PANAS!!! Sekolah jenis CINA punca utama jurang kaum.. - Tun Mahathir

Malaysian Chinese have stopped supporting the government because they no longer feel they are getting their share of projects, former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said.

The former prime minister looked back on his two decades in power in a May interview at his office in Putrajaya, the showcase administrative capital he built in the 1990s and one of the “mega-projects” that helped define his regime.

Chinese and Indians make up a third of the population but have become increasingly unhappy about an official policy that discriminates against them in favour of majority Malays.

“Yes, it’s worse now,” Dr Mahathir says of the racial divide in Malaysia. “During my time, I could rely on Chinese support for my party. Now the government is threatened with losing Chinese support.”

He noted that his government two decades ago bowed to Chinese demands to have their own schools taught in the Chinese language, and said it showed how accommodating it was to minority races.

“Despite having a national (Malay) language, they don’t teach in the national language. They can’t speak the national language.”

But he acknowledged that having separate schools had become a major factor in the racial divide.
“We would like them to come to national schools.

We even suggested you can have your Chinese school, you can have your Tamil school, but why not put all three schools on one campus?

So they can eat together, they can play together, and each gets to know that in the real world they have to interact with different races. But the Chinese say no. They say if you do that, we won’t support the government.”

Mahathir also ensured Chinese support by doling out government contracts to them and their Malay partners, which critics said encouraged corruption and cronyism.

Mahathir’s successors shelved big projects to pare down a widening fiscal deficit, at the cost of Chinese votes, Dr Mahathir said. “For some reason or another, the moment I stepped down, all the projects were stopped . . . When you stop big government projects, a lot of people, well their businesses will go down.” — Reuters



p/s: Gua sangat setuju dengan apa yang Tun Mahathir kata.. Memang selama ni sekolah jenis kebangsaan cina ni adalah punca utama perbezaan kaum dalam negara..

Jangan tipu lah kalau kata benda ni tak betul beb.. Kebanyakan pelajar cina yang tak masuk ke Sekolah Kebangsaan, bahasa melayu dorang adalah amat teruk..

Ada sesetengah tu.., langsung tak boleh bercakap dalam bahasa kebangsaan..

Sekarang, puak-puak cina ni dengan tak malunya minta hak samarata didalam Malaysia.. Padahal dorang tak nak berkongsi apa yang dorang ada..

Tengoklah macam mana dorang monopoli bidang ekonomi dan industri.., ada ke dorang nak berkongsi dengan kaum lain dalam negara? Nak interview kat syarikat dorang pun kena fasih cakap cina beb...

So.., gua rasa selagi cina-cina kafir tu masih pertahankan sekolah jenis kebangsaan dorang, selagi tu lah dorang pentingkan kaum dorang sendiri.. Tak rasis ke tu bai?

Jadi salah ke kalau bangsa melayu kat dalam Malaysia ni rasis jugak?
