To those who are convinced of the fear factor that the Malays are always awaiting to swallow them.Here is some factual history.
Before there was Malaya and Malaysia the peninsular was known as Tanah Melayu, or Malay Land. Through treaties signed by the Rulers of the Malay States of the Peninsular the British acquired the right to rule the Malay States. These treaties obviously recognized and legitimized the States as Malay States. No one disputed this. Initially the peoples living in the States were divided into indigenous Malays and aborigines who were subjects of the Malay rulers and foreign guests (chinese and indians)who were not subjects of the rulers. There were no citizenship or documents about citizenship status as in most countries.
When Japan conquered the Malay States and the colonies of the Straits Settlements, the Chinese felt insecure as the Japanese were their historical enemies.Many Chinese formed and joined guerilla forces and disappeared into the jungle. When Japan surrendered the Chinese guerillas came out and seized many police stations in the interior and declared that they were the rulers of the country. They seized many people, Chinese and Malays and executed a number of them.Malay villagers retaliated by killing the Chinese in the rural areas. Tension rose and a Sino-Malay war was only averted because of the arrival of British forces. But the ill feeling and animosity between the two races remained high.
It was in this tensed situation that the British proposed the Malayan Union which would give the "guests" the right of citizenship as indistinguishable from that of the Malays.The Malays rejected the Malayan Union and its citizenship proposal. They forced the British to return to the status quo ante in a new Federation of Malaya.Only Chinese who were British subjects in the colonies of the Straits Settlements were eligible to become citizens in this new Federation. Naturally the Malay citizens far outnumbered the Chinese Malayan citizens. Chinese leaders appealed to the British, who then persuaded the UMNO President, Dato Onn Jaafar to propose to open UMNO to all races. This proposal was rejected by the other UMNO leaders and Dato Onn had to resign.
The British kept up the pressure for the Malays to be more liberal with citizenship for non-Malays.Tunku Abdul Rahman, the President of UMNO decided on a coalition with MCA (Malaysian Chinese Association) and the MIC (Malaysian Indian Congress). In the 1955 elections to the Federal Legislative Assembly, since there were very few constituencies with Chinese or Indian majorities, the MCA and MIC partners had to put up candidates in Malay majority constituencies after UMNO undertook not to contest in these constituencies but to support MCA Chinese and MIC Indian candidates instead.Such was the support of the Malays for the MCA and MIC alliance candidates that they won even against Malay candidates from PAS. The MCA and MIC candidates all won. Only UMNO lost one constituency against PAS.
The Tunku as Chief Minister of a self-governing Federation of Malaya then decided to go for independence. The British continued to insist on citizenship rights for the Chinese and Indians as a condition for giving independence.To overcome British resistance to independence and to gain the support of the Chinese and Indians, the Tunku decided to give one million citizenship to the two communities based purely on residence. One notable new citizen was (Tun) Leong Yew Koh, a former general in the Chinese National Army who was later appointed Governor of Malacca.
It was at this stage that the leaders of the three communal parties who had formed the Government of self-governing British Federation of Malaya, discussed and reached agreement on the relationship between the three communities in an independent Federation of Malaya.It was to be a quid pro quo arrangement. In exchange for the one million citizenships the non-Malays must recognise the special position of the Malays as the indigenous people. Certain laws such as the pre-eminence of Islam as the state religion, the preservation of Malay reserve land, the position of the Malay Rulers and Malay customs and the distribution of Government jobs were included in the understanding.
For their part the Chinese and Indian leaders representing their parties and communities demanded that their citizenship should be a right which could not be annulled, that they should retain their language, religion and culture, that as citizens they should have political rights as accorded to all citizens.Thus although Malay is to be the National Language, Chinese and Tamil can be used freely and in the Chinese and Tamil schools. In no other country has there been a similar provision. Even the most liberal countries do not have this constitutional guarantee.
A quota was fixed for the Malayan Civil Service wherein the Malays would get four posts for every one given to Chinese or Indians. However it was recognized that the professional post would be open to all races as it was never thought possible there would be enough Malays to take up these posts.The result was that in the early years of independence there were more non-Malays in Division 1 than Malays.
Before these the Malay States were feudal with the Malay Rulers enjoying near absolute power. Only the elites played a role in State politics. The Malay subjects had no political rights at all. Certainly the guests had no say in politics. Even the Chinese and Indian British citizens had no say though they may be appointed as Municipal or Legislative Councillors.
Hello racist with a racist nick. Let's take a look at this. Look at how you wrote this here:
Thus although Malay is to be the National Language, Chinese and Tamil can be used freely and in the Chinese and Tamil schools. In no other country has there been a similar provision. Even the most liberal countries do not have this constitutional guarantee. What you're insinuating here is that somehow the malays are so benevolent to actually give non malay races their own languages and schools and that somehow this doesn't take place in other countries.

