It is very heavy heart to put up this post. No doubt this is a rock solid true fact, what 80% of the Chinese in Malaysia can do? They merely have no choice but to hang on in this Country. The balance of 20% who is either rich, educated, businessman, influential.........rather the elite group may have choice to decide to stay on or move out! It is interesting that Dr M defended that it was never his or UMNO intention to discriminate the non-Malay. Hypothetically, assuming he has a good heart (up to you to judge), did he realised that the government machinery was not implementing his wish and intention truly and fully! He need to wake up to distinguish wishes/intention and reality. For the real fact is the more advanced Singapore is the true refection of how Chinese is treated in Malaysia.
From financial perspective, have someone ever wondered why Malaysian has high saving rate?????? 30% GDP! who is saving......Malay (u know they kait petang makan petang) Indian (hardly survive brother).....you guess lah. The category that is saving is the one worry........ hoping one day the saving will be used. As time passed by, it has become a habit after 40 years (1969 - 2012). Not realising the amount kept under the pillow has ballooned.
Honestly, i really hope, this emergency funds set up 40 years ago will not be put in use due to its original intention.

AUG 17 — Below is an excerpt from a former MCA insider who has
left the country for good. The excerpt is from his letter responding to a
request from his friend asking him to consider a return to Malaysia.
The excerpt provides a personal but important perspective of the role of non-Malay parties in the Barisan Nasional. It has been reproduced with the consent of the writer whose identity we’re withholding.
An article from The Star provides the background to this disclosure.
YONG PENG: DAP’s long-term political agenda is to join Barisan Nasional in a bid to protect its supreme position in Penang, said MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek.
“DAP politicians are like any other politicians, for them it is the thirst for power.
“Penang has limited resources and how long can (Penang Chief Minister) Lim Guan Eng tender his land?” Dr Chua said, adding that the DAP hoped to see the MCA disappear and be replaced in Barisan.
He urged the Chinese community not to be conned by the Opposition party. — (extract from the newspaper on August 4)
Excerpt from the letter by the ex-MCA insider
From my experience with the MCA and the people whom I had worked with in the party, I can only say that most of them (from Lee San Choon, Koon Swan, Liong Sik, Kim Sai, Ka Ting, Tee Keat and all the other people at federal and state level) KNOW that the Chinese in Malaysia are not ever going to be in a position to influence the direction of how the country is to be governed, i.e. to say anything that affects MAJOR policies.
There’s just this denial syndrome that non-Umno parties are just there for window-dressing; so the next best thing to do is scoop up the scraps Umno throws their way... except Taib and PBB who take the lion’s share as well!
From the many, many sessions of central committee meetings and brainstorming, seminars, courses, etc, the one main thing to emerge is to only defend or safeguard Chinese position in education and economic sectors ... we’re down to TAR College, Utar and Chinese business interests which, sad to say, …is playing to Umno whims and patronage… macam crony business.
The rest in the SME (small and medium industries) can pray to God and hope to survive and are at the mercy of the idiots who run the bureaucracy.
There is NO hope ever under Umno that Chinese position will improve because the OVERRIDING philosophy since May 13 is that non-Malays/Muslims are to be assimilated (much like the Borg in Star Trek).
That is why the MCA is always fighting ghosts; Umno is always lying, even when the truth is exposed about their true intention.
MCA people know this and pretend to fight for Chinese when they know they are only protecting their personal interests/financial gain, through Umno patronage.
The BN was never a coalition; it is and always has been an illusion created by Umno to present an imaginary front to the world that the people represented by the various races and parties support them.
[Our elites] cheat and bribe their way in elections and steal what they can, when they can, with impunity. They not only do that, they find ways to criminalise the victims!! That takes them 10 levels above the Somali pirates!
To cut a long story short, and to answer your question about going back, even if Penang booms further under the DAP, the short answer is NO; I’ve burnt my bridges … It’s just too hard to ever hope that they will ever understand the meaning of a civil society, let alone try to forge one in the years ahead, even if PKR takes over Putrajaya... my prediction is that the worst is yet to come. I hope
I’ll be proven wrong in my lifetime.
Hudud has always been used as a weapon to frighten the Chinese and some extremists in PAS may have been used by Umno/Perkasa to split PKR, so the MCA is just playing the propaganda game to try to win back some Chinese votes. Umno, on the other hand, is using [the Malay fear of] Chinese political power to frighten the Malays. — Centre for Policy Initiatives
