The Stream - Malaysia's ethnic and religious divide

[Edidy82]

Oh, dude. You play that video of Jais right? Why didnt you play from the beginning? Hear what that guys speak freely about Islam. = = please.

[motivationfreak]

malaysia is a country that practices racial and religious discrimination as state policy.i dont understand why the muslims love to claim that it is proof of peace between muslims and non muslim citizens?the only thing it proves is that dhimmitude is alive and well in islamic majority countries

[KaKaGaNu]

bullshit. why don't just say that you're trying to keep the power for yourself and your descendants. fucking cunts. all these mothafuckas are destroying my country just to satisfy their greedy needs. long live 'real' secularism and let the 'real' malaysians run the country.

[Areteam1209]

basically, I think overall this interview is nonsense when AJ failed to understand on Malaysian's current conditions. The real problem in Malaysia is due to respect and the stupid politicians playing with it. If all citizens were to understand why the coalition were formed and respect and follow the constitution, there will be no racial tension. Should have create better discussion especially on politicians with dirty politics..

Eradicate the issue of race totally. We can only then have a 1 Malaysia...race and religion will then be secondary.

And to the reporterwho interrupted Marina...please do not interrupt your guests when they are trying to correct you before you made an ass of yourself!

[LittleMissStuffy]

@Qutie36 I agree. I found that very rude of that reporter.

[zshaffiq]

one more thing ... i fail to see how the d foreign student issue relevant to this? we are talking about malaysian.

[zshaffiq]

to make it worse the religious groups are being childish, and activist from each races starts making a big fuss about it, yes i would agree that we need to tighten up on certain things but fundamentally it is fine, and the real problem is with the politicians themselves regardless the party. i would say that there is no single one of them is honest about the development, all they care about is winning election n wud do anything to win, including pitting us against each.

[zshaffiq]

adding to that the issue of malay special rights have been agreed upon during the time of the independance from Britain in exchange for citizenship n vernacular school for the chinese n indian immigrants brought in by the British (anyone who learn history wud kno dis). and to the journalist please get the news right, in regard with the issue of "swab with australia" it is not about giving the refugees citizenship, it is just about providing shelter for refugees.

[zshaffiq]

if only the leaders who are honest then thre wud b no problem at all, regardless the race. just listen to the 2 politicians, and in regards to the special rights to the malays it is not an issue at all, because it is not a specialty in essence, the government is just giving a little bit more help to the malays because there are more poor malays than any other ethnicity, it is necessary to norrow the down gap, otherwise it would be breed more problem

[zshaffiq]

"playing the race card," i wud agree with dis n to b honest d media is making dis look more severe than it really is! d real problem i wud say is not so much inequality d problem is the politicians themselves, with corruption and cronyism. my father a malay his mother is a chinese, i live next to an indian family, there,s no problem at all. The problem is with the politician regardless the party all they wanna do is just make their cronies richer and richer. this is what is creating tension

[maddy88ann]