This is obviously a big piece of Bull shit. From the very post that i am quoting now why in the hell did the malays allow this for the indians and the chinese? Cos they are benevolent? Of course not. From the very same post that i have quoted here.
The British continued to insist on citizenship rights for the Chinese and Indians as a condition for giving independence.To overcome British resistance to independence and to gain the support of the Chinese and Indians, the Tunku decided to give one million citizenship to the two communities based purely on residence. One notable new citizen was (Tun) Leong Yew Koh, a former general in the Chinese National Army who was later appointed Governor of Malacca.
Read the part i highlighted and made big. Why were the chinese and indians allowed their own schools and free usage of their respective languages? To gain their support to get independence from the British! Mind you non malays are discriminated in malaysia even today but that's ok cos only chinese discrimination is an outrage. The dishonest way in which you worded it shows what a snake you are. You're making it sound like the govt of malaysia is so benevolent unlike even the most liberal countries in the world.

Well i have already proven to you that's BS.
Let's address the remainder of your claim. You claim even the most liberal of countries don't allow minorities to do what they do in malaysia?

The last time i checked the US, Canada, UK among other countries allowed non white ppl to speak their own languages and they have not just chinese or indian schools but schools of other ethnicities.
All in all you're just trying to make it seem like malays discrimination of chinese is ok or to lessen it. Why? So that somehow in your sick twisted mind it can emplify so called chinese discrimination in this country. This country where you're not judged due to your race, where ppl don't harrass you or don't rob you cos of your race. While in malaysia a chinese would be targetted for robbery by malay robbers.
The Japanese were not be entirely blamed for the dire state of Sino/Malay relations and neither the pre and post war era a watershed for the worsening racial tensions.
Again a leaf from history.
Negeri Sembilan was ‘annexed’ after the Chinese massacred all the Malays, including Raja Busu and his entire family, in Lukut in 1834.
And who is Raja Busu?
Raja Busu is the son of Sultan Mohammed who came to Lukut in 1824 to develop it's tin mines.He encouraged the Chinese migrants to come and develop the mines.Thus the partnership.In 1834 Raja Busu imposed a 10% royalty on all tin mined.That set an angry reaction from Chinese miners,who were almost 100% Hakkas and their Chinese financiers based in Malacca.
On a dark night in September 1834.About 400 Chinese miners surrounded the palace and set it on fire.Killing every one of the royal family including children alive.Than they plundered the palace.An estimated royal jewellery worth about 3,500 pounds at that time was looted.
This piece of history where a benevolent royalty who encouraged Chinese migration and paid with his life and the entire royal heritage wiped out was never forgotten by the Malays.
WTF! This further proves you are a racist. Of course the japanese aren't the one's promoting it. What you're trying to insinuate here is that the chinese are somehow genetically racist and were actually the ones that somehow provoked the malays to discriminate them today.
Now like a bloody snake you're writing that somehow the chinese reacted that way to this malay royal for no reason.
In case you forgot here it is:
In 1834 Raja Busu imposed a 10% royalty on all tin mined.That set an angry reaction from Chinese miners,who were almost 100% Hakkas and their Chinese financiers based in Malacca. Oh yes it's perfectly fine for him to impose these type of taxes on them cos hey they are chinese so they deserve to be taxed. Yeah he sure was benevolent indeed. He offered the chinese to migrate there cos he cared about them. 
No he wanted to develop the tin mines and only the chinese are the hard working ones that can do it. Following your logic i can say the PAP govt is very benevolent to the bangalas by inviting them here to build our buildings. But no that's not what's taught. It's taught that we're supposed to actually respect them but of course if they were chinese building the buildings no need to respect them. What's even worse is he tried to further impost royalties on the tin they mined themselves. Who wouldn't be angry? It's very easy to see your opinion on this. Suppose it was some chinese royalty that invited malay or indians to mine the tin and he then imposed 10% royalty and was killed i'm sure you would say he deserved it. Plain obvious you would.
Lastly this is the most ridiculous part
Negeri Sembilan was ‘annexed’ after the Chinese massacred all the Malays, including Raja Busu and his entire family, in Lukut in 1834.
Wow 1834 was longer than 150 yrs ago and you have the gall to mention it? Btw why did you have to go back to such a long time? Plain obvious cos there were 0 incidents of chinese violence towards malays after that. What's the point of you bringing up such ancient history then? Why to somehow make chinese look like the bad guys and the racists and that they deserve to be discrminated even today for something that happened more than 150 yrs ago.
To hell with you. :oIo:
