The Malays in Singapore – no crutch mentality
and this is what I read in a report today,
Survey on plight of S'pore Malays
So, which one is the truth, Singaporean Malays are happy or not?
Two things I am sure the Singaporean Malays could be proud of are that the country's national anthem is in Malay and that the country's football team (which is currently the best in South East Asia) is predominantly made up of Malay players.
Nonetheless, this is what was highlighted in the survey about how Singaporean Malays feel,
GRIEVANCES: They feel their loyalty is being questioned, face widening income gaps and feel discriminated at work
Okay, I think there is some truth to this survey.
For instance, as for the Singaporean Malays' loyalty, I have been to the Istana three times in the past and at none of those occasions that I saw a Malay security personnel on duty there.
In contrast, you may see a lot of Malay policemen at the Singapore CIQ of the Causeway.
Are they trusted to only jaga those coming and going from and to Malaysia?
If there are any Singaporean Malays among readers of this blog, I hope they may enlighten us on whether they are truly happy with the social arrangement in their country.
Maybe, we Malaysian Malays could learn something from them.
I remember several years ago during Tun M's administration and right after his resignation when Pak Lah won big in GE. Every time during GE, I asked my friends who did they vote, and they answered in a joke..."DAP" or "Rocket". Because that would never be a party to be voted. Then we all laughed as that party, I mean DAP was always being labelled as communist and very unclassy. Macam party tu bodoh sangat and tak guna! Malays used to joke about DAP in the past of how that party is so Chinese and party berak tak cebok and all. Time tu cina tak kurang ajar sgt macam skrg. Apa sudah jadi ni??
ReplyDeleteAnon 10:39, apa lu tulis, tak faham lah !! Kalau nak bantai DAP, terus terang bantai, jangan jadi macam penakut. Annie suka laki yg pandai bantai DAP punya tahu !!
DeleteI read a sad story www gudangkuning com by a clever Malay girl who won the girl scout highest honour how the Chinese governemnt took her family land they used to live for 80 years.
DeleteShould google gudangkuning to read how the chinese commit genocide on the native Malays in Singapore just like the Jews are doing to the palestin.
hello Malay are SEA palestinians
Deleteim visiting gudangkuning.com but it says "The page you are looking for is unavailable"
so how
Oops my mistake. Its GedungKuning. just google.
DeleteShe tell the story of Malays dispossesed in Singapore in her own gentle ways.
My apologies.
Yup....we are vely vely happy......Long live Lee kuan Yew .....
ReplyDeleteSingapore Malays lost their voice and rights long time ago.. Even my relatives there nak congratulate my family members yang active in politics after BN winning the election pun takut nak post in facebook. In Singapore meritocracy = malay marginalization, period. Lebih baik mati dari sokong DAP, puih!
ReplyDeleteDAP kat Malaysia-lah, yg kat Singapore tu PAP,paham.
Deletelu ni bolo la..anon 11.19 orang malaysia.mestilah rujuk pada DAPigs.tarak paham ka?
DeleteAgreed with you. It's time for us (Singapore malay) to protest in a peaceful manners. Work discrimination happens almost every day
DeleteWoi Annie, tak cukup bantai orang2 cina di Malaysia, sekarang singapork punya cina pon Annie bantai, memang terrer Annie.
ReplyDeleteBila Annie nak bantai cina kat Taiwan, philippine, Hongkong, Indonesia dan China ??
you know why because singaporean chinese and malaysian chinese have a lot in common in the way they think compare to those chinese in taiwan etc.
Deletehistorically they also share the same issues concerning sino-malay relation..the different is in singapore they're the majority in malaysia they're the minority.
Annie now goes international you know, can't wait Annie to bantai the Jews,an outstanding anti semitism muslim women from Malaysia, sure feature in NY Time or Huffington post punya.
Deleteyeah the jew and their anti semitism rhetoric..just like the LGBT..can't be bash...bullcrap
DeleteIt's hard to be happy when you are working your butt out to pay the bills and the car and house mortgages for tens of years until retirement at 65 maybe. All the time the gomen import more and more foreigners to compete with you cos the original Singaporeans don't want to produce babies anymore in this country with no kampungs - Malay or Chinese. Don't kid yourself that this is a Malay problem
ReplyDeletedont kid yourself with denial too..in singapore a malaysian chinese stand a higher chances to get a job compare to the singaporean malay even if the malay guy can speak fluent mandarin..it's the preferably attitude of the majority chinese not all of them but mostly are like that and they tend to believe stereotype perception of malay as a lazy bunch..it is deeply embedded in their mind..like my singaporen cousin said..in singapore their gov dont ask much from the malay except to be an obedient minority..the sin gov will not let the malay die..they will provide what is necessary for the malay to survive..that's it..the malay are good only for showing the world how this minority can survive in ultra modern singapore..to grow and groom the malay talent so they can contribute to the country..no way..you just need to survive for just one more show.
