answered by the Malay race themselves. It was the right questions asked and still will be the questions to ask as time goes along , for the answers are already in every heart and mind of the Malay race EXCEPT there is no will and convictions that it was all their own doing that allows their leaders to manipulate them all in the guise of Bangsa dan Agama..They knowingly will also fall back on their denial to allow themselves to believe what they are have been told is to protect , ensure and perpetuate their false ketuanan. This particular indoctrination gives them a false pride that they are in charge and the country is theirs. Such false ego seems better rather than loosing out totally. This involuntarily and subconciously make them acknowledging that they have to stamp their might eventho’ it is all empty in contents for them. Sad very very sad. They need a visionary leader to leade and chart a new course for them and drop all the unearranted resistance to changes. This is where the education sysytem needs a total overhauling and not a half bake decision to do so,
” leader to lead” , ‘unwarranted resistance “
Its good if can translate to Malay so that everyone can read.?
pot ON Mariam !
No 7. is A FACT – systematic hate indoctrination for decades by UMNO while the biggest sin committed by component parties in BN. Who trade their community future to keep their high political positions.
