The Super Malays of Malaysia

I met a lawyer at the airport while waiting to board our plane. We were sort of coincidentally sitting at the same table when we started to talk to each other. Lawyer Halim had 3 children and all of them were sent to oversea to pursue their higher education. I was told that all of them scored excellent results in SPM (8A's) but none were enrolled into the local IPTA, though they were being offered by the government. I was very much surprise because usually the Malays would not given up the scholarship specially located for them and also much preferred the local University than paying money from their own pockets to go overseas. "I don't want my children to be bonded by the government." explained Halim. His children are doing medic. "I want them to pursue their specialist degree in US. The doctors in Malaysia are working worst than a slave. I want my children to work elsewhere in this world where doctor are treated as professional and have work schedule like human." For a while, I have to agree to Halim because my sons are doctors too in the government hospital, working from 6.00am to 8.00pm, on call every alternate day( 24hrs), have not enough sleep most of the time and no more life for him..... Yet our Health Minister think our doctors were not doing good enough and have to increase their working hours. And Halim is willing to pay to get his sons out from this fate. I really salute him.

This remind me of the 'Mara Protest' lately for not to give way to other races to enter Mara. The rational behind is not really clear but two things we can guess, one is they afraid to compete with other races may be they presume they are less better(in real fact they are equally good). Secondly may be they being racist( still tight down by the historical factor). They forget that other races are paying taxes too. This racist kind of policies have to be outdated because we all had been here for more than a decade, and please recognise us as Malaysian who are also loyal to this country. The racist kind of mentality is a low kind of mentality, back to the time in America where the Black were not treated equal as the White. Halim is a super Malay who is not only dare to compete with the other races in Malaysia in fact dare to compete with the world. I have a great respect for him for this and hope that one day more Malays would come to join Halim, to have self confidence and to be competence with everyone else in this world. This is what our XPM meant by not using 'tongkat'. That time Malaysia would be prosperous, clear of corruptions, lawful(no bias,bias) and respected by the world.
