I feel I am not very comfortable with Indonesia. The government, when think of it, it is also quite funny.
First, they don't want Chinese to be in their country. Good, kill Chinese and get them out of the country. After when they are no Chinese in Indonesia, now look at the country - A junk country. Useless currency, the country is overpopulated with uneducated peoples.
No more Chinese in Indonesia mean no one do business there. Because 70% of the economy are control by Chinese. In addition, majority of the companies are own and run by Chinese.
And you? You are just a person filled with racial jealousy. Proof? Why should we prove anything to you? We are a prosperous and rich race, I couldn't care less if dirt crawler like you don't believe it. Back to the hole you came from!
Malays, you are in denial. You want evidence? Just open your eyes and see! All around you, in China, in Indonesia, in the TV, on the streets, everywhere! Chinese are superior money makers!
Ha..........it is not about boosting our ego. I mean why would we have to? We have so much to be proud of already. It is a matter of truth.
I am sorry if you can't take the reality that malays aren't the ones who control a good amount of economy in South-East Asia. But it is not like you don't have anything to be proud of.
I am not thinking that our race is the best. I am talking the truth. Look at Indonesia before the riot, the country is stable and well. But after they have thrown all the Chinese away, the country has fallen. And lots of poor peoples there. The logic is already able to tell you.
Hahaha! Despite living in Malaysia, I already have second home in Perth. Why should I must live in Malaysia! What a fool!
I will pay loyalty to Australia. Why should I pay my loyalty to country like Malaysia which only care about their own ass malays? Where Chinese are treated as second class citizens there!
Why should I care about your peoples, and also I don't care about your peoples anymore. Because I am spending more time live at Australia. One day you will see your country become a second Iraq and collapse. You will see the time will come.
Malays, stop your stupid thinking. The truth is the truth. One more thing, you make the laugh when I think of, you can't even compete with the Chinese! Most Chinese think that your kind is crook. If you know where what I mean.
Your anti Chinese thinking will never improve your peoples. You should look into yourself before you insult other races.
You can't even compete with the Chinese, my friend. We are everywhere. Doing business, earning money. Anti Chinese is always anti China. Every word is against the China. Even China become superpower, you will find something to say China is bad. Ha!
It is extremely unwise for a Chinese to flaunt his wealth in Indonesia. He should have kept quiet about his wealth and stash away his money in a hidden Swiss bank account.
A country is poor because of its own faults, don't blame others. China was extremely poor until the 1980s when it decided to drop its arrogant ideal and open its economy.
For example, if you want to be rich. What are you going to do? Of course, think logic and hard working. That is how a businessman will success. Don't blame anyone else if you are poor. Blame yourself for not smarter enough and work harder to be rich.
This is different - Chinese success in Indonesia, where the malays start killing Chinese is because of jealousy. And Indonesians should stop blaming Chinese for monopolizing the economy, because Indonesians themselves are quite lazy compared with ethnic Chinese.
What do you expect, his Indonesia homeland is weak and the peoples are poor. His culture stays in the bottom of the world. Maybe he should look into himself before commenting other races. What a shame!
But come on, Chinese culture is obviously superior to those countries in South-East Asia such as the Indonesia, Malaysia and Philippines.
China has had an ancient civilization and a long commercial tradition. It is no coincidence that Chinese have uniformly dominated the economies of this region for so long. It is a cultural difference, not a racial one.
If Indonesia, Malaysia and Philippines adopt Chinese culture and become Chinese way, they would be just as successfully. It is a matter of cultural values and a certain worldview.
Hello,
I have been to indonesia and is a little familiar with indonesia. For your information, Most Indonesian is not Malay. Only in Malaysia, Malaysian think that Indonesian is Malay. In Indo, suku-suku is highly identified. Most are Javanese. They think that they are different from Malay. Suku Malay only a little portion in indo. For our Malay friends in Malaysia, indonesian see you NOT the same as them in term of suku and culture. They will say, "its very different."
Indonesian is in dismay of poverty. Indonesian laws (hukum) and its court is as good as another corrupted organisation. Ppl there exercise "social responsibility" for upholding the laws (their very own laws). Indonesian will in mob smash the thief shall you be shouting for help due to robbery or thievery. these ppl don't actually look into the situation of whether it is a real robbery or thievery, they just smash the person and cabut. They are so frustrated of poverty and when there is a chance for them to mob, they'd like that. Just like you taking goodies (because of "tak sedap hati" not of poverty) and did some vandalism. Sometimes the person may die in the mob.
And the chinese killing activities in indo is a dirty game played by the bad guy - the then-president now in trial for corruption. Just spread something to ignite, the mob will do the job. The then-president was about to get his arse kicked, so, he played the game in hope of diverting the spotlight. However, his arse was kicked anyway just after the biggest mob in the history.
Indo has high literacy rate, if not mistaken, over 90%. But the education standard is low. You know, the proud thing to be a chinese is not of physical wealth, its of the wisdom inherited from the ancestors. Most chinese nowadays do not realise the great wisdom of the east. Losing contact with the great wisdom. Chasing after western civilisation, which is a dead end in front. Its about being competitive. Think of what would those less competitive would do at the end? Or those with the most competitive advantage would do? Need a balance? Of course this is not limited to the nowadays chinese, its like a global phenomenon.
Chinese was the the first person travel around the globe as was recently being published "1421 - The year China discovered the world" by Menzies.
http://www.1421.tv/During the trip, chinese made friends with the native ppl. not being competitive or being merchantile like the west. They brought home a giraffe from Africa as an exchange for friendship not ppl as slave. This is well-documented in the Chinese history.
How could chinese 1st landed and started to live in Indonesia or Malaysia? Its because back in time then, chinese still got a little wisdom, not the pure wisdom. Chinese able to be friend with the native, thats the point. Nowadays, because of politicians wanted to be at the top, playing racial card. And not to deny, chinese losing the inherited wisdom and is trying to be competitive as well. Both politicians and the chinese trying to be competitive, powerful, at the end losing friendship. Thats the situation we are living now.
Go back to kampung and observed the old malay ppl there. How friendly they are to non-malay. Even these ppl visit the chinese kopitiam despite no halal sign. They follow muslim, just eat bread and drink kopi in kopitiam, what's the big deal of halal. As long as no pork is consumed, they are happy that they follow the muslim way. I agreed, muslim is for peace, not isolation and differentiation. Now, even the politics come from the agama ppl.
btw, i'm neither malay nor javanese. Just to share some facts where most malaysian may not know about indo. And chinese who do not know about themselves.
