Equality

First, let understand what's the definition for Equality. There are different types of equality and the topic I want to discuss in details is social equality. According to wikipedia, Social equality is a social state of affairs in which certain different people have the same status in a certain respect, at the very least in voting rights, freedom of speech and assembly, the extent of property rights as well as the access to education, health care and other social securities.

Yesterday, Malaysia just celebrated its' 50th indepedence day. Since "Merdeka" till now, Malaysia has moved forward significantly until lately there is a feeling they are moving backwards. What to say? There are a lot of unjustice cases happened which we can't just hide it.

In fact, these things happened quite sometime back; from "Rising of keris" by one of the well-known minister publicly, 50 percent or more bumi-owned law firm only can deals with a government associated bank, school book-stores must purchase bumi suppliers, a fixed quota for bumi student in universities regardless their results and many more.

As per the prime minister speech during their merdeka celebration, inequality must not present in the society. Is that true? Malaysian always claimed to be multi-racial country where everyone was treated equally, freedom of speech etc. But I doubt it very much.

Why there is differentiate between bumi and non-bumi in almost all extent. Why there is limitation all listed companies must be at least 30% bumi-owned shares. Why should let the excel students to be disappointed and being rejected by government higher educational institutions? Why there is a skim fully subsidise non-excel bumi to study oversea eventhough their result is worse than the excel non-bumi students? Why bumi can easily get help from government?

If as the prime minister non-equality is not allowed, then there is still a lot of works need to be done before Malaysia can claimed to be the equal multi-racila country.

Above is just a few example, to avoid the unnecessary troubles as happened to a patriotic youth, study in taiwan, it would be better to end somewhere, otherwise I can write for 3 whole days without sleep as there is too many of such cases.

I truly love Malaysia.
