Social structure in-justice and un-equal distribution of wealth remains the same is a time-bomb to Malaysian unity, peace and prosperity

Some having the opinion of helping the poor as sufficient to be a fair and just government but I suggest that this is plainly given without saying

But it will still not bring Malaysia to a genuine united Malaysian if we are really sincere in the fight for justice and unity. If the injustice of what was left by colonial British not being corrected just like how the existing ruling coalition failed to do, we will continue be sitting on huge time bomb...regardless under BN or PR.

Malay leaders via PR are seen to be compromising and sacrificing the will that the Malay leader in BN previously enjoy for the sake of a better opportunity for less fortunate regardless races and Malaysian unity but would the non-bumi especially Chinese be also willing to show their solidarity in also sharing their advantage in grabbing the nation wealth to the less advantage Malays, Indian and other Bumiputera ethnicity.

The Chinese have 10% of its Chinese labor forced population having access to high-education enrolment (Diploma and above) across private and public institution due to their higher income advantage (40% of national equity and highest in all asset classes be it wealth, saving, real estate and income) in accessing better education while the Malays and Indians having only 8% and 6% of its respective labor force population. Worst-off, with that high-education labor force population, 4.8% of both respective Malay and Indian graduate failed to get jobs compared to Chinese with only 1.9%. This is despite the Malays still have better opportunity in public office of which without that the numbers will be much worst.

This has nothing to do with competencies and qualification as far as meritocracy is concern as study shows both Indian and Malay graduate have relatively equal competencies with the Chinese graduate. This is actually due to the fact that the Chinese have occupied good and high position as employer in the private sector and business communities throughout the years since independence and prefer to select their own kind while very few really adopt the spirit of togetherness and being opened as Malaysian.  Without trying to generalizing and stereo typing of all Chinese behaving like that, sadly to say most Chinese are. The majority Chinese community need to be more sincere rather than being too opportunistic and must scarify their greediness towards wealth but helps others instead, if they are really sincere about unity. The Chinese community should not make seen as though they are fighting against the current government with the excuse to fight against corruption and abuse of power but in reality taking advantage of the Malay losing their last and only advantage i.e. political will.

The Chinese community should not make themselves been seen as being selfish for their survival in the expense of others. The Chinese community should not take the advantage of the fight against tyranny of UMNO supremacy for their own advantage. The Chinese community should not use full meritocracy for a justice and fairness as an excuse to continue the greediness. Full meritocracy should be applied when all Chinese, Malays, Indian, Kadazan, Iban, Murut especially the Orang Asli, Penan, Kayan, Kenyah, Kelabit etc. all have level playing field. Until then, meritocracy will hurt the nation more than uniting it. The Chinese community should not acted as though they wanted unity to all Malaysian when they continue to strengthen their separate personality harshly protect their next generation agenda via SRJK(C) right from the beginning of their children mentality. We should get out from ‘living peacefully separately’ towards ‘living harmony together’

Meanwhile, in Sarawak and Sabah specifically, both the Chinese tycoons and Malay supremo, should  not manipulate the disadvantage of the non-Malay-Bumiputera by recklessly and greedily cumulating wealth without any consideration to the needy non-Malay-Bumiputera.

While admitting I am hoping for ideal Malaysian aspiration, I have to acknowledge the selfish, greedy Malaysian will always be there to spoil the genuine unity I am dreaming of.

NEP - is it a hindrance to Malaysia unity and justice?

I actually like KJ's response to the first question and he is quite right in his response

The question was asked by I believe a non-bumiputera about how can we have an equal Malaysian (1Malaysia) when we have NEP at the same time.

NEP is not the reason why we can not have so-called 1Malaysia (if the meaning is to have justice to all races) as the very reason NEP was established was to make correction to the social-structure and wealth distribution left by colonial British. It is these very reasons why NEP was established due to the injustice of wealth distribution especially to the Malay majority and the injustice of social-structure especially against the Malays.

The objective is to enrich the uneducated Malays and the poor with capability and competencies to be in level playing fields with their fellow citizen the non-bumiputera i.e. the Chinese which mostly were businessmen and the Indian which mostly the professionals. Second objective is to re-shape the wealth distribution to the poor which happen to be mostly the Malays at that time and still is till today, but without taking away or sacrificing what is already residing with the non-Malays/non-bumiputeras but rather by enlarging the pie of wealth, with both bumiputera and non-bumiputera helping each other in enlarging the opportunity by bumiputera sharing their political will to the non-bumiputera whilst the non-bumiputera share business opportunity and knowledge to bumiputera community.

Without these, our forefather foresee (again regardless whether we agree or not), there will not be stability in the country just like what happen to South Africa, Israel, Zimbabwe, Fiji etc, when the the pre-colonial citizen were denied justice with level of playing fields.

As most of the poor especially the hard-core poor are the Malays/Bumiputera, NEP emphasises on "Malay Privilege" in meeting the objective of restructuring the social structure and these were agreed by our forefather among the major three races - Malay, Chinese and Indian in the social-contract regardless whether our generation agree with it or not. The word Privilege (Istimewa in Bahasa Melayu) used need to be analysed by the Malays as well as the non-Malays in more details. The word is 'temporary' in nature instead of the word Rights (hak). These need to be understood by the Malays that Privilege does not mean Rights especially when the new generation of citizen like us comes into existence.

The new generations will definitely question the - what perceive to be in-equal rights in NEP, whereas it was actually agreed by our forefather due to understanding of the spirit behind it. Lack of understanding about the spirit of it by the new generations was actually foreseen by our forefather. Hence, our forefather when they drafted NEP, realized this reality, this phenomena will going to happen anyway therefore, formulated something like a KPI for them to meet within the framework of NEP. KPI consists of expected deliverable/outcome and timeline. One of it for example is 30% equity among the bumiputera which consist more than 60% of the national population. Our forefather believed that, when all the deliverables in giving justice of wealth distribution and social structure are met within the stipulated timelines, the so-called privilege should slowly be removed to give equal rights and access to all races as 1Malaysia.

Overtime, these deliverable and timeline are like a time-bomb especially if one-by-one of the its deliverable not met within timeline.

The question really is not that NEP as barrier to national unity as it is actually the very reason for national unity but rather the question should be a) the failure to manifest the objective of NEP via failure to deliver the outcome within timeline; and b) the abuse of NEP in enriching small quarter of rich people and ignoring the majority who really need it. The central question is really a) who abuse the NEP? b) who should be responsible if the KPI set for NEP is not met? Answer to both questions are the same... BN led by UMNO.

The ruling coalition led by UMNO is seen not only failed in delivering the NEP outcomes but also making excuse in extending it and also giving wealth to the few cronies. At the same time, the non-bumiputera business community has not been as sincere in delivering their promise in enriching opportunity and extending helping hand in sharing experience and knowledge to bumiputera community. Instead they have been seen as taking advantage of blood sucking attitude of authority (government) whom always hunger for extra money by giving them bribery. These corrupt practices have delayed the deliverables of the NEP and de-railed its objective hence risk of bringing the country to in-stability as foreseen by our forefather.

The question to us now, what should we as voters do about it. Should we give extended time to the 'old' coalition to meet the deliverable or should we give the mandate to 'new' force but  still need to deliver the noble objective of NEP. Ignoring the correction of social-structure and wealth distribution is not the option if PR is thinking doing so.
