Discussion of phantom voters goes right to the heart of ‘ethnic’ Malaysia. In a country where approximately 40% of the population is non-indigenous and the origins of the so called ‘indigenous population’ are debatable, is it possible to spot a ‘real’ Malaysian by their (racial) features? Shouldn’t we be moving away from these sorts of attitudes?
I was a professional in Malaysia, and I left the country more than twenty years ago. I do visit Malaysia almost every year because of the food, family, friends or as a gateway to another Asian Country. I left Malaysia because of the government racist policy entrenced in the NEP, and I forsaw there is no future for my children or any young ethic Chinese or Indians.
The country I now called home practise transparency, and gave anyone irrespective of race, religion or sexual orientation a fair chance in society, jobs and education. This is not so as in Malaysia.
My siblings and dependents and non Malay friends who are still living in Malaysia had plans to move to another country. Mind you, these are professions, thus the continuation of braindrained, a liability to Malaysia. I have spoke to every non Malay Malaysian in my adopted country, they share the same opinion on what I had said. As long as the government still practised what they has practised since the creation of the NEP, Malaysia will continue to be a backward country in terms of economy and human rights. Well, look at the ringgit compared to Singapore. Twenty five years or more ago, the currency is stronger than Singapore, look at it now. Well, I guess there isn’t enough smart people to stir the country around.
The Malaysian Election Commissioner has not been independent since the attempted sacking of Tuan Albakri, the first and only independent Commissioner, in the early 1960s. His 1960 Delineation Report, though seen as being equitable, was viewed by the Alliance to be against its interest. Albakri sucessfully challenged the decision legally and was reinstated. He was allowed to serve out his term of office. The Alliance Govt then amended the constitution to take away the independent powers of the Commission and made its future recommendations and reports subject to Parliament. It then rejected the 1960 Report. Commissioners since then have thus seen the light…….
It makes you wonder about vote counting fraud when 1)results from sarawak and sabah(rural places) are announced early 2)it has been thrre hours and the rest of the results are not yet announced.
Love cannot buy reality and put food on table. Patriotic fervour dies when passion is gone. When a government fails to be equitable, there is no patriotic love, only the blind will follow. Love Malaysia is a two way street, unless you have no respect for yourself, I wonder what else is to give you respect. The rort has gone on for 56 years, it is difficult to change
I cannot disagree more with your comments. I left home 21 years ago, married with my kids here in Australia. There is no hope for non Malays to succeed in a lop sided politics nation, even in the 1980s I have seen dreams shattered, ambitions capped and hopes faded. I aspired to leave Malaysia before I even tried STPM and I did. I am now citizen elsewhere and have been so for over 15 years.
Thanks PM Najib. I was questioning the credibility of the electoral process but now you have made a point of reassuring me I’m feeling more confident… Hmmmm…
A salute to all the malaysians that voted today. This electionis indeed different. I hope we get a change of govt but whatever the outcome may there be no disruptions, no harm to the ordinary people. Let us all be calm.
