Subject: Racist Univeristy Malaya
The racial card in Malaysia is never ending! Take a look below!
This is a letter from University Malaya's head of Graduates to all the students (maybe certain race only). The first paragraph is okay.. Nothing much.. Wait till we get to the 2nd paragraph of this horrendous letter!
Here it is below! For those not bothered in stressing your brains too much in understanding the written malay, I'll do the translation:
Therefore, I as the Head of Graduates of University of Malaya would like to advice all our fellow graduates of University of Malaya to combine forces and prepare ourselves together with all the necessary knowledge and preparation before we continue our fight in the actual battle field. This advice implies mainly to our Malay Graduates. We must treasure the sacrifices made by our ancestors which tried so hard to ensure that Tanah Melayu ( Malay Land ) is free from the intrusion of alien races. We must not fall into the category of those who forgets their roots until they will be taken over by other races. Graduates must prove themselves that we are capable and the best choice to take over the throne of governing the country in the future. This implies with the theme of MPMUM Progressive, Dynamic, Professional. There is nothing more important that can compared to our always-sensitive and improving Graduates. I also would like to advice all Malay Graduates to prepare ourselves in facing all sorts of unpredicted challenges that may occur in near future, relating to the rise of our fellow citizens, in particular to the non-Malay races. Don't let ourselves slack and allow our "enemies under the blankets to attack us" (direct translation from the Malay idiom). Don't allow our Malaysia to fall into the hands of those who are irrelevant.
ENDwell, draw your own conclusion. This doesn't augur too well for Malaysians...regardless of the democratic progress it made.

UM is probably the foremost university in malaysia. for it to take such a (racial) stand and being an influential institution in the malaysia landscape, i am surprised that this sort of letter is allowed.
i had the opportunity to visit UM during my uni days as part of a sports exchange program and i am actually impressed with my peers there.
this highlights the vulnerability of racial tolerance and balance in malaysia. there are too many factions that will always play the racial card and when things tip over, alot of good can be undone overnight.

They boleh you see, it is that these demagogues and the old goats in malaysia politics tend to brandish their post-colonial race mentality crutch as a rotan stick to beat others with. Some are beaten so hard they became incapable like some of the minority races. And some are beaten so hard into using the same crutch as these goats.

bbc reported today that in south africa, it's apartheid part 2. only this time, it is the black immigrant from neighbouring countries like mali, somalia, etc. who went to south africa to earn a living that get the stick from the black afrikaans.
even with historical hindsight, us people are still judge others by the color of their skin.
