Farish A. Noor's article ‘Amok’ Season Again: How We Perpetuate The Myths Of Empire is a good read. After reading it, the relevance of races in Malaysia, privileges for the bumis and our very existence as Malaysians came to my mind, with an image of a well-fed self-absorbed rich Malay thrusting a rusty keris into the air, addressing an equally lost but cheering audience with political and racial rhetorics that are irrelevant in our time and the future.

Sometimes I feel its better for me to just laugh at those ketuanan Melayu-crazy fools in the dissapointing UMNO annual assembly, which we generally have come to expect the same thing to repeat every year, than to hope for them to change. They and their happy little fantasies...

Apart from that, what's the big hoo-haa with the division of wealth? Why not use all the time and money spent on surveys, research and statistics for this dumb issue on something more worthwhile.

Michael Backman's While Malaysia fiddles, its opportunities are running dry struck a chord here, and Rafidah (the so-called Iron Lady) treats his article like a fly flying around her head. For goodness sake, someone under you is making RM400,000 by forging APs, go settle that first then only comment.
