Discrimination In Malaysia 


By Ramza

2006/02/24


List of racial discriminations in Malaysia, practiced by government as well as government agencies:
 

This list is an open secret. Best verified by government itself because it got the statistics.

This list is not in the order of importance, that means the first one on the list is not the most important and the last one on the list does not mean least important.

This list is a common knowledge to a lot of Malaysians, especially those non-Malays (Chinese, Ibans, Kadazans, Orang Asli, Indians, etc) who are racially discriminated.

Figures in this list are estimates, and please take it as a guide only. Government of Malaysia has the most correct figures. Is government of Malaysia too ashamed to publish their racist acts by publishing racial statistics?

This list covers a period of about 48 years since independence (1957).

List of racial discriminations (Malaysia):

Out of all the 5 major banks, only one bank is multi-racial, the rest are controlled by Malays

99% of Petronas directors are Malays

3% of Petronas employees are Chinese

99% of 2000 Petronas gasoline stations are owned by Malays

100% all contractors working under Petronas projects must be bumis status

0% of non-Malays staffs are legally required in Malay companies. But there must be 30% Malays staffs in Chinese companies.

5% of all new intake for government police, nurses, army, is non-Malays.

2% is the present Chinese staff in Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF), drop from 40% in 1960.

2% is the percentage of non-Malays government servants in Putrajaya. But Malays make up 98%

7% is the percentage of Chinese government servants in the whole government (in 2004), drop from 30% in 1960

95% of government contracts are given to Malays

100% all business licensees are controlled by Malay government e.g. Taxi permits, Approved permits, etc

80% of the Chinese rice millers in Kedah had to be sold to Malay controlled Bernas in 1980s. Otherwise, life is make difficult for Chinese rice millers

100 big companies set up, owned and managed by Chinese Malaysians were taken over by government, and later managed by Malays since 1970s e.g. UTC, UMBC, MISC, etc

At least 10 Chinese owned bus companies (throughout Malaysia, throughout 40 years) had to be sold to MARA or other Malay transport companies due to rejection by Malay authority to Chinese application for bus routes and rejection for their application for new buses

2 Chinese taxi drivers were barred from driving in Johor Larkin bus station. There are about 30 taxi drivers and 3 are Chinese in October 2004. Spoiling taxi club properties was the reason given

0 non-Malays are allowed to get shop lots in the new Muar bus station (November 2004)

8000 billions RM is the total amount the government channeled to Malays pockets through ASB, ASN, MARA, privatisation of government agencies, Tabung Haji etc, through NEP over 34 years period

48 Chinese primary schools closed down since 1968 – 2000

144 Indian primary schools closed down since 1968 – 2000

2637 Malay primary schools built since 1968 – 2000
