It is pure discrimination, plain and simple. What that driver did, is sadly, a rather common occurrence and I am always disgusted by it. You could argue he was \"joking\" but based on OP, it has clearly went past any benefit of the doubt for it to be a \"joke\".\nHalf the comments here trying to justify the racism with things that mainly boil down to. -paraphrasing A) There's institutionalised racism in the other way. B) Nons have no special right\nIt makes the anger / negative attitude UNDERSTANDABLE, but not JUSTIFIED. Just like how we can understand a fear of small spaces (claustrophobia), but often not justifiable.\nHalf of the comments here stating things like 'now you understand how the nons feel.' Not to discredit your personal experience, I'm sure you have your reason to say that, and it might be your own personal experience, but saying that is akin to saying 'now you know how I feel' to a covid patient after recovering from covid. How is saying that helping anyone or beneficial? You didn't choose to be the target of racism, nor did OP.\nThe other thing I noted is that quite a few Malay commented how they used to be vocal about abolishing bumi rights and so on, but have stopped because they don't see a point in doing so anymore because it's a dammed if you do, damned if you don't situation. This just proves 2 wrongs don't make a right. The civil rights movement with MLK would not gain any success if it did not gain the support of the president of that time, a white man supporting a black man. Our common enemy are the racist. The supremacist. Not based on what we put under 'kaum' when we fill in our own personal information.

I'm not an employer or a landlord or a politician. All I can do to help is shut down racist comments made from my family and friends.

Keep that up and maybe some day, some one who actually has power decides the status quo needs to be changed. Small steps can lead to big changes.\nAbsolutely agree with your quote about the difference between us and government. That's why we should all come together.", "Racism is racism dude, stop justifying racism. You can't justify racism by one race is because of this or that. That's total bullshit.", "What you are seeing here is just people thoughts and facts, I don’t think most of them are justifying the racism including myself.\nA lot Malaysian who are here are more exposed to western values and modern acceptable norms. Especially the woke culture.\nMalaysia is in a very different place and time compared to the west.\nOur affirmative action isn’t comparable to others countries but make no mistake, discrimination is discrimination and it will create the same problem as those that are oppressed, no matter in lighter or heavier forms. What the OP experienced and others that commented here is the result of the affirmative action.\nThe country will never really heals unless people start talking instead of pointing fingers", "I agree, people can express their thoughts, negative or otherwise. Facts are facts and nothing can change it. The reason why I say there seems to be a hint of justification of racism is based on context and usage of these facts by certain comments.\nParaphrasing and shorten from below comments -\nA: He is racist. All the talk about Malay supremacy, come to penang and you will hear talks of Chinese Supremacy. Same bullshit, applies to both. -> (Anectodal evidence, expressing thoughts, but generally in agreement that the driver is racist and therefore bad.)\nB: Chinese have special rights that malay are currently enjoying? -> (Trying to justify/reason that one party is more/less wrong to be racist due to the existence of \"special rights\" ; Usage of facts, the existence of special rights to try and justify racism.)\nC: We do, its called economic power. But the affirmative action policy is rotten and only benefits the politician instead of the bumiputera. -> (Went the opposite direction and used a common talking point of racist to justify certain racist policies)\nI agree with you as well, in regards to what OP experienced is the result of affirmative action, as well as how the country will never really heal until we stop pointing finger. But evidently, there are so many finger pointing here despite how \"a lot of malaysian here are more exposed to modern acceptable norms\".

Notice how chinese SRJKC are generally bigger and better funded? Some employers are also quite racist, or just rather speak Chinese than speak other languages, so you see Chinese SME mostly filled with other Chinese. Education and resources trickle down from the colonial forefathers. Plus we work hard and we have a culture of prioritizing material wealth (Ang Pau, 8888, Fatt Fatt, Gong Xi Ni, Toto Magnum 4D, Genting).\nAll these combined have put Chinese in another tier economically compared to the rest. It will take time to equalise. But bumi special rights is making you racist, and because you are racist, you make them hate us and label us “racist Chinese”.\nThis is why I say bumi special rights only benefit politicians.

