Malay-sians & the dons

Stop calling "Indons"; that derogatory!

NST Reports:

Umno Youth deputy chief Khairy Jamaluddin said most Malaysians were unaware that the term was not used in Indonesia and that Indonesians were offended by its usage here.

Speaking at the Malaysian-Indonesian (Malindo) Dialogue 2008, he urged "Malay-sians" to be more sensitive to the feelings of Indonesians.

"The Malaysian media should lead the way by doing away with the term, to avoid causing ill feelings."

Khairy said words and terms which caused anger or hurt a person's feelings should be avoided as they could be used by irresponsible parties to fan discontentment.

Indonesian delegate Hamkam Noor said the term "Indonesian" denoted the identity of the country's people and the truncated word was belittling to them.

Rafidah Aziz said Malay privileges 'will still be championed'

The championing of Malay privileges should not end because the economic environment is always changing, Minister of International Trade and Industry Datuk Seri Rafidah Aziz said.

Speaking to a gathering of Gagasan Badan Ekonomi Melayu (Gabem) members, she said the issue of Malay rights had to continue as Malaysia's economy grew and adapted to changes and external forces.

"Some people ask why the Malays are forever asking for their economic rights. This is because the economic structure changes over time.

"In the 1970s, Malays debated among themselves on how to get contracts to build schools or mosques. There was nothing else because the economy was that way. It was dependent on government contracts.

"Now, we have a new generation of Malays who are not debating about winning government contracts, but about how to enter new fields, like information technology.

"They are also looking at winning contracts abroad, taking their business overseas.

"It is a different economic context. So, that is why the debate should continue," Rafidah said.

So, what is Rafidah saying? Is she telling us that the Malays are not only looking for privileges in domestic projects but that the privilege is extended to international projects? But how? Does she mean that the government will be providing the projects abroad or that the government will be seeking the other countries to grant special privileges and rights to the Malays? Would the international companies abroad be willing to succumb to the pressures exerted by the Malaysian government? Would European countries and Americans grant 30% privileges to our Malays to participate in their economy? Is this a demand? Or, is this a request to the international entities?

What is this?

VIP worried?
