Discrimination in Malaysia.

Personally, i will not try to hide something that the people in Malaysia are experiencing after so many years and decades but to justify and tell based on the true facts that how the non-bumiputra peoples are being discriminated in malaysia. There will be no competition because these people(non-Malays eg. Chinese,Indian,Singh and etc.) being ruled unfairly and considered as lower and medium class unlike the bumiputras(Malays). It has been practicing since after the '513' incident(clashes and destruction between the Chinese and Malay people) therefore special rights are given to the Malays to avoid another similar incident from occurring. But is it fair? The Malaysian Chinese, Indian and other races have been living in Malaysia for decades and given Malaysian citizenship but however still being treated as immigrants. Below are the list of racial discrimination take place in Malaysia :

(1) Five major banks, only one is multi-racial, the rest are controlled by Malays.

(14) 100 big companies set up, owned and managed by Chinese Malaysians were taken over by government, and later managed by Malays since 1970s, e.g. UTC, UMBC, MISC, etc.

(15) At least 10 Chinese owned bus companies (throughout Malaysia in the past 40 years) had to be sold to MARA or other Malay transport companies due to rejection by Malay authorities to Chinese applications for bus routes and rejection for their applications for new buses.

The sources above are taken from (http://malaysianunplug.blogspot.com/2007/05/malaysias-corporate-disease-glcs-with.html) and i strongly dare to say and clarify that all of the contents given above are true and not false. The Chinese and Indian leaders strongly opposed to the special rights and different ways are being carried out to bring off the special rights but however it ended up remain unchanged. The ISA being used by the government is cruel and have stop the people from voicing out their unsatisfactory and wills.
