And in this regard considering the position of the Malays in Singapore, they are doing very well regardless of the fact that they are given the same treatment just like other Singaporeans.<br /><br />Also look at the situation in the United States of America today. For the first time in its history, it has got a Black president, Barack Obama. Martin Luther King Jr. fought for the Blacks to be given equal opportunities. His dream was for Blacks to enjoy the same prospects like ordinary Americans.<br /><br />In Malaysia the context is different and as mentioned by Dr. Azly,this might be due to historical, political and cultural influences. However, it appears that the concept applied in Singapore and the United States are working effectively for the Malays and Blacks respectively.<br /><br />So the question, what is it? The answer is equal opportunities and the human spirit. The Malay Dilemma by Tun Mahathir disproves the myth that Malays are not smart or intelligent people. What they required is to have equal opportunities in terms of facilities, etc. so that they will be able to compete fairly.<br /><br />The other point is the human spirit. The indomitable desire to succeed. It is race blind and is part of every man and woman. This spirit will only blossom if it is nurtured positively. Otherwise it will just lay dormant. And serve no useful purpose at all. The Malays need to be given the right motivation and their leaders must play a role in this.<br /><br />Dr King had a dream that the Blacks would one day be a great race and play important roles in the corridors of power. That dream had already been realised in this century.<br /><br />All Malaysians too had a wish - to see their Malay brothers stand on their own feet not because of helping hands. But because of their belief in themselves, that they have the capability to succeed in whatever they wanted to achieve.<br /><br />And as Dr. Azly put it - Rethinking the Malay Problem may be necessary to enable the Malays to meet local and global challenges. And also to put to rest Hang Tuah's fear "takkan Melayu hilang di dunia".ajoylyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18331062669086777379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11167497.post-58307414371468763602009-08-23T12:07:33.321-04:002009-08-23T12:07:33.321-04:00Dense, you blame ISLAM for all the troubles of thi...Dense, you blame ISLAM for all the troubles of this world...WHY..?<br /><br />IS the USA not to be blame at all, <br />for spreading lies and more lies and crated the BOGGEYMAN FOR THE WHOLE WORLD!<br /><br />They have successfully made the whole world hate Islam..the have made THE NON Muslims to hate Islam...<br /><br />They have even convinced you!<br /><br />Islam as a religion is pure and perfect!<br /><br />What we see are imperfections of humans...not ISLAM don't be cluttered in your thinking!<br /><br />AS FOR MALAYS IN MALAYSIA - THEY ARE A BEAUTIFUL RACE !<br /><br />BUT THE POWERS THAT BE..<br /><br />HAVE ABUSED THEIR POSITIONS TO POISON, RIPPED, RAPED AND BRAIN WASHED THE INNOCENT POOR MALAYS. <br /><br />FOR 52 YEARS THEY HAVE BEEN CONNED BY THEIR OWN KIND!<br /><br />THE AGENDA WAS VERY CRUEL AND BITTER, BUT SAY IT I MUST,<br /><br />THEY WANTED TOTAL DOMINANCE, TOTAL MONOPOLY AND TOTAL RULE OVER THE POOR AND LESS FORTUNATE! <br /><br />THEIR VERY OWN KIND DID THAT TO THEM WITHOUT EVEN BLINKING AT ALL.<br /><br />THAT IS THE TRUTH..

Your note on "hegemony" is naive and confusing and tells exactly the opposite of what Islam is. <br /><br />Can you tell us what the Koran says about the "hegemony" you mentioned?Dr. AZLY RAHMANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07437908281114330911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11167497.post-44698446632765001452009-08-20T02:27:00.121-04:002009-08-20T02:27:00.121-04:00I think you are so naive in your analysis.

How can you stereotype the whole of the genetically diverse group of malays into one stereoype, then set about criticising them without taking into account the one factor that stereotypes them... islam<br /><br />The hegemony is islamic, the bankrupcy of moral values is islamic, the poverty is islamic, the chaotic society is islamic, the failure to build an educational foundation which celebrates diversity ( and the pursuit of knowledge for the sake of knowledge) is islamic<br /><br />Look at any islamic country in the world and you will find the same scenarioMalaysia180https://www.blogger.com/profile/15631132964594875968noreply@blogger.com
