Chinese illegal businesses - have police been sleeping?

YOURSAY ‘And don't tell me Malays do not have illegal businesses either.’

 

'Penang success due to Chinese illegal businesses'

Hello: Now, the latest Umno accusation is that the Chinese are successful because they do illegal businesses.                 

 

Does this mean that Permatang Pauh delegate Zaidi Mohd Said is justifying the corruption, rent-seeking, cronyism that is practised by Umno?

 

When will these bigots accept the fact that the Chinese had to work doubly hard to succeed because they were handicapped by the unequal policies of the Umno government?

 

Homesick: If anyone wants any more proof that Umno-BN is full of stupid, incapable and incompetent people, this is it.

 

Just one simple question for this moron: Why was Penang not as successful when it was under BN? If all your stupid allegations are true, what have the home minister and PDRM (Royal Malaysian Police) been doing?

 

Ouch: If it is an illegal business, it doesn't matter what race is involved. Don't tell me Malays do not have illegal businesses either (for example, roadside hawkers without licences).

 

Anonymous 007: Is Zaidi Mohd Said saying that the police in Penang are closing their eyes on such illegal businesses in Penang? Or is it that some Malays are angry because their commissions from government contracts have been lost?

 

NewMalaysia: Hilarious, this is the standard of Umno leaders? Isn't what he said akin to a slap on the home minister's face? Illegal businesses would only be rampant when the police are not doing their job.

 

Ensuring public safety and crime prevention is the duty of the police force, which is under the home minister. Please tell me who is the home minister? Isn't he not someone from Umno?

 

Why blame the Penang government for illegal businesses when it has no authority and power to fight crime? Even the state patrol watch group formed by the Penang government to help in the ensuring of public security was outlawed by the police, and not those illegal business operators.

 

Furthermore, please tell me which state under BN control has no illegal businesses in operation?

 

Tapir: The number of times police raid the illegal gambling dens is a world record and yet they still have illegal gambling dens. Indeed, all police officers should resign.

Anonymous_4196: There are laws to curb illegal activities. So how come PDRM is not doing anything? They should answer these accusations, otherwise we shall consider the accusation as slander and seditious.

 

Hplooi: People who believe Zaidi will really be ‘bodoh’ (that the Chinese succeed because of vice and crime).

 

This is also an affront to all Malaysians of Chinese descent of which over 98 percent (ballpark figure) are law-abiding citizens who pay their taxes, conduct their businesses honestly and create wealth for the nation legally.

 

In reality in Malaysia, the 'legal gangsters' are major stakeholders and in some cases direct shareholders in the illegal gambling and ‘Ah Long’ industry. Such activities would not be able to flourish with the connivance of such key players.

 

Just as an example are the constant plastering of 'call us' signs by illegal loansharks who seem to be immune from action (despite their persistent defilement of public and private property with their stick-on advertisements).

 

The influx of sex workers can also be attributed to the connivance (and not a defect in enforcement or 'administrative errors') of the authorities. Note that Malaysia has also been cited as a major source of human trafficking.

 

Starwars: Are you not ashamed of yourself for blaming others for your failures, despite you having been granted all the benefits and privileges? You were given a head start in life and yet you failed and now you cast aspersions on the Chinese community's success to cover your failures.

 

This mentality of yours is disgusting and typical of Umno. Let me tell you that Umno-BN is doomed and we the peace-loving rakyat will never vote for Umno-BN again.

 

You thrive on racism. You have no place is politics.

 

Fightforjustice: Clearly, Umno has got nothing else to do except revel in their own self-pity. Chinese, please don't eat the bananas been thrown at you from a group of frustrated Malays who have just about lost it in their heads.

 

It will be a long time for them to grow up, if ever that happens.

 

RCZ: Penang CM Lim Guan Eng, keep cool. There is no need to answer these idiots. The rakyat know what you have done and are doing.

 

You only need to address the rakyat's needs and don’t bother yourself with morons, racists, baby elephants and Oxford grads.

 

Tholu: How are the Malays to progress if all that happens in the Umno assembly that convenes once a year, and which is expected to debate ways on enhancing the economic, educational and social standing of the Malays, only focuses all its time and opportunity on bashing the non-Malays and non-Muslims based on self-imagined but non-existent threats and so-called challenges by them (the non-Malays and non-Muslims)?