This is the biggest rubbish I’ve heard in my life.\nExplain why Chinese treat Indians like garbage then. Shouldn’t Chinese people sympathise with Indians for being a fellow minority and treat them like allies? Reality is Chinese people treat Indians like dirt beneath their shoes. I’m Indian and I can safely say despite bumiputera laws, Malays have treated me better than Chinese by far. Go and ask any Indian people or other minorities from east Malaysia and they’ll say the same.\nChinese people are simply racist because they think they’re superior.

I understand sometimes you need BM in everything although I think the current climate might make BM for Christmas a contentious issue.

[ [ "It is improving.\nPrior to moving overseas, my commute was completely by walking and by LRT (and I have friends who do that too) and going around in KL solely by public is very much possible. Any public transport system is time consuming when compared to driving, but the daily/monthly passes for citizens make it very much worth the hassle for me. I expect things will improve more once LRT3 and the MRT Circle Line are built, enhancing connectivity between lines.\nThey have a lot still to improve with respect to to bus lines and pedestrian walkability. Frequency wise, they are doing quite good even though Malaysians have unrealistic expectations of LRT operating at a 2-min frequency.\nTo compare it with capital cities of developed countries, we are still lagging behind but when looking at other developing/historically exploited countries, we are doing quite well.\nThe country I am currently living in, Japan, has some quirks too. People always talk about how good the public transportation in Japan, but once you get out of Tokyo and Osaka things start to go down. Some cities still require cars to get around properly, and with the whole population decline thing, rural train lines are actually going off one by one as they lack the ridership.\nWhat Malaysia needs to improve now, is the public transportation in cities besides KL and Penang. Kota Bharu, Kuala Terengganu, Kuantan, Alor Setar, Ipoh, Melaka, JB and Kuching all deserve a good system. It may not be full-on train lines, when a good bus system can actually do the job really well.", "Kuching desperately needs a good bus system. But no, for some reason they need a flagpole and that overdesigned Sungai Bintangor bridge.", "And they decided it is better to run a long-ass beta \"lab rat\" program to run some fake Autonomous Bus, and pump in a tons of money to have it powered by hydrogen." ], [ "The further you go into the CBD, the better it generally is. Generally, the trains are pretty great. They’re frequent enough (could be better) and they are clean and efficient. The KTM is not meant to be rapid transit, so that is why it isn’t frequent. It’s commuter rail.\nThe ETS is meant for inter-city travel throughout the north. I have never taken it before so I can’t say much about it.\nCertain journeys are convenient by train. Sunway Velocity, The Exchange, IKEA/MyTown, and Pavilion BB are on the same corridor. If you live in the city then sure you may not need a car, but even that is stretching it.\nThe problem lies in the buses and the overall city planning.\nKL has too little buses for a city its size. Despite numerous bus lanes, no driver has ever respected it, based on my experiences. The bus lanes are also limited to the inner city areas, and the outer suburbs (arguably areas that are most needing of bus services) do not have bus lanes whatsoever. Bus stops are not that well maintained. There are some nice ones with shelter, but a lot are just a pole. In Malaysia’s hot and humid weather, it is so much more important that we have shelter. There isn’t also much information on the bus stops. A lot have just nothing but a QR code to scan. A screen showing arrival times and routes would be nice. The stops also don’t have much organisation, like codes or specific names. I’d recommend a book called Better Buses, Better Cities to learn more about optimising public buses\nSo, the low number of buses, lack of respect for bus infrastructure and unprofessionalism causes low frequency and reliability.\nMalaysia is stuck deep in car-centricism. Transit-oriented development has been neglected. Most Malaysians are “hard-wired” to want to drive cars, as cars (especially expensive cars) are seen as a status symbol. So, public transport has been regarded as “lower”. This has caused development to prioritise driving instead of transit and walkability. As a result, even if the trains itself or buses are good, getting to them will be a huge problem, hence the first and last mile problem. There are a lot of other aspects to this problem that I won’t cover in the interest of time.\nIn conclusion, I would say that KL public transport is good only if you only go to certain places. Out of these limited places, either just drive or wait 45+ minutes for a bus that may not even come. And even then, driving in KL is a nightmare." ], [ "I use the public transport in KL often and have used the ones in London (almost a year there), Tokyo, Beijing (almost a year there too), HK, Singapore and Shanghai.\nFor KL, It's ok, but can be better. On a scale of 1-5 it is a 3.5.\nIt's definitely modern and good but there lots of room for improvement.\nMaintenance - of the station facilities and the train itself. How many times have you seen screens not work or lights at the station not light up or escalator rosak? Don't even mention our bus stops some are just a physical pole by the road.\nFirst and last mile - to use the MRT/LRT people need to get to the stations. In most cities mentioned above either they have bus, shared bicycles or walkable/sheltered paths. Here lots of these paths are half gone or taken up by cars whose owner think that pedestrian walkways are free real estate. Otherwise the user has to share walking path with cars on the dangerous roads or worst- highways. Creating a less car centric and more pedestrian friendly urban design can really make people want to use the public transport more but they requires effort and cooperation with the city councils.\nReliability - I mean, no public transport system is perfect. Delays or malfunctioning trains occur in other places too but the frequency of it occuring in KL is too high for a relatively new system.\nEven the ticketing machines at stations sometimes rosak. The speed at the gate opens is also slow compared SG, Tokyo or HK (they use FeliCa NFC system), even though it's a few hundred millisecond, the perceived difference is there.\nFrequency - the train frequency is considered low even during rush hour if compared to most other nations. Also for some reason Prasana thought 4 car length was enough to transport ppl in KL when many countries use 6.\nOperating hour - not much complain but would be cool if they open from 5 to 1 daily for those super early workers or super OT employees or partygoers, not just events. Cadangan only.\nSafety/commuter civics - in SG they had volunteers in MRT to make sure idiots don't do stupid things. In China there are police officers doing bag check at every entrance and on the platform to ensure safety. In KL, the polis bantuan are sometimes there but sometimes not. Look at the women coach, no one enforce. Have ppl in the train and on the platform to keep watch.\nAll in all, it's there but not quite yet. Really hoping they complete the circle line asap. Even simple things like human centric design such as having the MRT arrival TV at the entrances (so commuters can decide to stroll or parkour up to the platform) can help make the journey better." ], [ "It's improving. The last mile is where the problem is. I need to drive 3km from my apartment to LRT or KTM. I guess stay anywhere 500m away from station will solve the problem but not everyone is so rich." ], [ "its ok, not good not terrible\nKL is quite public transport friendly, buses are terrible; greater kl is not that friendly\na huge part of why its a problem is cause our city planning is trash, people are stupid, and locals go holiday compare KL to Tokyo Greenline." ], [ "It's only good when you live somewhere with direct link to mrt/lrt Station and your destination is also direct link to any mrt/lrt station. Otherwise, a car is still very necessary unless you want to risk your life every few minutes trying to cross the road with no pedestrian crossing/lights" ], [ "If you want to go to KLCC, forget about Persiaran KLCC station on the MRT Line 2. That will have you walking 10 min under the sun compared to LRT’s direct connection to the mall.\nThis is one example of poor last mile connectivity. Not to mention most of Line 2’s stops take you to places with lower footfall where ppl are better off driving anyway (eg: Equine Park, Jinjang, Kepong)" ], [ "lrt, mrt, good. monorail, mid. bus, horrible. ktm, deceased. (hopefully they will increase the frequency after track repairs)" ], [ "Not sure about KL in entirety but at least KLCC has amazing public transport, including mrt and lrt. But monorail can have higher frequency though" ], [ "A car is still essential. Outside of KLCC & Bukit Bintang area, train stations are quite far from each other, and we have poor infrastructure for pedestrians to navigate between them. LRT and MRT frequency is good for me. Bus IMO has the chicken and egg problem... people avoid it because of low frequency & still get stuck in traffic anyway, so we have less bus and bus lanes because of the lack of ridership.\nAt least things are getting better. It's unfortunate Ampang Park LRT doesn't directly connect to MRT, what a wasted opportunity. I haven't been to TRX yet though, looks neat." ], [ "I ride trains and buses to certain places including workplace. To get to the stations and stops, I have to walk under the sun and along busy street which makes it inconvenient and loud. I'm not complaining about the distance (10-15 minute walk) though as it's good for me to move around. The bus arrival time is almost always reliable with the help of Moovit app.\nConsidering where I live in is a concentrated residential area, I wish there are more locals taking public transport. Never seen the bus half full and most of the time, the passengers are foreigners. The route I am taking, there are at least 3 different bus lines and I have tried all of them. That shows how the bus facility is under appreciated." ] ]

