This thread is amusing.

Actually, the POLICY is not as important as in the INTENT and INTEGRITY of the people EXECUTING THE POLICY.

Even if the POLICY only helps BUMI and exclude all NONS, that's fine if, say 80% of this assistance is being given to the poor and needy BUMIs.

Unfortunately, if only 20% is given to the needy BUMIs... then for the next 100-200 years also, this assistance will never be enough. Because the bulk of the assistance is given the people of the right color that don't need it. Of course, some will argue that these people will form the pillar of the community and the wealth will trickle down. That's fine if it happens, but I think most of the times, the corrupt and wealthy will just grab the excess for themselves.

unfortunately as you can see here, there are those who (either seriously naive or just part of those who stands to lose most if race based agenda is changed to needs based agenda) thinks there are no wealthy corrupts and all T20 are most helpful and ever willing to uplift their own community

Whilst I agree with you, probably this is a cultural issue. You won't win with logic or arguments. It's the same as arguing as someone on religion. In the end, the last bastion will be FAITH.

They have FAITH in their leaders, you can't argue with that.

Honestly speaking though, somehow it's our bad karma we had Atuk as our leader. I think almost ANYONE else would have done less damage to our Country than him. And to have him come back a second time, we're doubly cursed. puke.gif

I think another person is overlooked, Taib Mahmud. Based on some people's fantasy that the rich of the community will help the poor, the melanau's (Taib Mahmud is melanau) should hv been the richest community in Sarawak if not the whole nation.

Such is faith and cultural mindset. Imagine giving more tongkat to him because race based affirmative action must give to all in the community irrespective rich or poor  doh.gif

Like I said, it's based on FAITH. Despite Sarawak Report on him, he got elevated to Yang Di-Pertua and GPS still stands strong.

We aren't living in those rural areas in Sarawak, so we can't really understand their lives and culture. Imagine, it's less than 60 years ago that Sarawak joined Malaysia. Back then, it was under James Brooke and the British afterwards. That's not a lot of time for development to take place. Only 2 generations, at best.

Of course, hopefully there will be more people that become more skeptical and aware but that'll take time. Or maybe never... sweat.gif

Key point is, IT NEED TO BE EXECUTE GRADUALLY. If not of course there will be RIOT. biggrin.gif

It won't be dismantled. It's already entrenched.
It's just like the Opium problem in China that continued on from 1800s up till 1950s. It took a full blown Communist revolution to stamp it out.

We can only hope it's implementation can be improved, that's all.

Unlike the opium problem, this can be done. Remember people used to think BN will never falls until 2018. That shows pipu want changes. But don't poke them to hard. If they feels pain they will fight back like what happen now. biggrin.gif

Glad you're still optimistic about it. I ain't. That way I won't be disappointed with the sh*tshow that happens in Malaysia anymore.

malaysia is going the way of filipinos
even with a strong colonial legacy system
being corroded by tribal mindset
& a cultural system tht overides any national cohesion
its already too late to reverse this tide
