  If you think that Malaysian Chinese are not being systematically marginalised, why 'until kingdom comes', they can never be able to hold the post of a Prime Minister or a Deputy Prime Minister in Malaysia no matter how smart they are?

  Hmmm.....M'sia has been occupied by Muslims for ages. It's unlike the US where there are presidents like John F Kennedy, who is of Irish origin.

  Black president for the United States Of America next?
  Today, the most powerful black in the US is secretary of State Dr. Condoleezza Rice.

  I tink that its just a simple matter of votes
  
  Being in a democratic system, for a malaysian chinese to be elected , you need the votes.
  
  However , with a majority malay population , that is not likely to happen anytime soon.

  I really think that a Eurasian who's Chinese-looking may be more likely. Indian or Malay is a distant notion. Our old fool has said it before himself that Singaporeans may not be so receptive yet.

  Non-malay PM? not sure when can see one, possibly when I am already udner ground 6 feet or been turn into ashes..... hopefully in future.... but at least there is one indian DPM. Indian original, even more minor than the malays in SG. Anyway, the population is only that many people with small percentages of other races other than chinese, how then do you think will be able to make it as compared to the chinese even if it is in percentage term? .. chances are remote.....
