Malaysia Pizza Hut and Racism

I have lost faith and lost my little scratch of hope of what will be my future like in Malaysia. The reason why i voice out this issue, is just an opinion of what i perceived it is, of what is going to happen in the future for our so-called race "chinese" and skin color in Malaysia.

It might not be true. It maybe true. This is just a story.


Subject: Pizza Hut Malaysia- Hot Issue... must read and send to who u know

I think a boycott is in order – maybe this is Umno's cunning racist plan to keep the malays on their side and keep voting for them. They have special NEP, special discount for houses – now this. What next – maybe they can buy petrol cheaper and do not have to pay toll – just flash a songkok or something at the smart tag lane and go through free!


Hello everyone. I have some interesting news. I was in Pizza Hut (Sunway Pyramid) yesterday and suddenly my friend showed me the bill.

The bill contains normal things la (number of person, bill. number and what is ordered). But, what shocked me is that they had space called ' RACE ' .I guess since we were all wearing tudung, they labelled us as 0, which means MALAY.. Later, when we went to pay…we had no service charge and no tax charge.

Still in shock, I peeped into another bill in the counter. In that bill, under the race space, it was labelled as C (which I guess means Chinese). That bill had service and tax charges!!! I started investigating.. One of my Sri Lankan friends was labelled as Indian it seems and she also had to pay service and tax charges a few weeks back. What I ' m wondering is that…does anyone know about this? I find it rather strange that they charge service and tax charge using racein Pizza Hut, out of all the places!

WE SHOULD NOT GO EAT AT PIZZA HUT!



But, what i hate the most, in the bigger picture, is that no-one in the government and people of higher position in the power do anything to prevent and protect the minorities in Malaysia. The races of Chinese, Indians and etc, who are so-called as "pendatang" or immigrants in Malaysia, in the context of the government, will be forever bullied and harassed emotionally and financially.

Aren't we Malaysians who holds Malaysian passport and i am a MALAYSIAN and borned in MALAYSIA. For god sake. I do not really discriminate my fellow friends, in regardless of skin colors and races, for which ever belief and religion they hold. We are progressing in the new era going through the new millennium in the 21st century and here we are, still stuck in the era of "races". Your race or my race kinda mentality.

What would be the future outlook of our people, in regardless of races in Malaysia? Our talents are determined by our skin color and races? Due to that our ancestors comes from China? WTF?

Don't the government realised in this globalization and worldwide economic is coming down on us and one of the way to move forward is to learn from our neighbour, Singapore, who is by far smaller country without much natural resources but still able to move ahead in the global economy, regionally? Talent and people are one of the biggest investment that can propelled any company, organization and countries ahead!

At least i know that, if i have the talent and the skills necessary to excel in the market and contribute to the citizens, i should be more patriotic and come back to motherland and make good use of it? But, what is the general perception of the overall Malaysians in regards to their future in Malaysia?

No. I am being pooled and categorized under my race, a chinese. Even in Pizza Hut.
How the hell, am i going to convince myself that i have a bright future in Malaysia? Please enlighten me ....

>_<


p.s: I know that American has this problem about racism as well. Its just that the government and the politicians somehow somewhat rather might come out and says that minorities human rights as being looked up as well. Obama is now the 1st black president of the United States of America. Changes, people!


p.s2: I know that UK has this problem as well. But do you know that, they are being treated with respect as a HUMAN rather than categorizing them under RACES. Try talk to any policeman in UK and they are most likely to treat you as a human not "you chinese?"


Fuck!