Anwar isn’t like some past Prime Ministers that just recited the text written for them word by word. If Anwar is very hands-on with something minor as his speeches, do you think he will let other people do the major decisions on his behalf?\nYou’re overestimating the Advisory Committee to the Finance Minister’s (ACFIN) powers, the committee that Izzah serves as its co-head secretariat. ACFIN is basically a body that does research and gives recommendations on strategic changes to fiscal policies and the Treasury, like a consulting firm.

As shown in his early days as PM, there were some instances that what he said does not go well with the facts. As an opposition this can be just overlooked, but as a PM, there will be peoples double checking whatever he says. And at times what he says backfired on him. I believe he learned that mistake so now he has to be careful with what he says.\n3) people who works in the gov or even have dealt with government, would know, influence can overcome position. Yes, anwar will be the 1 that approves things, but if he trusts his daughter, he would just accept whatever nurul says. Anwar is holding the PM position and already have lots on his plate as is.

If your marriage has been registered with JPN, Malaysia for more than 6 months than upon entering Malaysia you can apply for a LTSV straight away. If not ,then you have to have your marriage registered with JPN first . Then after the marriage has been duly registered (you will be issued with a marriage Cert) , only after 6 months from the date of registration can the application for LTSV be submitted . If your situation falls into the 2nd category then you have to consider that when your spouse enter Malaysia , she will be permitted to remain for 90 days (I’m assuming she holds a Canadian passport - do check her maximum stay period). This presents some problems which can be resolved in the following manner :- 2-3 days before the 90 days permit is up , go to the Immigration Dept and apply for an extension (they only 1 extension only) of 30 days . Towards the end of the extension period, leave the country for somewhere for a 7-10 days holiday and after this re-enter Malaysia and she gets another 90days stay . At this point , by the end of this new period of 90 days , she would have altogether , 90+30+7+90 = 227 days to remain in Malaysia which is enough to meet the 6 months after marriage registration before can submit application for LTSV.

Alternatively, you can explore eating in the one of the restaurants up the towers- only Marini’s on 57 is open at the moment, I think (open only for dinner) which is a high-end steakhouse but with a beautiful view of the city.\nPavilion KL is another shopping mall - KL is rife with them, but it’s a nice one.\nI would check out the National Craft Complex, which isn’t far from KLCC. There are huts featuring different local crafts that you and your family could participate in, eg Batik painting, pottery.\nNear Merdeka Square, there are some good parks- The KL Bird Park and Butterfly Park are both worth a visit. The Islamic Arts Museum is there too, which in my opinion, is better worth a visit than the National Museum. Merdeka Square itself is very pretty, historic, and a good picture location. If you dedicate a day in this are you could probably hit up several in the same locale.\nOther fun places to visit for shopping and the experience are Central Market, Brickfields (aka Little India), Petaling Street, Masjid India. Just be aware that if shopping, a lot of these places expect haggling as a matter of course- no need to go overboard, but unless it’s explicitly stated on a sign somewhere “no haggling, fixed price”, no harm in asking for a better price/bulk discount.\nHopr you and your family have fun!

