Racism in Malaysia

[Disclaimer: This post has no intention to annoy anyone or bring any form of racial disharmony. If you're easily butthurt, stop reading and leave this post immediately. The author shall not, and will not be responsible and/or liable for your hurt butt. Read at your own risk.]

Just a thought: A lot of right wing Malays are saying that Chinese shouldn't complain about the education racial quota when Chinese employers are also being racist because they only hire "Chinese speaking" employees.

First thing first, the requirement is Chinese speaking, which means if you can speak Chinese, you stand a chance to be hired. There's nothing to do with race. In fact, a lot of my Malay friends back in Penang/Kedah can speak even better Hokkien and Mandarin than me.

Then there are those who also say that Chinese and Tamil school should be shut down and everyone should just attend sekolah kebangsaan. This, I totally agree. And you know what? While we're doing that, it also should be made mandatory for EVERYONE to study English, Malay, Chinese and Tamil. All four languages MUST obtain at least a Credit in SPM order for you to even graduate! Yes, graduate. No more taking scoring average to determine the passing marks in SPM as well. ALL passing marks for all four languages should be set at 60% and above. This way no one can complain about one not being able to speak or understand the other person's language half the time.

When a Chinese/Indian student wanted to learn how to perfect their Malay they would interact and speak to a Malay classmate more and vice-versa; and we would all have a better understanding of each other without judging a person's skin color.

All religious studies should also be made mandatory for all students. No more of those Pendidikan Moral bullshit. Since all religion wants their followers to do good, it's only fair if Muslim, Buddhist, Hindus, and Christian students get to study more about their own religion just like Muslim students who are currently attending Agama classes. For those Chinese students who always complain it's hard to memorized the nilai murni and it's stupid because every thing sounds the same and roughly carries the same meaning, and the Muslim students have it easy by just answering things about their religious belief. Well, now trying writing an essay about how to achieve Buddhist enlightenment or something on the history of Buddhism. Oh, and also, all essays must be written in sanskrit. (It's only fair since Muslim students needed to learn Jawi, right?)

Now that everyone is treated equally, racial quota in the education system should be abolished. Whoever scores the highest and the best goes to the best university and those who failed... well, too bad.

This way, everyone in Malaysia now speaks all the major languages; when employers wanted to hire someone who "speaks English", "speaks Chinese", "speaks Malay" or "speaks Tamil", everyone would know how to speak the language and no more accusation of employers being racially bias when they wanted to hire people that speaks a certain language. Well... except for employers who wanted to hire someone who "speaks Japanese". I'm sure as hell they must be racist. Now let's work together as Malaysians and chase those company out of Malaysia! 🙄
