Don’t talk about national unity when in real life it does not exist

Don’t talk about national unity when in real life it does not exist.

Malaysia gained independence since 1957. Despite her formation more than half centuries ago, its population remains widely divided.

Largely it was the Malay state until the Chinese and Tamil was brought into this country by colonial masters the British which were famous for their divide and rule.

Until now, British influences were deeply rooted amongst Malaysian. The influxes of Chinese were large until they became the 2nd largest group after the Malay. Indian play less significant role then.

Economies were controlled by the Chinese else the state administrations were largely Malay. The economic pie of this country was not equally distributed. Malays remain poor and less educated whilst the Chinese get better education.

Not only large businesses were controlled by Chinese, private organizations clearly show large disparity between races. Chinese holds important position whilst Malays were there just to make up the numbers.

Banking industries were also not spared. Apart from Chinese controlled bank such as Public Bank and Hong Leong Bank. Their penetration also covers Government Link Companies (GLC) as well. We now see that Maybank, and CIMB where majority of the key holders in that companies comprises of Chinese with a very few Malays holding such position. The Malays make the most numbers in non-executives position such as Clerk / Non Clerical.

Simple check is to go to any CIMB branches or Maybank branches, where racial compositions were mostly Malays. Where the Chinese gone? You can find them in Head Office. In Head Office, there are many senior positions and these were filled by Chinese and Malays were the minority.

Ethnic cleansing

How these happened? The Malays were removed and replace by Chinese. These were done over the years. First rate the Malays lower than the Chinese. Then blame the Malays for non-performing and use this reason to replace the Malays with the Chinese.

The above happened widely in Chinese controlled bank such as Public Bank / Hong Leong Bank and HSBC years ago.

Now the bank under the GLC were also being threaten by this Chinese evolution / uprising. CIMB also headed by Malay. The other senior positions and middle management positions comprises by Chinese.

Modus operandi
CIMB recruited non-Malay EVP with working experiences from other banks such as RHB and Heong Bank. This EVP then systematically recruited his Chinese support staff (SVP / VP etc) to work for him. The SVP / VP too start taking their people. The snow-ball effect takes place. The existing position that was filled by Malay was being replaced by Chinese. At times, they will create new position to accommodate these movements.

This does not stop up to here. Performance Management System was being abused. Each year the Chinese were well rewarded by getting large bonuses and pay increments whilst the Malays just meet the expectation. So when the Malays got fed-up they asked for transfer or leave the job. These vacancies were immediately taken up by the Chinese.

Politics

To gain popularity everyone started to shout about togetherness and unity amongst all races. The Malays as usual like to out-do others so they started their war cry “1 Malaysia”

Is 1 Malaysia really will works? It has taken us more than half centuries; this country is still divided as ever. The Chinese still press for Chinese education. Why? Why can Chinese press for Malaysia education a better education for everyone?

If we ever want to call ourselves 1 Malaysia, we should have one type of school to cater all Malaysian.

The Chinese will not support this. They are not true Malaysian.

They want to be left alone and work their way up to take over this country if they can. But they cannot. So they work their way up to filled up every employments holding better positions than Malays or Indians. So technically they actually rule this country.
