Kaum bumiputera kat Malaysia ni dapat kelebihan yang dinamakan Hak Istimewa. Hak ni memang ada sejak Malaysia ditubuhkan. Kebanyakan orang melayu rasa memang patut wujud hak ni. Kebanyakan orang bukan melayu pulak rasa tak patut wujud. Kita bahaskan sama ada patut atau tak, pada hari lain.
Sekarang, jom kita bincangkan dulu sama ada kaum bumiputera mampu bersaing tanpa hak istimewa ni (tongkat). Soalannya: Melayu ready ke hidup tanpa tongkat?
Golongan 1: Ya, Bumiputera memang ready!
Ada orang-orang yang saya jumpa, yakin bumiputera memang dah bersedia. Bagi diorang, kalau takde bantuan pun takpe. Kebanyakan golongan ni orang muda-muda. Termasuklah graduan-graduan muda yang bersemangat dan tak sabar nak mengubah dunia. Sesetengah tu siap salahkan bantuan kerajaan. Bagi diorang, sebab kena tolong lah, bumiputera manja dan malas. Diorang yakin, kalau dah takde bantuan, barulah bumiputera boleh tunjukkan keupayaan sebenar dan bersaing.
Golongan 2: Tak, Bumiputera belum ready.
Ada yang lain pulak yakin bumiputera belum bersedia lagi untuk hidup tanpa bantuan. Kebanyakan golongan ni orang berumur. Hari tu, saya minum teh sambil borak panjang dengan clients saya, pegawai-pegawai kerajaan pangkat atasan. Bagi diorang, bumiputera belum ready. Perlu masa, sekurang-kurang nya 10 tahun lagi. Alasan diorang: ekonomi malaysia dipegang oleh bangsa lain, jadi projek-projek akan lebih cenderung bertukar tangan sesama mereka (bukan racist, tapi sebab sociological factors). Bila dah wujud syarikat-syarikat besar milik bumiputera, barulah boleh bumiputera bersaing, sebab dah ada kuasa-kuasa mantap yang boleh bantu sebarkan wealth.
Golongan 1 ada tanya saya:
Kalau asyik kena suap je, sampai bila nak pandai makan sendiri?
Golongan 2 plak tanya saya:
Kalau takde bantuan, kat mana nak dapat projek? Nak harapkan dapat projek dari Petronas je? Kerajaan dah tolong pun takleh berjaya, ada hati nak tolak pertolongan?
Ada sape nak tolong jawabkan?
Kekuatan sebenar usahawan melayu akan teruji kerana perkongsian pasaran secara terbuka dan tanpa perlindungan atau jaminan disebalik label “BUMIPUTERA” dan “30%”.

Cuba kita tanya bebudak UiTM. Tu lubuk muda-mudi Melayu tu. Hari tu MB Selangor suggest UiTM bukak kuota sket to non-bumi habis kecoh satu Malaysia diorang bikin havoc.
Saya ni belajar kat ‘kampung’ je. Kat MMU Melaka. Bukit Beruang nama tempatnya. So, saya dah biasa dah bersaing dgn bangsa2 lain from Malaysia and lebih 70 bangsa dari negara2 lain, termasuklah bersaing dgn beberapa beruang kat situ.
Hopefully kita boleh dengar apa kata bebudak UiTM in this blog.

we know many successful bumiputra entrepreneur yang despite being a 100% bumi company, don’t depend on gov contract, grant, etc.
tapi at same time mmg ramai lagi yang memerlukan tongkat ni. so siapa yang rasa tak perlu tayah la bising2 nak suruh gov remove the tongkat for those in need.
04 May 09 at 10:30 am #So… in other words…
We do apply for the government grant, and that means we are not ready yet?
Haha… Juz Kidding…
I as ex-UiTM student ‘not proud to be one’…

There are some issues regarding non-bumi to UiTM…
Frankly, idea tuh memang bagus…
I was in Polytechnic once, and I know how does it feels…
But, to be fair… from my experience when I was in Penang looking for part-time jobs… apa yang diorang cari ialah their own races or Ch1n3s3…
And what can we say bout that?
The Special Privilege is in the Malaysian constitution. So I have no other choice but to live with it. But it’s fine with me, I get along fine with my Bumi friends.
With the Special Privileges, I believe Bumiputera has advantage in business. The thing is, not many Bumiputera are taking advantage of it. But I’m not in business, so I don’t know much.
Amin, you mention Chinese prefers Chinese, yes true, but not because of racism.

5-year old Kids hang out with other 5-year olds, not 70year olds. Rockers hang out with Rock bands, not Boy bands.
If a typical Malay Guy has more Malay and Male friends, is he practising both racism and sexism too?
07 May 09 at 5:59 pm #To remove the special right of Malay? ha ha ha..
who ever propose or so willingly to act on it is just a ‘political suicide’…. why? take the uitm students for example who paraded the protest just to show their ego.. sorry to say this even though i’m an ex-uitm.. i really feel sorry for them..
I truly respect bumiputeras that willingly to work without the assistance of the government..
but think carefully before saying this ” saya bole jer berjaya tanpa bantuan kerajaan” … even if you were not being directly given a contract/work from government.. indirectly some of the policies since our independent day had protected bumiputera’s in other ways..
Malay still have a long way to go before we they are ready…10 years is too short.. some say its good to open UITM for non-bumis to create competitiveness. But i still think that the majority of malays will only sit back n relax about non bumi achieving good grades in uitm (if it were to happen). Why i say this because a lot of bumis in Uitm still take things for granted. Opportunity is there but not taken.
just my two cents… feel free to comment
