I read with anger today the press report about the deputy prime minister stating that recruitment advertisements for jobs requiring applicants to be fluent in Mandarin are discriminatory and should be stopped.

'Oh, my god,' I said to myself.

Who is perpetrating the big discrimination against Malaysians of Chinese origin here? How do we feel when all around us we see 'For bumis only'?

Such hypocrisy is so easy to forget when you are not the victim and so nice to enjoy when you are one of those in positions of superiority.
