The blatant racism (favouritism) of Malay Malaysians is endemic throughout the country in; education, government service, and sadly in private companies too. Until this is stopped, how can Malaysia really bound ahead in giant steps? The Malays are NOT lazy, and the Indian/Chinese are NOT the cause of hoarding wealth for themselves. My many trips to Malaysia are always tainted by the rampant racism and "us versus them" attitudes there - of the LOCALS, not foreigners. So sad. http://www.tonyfernandesblog.com/main.php/2009/07/15/what-does-1malaysia-mean-to-you#c1049 Sat, 01 Aug 2009 08:56:21 +0000 purple haze from Malaysia wrote c1012@http://www.tonyfernandesblog.com/ It is sad but interesting to note some one's comment on another blog on the rallies on 1 August ; "Somebody should show Najib pics and videos of the composition of the people on the streets today. People of all races, colors and creed gathering together, standing together, covering and protecting each other all for something they believe in. This is the REAL 1MALAYSIA.

Rest in Peace, Yasmin Ahmad. Your legacy in film will be remembered by all Malaysians and there are still some of us that share in your dream of just being human beings. http://www.tonyfernandesblog.com/main.php/2009/07/15/what-does-1malaysia-mean-to-you#c1007 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 02:32:58 +0000 purple haze from Malaysia wrote c1005@http://www.tonyfernandesblog.com/ I apologise for posting yet another comment but it is getting difficult to feel "Malaysian" and to ponder what 1Malaysia means to me, these days. Can the board of trustees also educate ex-PM Tun Dr Mahathir in the concept of 1Malaysia (see your own findings in your blog posting) ? In his blog, he seems to be saying that Malaysia should be dominated by a certain ethnic group. Is this correct ? Without trying to put the members of the Board of Trustees in a spot, a simple "yes" or "no" answer will suffice to determine if you feel you can achieve great things with 1Malaysia, since the mainstream media and senior politicians seem to be against this very noble idea. http://www.tonyfernandesblog.com/main.php/2009/07/15/what-does-1malaysia-mean-to-you#c1005 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 17:11:56 +0000 tsukubalien from Malaysia wrote c1004@http://www.tonyfernandesblog.com/ 1Malaysia is one good idea. But instead of focusing on changing mentality, why not focus on thinking positive despite everything that's been going on around us. As any other human being on earth, we all have a choice of being able to think positive, accept the present circumstances but with every intention to focus on positive thoughts and eventually bring about positive outcomes to our well-being, our confidence as a nation, our deep culture perspectives on our strength as a diverse community, the ability to look at one matter from different angles (given our multicultural backgrounds) ... etc. We definitely need a positive and humane approach towards FAIRNESS policies in the country. Lets leave unproductive complaints behind and instead FOCUS on more productive solutions towards the goals of 1Malaysia!

Has the 1Malaysia Foundation any resources to educate this person ? Don't you think that for 1Malaysia to succeed, the mainstream media have a huge part to play ? Perhaps therein lies the first priority of the 1Malaysia Foundation. http://www.tonyfernandesblog.com/main.php/2009/07/15/what-does-1malaysia-mean-to-you#c1003 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 03:24:30 +0000 johnz from Malaysia wrote c1002@http://www.tonyfernandesblog.com/ We can start by having FAIRNESS in property and housing area. Currently, Mr Abu pays only 93% to buy a house. But, Mr AhChong, and Mr SivaMuthu pays 100% price to buy a house! This is certainly not fair. with the 1Malaysia, lets have fairness to all races in property and housing area. http://www.tonyfernandesblog.com/main.php/2009/07/15/what-does-1malaysia-mean-to-you#c1002 Fri, 17 Jul 2009 02:30:05 +0000 raj_s from Malaysia wrote c1001@http://www.tonyfernandesblog.com/ 1Malaysia is not just about blurring of racial lines. After all none of us could choose where or which race or what opportunity we were born into, so lets celebrate our differences with justice and equality, respect and love. 1Malaysia starts with you and me right down at the level of our neighborhood. When as individuals and families we start to know each other better by starting to build greater bonds of friendship by working and playing together. 1Malaysia is about Malaysians working together for the betterment of one another in all forms of opportunity and service. Let us take pride in that we have uplifted the betterment of our neighbor, brother and friend. Perhaps then as 1Malaysia we could appreciate the fact that in the grand scheme of things, we are all part of one great humanity. http://www.tonyfernandesblog.com/main.php/2009/07/15/what-does-1malaysia-mean-to-you#c1001
