BlueRider's reply to all the trashing he received as a result of his first letter is an even bigger bag of dung.

Of course you find it difficult to fathom why non-Malays are so opposed to the privilege you so rightfully claim. Wouldn't expect anything more from you! It is ridiculous for special rights to be based on the number of 'rich' non-Malays and Malays. Is that the only justification you have?

I'm not sure what the statistics of 'rich' Malays and non-Malays are, or how 'rich' is 'rich'. But I can boldly state that 99.9 percent of those successful non-Malays would have had to work their behinds off, defying huge odds, sacrificing sweat, blood and tears to reach the heights of success.

Don't get me wrong, there are some self-made Malay success stories who deserve due respect and admiration. But then, if you can't succeed with all the spoon-feeding, then what can I say?

Anyway I don't understand your use of the phrase 'second-class citizens'. How could you possibly be second-class when you receive first-class priority? Perhaps you mean you'd rather be rich with handouts than stand on your own two feet.

BlueRider, don't hold us down with this social contract story. It wasn't meant to be forever. Tell me honestly, how long do you think special rights can last? Globalisation will turn Malaysia into an economic island if you start asking foreign businesses how much bumi equity they have.

I detest being labelled a detractor. It is stupid to compare special rights with vernacular education. How do Malays lose out by non-Malays studying in their own language? On the other hand, non-Malays are obviously on the losing side when affirmative action is race-based.

How difficult is it to accept an affirmative action system solely based on economic principles? Why can't we just help the poor regardless of their race? That way the most deserving get assistance, and if more people from one race are more deserving, so be it. At least it is fair!

If after decades of special rights, the poor Malays are still poor, then don't you think the system is flawed? All that has been achieved by the special rights is benefit a certain elite layer of the Malay community in the name of the rest.

BlueRider chooses to end his preaching with yet another unveiled threat. Biggest mistake peace-loving Malaysians will ever make? I sincerely doubt it. And you know what? I'm willing to risk it.