Tap water is not clean here and always make sure to have mineral/boiled/filtered water.\nIn KL, hit up the aquarium in KLCC for some family time, shopping in Pavilion for luxury goods and you can even visit and hit up some bars for drinks at night. Alcohol is wayy more expensive here compared to Estonia though so be mindful of that.\nYou can visit Chinatown (Petaling Street) to walk around but make sure to keep your valuables safe like your jewellery and such.\nI would say for Penang, you can visit the Escape Park for some thrill and fun with your family.

This is akin to Malaysia gov prohibits any chinese character not being displayed on any shops. Last time I checked in every mall in Malaysia the usage of chinese is freely use in every bloody shop.\nThirdly, comparing malaysia’s mere effort to make chinese and indians into bangsa malaysia to indonesia bangsa indonesia is overwhelmingly ridiculous. There was no common identity amongst the indonesians except bahasa indonesia and bhineka tunggal ika.

China has been an empire(and currently is)throughout its history and never been fully subjugated by western powers (fully debatable on 100 years of humiliation) but nonetheless a country like fiji, mauritius and other african countries like sierra leone zambia malawi should be a comparable analysis.\nYour point on indonesia just solidifies my argument on multiculturalism is more of a liability and you have been playing around the grey area of integration and assimilation. It is pointless to illuminate either one since your definition of multiculturalism is flawed. Pointing out on indonesian nationalism whilst adamant on Malaysia version “multiculturalism” as repressive since it promotes Malay culture as a unifying factor is counterproductive to your argument on indonesia grounds. This Shows that you observe only through a single lens wile expousing the Malays should give way to accomodate more to foreign culture. The irony.\nIt is and always will be MALAYsia.

Its just that the answer is not what you are looking for, that's why you dont recognise it as my answer.\nMalaysia should be and can be a common identity for all races who resides in Malaysia, similar with how Indonesian did it. Malaysia should represent geological identity (Malaya peninsular + Sabah sarawak, which is the correct interpreteation) and shouldnt represent cultural identity (MALAYsia as in land of the Malays, which is the nationalist's interpretation). This is why Jawi/khat, which is a malay heritage, shouldnt be tie with Malaysia culture as a whole and force it upon everyone else. one dont have to be malay to be a malaysian, is all i'm trying to say. should we learn more about our brothers? of course. should it be classified as malaysia culture, as you have done right now? no. malay culture is just part of malaysia culture, not the other way around. that is why I have responded with this comment previously : \"Malaysia should be the common identity, not MALAYsia.\"\nI have no idea how you cannot see that ccp trying to replace traditional character + cantonese in hongkong (an established culture in hongkong) with simplified character + mandarin is not a move of assimilation. ccp is trying to assimilate hongkies into more mainland chinese like, isnt that a fact? china is an empire, so does malaysia. i dont understand why we cannot use ccp as an example to show how assimilation simply means overlapping one's culture onto another.\nIndonesian didn't assimilate. they all integrated as indonesian. Malaysia on the other hand, has never stopped trying to assimilate non malay as malay simply because they think that the land and country is theirs. the difference here is that all races in indonesian thinks that they belong, while in malaysia only 1 race thinks that they belong, and other are guests who should be more like them if they wish to stay. There are no grey area, only your inability to acknowledge the clear differences.\n> Pointing out on indonesian nationalism whilst adamant on Malaysia version “multiculturalism” as repressive since it promotes Malay culture as a unifying factor\nim not sure what you are trying to say. I've said that malaysia should focus on multiculturalism and should move away from focusing on 1 race's culture. What we are doing now, is not \"multiculturalism\", it's assimilation. that is totally opposite of what indonesian is, which is why i have used it to highlight the problem with malaysia's assimilation policies. I have not once asked malays to embrace foreign culture. I have been saying that all races should embrace their own culture, but not impose those onto other races forcefully.\nThe irony here is how you think malay shouldnt embrace foreign culture, while totally ok with other culture to embrace malay culture.\n> It is and always will be MALAYsia\nTell that to the sabahan sarawakian.
