‘We are not merely heading towards misfortune but are actually in the midst of it...’

Excellent insights into the issue of institutionalised racism and how such an insider culture thrives while protecting and promoting the interests of select groups of self-serving nationalists.

And imagine the prevalence of an irrational psychological sense of superiority and inferiority bred wittingly and through propaganda and other instruments of persuasion and terror and the despondency ends in a moan ‘cry my beloved country’.When it is an institutionalised nurturing of racism, you need to address the institutions and the racists who maintain these. How do you do that?

Institutionalised racialism is the scourge and bane of Malaysia. The elite Malays, aided and enabled by their equally corrupt non-Malay cronies, have taken the Malays - a gentle and kind race - for a ride. The time for waking up is long overdue.Chandran is talking about "the long run", I think it is already too late. The young and middle-class Malays are already indoctrinated. This is clearly seen in social media comments.

They are around but they have been severely suppressed. As it is, there is not much hope of any change."For change to happen, Malays must break silence on the racist system," said Chandran. "The government, being an instrument of institutionalised racism, is responsible for splitting Malaysia apart. And, perhaps first of all, for the Malays, all Malays - who may at last manage to liberate themselves from their intellectual and psychological fealty to a bastardised neo-feudalism.Chandran hits the nail right on the head even though most of us who face the discrimination he mentioned are in familiar territory.

It’s unlikely and unrealistic to think they want to lose their privileges of being pampered from cradle to grave.Chandran, what can I say except that I share your views. However, I am unfortunately not so sanguine about the prospect of getting middle-class Malays to spearhead the abandonment of the current race-based policies as many of them have benefitted from it and they do not want to be labelled as "pengkhainat" .

One fact need to be placed right is 'there is no such thing as institutionalised racism'. Don't place phrases where it do not belong. Make detail studies by intelectual individuals (all races, including sabah, sarawak & org asli) Few sentences will not solve big uncertainties.

Come on. These Pas-Umno-Bersatu-MN-PN-BN-PH++ murtad bastards learnt to become racists. Of course they can unlearn racism. Will they unlearn racism? Of course all these bastards will not unlearn racism.
