I was reading this article on CPI about the response by Dr. Ranjit Singh Malhi about Non-Malays not understanding Malaysian history and I am not surprised that he was defending his action against a so-called scholar (read the article to know who the scholar is).
This reminds me of a story my brother told me when he was doing his Masters in Engineering in a Malaysian local university. In one of the courses, two students presented a working software (only 2 out of the 18 students in class came up with a software, most of the other students found it too difficult to do so) related to their course topic. However, when grilled by the two lecturers on the contents of the software, they couldn't answer a single question. It was later discovered that they had paid another student close to RM500 for the software. And there were so stupid as to not even understand how the software worked.
And do you know the irony of the whole story? The irony was that these two students took an additional 3 years to complete the course when everyone else finished theirs in 2 years, my brother included. But the biggest joke of the whole thing is that these 2 jokers are now pursuing their PhD in England under a Malaysian government scholarship. And they will return home to Malaysia one day and tutor students in the local Malaysia universities.
And that is how Malaysia is going down the drain.
You cant make lazy people smart. Only hard work gets you to the top. But Malaysia believes in buying its way to the top. It's a country that is building on thin glass. Only time will tell when the thin glass will shatter and the whole country will be engulfed in a civil war.
Mark my words.
