Much has been said about the recent demonstration and the devastation it has caused. I don't care. HINDRAF is a movement fighting for equality and I respect that.
Two things I would like to share in this very short entry of mine. Nope, I did not have the brain capacity to think about all these, I just read it somewhere. Here it goes ...
IF the government is right and they are not practicing ethnic cleansing, why is it, the BUMIPUTERA's get a 5% discount when buying homes ? If the Government was intent on eradicating poverty shouldn't the 5% apply to all those citizens earning less than, let's say RM 2,000 a month. Why base it solely on RACE ?
The second issue I would like to highlight is the quota system practiced when allocating university seats. It doesn't matter if 6% of Indians made it to the university despite only having a population of 8%. It makes no sense comparing it that way. Samy Vellu, get your head checked! What matters it why can't we have a level playing field ? A field that sees no race, allows equal opportunity and not taking into account if you're a STPM or matriculation student ?
Does the Government actually think we are still stupid enough to read NST and believe all those recent surveys ? Still think the Malays can't play the game right ? The Malays have improved and I believe they are on par with the rest. Do away with the quota system and see a different Malaysia in the near future.
By not allowing the NON-BUMI's to get a place in local universities, the Government is forcing families to spend all their savings sending their kids overseas thus making them poor in the long run. It's a vicious cycle - not allowing the community to grow because the emphasis on education is much much more important.

The longer they're on crutches, the more dependent they become. Some Malays who grew up with NEP all their lives never understood the reason behind the NEP in the first place. They only *know* one thing - if all fails, there is always the Govt to feed us. In a way it makes the other races more capable. It trains them to do well in life and value knowledge, and quality.
The government is playing their own game, in their own field, spinning money that will never reach the bottom (us). We're being screwed. So vote wisely.
