Boon Teong...a very powerful message ypu are sending here. Actually, I knew the fact that without quota system, our country could end up like Indonesia. And that's not a very good prospect, isn't it? I'm not sure if it is good to have quota system or not. There will always be pros and cons. The Bumiputras will become overly dependent on the system while the other ethnics will continue to feel that they are deprived of certain priviliges, the most obvious one being education. And even when the edu ministry claim that they have scraped off quota system, we see unbelivable surge of good results in matriculations, unheard before this. All in all, I do think quota system is still very much needed in this country where peace among multiethnic groups should come first. Well, other groups like us Chinese will benefit in a certain way - we are taught to be independent and to develop skills to survive in the society. We are taught not to take things for granted and to appreciate what we have achieved. But, we Chinese are lacking in something - that is the desire the serve our own country. For those who are educated in local unis, we have no choice but for many of us, who would turn down a chance to live and work in a more developed country? Perhaps it is because we don't feel that we owe it to our own country to do that. Though Malaysia has educated us for at least 11 years, we never thought of this very fact when we comtemplate about our future. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against people who wants to work abroad. It's just that many did not think that Malaysia needs lots of services from us people. With this kind of mentality, the country will not progress as it is brain drained. Perhapps people like us can make a difference if we stay. Of course we cannot expect things to change overnight but sometimes, we should see the joy in serving our very own fellowmen in whatever ways we can. Minority groups are not less fortunate. We are fortunate in many ways if only we see beyond our horizons.
