We are Malaysians of Cina origin.
Not Chinese from China.
Not Chinese from Taiwan.
Yes, we do work hard. Very hard.
We work many hours and skip lunch.
We have no time off for tea, prayers, etc.
We go back late, take lower pay but when we get our bonuses we deserve it.
I have seen other colleagues, who take tea time, share fashion ideas, sell Cosway and Avon plus a host of other things during office hours.
More medical leave than most of us.
Fridays we work throughout lunch to get work done due to lack of time put in by the others.
So what’s this?
Chinese are rich?
Some are, but not all.
Now you see who owns the best houses and drive the better cars.
They are NOT CHINESE.
Who buys more gold and jewelry?
NOT THE CHINESE.
Who takes more international holidays?
NOT THE CHINESE.
Who has scholarships easily?
NOT THE CHINESE.
Who fails exams and takes them again and again?
NOT THE CHINESE.
Who doesn’t pay the PTPTN Loans?
NOT THE CHINESE?
Who are CEOS of banks and big companies?
NOT THE CHINESE.
NOT THE CHINESE.
I have a long list…
But the answer is
NOT THE CHINESE.
Are we envious of others?
NOT THE CHINESE.
We work harder.
Or we go out of the country that does not value us.
And we get better recognition elsewhere due to meritocracy.
Who is sinking the country?
NOT THE CHINESE.
Now, you know the answer?
