I think what TS is trying to say here is that, the tongkat policy is heavily flawed and corrupted. Common sense will tell you, after so many years, you see little to no effect, something is wrong with the policy.

Also, I applaud the politicians to have played the race and religion card so well, it blinds the typical Malaysians from seeing the actual truth. They think as long as it helps the "malay", then it's all good.
