What If?

I seriously don't understand why the UiTM students are reacting in such a manner? Let’s put your intellectual property to use for a moment. Let’s reverse the table and see how the Malay's would react if it is the other way round? Assuming that the non-malays are the majority and the Malay are the minorities in this country. For the past 50 years all the privileges were given to the non-malays; in terms of licenses, business opportunities, admission to the universities, scholarships and even a university solely for the non-malays. How would you react now if the non-malays were to march down the streets demanding that do not play with non-malay rights and sentiment? The Higher Education Minister warns the MB not to abuse the rights of the non-malays, the VC mentioned that this is the "last bastion" for the non-malays and we'll march all the 250,000 students of UiTM with another 350,000 alumni members. Do not challenge the rights of the non-malays. He's suppose to be an educator, how funny! Just wondering!

Assuming since the majority of the race is non-malays and the federal religion is not Islam. Malay Muslim bodies were snatched from the families and been buried in non-muslim cemetery. During a divorce process your family does not inherit any wealth that your father left behind as your father converted to another religion without your knowledge and under the non-malay religious law your father's marriage with your mother is void and they do not recognise the legality of your mother's marriage neither nor your legal right as his children. What would you do?

In the so called national type school one non-malay teacher abuses the malay students with demeaning words and your out cry lead to the no-malay teacher to be transferred to another school worst still to a "Smart School"! The Education Minister who happens to be a non-malay keeps mum! How interesting to know how would the malay react now?

So, would you have waited for 50 years hoping to be respected as a legal citizen of this country which allows the right to practice the religion of your choice and enjoy the same privileges as the non-malays? I guess you will never understand how it feels to be let down by the government and worse still by the so call ministers "yang berjiwa rakyat". One even went on to claim that he is the leader of the all races and not for a particular race!

You'll never understand how it feels to be told “orang asing", "balik negara kamu" and for the simple fact you never been a minority in this country nor never been on the other side.Wouldn't you like to know?
