All Chinese Malaysians and Chinese Indonesians knows exactly how the Gov’t treats them.   From their great grand parents, to their grand parents to their parents, to themselves and to their children.  A recent evident was the Asia economic during 1998.  THIS IS A FACT that Dr Mahathir has repeatedly deny publicly.  How the Malaysian and Indonesian Gov’t attidutes towards the Chinese shows how these Gov’t see Singapore is no secrets.  
  

LYK gave a speech during the IMF/World bank meeting in Singapore on 15 Sep 2006 (Raffles Forum: Reflections on Good Governance). The above controversial remarks was made during the Q&A session in response to questions from the floor regarding "the little red-dot" surrounded by green, the famous dressing down by former Indonesian PM Habibie years ago. Habibie wanted LKY to endorse him together with the Chinese in Indonesia and he refused. Also, he mentioned about the causeway/crooked bridge problem with Malaysia (Mahathir).

Quote LKY:

"My hope is that there will be a government as equal to the job as the PAP was.

"We’ve structured the system such that the competent group that gets in will find a machine that works … run the system properly on the basis of merit, not nepotism, and you’ll always find a way out of a problem."

"At the end of the day, what every citizen wants is a good life, security, good health, good housing, good education and a future for their children. That’s good governance," 

Malaysia do have official discriminatory policies engrained in its public policy, and therefore Malaysian Chinese are systematically marginalized.  Malaysian Chinese leaders from MCA and Gerakan are also compliant to the whims and fancies of UMNO.  The Malaysian Chinese are also compliant to the point where we practice self censorship whenever it comes to ’sensitive’ issues.

And yes, the government do want Singapore to be compliant to Malaysia.  I mean, which government does not want to exert strategic influence on its neighbors?  I’m sure Singapore wants Malaysia to be compliant too!

The disturbing phenomena is that politicians still try to delude the ‘rakyat’ that Chinese are not discriminated against with their doublespeak.  Well, I believe Mahathir himself admitted that Chinese are discriminated against just before he stepped down from power. 

Whether discrimination is a worthy sacrifice for peace, or whether it is beneficial for the recipients of the affirmative action, are different topics altogether. 

it’s not my intention to get into an unproductive discussion. both dirty harry and mahathir are brainy chaps. no one has denied that. dr mahathir is respected in many ways. so is harry lee. harry lee has made singapore what it is today. but that’s no big achievement because he worked on easy material and no subsidy mentality. dr mahathir has made advances that even harry has to admire but the subsidy mentality in malaysia is preventing the country from being truly glorious. 

and what’s so obvious about harry’s observation? i think hishamuddin, kj and the lot making all the noise with the keris drawn out can answer this. period.

This kind of logic only confirm what LKY said its neigbours would like it to be..

[SK] Please DO NOT hijack the topic by telling us the human production statistic. The context here is about Lee Kuan Yew and Malaysians, don’t bring racial issues into the discussion, stick to the topic!
