cakap cakap.....where are the corrupt Chinese?

The narrative told to Malays by other Malays paints the Chinese as being people whose only concern is money. Their God is money. Money is their everything. Every waking hour they had is spent in the pursuit of money. They wish each other happiness and prosperity, and one of the blessings in Chinese culture refers to wealth. This preoccupation with wealth and prosperity is all about making money. ...kan?

And I have yet to meet a greedy Chinese.

For sure, there are greedy Chinese around - but I have yet to meet one. The Chinese work hard for their money. They are calculative. They drive a hard bargain. They save and are thrifty ...but, as I said, I have yet to meet a greedy Chinese.

Greedy Malays, I have met plenty.

What the Malays want, what they take or steal, and what they keep for themselves is far beyond what they need and beyond what is fair. Is it because they think nobody is losing because it is the government's money that they are taking? Or is it because they know they can take whatever they want and get away with it?

It is simply amazing. I am still trying to get my head around the vast sums of money that have been stolen/scammed/siphoned out or simply taken, from our nation's coffers by Malays.

Hundreds of billions of ringgit... ...for what?

To make Malay public servants, Malay public officials, and Malay politicians rich? To enable these politicians to buy political power? Was money used to do anything, to pay anyone, to bribe people, all for political gain? So that with political power they can continue to rob our nation with impunity? How did these people who have been put in positions of trust to do what is right for Malaysia and Malaysias...how, when, and what posses these people to think that they could do what they want with our money? And did they really think that no one will ever know what they did? That they can get away with what they have done to Malaysia and Malaysians?

The richer these Malays got, the more greedy they became. One Mercedes was never enough. One house was not enough. One tiara, one Hermes bag for the wife was never enough. Greed was good. Politics was the means to satisfy that greed. And once started...the sky was the limit.

Imagine...PDRM seized 1,400 necklaces, 567 handbags, 423 watches, 2,200 rings, 1,600 brooches, and 14 tiaras worth $273m in raids on the houses of former Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak.

I cannot get my head around Rosmah having 567 handbags. I cannot get my head around Najib having hundreds of million in his personal bank account. This reality of rich, greedy Malays is repeated over and over again. Malay overflowing with ill-gotten gains stuffed in suitcases, kitchen cabinets, and even under beds. Surely the only plausible explanation is that these Malays are greedy. And greed overcomes all other sensibilities.

But what changed the Malays to be that greedy?

Was there something in the DNA of the Malays that made them easy prey for politics to suck them up into that vicious spiral that swallows them up and then spits them out more greedy, more arrogant, and more "not Malay" than what the Malays have been pre Umno days?.

Is it true that greed, among the Malays, has become endemic? If you are a Malay then the presumption among other Malaysians, and among other Malays, is... that Malay is corrupt.

Is it true that greed among the Malays is systemic? Anywhere you find a Malay working, there will be corruption because it is now in their DNA. A Malay can be bribed.

A Malay prime minister, a Malay Minister, Malay politicians...a Malay anything...they are all corrupt!

Where are the corrupt Chinese?

Where are the corrupt Chinese so that at least, the Malays will have competition, and at least the Malays will not look so bad! Aiyah......life is not fair lah!
