What I worry about…
… is not how ignorant the ‘up there’ people are, but more importantly, how Malaysia is being portrayed as.
New strain on Malaysia’s ethnic ties
What I don’t want is some uninformed “report” of how Malaysia is faring.
What I’m not amused at is how some “Manjit Bhatsia, academic, writer, born in Malaysia but now lives and works in Australia” so simply judge what’s happening here from the other side of the equator.
And what in the hell is this??! –>”Ethnic Indians see Malays enjoy the spoils of political domination and the Chinese reap economic rewards. “
If I’m reaping economic rewards right now, I won’t have so much to diss about in my blog here la….
And not all Malays are “dominating” in nature, you know.
And this…
“The decision to tighten visa controls for Indian workers wishing to come here was a message sent on the international stage but to a domestic audience – along the lines of: “Stop what you are doing or we will make life difficult for your friends and relatives seeking to join you”.”
… is just dumb.
Hullo, most countries that are dependent on migrant-workers nowadays ARE tightening visa controls la. Why weren’t they accused of anything like that?
So, does this writer’s country itself want some big chunk of its income stealthily sent back to some ‘motherland’? I highly doubt so.
About why the Indons’ visas not tightened… don’t worry la, the maids get abused all the time and not many of them see this place as the golden land anymore.
I so hate these irresponsible writers sometimes.
