Of Discrimination

Ketuanan Melayu (for Malay supremacy or Malay dominance) is the racist belief that the Malay people are the "tuan" (masters) of Malaysia. The Chinese and Indians who form a significant minority in Malaysia, are considered beholden to the Malays for granting them citizenship in return for special privileges as set out in Article 153 of the Constitution of Malaysia. The concept of ketuanan Melayu is usually referenced by politicians, particularly those from UMNO, the most influential political party in Malaysia. Infamous politicians like Najib and Hishammudin are guilty of this at the highest level.

In 2006, a major dispute arose when the Asian Strategic and Leadership Institute (ASLI) issued a report calculating Bumiputra-held equity at 45% — a stark difference from the official figure of 18.9%. Criticism came swift saying it was fabricated. Okay then what about this?

In 1997 University of Malaya study had calculated the Bumiputra share of equity to stand at 33.7%, using par value. Let me break it to you guys. YOUR INTRA-EQUITY is fucked up and it has nothing to do with the other races. Approve Permits and what-nots, its your own doing, so clean up your own mess and stop blaming the Chinese for taking away your wealth.
