It's Not Right but It's Okay* - Whitney Houston

SCENARIO #1

is RACIST!!!! See here, here and here. Do you still wanna support such a racist?


How can a bank openly discriminates against legal firms based on racial grounds??? It's not right but in Malaysia, it's OK as the law in many cases discriminates on racial grounds. It only took the inteference of the Cabinet to stop such racist practice by that bank.

SCENARIO #2

Article 160(2) of the Federal Constitution provides as follows:-

"Malay" means a person who professes the religion of Islam, habitually
speaks the Malay language, conforms to Malay custom and -

(a) was before Merdeka Day born in the Federation or in Singapore or born
of parents one of whom was born in the Federation or in Singapore, or was on
that day domiciled in the Federation or in Singapore;

or

(b) is the issue of such a person.

(Emphasis added)

Therefore if a Malay converts out of Islam, he loses his ethnicity!!!!!

How can one lose his/her ethnicity - stop being a Chinese or an Indian or a Scot or an Aussie - because of his/her theological beliefs??? It's not right, but in Malaysia (probably one of 2 countries in the whole world), it's OK when it comes to Malays because the Constitution allows it.

Well, the law may say it's OK, but it doesn't make it right - so it's not OK for me.
