1Malaysia: Realistic Vision or Delusion?

Assalamualaikum and a very good day to all.

1. 1Malaysia. A vision of where all Malaysians unite. Initiated by Dato' Seri Najib Tun Razak, the 6th Malaysian PM. But, it is a realistic vision or just simply a delusion just to attract non-Bumi to vote BN?

2. From what I have known about 1Malaysia, I can see that 1Malaysia is just isn't going to change anything. Unity? This is not the way.

3. If there's any way to achieve national unity, then one of them is to establish one-school system. Vernacular schools should either become independent from government or abolished totally. And actually, this is what all countries in the world already have. They only have one type of national school in the whole country. Only our country have three mainstream government-subsidised schools in three different languages (Malay medium, Chinese medium & Tamil medium).

4. For school, only Malay-medium type schools to be government-subsidised schools (hey, it's MALAYsia, ok?). Then, racial unity. No more reference as Malay, Chinese, Indians and others. Just refer as Bangsa Malaysia.

5. How to achieve this? First, no discrimination against non-Bumi. No Bumi & non-Bumi. Everyone should have equal opportunities to gain anything.

6. But, the economic distribution must be equal also. If the non-Bumis want the same priviledge that the Bumis have gained, then they must be prepared to share their priviledge to the Bumis as well.

7. If we want to be sure everyone's equal, then the distribution percentage of everyone should be like this in ALL fields from economy control to study opportunies: Malays - 60%, Chinese - 25%, Indian s- 10%, Others - 5%.

8. But this is where the main problem lies: will the Chinese gave up their centuries-old economic supremacy in this country (where during that time British gave them the opportunity to set up businessess in towns when they came to Malaysia) just to get equal political powers as the Malays? No. They won't.

9. Malaysia is one of the few developing nations in the world where the majority race do not hold economic supremacy in their own country as the British has made sure things like that when they left our country. And then we ended up with corrupt governments and greedy people who sold their share of the government's initiative to help Malays to the non-Bumis for a pittance.

10. Then, to further deepens the Bangsa Malaysia initiative (the REAL way) is to ensure that the local populance can only use Malay names (just like Indonesia had done for the success of Bangsa Indonesia initiative).

11. This way only will the 1Malaysia can happen. But it just plain impossible and won't happen even in 1 century later, or maybe even a millenia later....... I'm finishing my 2 cents here....
