Malaysia is not like Northern Ireland, Najib Razak!

Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak said to BBC’s Robin Brant:

“There (in Northern Ireland) you’re just talking about the difference in being Roman Catholic or Protestant. “Here you are talking about difference in skin colour, you’re talking about difference in race, you’re talking about difference in religion, culture. It will take time.” (original BBC report)

What the hell is he on about?!!! The problem in Malaysia is that we have a bumiputera (native) and non-bumiputera (non-native) discrimination issue in all aspects of our legislation. If the Malaysian government follows the footstep of its Indonesian neighbour and abolish this bumiputera discrimination, I bet the so-called ethic tension would go away pretty swiftly!
