didn't i say this yesterday?
No one hirau me
I was going through the list of parties and coalitions and it reminded me of what En Lee Kuan Yew said as a Malaysian in parliament in 1965....and it was supposedly articulated in Malay.

How does the Malay in the kampong find his way out into this modernised civil society? By becoming servants of the 0.3 per cent who would have the money to hire them to clean their shoe, open their motorcar doors? … Of course there are Chinese millionaires in big cars and big houses. Is it the answer to make a few Malay millionaires with big cars and big houses? How does telling a Malay bus driver that he should support the party of his Malay director (UMNO) and the Chinese bus conductor to join another party of his Chinese director (MCA) – how does that improve the standards of the Malay bus driver and the Chinese bus conductor who are both workers in the same company?
If we delude people into believing that they are poor because there are no Malay rights or because opposition members oppose Malay rights, where are we going to end up? You let people in the kampongs believe that they are poor because we don’t speak Malay, because the government does not write in Malay, so he expects a miracle to take place in 1967 (the year Malay would become the national and sole official language). The moment we all start speaking Malay, he is going to have an uplift in the standard of living, and if doesn’t happen, what happens then?
Meanwhile, whenever there is a failure of economic, social and educational policies, you come back and say, oh, these wicked Chinese, Indian and others opposing Malay rights. They don’t oppose Malay rights. They, the Malay, have the right as Malaysian citizens to go up to the level of training and education that the more competitive societies, the non-Malay society, has produced. That is what must be done, isn’t it? Not to feed them with this obscurantist doctrine that all they have got to do is to get Malay rights for the few special Malays and their problem has been resolved. …
I look at at the coalitions and actually really, the key component parties i.e.
UMNO
Bersatu
PAS
PEJUANG
Countless borneo based indigenous parties
Whatever incarnation PAS is today
and the smaller players like
PUTRA
BERJASA
All of them have stated intentions to "fight and champion for bumiputera rights" in some shape and form. What does that really mean? Seems like everybody is fighting for the same cause, isn't it getting a little bit crowded? Given that there's only so many malays and bumipuetras and it's not like these parties can do a market expansion to indonesia lol.
Like really what's truly the differentiating factor here? Every bsuinessperson and entrepreneur knows that if you start selling the same product and service, you'll gonna find yourself running into uncompetitiveness soon. They will start to out-malay, out-bumiputera, out-islam each other......
It's obvious to me that the malay and bumiputera electorate gotta recognize this and what it means to them. Clearly, as the system is stood up and the narrative played, they have a fiduciary duty, more so than the chinese, indians and the lain-lain to not fuck up the country.
It's also obvious that the way forward is to present well-thought out solutions to solve for 21st century challenges. En Lee called it out nicely, how does voting for someone with the same skin colour as yours actually make your life better? He called that out in 1965, almost 60 years ago when the world was a very different place. The chinese and indians know that just because he's the same colour as I, doesn't mean this bro is gonna watch my back......
If janji/asal orang kito pegang is your thing, but many people wanna pegang, so many tangan wanna pegang whatever that alat dipegang is...doesn't it sound and look fundamentally wrong?
