You don't talk c o c k. I won't say you are dumb...what you know about politics?Originally posted by outofcontrol225:1) English is our first language. If we are moving towards a more English speaking society, that is not marginalisation. It shows the globalisation of our economy.
2) Certainly, this pre-condition does not exist in the public sector. If private companies want to employ Chinese-speaking people, it's not the government's job to interfere.
3) If more Malays want to join the Civil Defence, that is not marginalisation.
4) This may be true, I guess, because we are surrounded by Muslim countries.
5) Same as number 4
6) This is his personal opinion. Please show some statistics. Generally, the better qualified people get promoted.
7) Please show some statistics. The least qualified ones normally go first.
8] Also show some statistics.
9) I'm not sure what he is talking about. Is he talking about students, immigrants, tourists or who?
Talk about skewed angle. I wonder why he didn't list the injustices done to the Malaysian Chinese and the advantages received by the Singapore Malays? Given some of the vague answers, I wonder if a Malaysia MP will really write something like that.
Erm, so what's your point of view?Originally posted by Lowclassman:You don't talk c o c k. I won't say you are dumb...what you know about politics?

dont think the malay wud be provoked..da same goes to other minorities...no one have a say in this country anways .we know majority wins...in order to compete wid china ppl..we have to learn ur language...Originally posted by aeskay:I think they are reli quite 'ego'.
The issue of MM Lee's intentions/meanings aside, i just hope that those words from Malaysia would not provoke our fellow malays. It is for ourselves to see what is the actual situation. It is rather worrying to see our neighbor adopting such an attitude to us. From the water issues to current ones, i don't know whether it is us who are impudent, or them.![]()
If the minorities in Msia are marginalised, how come there are two non-Malay Malaysian Idols? There is another singing competition recently, One in a Million, and the winner is Chinese.Originally posted by ShutterBug:If Malays were marginalized here, would there have been TWO Malay Singapore idols in a row???
