@red_sun23@MesoAnglic Literal example of a tyranny of the majority, conveniently the actual indigenous population there (orange asal) is not ‘bumiputera’
Malaysia’s anti-Rohingya xenophobic attacks did not emerge out of nowhere. From the 1945 postwar riots to the 1969 May 13 riots to Kampung Medan riots in 2001, Malaysia has a very long history of ethnic conflict, racism & xenophobia.
Race politics and Malay nationalism have long shaped the Malaysian state. Whenever fear rises in Malaysia, it is minorities and migrants who become scapegoats. History repeats itself!
Malay Nationalists will try to rewrite history and downplay this dark side of Malaysia. It is nothing new and neither will it end. They will deny the riots and mob killings; like they are dening the mob violence and xenophobia towards the Rohingya.
Our daughter, Rachel Corrie, was killed in 2003 in Gaza, while trying to protect a Palestinian home facing illegal destruction by the Israeli military. She was 23 years old. The massive, armored Caterpillar D-9 bulldozer that crushed her was operated by two Israeli soldiers and manufactured in the United States. It was the same type of militarized bulldozer that US presidents from George W. Bush through to Donald Trump have delivered to Israel.
Today, as the destruction of Palestinian homes has only become more commonplace, not to mention the horror of Israel’s genocide, Senator Bernie Sanders will force a vote in the Senate to try to end this cycle of death by banning the transfer of D-9 bulldozers to Israel. We hope he will not take this stand alone.
No policy can bring back those taken from us by these actions—children and other loved ones. But the Senate now has an opportunity to honor the memories of our daughter, other Americans, and thousands of Palestinian civilians killed, and to show that their deaths, and all the destruction, will no longer be condoned and funded. We hope those elected to represent us, the American people, understand the message that voting to block these D-9 bulldozers will send. This will not be a symbolic gesture, but a concrete step toward the protection of human life.

Religious Affairs Minister has no business to threaten syariah charges against Wan Sabrina.
1. Religious affairs minister Naim Mokhtar has threatened to file syariah offence charges against Sabronzo (Wan Sabrina Wan Rosli ) over a music video - allegedly for being “too sexy”.
2. The Minister has no business whatsoever to make such threats. A government minister has no authority to investigate or prosecute citizens.
3. Prosecutions, whether civil or syariah, can only be decided on by the prosecuting authority, after a fair & impartial investigation by the relevant investigative bodies.
4. By launching this tirade against Wan Sabrina, the Minister has publicly shamed her even though she’s not been found guilty of any offence. He has also prejudiced her fundamental right to a fair investigation and trial.
5. This whole backlash against Wan Sabrina & her band is sensationalist & displays a distasteful obsession with female purity, whilst ignoring harmful misogynistic attitudes in society.
6. Anyway, how did the minister decide that this music video was too sexy? Did he watch it? What’s the criteria to decide this? Perhaps he should just “have lowered his gaze”.
7. It would be best if Naim and his Ministry, instead of scrutinising Dolla’s performances, should focus on real problems. For example, thousands of children who are denied citizenship just because their parents marriage documents are not in order. Isn’t defending innocent children our highest religious duty?

@SolidWasteguy@KLMetroscape Bro so it’s better to sacrifice lives to keep costs down? How much more expensive is it to build a passageway putting a few cones together?
