I agreed with Dr Mahathir in this. Comparing with the Chinese and the Malays wealth here in Singapore, the Malays are worst of. In fact the Malays are the last in everything here. The poorest of the poorest in Singapore are in fact the majority are the Malays. With no help from the PAP at all, they endured this for a very long time. Too many Malays families are living below the poverty line. The Singaporean Malays are weak because they have been betrayed by the PAP which promised to be fair and the Malays Mps who are hopeless and corrupted to begin with. Yaakob, Rashid, Dr Maliki, Dr Faizal, Hawazi to name a few, are just pak turut or YES men of the PAP. They only think about money and forget about Al Mighty. MUIS is directly being control by LKY and his son. So do Mendaki. PAP policies are racial policies, for education, government scholarships are open to all races including foreigners except for the MALAYS. Malays are banned totaly from getting any government education scolarships. How do you expect a well deserved Malay student who have done well for A levels or polys to pay for a University Fees? Only loans. Mendaki Loans if they don't meet the requirement from Mendaki subsidy. Many Malays students give up because of NO money. For work also problem for the Malays, nowadays they the employers prefer Mainland Chinese PRC or any other races to the Malays. Malays end up being toilet cleaner la, security guards la or even worst jobs. To make it even better, these low paying jobs are asking only Malays can apply in the papers. Imagine that. Promotion in a job is also difficult to the Malays, a Chinese can be promoted easily but a Malays take like 10 years to get promoted to another level. And the Chinese asked on why JI and Mas selamat have been targeting Singapore and why on earth Malaysia has been treating Singapore this way. Check the facts. These are the reason, PAP under LKY is a racist party. Our IC indicate our race. When we applied for schools and jobs, they asked what is our race. Everything in Singapore is about race. If you are a Chinese, you fall under this category, if you are a Malay, you are under this and if you are an Indian, you are under this. Each race is being treated differently when the GOVERNMENT should be treating everyone equally. Our pledge state regarless of race and religion but that is only wayang to the PAP. A single race must rule and be superior to the rest is the policy of the PAP. Wah pian!!!!

Shazwan Mustafa Kamal The Malaysia Insider  Tun Dr Mahathir admitted today that Malaysia’s growth was slower compared with Singapore’s, but claimed it was because Putrajaya made sure people from all races had a slice of the country’s economic pie.Dr Mahathir said that in contrast, the island state did not take any steps to ensure that there was a “balance of wealth” between people of all races, leaving minority races such as the Malays trailing behind the Chinese in terms of wealth. This, according to the former prime minister, guaranteed Singapore’s economic advantage over Malaysia. Singapore helped form Malaysia but separated after two years in 1965. “Singapore does not have the problem of ensuring everyone gets an equal share of the economy. Over there, whoever is capable makes it. So people of the most capable race there are the Chinese. “In Malaysia, we have to ensure all races get equal opportunities so that there is a balance . . . to avoid racial riots like what happened in 1969,” he said. In an interview with Mingguan Malaysia — the Sunday edition of Utusan Malaysia — Dr Mahathir demanded that Singapore furnish details to back up claims that Malays in the island republic were economically better off than their Malaysian counterparts. He also defended the practice of affirmative-action policies in Malaysia as “necessary”. “In Malaysia, the wealth of Malays at one point was only one or two per cent. But now it has increased to almost 20 per cent. We also want to know what is the percentage of the wealth of Malays in Singapore, where Malays make up 15 per cent of the country’s population. Only then will we know whether Singapore’s free (economy) benefits all races,” Dr Mahathir said. He appeared to suggest that policies such as the New Economic Policy (NEP) were needed to balance the wealth distribution among all races in the country, as opposed to Singapore’s economic policies. According to Dr Mahathir, the Malays in Singapore were “weak”, unlike in Malaysia. “We want to know how much they are earning over there. The Singaporean government has never given any (proper) treatment to the Malays. How much are the Malays over there earning and what is the percentage like if you were to compare with the Chinese (Singaporeans)?” he said. The former PM has been highly critical of Singapore over the past recent weeks. Last week he claimed that Malaysia was a more democratic country than Singapore, and argued that the island republic’s “disciplined” image was at the expense of the freedom of its citizens. He said the reason why Malaysians were not as disciplined as Singaporeans was because Malaysia was more “democratic” and did not resort to extreme measures in governing the country. In June last year, Dr Mahathir told a rally of Malay NGOs that Malays in Malaysia risked becoming marginalised like their Singapore counterparts because of political division. The former prime minister said: “If we do not think deeply about the future of our community then there is a possibility that we can become [like] the Singaporean Malays and have no power.” http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/dr-m-malaysias-growth-slower-but-more-balanced-than-singapore/ Share this article:
