Thumbs up man
It was inevitable with the bumiputera policies.
There is a great disincentive for talented minorities to stay in Malaysia, they’ll be disadvantaged and lose out to a less capable Malay. So they all left to the Australia, UK, Singapore, USA, etc.
Mass brain drain and Malay-favouritism led to useless government officials being appointed at almost all levels solely due to their race. Then ineffective government led to the rest.

It's all over the middle east as well. The locals sit around on their ass doing nothing and collect a fat paycheck or better yet, get to own a majority share in a company that is founded and run by a foreigner.

think other than UAE and Qatar, most nations designated as 'middle-east' are constantly in a mess since the fall of the Ottoman Empire.

Bumiputera policies are based off racism to 'protect' Malays hence they will always guarantee favorable positions.
No surprise that Malaysia fell behind while Singapore practiced meritocracy.
That being said. I believe Mahathir was against Bumiputera but due to politics and how sensitive it was, he never got around to abolishing it. It would take an act of God literally to delink this now. Hell, even the previous Malaysia Prime Minister after Mahathir once said "I am Malay first, Malaysian second".

Wow, Muhyiddin Yassin really said that. Imagine the scenes if LHL were to say "I am Chinese first, Singaporean second"

Same thing in Indonesia. There are laws against such racism (SARA) but they are only enforced on minorities.

It wasn't Hishamuddin or KJ. Yes Hishamuddin brandished a Keris but he never said anything about Chinese blood (or any other blood). The story about the keris and Chinese blood was from the 80s and allegedly done by Najib.
"During the rally, Najib was alleged to have threatened to soak a keris in Chinese blood, evoking fear of 13 May repeating within the Chinese community"

If I remember correctly there was some sort of survey/paper which showed that a majority of Singaporeans of Malay ethnicity felt something along the lines of "I am Muslim first, Singaporean second" or something like that.
