Malaysian politic has fascinated me in many ways one of them is how divided the malays are in the midst of victory of PR and the misery of BN. All is not lost for BN and PR is not the true winner either. PR has inculcated cynical minded society who would slate the government no matter good a decision or a concept is. Can we just get along and bring this country into a better future. Politic of hatred is everywhere. You would hate a person because he happened to be contradict to your political view. I dont know which side started it first but for all i know the BN is always on defensive mode. The root cause of the problem is of course race politic. The non-bumi is never at ease as long as the title of non-bumi attached to them. The non-bumi was the decisive factor in the last election. It was total destruction for MCA,MIC and Gerakan but not really for UMNO which has the highest seats number per party in parliament. Yes umno is tainted with corruption but it is not beyond repair. The existence of PR is merely to crush BN which they almost did. The aftermath has shown how power would change individuals to become arrogant not to choose unity over power. The strong point of PR for non-malay to vote for them is their aim to bring fairness among all races which understandably to abolish the malay privileges. I would agree of such agenda if the non-malay willingly to abolish vernacular school and embrace indigenous culture like what you do when you are in UK or Australia.Apparently there is no indian or pakistani school there. It is disheartening when the third generation of their immigrant forefathers could not even speak proper malay. Or worse could not converse at all in Malay.Maybe it is too low standard to fraternize with the Malays or speak Malay. I am at all not a racist but i become one when somebody starts first. The other day somebody being racist so now i become one;)

racial friction is always there in malaysia, it just a matter of how bad it is. Special Protections/privileges to bumiputras are actually something that have been agreed upon Malaya's independence , so the issue of a malaysian racist government should not arise. They should know , imean the non bumis , they were given an option to go back to China/India before the formation of malaysia, but because they got businesses, wealth and better life in malaya as compared to their native lands they refused to go back. acknowledging our rights to this land is part of compromise they should accept in order to stay put.
in regard to vernacular schools, why does the government continue such system ? they should do something concerning that.
Agreed to your opinion.In regard to vernacular school,it has created so much race polarization.As far as i can see it.It was done as concession for non-bumi to accept the bumiputra policy.One school system is hardly accepted even by MIC and MCA let alone DAP.Everybody is too anxious of letting go such system fearing the will lose their identity. For me it is nothing more than a school with chinese or indian medium. But the effect is massive on racial integration.Suspicion and distrust among races rise from misunderstanding each other. You would not know a person by looking at them.You must socialize with them. Nothing can be achieved if we do not sacrifice something in life. Hopefully Bangsa Malaysia will put an end to all racial politic.But we dont know when it is going to happen. Maybe when everybody is ready to sacrifice for the sake of unity.I doubt it as far as Malaysian politic is concerned.Everybody is rooting for Putrajaya in GE13 instead.
