LKY (Minister Mentor of Singapore) accused the Malaysian Government of marginalizesing the Chinese in their country. If the Singapore opposition or a PAP minister/MP had said the same thing.what would happen to them? I think they would be in deep trouble for bringing up such a sensitive subject and be comdemed. But because LKY said it, so nobody else dare to mumber a word. Do you agree?.

Not really. Its no secret that Malaysia got double standards in many aspects. Its quite true. But to say that Singapore is the same as Malaysia is wrong. Singapore do not have preferencial treatment for any ethnic group, unlike Malaysia.

Malays does not a helicopter view of things. Its true that Chinese in Malaysia IS marginalising. The Malay get all the privilege of incentive or land or rights or education, but not other races.
Many rich and able Chinese have left the country. Even the Chinese politican can;t even climb high the government.

You may be right, I don't really know enough about Singaporean domestic politics. But one way or another, he was telling the truth, wasn't he?
Malaysia is an amazing place, but we all know that the different ethnic groups are treated differently there. It's not exactly news, is it?
Maybe it wasn't a smart move for a Singaporean politican to mention it, but it truth is truth. And nobody should ever have too feel afraid to tell the truth.

Every politician makes mistakes in his/her speech sometimes. I only have one word to sum up the whole blooper: BUSH.
