i may not be their biggest fan, but news like this about ethnic indonesian chink's being denied citizenship still is heartwrenching. to say the least.
some blame it on the dutch for their discriminatory racial policy - which is mighty convenient, and an easy scapegoat. but it's clear to see that the malays are just wanting to rid em chink's off the country. there may be other factor's, but being jealous of the latter's wealth is one oft-quoted excuse. and the reality is most of em are too poor to escape to places like the wee islet.
well, to put it bluntly, if not for the wealthier chinks' economical clout and contribution, do em natives seriously think any foreign investor would give em a toss?
as enscribed by the letter b @ January 26, 2006 12:44 PM | someone's pingedan article many years ago quoted from some malays that the chinks should go back to china - which is laughable given their long-time presence in the country. they just don't understand what the consequences are of their actions - probably the word "consequences" doesn't exist in their vocabulary. and you simply can't engage em in a logical sensible discussion.
just like those indonesian domestic helper's over ere too - they'd lie and steal anything from their wee island employers. read: chink.
