Who Speaks for & defend the Malays in this Country?

1. What many saw as an ongoing conflict between the Malay's and the Non-Malay's intensified dramatically after the March 2008 elections. The disparity and conflicts has grown exponentially as Malay's and Non-Malay's alike continue to be victims of selfish politicians from both sides of the divide. Racial attacks has occurred along the corridors of power to parliament and ends up on the internet with various pro government and opposition bloggers slugging it out to win the hearts and minds of young voters alike. As of this writing, the racial hatred among races has still not subdued and the mistrust among races are at a all time high. 

2. As we cope with savage actions in a country where race politics has dominated for almost 60 years, we are inundated with analysis from political experts and pundits who blame United Malays National Organization (UMNO) for all the mess that we are in. At the same time, racist groups such as the Democratic Action Party (DAP) and the various clan associations continue to attack the Malays and holds UMNO responsible for all the ills in this country. 

3. Amid the rhetoric of hate and growing mistrust, manifest in both anti Malay and UMNO from the opposition, discrimination against Malays or hostility towards Malays has increased. In the aftermath of March 2008, the UMNO President, Dato' Seri Najib Tun Razak (DS Najib) emphasized that Malaysia was going forward and will ensure that all Malaysians feel that they are citizens of this country. Therefore he proposed the concept of 1Malaysia. However, the continued acts of racism by NGOs, statements by DAP, the Catholic Church and Namewee have inflamed emotions and distorted views. 

4. The religion of Islam and the mainstream Malay majority have been conflated with the beliefs and actions of an extremist minority of the country population. For example, in shopping malls in the country, job vacancy comes with a caveat that applying candidates should be able to speak in Mandarin or Cantonese, sometimes this job adds aren't even in English or in Bahasa Malaysia. How does the undergraduates from the mainstream Malay majority  are going to apply for a job that is reserved for the wealthy minorities. Therefore, the government comes up with certain policies to ensure that the mainstream Malay majority does not miss out on the economic boom of the country by giving preferential opportunities to the Malays in the civil service and etc.

5. The Question is, who speaks and defend the Malays in this country?