DeleteAnon 14.57,
DeleteYou know all this how? Have you lived in Singapore? Are you talking from experience or through your arse?
I am sure modern, progressive Malays in Singapore don't even view themselves as Malays, let alone Muslims. They probably drink and eat pork. They probably also see no repercussions from such behaviour. Quite the contrary, they would be admired by the Singaporean Chinese for being able to go against convention and 'backward' beliefs.
DeleteThe anti-Malay Malays probably rise to nice positions in Singaporean companies (not the top, however). They will maintain such positions for as long as they continue to 'kutuk' the normal, conservative, tudung/kopiah wearing Malays.
The anti-Malay Malay creates animosity and disharmony among the Malay community, which is the hidden or subconscious intent of most Singaporean Chinese (and probably indians to a certain extent). This will ensure no prosperity through economic unity can ever happen among the Malays.
The plight of the Malays in Singapore is similar to the plight of the Negros in USA. A few token 'white-sounding' Black people are given nice positions, while the rest are oppressed or downtrodden or totally ignored.
anon 14.57..my comment is so easy to understand it's not some rocket science formula..still you ask how i know..bodoh punya orang..or maybe you afraid it will ruin the SHOW..read my comment carefully and you'll know where i get my inside story of singapore..stop commenting like a jackass.
DeleteMaybe Penang Malays should read this article.
ReplyDeleteSometime in the near future, when Singapore finally decide to expand its terrritory into Johor and northward, who will they send? Surely not the malays.
ReplyDeleteWho will open the door for the Singaporean invaders? surely, the chinese, especially the DAPsters.
So, its a lessson to the Malays, trust your chinese friends at your own peril.
ps. The malays will never have the balls to invade Singapore.
Strangely enough it is trhe BN state Government through companies/organisations like Iskandar Development and UEM Land who are the ones selling Johor land to the Singapore Chinese for development and profit. So I guess we have to be wary of our own Government too?
DeleteAnon 14:21, kalau nak kelentong pon tolong pandailah sikit, siapa yg jual tanah kat Iskandar pada orang2 Singapork ?? UMNO-lah, Bodoh !!

DeleteSingapore spent S$12 BILLION on defence last year alone. You go ahead and try and invade, fucking chicken shit malay. Talk only very laut. You shitheads are a laughing stock of the world.
DeleteYes, the UMNO malays do seem to be throwing their own people under the bus by allowing Singaporeans to develop the land. However, as Malaysian Malays, we should be smart and find a way to counter it. Petition and call our local Malay leaders to encourage our Bumi investment vehicles to invest in those regions. Tell them to be aggressive about it. And ensure they follow through by attending the shareholder meetings, writing to the CEOs and malay media etc.
DeleteSimilarly, how many of you know of Malays who buy property in Chinese dominated residential or commercial areas? I, for one, know of no such Malays.
I can afford to buy, but I am usually wary of buying from Chinese developers. My apprehension means that I lose out on economic opportunity.
When I meet up with Malay friends, rarely does the conversation lead to concrete plans about how to buy property or invest my money. When I meet my Chinese friends, the conversation about money usually leads to very firm and realistic investment opportunities. It's usually I who finally backs down from investing, largely due to fear of risk and my belief that in the end the Chinese will find a way to upend my investment. That's my poor mentality.
As Malays we need more introspection. We need to work together and learn how to invest together.
Anon 22:12, masalahnya majority melayu tak ada wang nak labur kat Iskander, yg kaya-kaya tu semua wang mereka kini berapa di bank kat London. Kebanyakkan wang tu wang gelap.

Simple question. Why bother?
ReplyDeleteAnnie, no need to "busy-body" about Malay in Singapore Indonesia or USA or UK or Australia la makcik. Malay in Malaysia, are they happy in the first place?
ReplyDeleteMalay here definitely happier than Malay in Singapore or Indonesia. How many Singaporean and Indonesian Malay now become Malaysian citizen? How many goes the other way round? Go check yourself.
