I'll be a second-class citizen any day...
A Concerned Malaysian Apr 18, 08 4:21pm
If you give me a choice between being a second-class citizen and the so-called Malay privileges, I would certainly be proud to be placed under category of 'second class citizen'.

In a beautiful country like Malaysia , being a second-class citizen is an honour, a class of its own and is normally associated with big luxury cars, owning/controlling all kind of businesses and conglomerates right from retail, wholesale up to the manufacturing activities and import and export.

If you happen to be a second-class citizen, you should be proud of it. Second-class citizens in other countries envy us for what we can possess or achieve in terms of economic power and the wealth of the country where one can own up to almost everything under the sun in Malaysia.

There is no one in Malaysia to compete with you what more the so-called 'first-class citizens' who practically have zero economic power. To you second-class citizens, the sky is the limit.

You have got with you economic power and you also have a growing influences on the country's political power.

One should ponder as to who owns and builds all the high-rise apartments and condominiums in this country for example?

Who owns and operates the manufacturing businesses, the hotels, the shopping complexes, the supermarkets, the distribution of goods and services and so many others?

The list is too long to mention here, you can see for yourself. So ponder all Malaysians before making up your minds on issues without first realising where we are.
