Penang's Indian Muslim housing discount sparks lawyer's ire

Human rights lawyer Rajesh Nagarajan has sharply criticised the Penang state government’s decision to offer an exclusive five percent housing and commercial property discount to Indian Muslims under the Madani Home Ownership Campaign (MOC), branding the move as discriminatory and unconstitutional.

“This initiative is deeply divisive, discriminatory, and unacceptable. It blatantly favours one particular race and religious group at the expense of others and runs contrary to the...

Masuk islam semua dapat

- Mamu

Tongkat kan budayo kito

Penang not human live one

Kecian type yang voted them ?

After 50 years, people here still don't get it

The tongkat is only to help close the income gap between Malay and Chinese,
which is the contributing factor for racial and economic stability of Malaysia.

THERE IS NO OTHER REASONS.

ok la

later nasi kandaq store close, all street food padang kota gone, then georgetown will be a ghost town la.

When will it be enough? Chinese people are not your piggy bank. Until when u want to tindas Chinese?

ceena kan babi.

owai

Salah Dap

Bagi je la.

Double edge sword. Later time when wanna sell can only sell to 60% of the population. Subsale market sell at big discount compared to non bumi secondary unit.

If leasehold lagi kecian. Bumi must sell to other bumi. Totally cant sell to non bumi. My distant relative kana before. Only non bumi willing match his asking price. In the end transfer title kana reject appeal woso reject by authority…

Tongkat never mean for Chinese. I was wondering how does the developers claim for the discount 5%. From government or they cut their profit?

If claim from government mean we tax player yg bayar. Which is cilaka

Mara TVET graduate earns up to RM20,000 monthly as aircraft mechanic
By Zanariah Abd Mutalib - June 6, 2025 @ 1:14pm

KUALA LUMPUR: A graduate of the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programme under Majlis Amanah Rakyat (Mara) is now earning up to RM20,000 a month after securing a job as an aircraft mechanic with an international airline.

The success story of Ibrahim, a graduate from Institut Kemahiran MARA (IKM) Kuala Lumpur, was shared by Mara chairman Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki, who met him during a flight from Doha to Kuala Lumpur.

Asyraf Wajdi said Ibrahim approached him and introduced himself as a "child of Mara", havingcompleted a Certificate in Fabrication Technology at IKM.

He is now working as an aircraft body mechanic at Qatar Airways in Doha, earning between RM17,000 and RM20,000 a month.

"Ibrahim's story proves that TVET graduates can succeed and become skilled professionals on an international level.

"This remarkable young man from Merlimau, Melaka, said all his batchmates from IKM Kuala Lumpur have found similar jobs with comparable salaries. He is incredibly proud to be a product of Mara.

"Who says TVET graduates can't be successful? The skills and vocational programmes offered by Mara — be it through GiatMara, IKM, Mara advanced skills colleges, the Malaysia-Japan Industrial Institute, or even at higher education institutions like Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL) and the German-Malaysian Institute (GMI) — have proven their ability to produce highly skilled talent not just for the country but for the global stage.

"Ibrahim is a shining example of how a professional TVET certificate alone can lead to a high-paying, internationally recognised job.

"Only knowledge can transform lives. Mara is going global," he said in a Facebook post today.

Previously, Deputy Prime Minister and National TVET Council chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had said that the employability rate of TVET graduates is high, with Mara institutions recording a 98.7 per cent rate, surpassing the national average of 94.5 per cent.

In February, Asyraf Wajdi also stated that Mara had undertaken a rationalisation of all its TVET programmes, focusing on high-tech and strategic fields that align with industry needs.

This rationalisation covers 270 TVET-stream institutions under the Mara education institution network, out of a total of 344 across the country.

Haiya… why you din have faith in PMX? Our best PM/FM in Mesia, some days even in Batam and Spore!

Dog! Traitor! Tongkat lover! 😂😂😂😂😂

Religious apartheid!

I believe developers set their targeted profit from whole project, hence less profit from tongkat buyer will be compensated by higher profit from non OKU buyers.

So DAP now supports religious discrimination? Assholes.

Boycott mamak!

you mean their eateries?

Hahahaha 🤣🤣

Oh really. How about the poor Indians, Chinese and other races. You mean there are no poor Chinese and Indians? If the government wants to give discount on housing to help close the income gap between the people, they should give to people who really needs it, regardless of race or belief.


This is all pure discrimination bull shit.

Chinese born with wealth or they got special moneh tree only chinese can grow it?

been doing so for many years. no regrets.

Terima kasih DAP

Next to uplift is Bangla. Cos same religion. They are filling the gap left by the Bumis who got uplifted and nowadays no longer do the 3D jobs that the Bangla does.

No doubt in recognition of their contribution to Penang's reputation & economy.

So now Mamaks are considered as Bumiputra Penang? I, sebagai orang asli Penang, gelak ajelah as I find this quite amusing.

Give them this and yet complain Miskin la ditindas la type c bolot Semua la


Never ending hand out will only make a weak community

Chinese have it better then the Indian hindu's. Gov think twice before interfering with Chinese matters . See the temple case how it was "amicably" resolved?

The b40's say indian got free money and new site why make noise and wherever there is land indian pajak so disrespectful. On top of that bmx say building mosque on the temple land is victory for religion at least u guys don't get that kind of humiliation and disrespect.

But Ikea can afford spend 30 bucks a meal no problem yet need tongkat.

Occasionally makan but these days I don't like supporting these mamaks. Pay premium for humid damp environment with poor hygiene.

Religion has so much benefits in life, no wonder everyone wants to convert.

After conversion can get all sorts of benefits, including discounts, reserved lands, protection from other faiths, brotherly support, and removal from caste system.

In India it's opposite for the Christians and Muslims.

Silly people to engrossed with man made religions that their elites used to fool their own masses.

Bangla and Pakistan soon to be Bumi

After 1 or 2 generations, automatically become Type-M in this country.

I know a few of these type Is, They marry local awek, even when father is Type I their children no longer call themselves Type-I but M instead.

This is some sort of Communist Assimilation program?

I believe dap already know they will loose alot of non votes. Hence now pandering to the majority

Politics is politics

2x5 5x2

This is why people don't believe in religion. Religion should stand for justice and fairness but they use it as a means to take advantage. 😅

Can Chinese Muslims get housing discounts?

They dont release the real data of the income gap yet. And it is ald 5 decades, still....

Malay i accept

indian muslims are NOT malays

feel s tho there's one big confusion going on the understanding of what essentially race and religion

im confuse now who is malay then malay.... the one who vote DAPissss lol.... asalkan buka PAS pis pus... leteme say this again.... alll politician is the same... snake

U Turn liao... of course after so many brickbats.

https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/...uslims-says-sim

Rajoo must resign. Go back to EcoW

Income gap? Majority of the Malays are richer than nons now

Give me a break

I believe the original reason for protectionism is no longer valid, and they know it. Now it is purely done out of bigotry and is slowly expanding to include religion as well.

But it is shocking that Penang DAP has also embraced this apartheid mindset. Since I did not hear any outcry or objection from Antony Loke, I can only assume DAP leadership is ok with this. Real bangsats.

Lol I don't even get 5% being a pure malay 2 times now

what about chinese muslim? lol, pakai otak sikit ken ah?

Discrimination. Unbelievable this is from penang