DeleteAnon 15:49, the hidden message of makcik Annie posting is to lead the malays to hate the cinabeng. That's why people label her Annie Mangkuk could be due to this reason.
DeleteRabbit,
DeleteAre you sure so many Singaporean and Indonesian Malay now become Malaysian citizen? Please check the official statistics under new PR for Malaysia under Malaysia My 2nd Home. The biggest nationality that have been migrating into our countries over the years are China, Japan, Iran, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Those Indons are here for work (and ended up overstay), but definitely not to give up their citizenship. And if your argument is based on the "sizeable" number of Indonesian Malays or Singaporean Malays that are working in Malaysia, how about those thousand Johoreans that have been commuting everyday to Singapore? They are not happy with Malaysia too? Rabbit, maybe it's time for you to stick one big carrot into you arse!!!!
Who say the Malays have no balls to invade Spore?.The Malays know it is a waste of time to attack Spore as she had no natural resources and live and depends on financial market and in the events of war all these will be washed out and kaput as the players will run away.For point of interest do you know how many times our Commandos had penetrated their bases.Last but not least pse do not underestimate The Malays.Just wait and see the reaction of the Malays in the coming 14 GE after the lesson learned in GE 13 and determine whether they have balls or not.

DeleteSingapore has been very worried about the Taliban ideology ever since the planned Yishun MRT station bombing was uncovered from video tapes salvaged from faraway Afghanistan years ago. Singapore has banned the radical writings of Syed Qutb which the PAS islamists teach to their followers. The violent Memali tragedy and the failed Mauna coup during the last 20 years have reinforced the belief that Malaysia harbours radical militants. Despite all the modernizing projects and educational advances of Malaysia, the Singapore government harbours a lingering suspicion that most Malays are affected by the radical idea of struggling for an islamic state based on the PAS hudud - does anyone recall Mas Selamat the jihadist from Singapore who broke away from jail and escaped to Malaysia?
DeleteWhy would any rational Malaysian want to invade Singapore? Isn't the Singapore-friendly, Anwar Ibrahim who executed the invasion of our own Sabah more of a headache for us? Singapore is where about 400,000 Malaysians of all races go to work every day and some go to school there . . .and come back home with a magnified salary that few people can deny helps out the Malaysian economy.
As for us we are happy that Singapore does not have a sodomizing treasonous politician lingering anywhere near the parliament building, what more to say about power-hungry Talibani ostads..

DeleteI wonder why so many mainland Chinese immigrants are brought to work in Singapore. Why don't they bring the Indonesians? Is this racist or meritocracy?
ReplyDeleteBodoh Anon 17:22, no need wonder, just go ask Lee Hsien Loong.
Deleteaccording to Rajagopal in Singapore, the mainland chinese are more skilled,educated,talented and economy well off than the Indonesian, so it is unlikely for them to create any social unrest in the island.
DeleteAnon 21:15, read the blog like TR Emeritus and you can see lots of comments from 2nd & 3rd generation Sporean complaining about their new countrymen from China. Skilled, talented and educated my foot! The reason why they're bringing in chinaman is because the Lee family know they can't hold on to their reign any further after the next election, just google on their last election result. So they came up with this moronic issue saying Spore population is dwindling to bring in the Chinaman to vote for the Lee family to stay in power. I guess the phantom voters and the Project IC which Anwar, LGE talking about pre election was supposed to be directed to Spore. Do read this book from Lily Zubaidah Rahim, Yusof Ishak niece http://themalaydilemma.blogspot.com/2010/06/singapore-dilemma-in-malay-world.html. 5.31 million people in an island of just 710 square kilometers. Even penguins in antartica are more comfortable. Just browse through STOMP and see alot of Sporeans posting about the uncivilized attitude of the chinaman. Guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree huh?

DeleteI have a Singaporean friend. He told me something very interesting. He asked me, "do you see so many Malays are working in the government sector in Singapore?". This is particularly true. Look at the custom and imigresen will give us a clear picture. The point is that why the government of Singapore is hiring Malay? Do they favor Malay or is it meritocracy or is it because of equality and fair share?
ReplyDeleteWhat my friend told me is that the government is doing that in order to give job to the Malay. This implicates that otherwise, many of the Malays would be jobless. So either they are less competitive in the private sector or they are discriminated in the private sector.
Yes, there are many malays in custom and imigration but how many malay supervisors are there, let alone the management/

They have created a Bangsa Singapore. Just like what some people here who wants to create a Bangsa Malaysia, Malaysian First, Malaysian Malaysia, Singaporean Singapore... they mean the same thing....
