I as Malay, i feel embarrassed

Keris is a social symbol to malays. well so we malays take keris and say hi to people. Yea right i use it to scratch my ass. What is this! It is so obvious, i was at UMNO general meeting when HM took the keris out. He threaten who ever raise the malay privillage issue. So it was a threat obviously. I am not DUMB. We Malays are not DUMB. As a Malay, i to love harmony among my chinese and malay friends.. its because umno we malays are like that!

I am a young adult, living in this beautiful country for the past 23 yrs. I feel that the people should join forces together n oppose the govement that is causing us to be devided..that should b done first b4 we kill each other...does't everybody get it..this is what the goverment wants..all races to b devided...that is the only way that they can remain in power...that a change has come!! be strong people...

That's the way every country should be run. Tolerance and equality destroys.

Watching this confirms one fact- the malays know not of the act of accepting responsibility. Every race incited crime is subtansialized by the supposed actions of the enemy (indians & chinese). I lived in this country for a few years and what I realized is that the minorities have done incredibly well despite the obstacles facing them. Puts the malays on a level playing field and the chinese/indians would rip them apart socio-economically.

"70% of black men would not be unemployed in NYC"

That is a completely bullshit "fact" you pulled out of your ass there.

[malosalele]

Equality for all, all major spoken languages should be recognized, English should be the working language to prevent language chauvanism amongst the races and an end to the New Economic Policy.

When Malays go overseas, will the foreigners bend over back for the Malays, of course not. The NEP is pure and simple racism and favouritism, you should be accorded on the basis of ability not on race.

The Delhi Sultanate was one of many Muslim states that ruled in India from 1206 to 1526. Several Turkic and Afghan dynasties ruled from Delhi: the Mamluk dynasty (1206-90), the Khilji dynasty (1290-1320), the Tughlaq dynasty (1320-1413), the Sayyid dynasty (1414-51), and the Lodi dynasty (1451-1526). In 1526 the Delhi Sultanate was absorbed by the emerging Mughal Empire.

The Delhi Sultanates Princess Razia Sultana (1236-1240). While her reign was short she is regarded well in the eyes of historians. Princess Razia Sultana was very popular and more intelligent than her brothers. She was the very first queen of the Muslim world in the early Muslim history of sub-continent. She ruled from the east Delhi to the west Peshawar and from the North Kashmir to the South Multan.
