Racist remarks

This week, there were many racist issues I heard over the media.

First, I heard one UMNO politician passing comments over TV3 news saying that, "If they (Selangor government) are serious about the pig farming project, why don't they build it in Pulau Ketam? Pulau Ketam has more Chinese."

On pig farming project:
Star, Expert help on impact of pig farm project.

Then, I was shock to hear the Kelantan Crown Prince Tengku Faris Petra passing some racist remarks as well.

Read here:
Star, Tengku Faris: Don't question Malay rights.
Malaysiakini, Tengku Faris: Non-Malays should not seek equality.



I was equally shock to see such picture posted in blogs.

Read:
Sean-the-man, Non-Malays are 'musuh dalam selimut', I am tired of this shit.

Malaysia Today, also posted such picture together with the URL of the blogger who first posted it.

This has caused the poor student to go into total panic as her blog had a sudden increased hits with many people passing comments on. So, she decided to delete the posting and urged those with such picture to delete it as well. But, then it was too late.

I am sad that, even after 50 years, the non-Malays are kept on be reminded everyday that they are only 2nd class citizens. So, if the Malaysian with Chinese skin or Malaysian with Indian skin don't like it, they can always go back to China or India.

What's more disturbing was, other non-Malays bumiputra like the Sabahans, Sarawakians and other indigenous races are also included in this category, non-Malay.
