Liar liar?

Lee Kuan Yew said...

"Our neighbours both have problems with their Chinese. They are successful. they are hard-working and therefore they are systemically marginalised," Lee said. [...]

Indonesia and Malaysia "want Singapore, to put it simply, to be like their Chinese -- compliant", said Lee, who was Singapore's prime minister from 1965 to 1990.


Najib said...

Najib said Malaysia did not marginalise ethnic Chinese or Indians in favour of majority ethnic Malays, who are known as bumiputras (sons of the soil).

"Malaysia does not practise a policy of blocking opportunities for non-bumiputras to progress further," he said.


Just ask anybody with some integrity, it's obvious who is lying. Just makes me amaze how leaders can tell such obvious big lies on newspaper. Hopefully they can refrain a bit during fasting month.

I recall the sad annual scene where high-scoring STPM students are 'rewarded' by rejection from local universities, denied scholarships; while watching undeserving Matric students filling up the uni places, or getting scholarships to go study-cum-travel overseas... and don't need to pay back, don't need to come back lagi.
