Why is this happening to us????

No offence boys and gurls, but hazlami has gotta say what's in his head.

Damn.

It is really hard for Malay Muslim Singaporeans here to get a job.

Thats a darn hard fact. Sensitive, but i shall brave the torn waves and discuss it.

It is a reality that it takes alot for a malay muslim to get a job, in the past and also presently. Usually, the same piss-off kind of excuse would be,

"Sir, do you speak chinese?"

Wtf! No offence, my chinese friends, but that is reality. Cold hard fact.

Why? I must ask why. Everyday when we go to school we say the pledge, "...REGARDLESS OF RACE, LANGUAGE OR RELIGION..", but yet, implimenting it to daily life is seen as 'not-a-norm' thing.

I always respected my fellow chinese mates, and truly enuf, till this very moment i still do. But the fact remains, once they join the workforce, the situation would be different. There is a possible 70:30 ratio that a chinese will get employed as compared to other races.

What has happen to our education system? What has happen to our governmental policies? Where is the meritocracy?

It is shown, statistically, that we MALAYS are not stupid. More than 40% of our students are most likely becoming professionals, only that since we are the minority race, the statistics against the overall majority shrinks our percentage weightage.

But the mindset of MALAY=LAZY is still there. People still picture us as the 'race who only knows how to play dum and talk crap in coffee shops'.

This might have been sparked off eversince way back to raffles time. Raffles, unknowingly famous for rebuilding Singapore, has placed a fair stereotype on we Malays. The implimentation of Chinese hawkers as "Managers" and Malay hawkers as "Dum Players" instill a so-called mindset of Malays being unable to surpass responsibility in contributing to the economy.

My view? Farking wrong.

Why? During the Malaya Empire in Melaka, Malays are well-known to be excellant merchants who travel to every corners of the world to learn and trade. Legendary Hang Tuah even accompanied the Sultan to China. The Sultan himself had contacts with India. Until the Portugese came and destroyed it, Malays are well known as Explorers, who travel to diff parts of the world to trade. It is inevitable to accept that Melaka during that time was economically powerful as they control the Malay Archipelago and the Straits. It was, a golden age for the malays.

However, the coming of raffles brought about other forthcomings. Take for example, yes, singapore became a famous fishing port and that contributed significantly to the rise of our economy. But hey, he separated each race from each other, and brought in chinese merchants. No wonder SM LEE was kicked out from Malaysia during the MERGER- he brought a threat to the Malays Malaysian. He promoted a Self-Progressed Meritocratical society.

Now, Malaysia is called Malaysia bcoz it is a MALAY state. So it is understandable that the prospect of 'anak jati negara' or pioneer's of the land is accepted and truly enough, Malays there receive help, either financially or socially. He didnt like it, cuz he believe that everybody must receive equal share. But wait a sec. If he practice all equality here, it doesnt seem to appear that way. We malays here are suffering. Recently, my brother was posted to be COMBAT MEDIC, and to think that he is an ALEVEL graduate. Goodness me. ANd most of his chinese colleagues get Officer post. Only one of his Muslim mate got in, and he is an Arab, mind you.

Where is the equality??

And there's more. I talked to a good friend of mine on the phone yesterday, and guess wad? Her cousin went to apply for a job, u c. As expected, they wanted CHINESE SPEAKING. So she went to take a course on it. After that, she went back to apply the same job. Guess what? She got pushed off cuz she cudnt WRITE CHINESE. HOW WICKED IS THAT??

Equality seems to be a far-fetched reality. There can never be equality, i daresay. Even in USA, the Blacks still do receive unequal treatment. So i must say that, HUMANS are wicked in a way they are SELFISH and only think about their gain and not others.

There goes our sins. And for that, GOD punished us by kill thousands of people.

Humans. Can they resist GOD's STRENGTH and POWER?

While they can make nuclear bombs and sharp-shooting weapons, it is easily said that they can never fight or resist God's power. Even a tsunami, we HUMANS cannot save ourselves.

Talk about politics.

Dis make me sick.

Peace.

Even if she doesnt know, I'll still wait no matter what.. I dunno why i say that, but i just do. The feeling is intense, and i tried to fight it, but i can't. Kiahoa??
