HANTULAUT: Forbes Richest

Hantu Laut

We all can play the devil's advocate.

Are the Chinese really second class citizens in this country? Marginalised, sidelined, unrecognised and unappreciated?

So, if that is true, how come there are so many rich Chinese in this country?

Of course, the Chinese will say they work hard, harder than the Malays, which is true, no one will dispute that. Not only they work harder, they are also very frugal with money. They spent money to make more money. They not only take, they also give back to society when they become very rich.

The question is if the Chinese were so discriminated against by the government how was it possible that their enterprising nature were allowed to bloom freely making many of them filthy rich?

Aren't liberal government policies part of the reasons the Chinese had it easy to conduct their business in the country?

The words discrimination and sidelined have been used very freely by some Chinese leaders in the opposition.

Forbes just released the list of Malaysia's 50 Richest.

In the Top 10, there is 1 Malay and 1 Indian, the rest Chinese.

In the Top 50 there are only 9 Malays, 2 or 3 Indians, the rest Chinese.

The combined wealth of the Chinese in the Top 10 is $40 billion compared to the Malay chicken feed $2.7 billion of one lone ranger.

I need not give the total wealth in the Top 50. It can reach the stars.

Hahaha! Should I say (pun intended)....... apa lagi Cina mahu?

Maybe, the Malays should work harder for their money...........not just waiting for windfall from government projects without sweats.
