Malaysia desperately needs a new government.

While the US Foreign Policy is one of promoting democracy, Malaysia has very carefully hidden from the radar and sustained a policy that supports a privileged few.Words like "all men are equal" mean nothing in Malaysia where it promotes a plocy that not only racially discriminates but one that actually oppresses the human rights of the minority.

That is why the United States will never sign a Free Trade Agreement with Malaysia because of the policy of racial discrimination.Malaysia is willing to allow free trade with the USA but not with its local minority.This goes against the very principles and values that the USA stands for and contradictory to the WTO-non-discriminatory provisions.We dont want to see that a US compnay can bid and receive a contract from Malaysia, when its own people will not be able to do so.

So what is the option for Malaysians-there are two.

Firstly we can emulate the United States (a great country of immigrants) and allow equality among all races while having programs for the poor regardless of race or religion.The best will serve the nation on merit.

The other option is to become like Zimbabwe, and have a ruling party since independence run the coutry to the ground. Both the United States and Zimbabwe have minorities.The USA went on merit and made a minority black American the United States President.

In Zimbabwe, the minority is the White man and they are now discriminated and put aside-accepting people who are cronies in government policies and decisions.Today Zimbabwe speaks for itself.

I hope Malaysian will walk the right path and see to it that the present government is removed peacefully and democratically.The Malays must continue to speak up at the wrong doings of UMNO because if you dont it will be like "cutting the nose to spite the face" and MPs and members of MIC and MCA should start moving to the opposition en bloc -and join the opposition after another election.We have to remove a cancer that is now intractablly lodge in our democracy.
