Immigrant Vs Citizen

This is an interesting topic but an angry one to talk about in Malaysia. I'm not racist but living in a country that smells like it!

Let me ask, what do you know about the word 'immigrant' and 'citizen'? Can you describe the meanings? Don't fret, I will tell you.

1. Immigrant - A person who leaves one country to settle permanently in another.

2. Citizen - A resident of a city or town, especially one entitled to vote and enjoy other privileges there or,
- A person owing loyalty to and entitled by birth or naturalization to the protection of a state or nation.

Yeah, my grandparents were immigrants. They came from China. My parents were born here in Malaysia. Of course that qualified them as citizens of Malaysia. And I'm the second generation, definitely a Malaysian by nature. My kiddo is the third generation, 200% pure Malaysian - just to reiterate my point here. So, we have all the rights of being Malaysians- citizens of Malaysia. What are the rights of a citizen? Enjoy the same things (privileges) like other fellow Malaysians, am I right? No color difference or whatsoever. Am I right?

But in Malaysia, we are more unique - perhaps from a negative perspective. There are privileges accorded to some and not to all, regardless of your being born and bred here, called citizens of Malaysia. Your rights are not equal. Never mind, to some they have been living here till their death still not being accepted as equal. Never mind, some Malaysians are very understanding and tolerate with the unequal rights and many biased decisions by the government or its policies. They are patient too, since 50 years ago they are still living with it, not equal but still supportive! Last but not least, if they don't like it much here, can exercise the 'option' to go back where their grandparents belong!!!

Cry till the cows come home, you can. Some citizens must be superior than the others no matter what, so to enjoy the privileges like nobody business. That's what our policy makers think and have decided long time ago. This is also non-negotiable. You will be condemned if you make some noise.

But hey, we don't take away anything from anybody. To the shallow thinkers, you can continue to enjoy your "enshrined" privileges, we take nothing from you. You want all Malaysians to vote you into power, regardless of colors but make the policies based on one color - what the heck! Malaysia truly need a visionary leader to replace the current bunch of morons.

It is a sad sad sad situation in Malaysia now. Not only she is being played out from her original goals 50 years ago but set out to be racist as it is now, 50 years later.

Can the non-racist politicians please stand up, please stand up!
