@malaygentleman Because jiwa hamba is basically "biar dipijak orang atas, asalkan ada orang bawah untuk dipijak" and that's deeply ingrained into their minds
I recall that infamous clip of Rais Yatim being supremely nasty to a reporter who had the gall to ask him a question in English
But the most grossly condescending thing about it was him calling her “anak”
@ChazakielDoremi Any of these can grant SOME measure of power, but there's always a greater level beyond that. One that a hero, if they want to beat an incredibly powerful villain, can only earn by attaining enlightenment
@ChazakielDoremi I don't know if Lucas was ever influenced by wuxia, but modern-day SW creatives could do a lot worse than take a page from wuxia tropes
True power comes from wisdom. Not birth, not effort, not morality, not even the tutelage of the right master
Oh and by the way, by no means am I glazing DAP, in fact I think they're due for a hard lesson this coming GE
Their supporter base is slowly realizing that the "Chinese rights defenders" are in cahoots with the same people threatening those rights
I agree that "Malay Unity" is exclusionary, and I think one reason why it exists is that Malays are jealous of how DAP has the overwhelming support of the Chinese
But the reason why that support exists in the first place?
Is in response to Malay racism
Malays don't need to be united. Malaysian Chinese don't need to be united. Malaysians don't need to be united. There should be room for a diversity of views, yes, even right-wing nationalistic ones. No one should ever silence the others

Enough with the 'Malay Unity' election pact slogans. Malaysia is not a one-race nation. When you exclude Chinese, Indian, and other voices, you aren’t building unity—you’re building a wall. We need a 'Malaysian Unity' pact that actually represents all of us. 🇲🇾
You’re really missing out if you haven’t watched “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.”
It’s the best TV show I’ve ever seen. Literally #1. DS9 is unequaled. If you only take one TV recommendation from me, make it that one.
You’re right and everyone disagreeing with you is wrong
There is no scenario in which a Malay Muslim calling a non-Muslim “kafir” to their face isn’t hostile
Which is why they don’t do it - they only use the term online. Cos they’re bloody cowards
Also, at some point you're gonna have to learn some very state-specific words, i.e. from Kelantan, Terengganu, Kedah, Perak etc.
(I still don't know where "awat" comes from nor if the person who said it to me is actually from there)
Dear Malaysian Chinese, if you want to sound natively fluent in Malay, opt for these words in your daily convo instead:
Kerana ➔ Sebab
Kita ➔ Kita-orang
Jika ➔ Kalau
Tak payah ➔ Takyah
Mengapa ➔ Kenapa
Bagaimana/Macam mana ➔ Camne
I learnt these bila kerja KKM hehe 😛
Malaysia getting called out for their hypocrisy in the sumud torture case while actively denying refugees basic rights and safety back home that any non citizen deserves what more victims of genocide
Wrong
This kamaghul person must not have much working experience. Companies will absolutely exploit interns. They will give them the dullest and most time-consuming tasks, usually ones in which the intern will learn nothing about their field of study
Kalau kau intern, company tak perlukan kau pun, kau yang perlukan company.
Rasuah dan korupsi, bukan anak muda je yang rasa, yang tua pun sengsara. Tapi apa kaitan pulak dengan intern tak dapat elaun ni? 😅
Here’s an easy way to either prove me right or wrong
Are universities going around begging companies to accept interns?
Or are COMPANIES begging UNIVERSITIES to send them students for internships?