Now that Singapore has successfully created a new race called Singaporean, the Malay Singaporeans feel their loyalty is being questioned. The Chinese no longer feels like a Chinese. There's an important lesson to be learned here...
Dear Annie..
ReplyDeleteRead this http://www.sgpolitics.net/?p=467 by a Singapore Malay journalist that depict the Malays living in Singapore as the least favorite child. Being the least favorite child,the Malays need to work doubly hard in order to impress his parent (Singapore Government). Being untrusted and less loved, what do you expect the treatment to the Malays over there.??
Annie pernah dengar Singapore Eugenic policy in the 1970s, a racist policy designed to favour the rich and educated (aka non Malays) but prevent the poor and the un educated (aka Malays) from multiplying.
LKY said this in 1969 ."Free education and subsidised housing lead to a situation where the less economically productive people in the community are reproducing themselves at rates higher than the rest. This will increase the total population of less productive people. Our problem is how to devise a system of disincentives, so that the irresponsible, the social delinquents, do not believe that all they have to do is to produce their children and the government then owes them and their children sufficient food, medicine, housing, education and jobs...We must encourage those who earn less than $200 per month and cannot afford to nurture and educate many children never to have more than two. We will regret the time lost if we do not now take the first tentative steps towards correcting a trend which can leave our society with a large number of the physically, intellectually and culturally anaemic".
How do you feel as Malays being regarded as "physically,intellectual and culturally anaemic"???
REF: "Annie pernah dengar Singapore Eugenic policy in the 1970s, a racist policy designed to favour the rich and educated (aka non Malays) but prevent the poor and the un educated (aka Malays) from multiplying."
DeleteMy lady friend worked in the Singapore family planning unit during the years of "stop at two children" policy. The program was however so successful that during the early 80's the whole unit was disbanded and she got transferred to tourism dept. We Chinese never saw it as a policy against the Malay reproduction. In fact quite a few Chinese men underwent the vastectomy procedure - one of the elements of the family planning policy - in order to obtain the govt perks for stopping at two. We have always called it LKY's bedroom politics which backfired... the reality today is one Singapore woman can't even produce 1 baby per capita ...
"We Chinese never saw it as a policy against the Malay reproduction"
DeleteYou tak kena.My mom had to abort her sixth child because of the fear government will imposed on the recaltrants; more tax, higher hospitalisation fees and schools outside your domicile areas.
..... by a Malaysian : depict the Chinese and Indian living in Malaysia as the least favorite child and most time being called pendatng. Being the least favorite child,the Chinese and Indians need to work doubly hard in order to survive from the brutal discrimination policy carried out in all fields coming from their parent (Malaysia UMNO Government).

Dear Annie
ReplyDeletePleaae check out this report about the concerns and aspirations of SG Malays.
http://suaramusyawarah.com
Regards
Some commentators here talk as if most Singaporean Malays are SUFFERING.
ReplyDeleteIf so, the immigration into Malaysia to find a better living (better income, living environment) should be a small avalanche. Perhaps something like the flow of Malaysian Chinese going Singapore.
Instead, the flow of Malay Singaporeans into Malaysia is a little trickle. That says it all.
The Singapore Malays can't stand the religious politicking of the Anwaritas and the Talibanis... play God over ordinary people's lives, last sekali hipokrit gabung dengan komunis DAPke atau gangster kapitalis?
DeleteTo understand the plight of the Singapore Malays..
ReplyDeleteYou need to understand the Modern History of the Malays
You need to know who were the Malays in Singapore at that time.
Who fought for the Malays interest,
and what happened in the end?
And what can we learn from this lesson.....
Back then, most of the intellectuals and the talented of the Malays are in Singapore due to the urban environment and
the British administration.
During that time... the most "educated" of the Malays are in
Singapore. They came from all over Malay archipelago to trade
or to study eg; Mahathir,Samad Ismail,Yusof Ishak,etc
It is also the place (Singapore) where Malay Nationalism took footing due to the knowledge and awareness.
It is also where the First Malay Newspaper set up
by the Malays for the Malays, Utusan Melayu (now utusan malaysia)
Back then, the newspaper were run and funded by the
Jawi Peranakan (indian muslim) and the Arabs and they
are not interested in publishing Malay's agenda but more
towards Islamic matters.
