Racial Discrimination - Have you experienced it?

Yes, I have.

In the paper today, it is reported that AmBank, a second Malaysian bank (after MayBank) has scrapped plans to offer privileges to law firms which are at least 50% owned by ethnic Malays.

Even though the policy is officially scrapped, will the management staff, involved in assigning the bank's business to law firms, practise it in reality? My soul says "hope la".

Racial discrimination is a way of life, is part of the government and is deeply entombed in constitution in Malaysia.

Have you ever experience being a minority race in your country? I have.

So when will this "dynasauristic mindset" change? I really hope it will be soon.

A BIG victory for discrimination today!!!

In Uttar Pradesh.

A WOMAN from the "untouchables" class got elected to Chief Minister's position on her own merits.

She climbed over 2 big hurdles, sex and class discriminations!!!
