Morning … School reopens. *yawn*
I hv not completed much of my paperworks. One at a time …
Liverpool played aimlessly without Gerrard(operation and will be out for 2 weeks or so). Torres injured during the game too. Luckily they drew with A.Villa. Boring game.
Well, at least on Sunday, i could be with my two sisters. We went to Gayang seafood on Sat nite(600 bucks for 7.5 of us is expensive, k?). As always, my sis will insist of paying.
Had nice lunch at the Taiwan Restaurant yesterday— first time Sherlyn went there. Hehe
…."Ahmad had allegedly said the Chinese are "only immigrants" and that "as the Chinese were only immigrants, it was impossible to achieve equal rights amongst races". The report upset many leaders from MCA and Gerakan."…. This is a statement by an MP. Sigh. You all should read foreign press … HOW they see us, Malaysia. How they view of MP of Parliments. And HOW the see US(non-bumis) as being discriminated. The QUOTAs systems being abused. We toil, work hard and build our nation’s economics. Dr M acknowledged that without MALAYSIAN-CHINESE, our beloved Malaysia will still be very back-tracked. Most businesses build by CHINESE(they are known for their business-related skills) and hence, building our economy.
Yes, we pay higher prices for EDUCATION, HOUSING, etc etc … but, CHINESE never really voice out that we are deprieved the EQUAL opportunites in MALAYSIA. We quietly work hard and we know we have not much of choice. With limited places in local UNI, we non-bumis have to struggle and fight amongst ourselves for the placing. As for the bumi, they need not to study hard much as they know they will be provided a place. It is like a guarantee scheme.
A Malay friend of mine quoted "I m lucky as i m a Malay, but i feel for you all chinese la. Many of you studied so much but wouldnt be able to continue to study. Kesian(pity) tu". He actually got grade 2 in SPM, barely got a credit for his Maths BUT he is EQUAL us many chinese who were majoring Maths in our so-called prestegious Uni Malaya. If he got a grade one in SPM(even a BAD aggregate), he will be studying in MARA or foreign UNI, fully sponsored by GOV. Another Malay class-mate of mine who got aggregate 16(the minima is 6, that is obtaining 6A1 for the best CORE subjects … ) flew to UK(under Gov program) for her A-level and degree!!
Politics in Malaysia wrsen as there is lack of maturity, lack of transparency and so much more of lackings. It is SAD that we just celebrated our 51stn independence day WITHOUT much of independence of our minds.
