Subject: Malaysian Government as an arsehole expects loyalty from non Malays..
The day will arrive when they will be given their dues.
> Subject: A letter to Lim Kit Siang
> To:
> Have you seen this ? A fantastic 'hands on
> letter' that described exactly all us Non
> Bumiputras' basic feelings at the present moment of the
> stench from BN especially UMNO !
> Even amongst the medical profession there is unfair
> treatment !
> Dear Mr. Lim Kit Siang,
> I have utmost respect and admiration for your
> tenacity in remaining in Malaysia to champion the cause of
> justice and equality and fight for a Bangsa
> Malaysia.
> My heart broke when I read about your article
> regarding the honest cyber cafe operator especially when he
> wondered if he 'had chosen the wrong country' to start
> and operate his business.
> I see my situation summed up in that phrase. You
> have said before that the best and brightest are leaving
> this country. Well, I am making every preparation to leave.
> I have consistently scored straight As in every public exam
> and placed among the top 3 of my form. In university, I
> studied medicine and am among the top scorers. I have just
> graduated and scored near perfect results in a medical
> licensing examination that will enable me to work abroad and
> further my studies.
>
> I
> was born a Malaysian yet I cannot see myself as a Malaysian.
> As a Chinese, I feel that I am
> being discriminated against. I feel that the government is
> trying its hardest to sideline me just because of my race. I
> look around and see this discrimination manifested in
> various forms. From the issue regarding religious conversion
> to the allocation of places in local universities, the
> stench of discrimination is sickening.
> It was horrifying to note in my
> batch of medical students, there were a substantial number
> of malay students who actually did not apply for medicine
> but were sent to study it. It is disgusting to think that
> many STPM straight A scorers are deprived of a chance to
> study medicine while the government gives the places to
> people who are not even sure that they want to study
> medicine.
> I have seen how racial politics sully the
> environment in the university and how unqualified people are
> in high posts at the expense of far more intelligent and
> qualified individuals just because they are Malay. I have
> heard the terrible statements made by delegates at the
> recent UMNO General Assembly about revoking my citizenship
> rights should I question their special rights.
> I have seen the videos on YouTube where UMNO MPs
> have the audacity to ask us to 'keluar' of the country
> if we don't like what they are doing to it. And I see the
> pathetic attempt by the PM to 'discipline' these
> racists. I hate the fact that
> Gerakan and MCA have done NOTHING to fight for my rights
> instead of just kow-towing to UMNO for their own
> gains.
> Patriotism isn't about singing
> the national anthem or raising the flag. It isn't about
> accepting at face value everything the government says. It
> isn't about attending merdeka celebrations. It is about
> feeling accepted as part of your nation. It is about knowing
> that your nation accepts you as a son or daughter. It is
> about realizing that being a part of a nation entails
> certain responsibilities. That is my definition of
> patriotism.
> And right now, as a Malaysian, I am feeling
> anything BUT patriotic. 50 years of independence? So what?
> What has it done for me? Whoopee. I have a chance to change
> my life. I will change my destiny. I could not choose the
> country where I was born but I can very well choose the
> country that I will swear my allegiance to. I want a country
> that will recognize me as a citizen and grant me rights
> equal to that of all other citizens. I want a country that
> has the wisdom to recognize my potential and talents and
> reward me accordingly. I want a country where the government
> fears its people and conducts itself in a manner worthy of
> respect and honor.
> This is not my nation. I am leaving. Mr. Lim, I
> salute you and all those like you who can find the strength
> and energy to fight for an ungrateful bunch of people. How
> many actually held mass protests, hunger strikes or rose up
> to defend you and your family when you or your son was
> imprisoned for fighting for us? How many did more than just
> shake their heads and move on with their petty little lives?
> None that I know of. Yet you continue to defend their
> rights.
> You are an amazing man, Mr. Lim and I truly admire
> you for that. Unfortunately, I have a bright future ahead
> and I will not waste it in this country. It is not my
> nation.
> Thank you for fighting the good fight.