Utusan Melayu was set up by Yusof Ishak to fight for the Malay agenda and Singapore Malay Union (KMS) by Mohamed Eunos Abdullah to represent Malay interests which later spread to Johor to form UMNO.
It was important in the Malaysia History because
they spread the hidden agenda of the Malayan Union which will
take away the Malay interest in Malaya and the power of the
Sultans.
To cut the story short.....
Utusan Melayu later split into 2 groups
One group believe that the Sultan is obsolete and the reason
that cause the malays to be backward
and the other believe otherwise.
The one that believe that the Malays should fight against
monarchy and compete fairly with other races joined PAP.
Today, most of them are forever remembered as "Pengkhianat
Melayu" such as Othman Wok.
He spread propaganda of hate to the Malays in Singapore at
that time of UMNO cronyism and corruption.
(Today, history repeat itself as it is similar to PKR and Malay in DAP agenda)
Sometimes whatever we do, it may leave a negative impact
in the future. During that time, it may seems as its the right
thing to do but let's not forget the reality in life.
Not that the Malays are weak, but during that time the majority were not yet ready to compete. Today, the so called "multiracial" Singapore dream can only be seen as "Chinese" Singapore.
Malay voices or interest are silenced.
Today, the other party in Utusan that choses the right path
and believe that the Sultan, like it or not, they are the last line of defense for the Malay's interest....
Which is why, Mahathir keep on harping on about the plight
Singapore Malays ..... "don't let history repeat itself!"
I know the Singaporeans of Malay descent are very happy. :)

DeleteMajulah Singapura. Majulah orang melayu Singapura. 1824 population of melayu was 61 percent.
ReplyDeleteInstead of being nosy on Singaporeans Malay, you should first ask the Malaysians Malay are they happy?Of course the 3.2 million lembu pemakan dedak UMNO will say yes including another appx. 800k kambing suruhan PAS.
ReplyDeleteI read the news yesterday about a man being harassed by loan sharks although his son recently died in an accident and was said to have borrowed 3k from the loan shark.Last week there was another news on loan sharks.
Ever wonder why the loan sharks are so daring that they have no worries at all to conduct illegal business and advertise them everywhere even in front of police stations? They have no fear at all in harassing and injuring their victims. In fact the loan sharks should be arrested and charged under AMLA and not the anti-crime NGO instead. Is this country upside down?
Here are some clues why the loan sharks are free to do whatever they wish without any fear of enforcement;
1) The loan shark menace became very rampant after 2009.Prior to 2009,it was on a smaller scale when the said person was a Deputy XX.
2) Despite MCA losing badly in previous GEs,they are still given ministerial post.
3) The previous IGP-Tan Sri Musa Hassan had announce publicly that he will clamp down on the illegal loan sharks. The next thing happened his contract was not renewed by the Home Minister at that time-Kerismuddin (cousin of #1).
4) Victims of loan sharks can lodge hundreds or thousands of reports but not a single loan shark have ever been arrested and charged.They had to turn to NGO to help them deal with this menace.
And yet you are worshiping the UMNO led government!
The last few days there were news of about corruption scandal in DBKL and the said person is reported to owned 31 units of condominium in Klang Valley. Since his name is being kept away from press and is now referred as DBKL Official 1, we can safely assume it's someone from UMNO.
ReplyDeleteGuan Eng of DAP bought his property with his own money yet they demonized and humiliated him despite being an MP & CM, only because he is from the opposition.But in the case of DBKL Official 1 who stole money belonging to the rakyat and bought a whopping 31 units of Condo but name is name is not revealed.
Even Annie still has the story of Guan Eng not removed from her blog. Aren't you ashamed that you have been protecting a crooked and despicable government led by a party made up of criminals? Supporting criminals means that you are an accomplice to a crime. When i read some comments calling various degrading names here, on one hand i feel pity but on the other hand i think you deserve it because you have no moral by supporting thieves that stole money from the poor and live lavishly and most likely you are paid from this ill-gotten means aka duit haram.
you sound like retard
DeleteSuch a pity when a majority group turn into minority after a bunch of chinese exodus in singapore... one of my colleague from malaysia told me back then when 1st election happen in singapore, the pm candidate (you know who) tried to play nice with malays community,making a group discussion with the elders, even dressing in muslim clothes... but after he became a pm, they (malays) got pushed away from politics and goverment. I'd also read some article, maybe around 3-4 yrs ago, the article tell an issue about the late pm of singapore really hate malay and muslim.... it must be hard being malay and muslim in singapore... May God protect all of you
