You prob...I am not so far removed as you may think. You probably know that the Chinese and Vietnamese tend to really hate each other and yet, an old and very patriotic Vietnamese woman I know very well surprised me once by saying how the Chinese who came to America did better than the Vietnamese because they helped each other and stuck together whereas the Vietnamese did not.<br /><br />This really does not need to be so complicated. All it takes is a cost-benefit analysis. Malaysia should only belong to the Malays (in my opinion) but if they all benefit from the Chinese and Indian minority, then it makes sense to have them but, as with any people, only as an 'added extra' so to speak. If they began to change the country, the culture and all to be Chinese rather than Malay, then that would be a problem but I have yet to see that happen.<br /><br />The ideal solution would be for the Malays to pay attention to what the Chinese do better and improve themselves to be just as effective in those areas. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be something people take to very easily. For example, England is wealthier than Scotland, Flanders is wealthier than Wallonia and Lombardy is wealthier than Calabria etc. The poorer areas take from the wealthier areas which causes resentment and anger when the better thing to do would be to understand why the one is more successful and adopt the same policies that made them so. Unfortunately, self-improvement is a hard sell, whether in Western Europe or Southeast Asia.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-77217912135939338012017-11-10T09:15:48.892-06:002017-11-10T09:15:48.892-06:00This is such a hard truth to accept, that immigran...This is such a hard truth to accept, that immigrants bring their culture and civilization with them and will change their host country, instead of the other way.<br /><br />I have read your writing above and agree with what you write. But there are several things that I'm still struggling to answer myself.<br /><br />Take for example Malaysia, despite the name Malay only make up just over half of the population and there are sizable non-native immigrants population such as Chinese and Indians. Does the country should only belong to the native Malays?<br />But there is a twist... the Malays are dependent on welfare and affirmative actions which are sourced from the Chinese and Indians. Can you imagine if for example in America the Whites receive welfare from Hispanics and Blacks? Also in Malaysia I hear that most of the Malays work as government officials while the Chinese and Indians work in private sector, so we can see who are the most productive and contributes more to the country's economy.<br /><br />The same things happened also in other Southeast Asian countries. The Chinese are almost always more dominant economically compared to the natives. But they can be like this by being hardworking, have good work ethics, diligent, frugal, etc. In short they have better culture than the natives.<br /><br />For the record I am a native Southeast Asian, but I have to admit that the ethnic Chinese are more driven and determined compared to native population. In my experience even the ethnic Chinese students study harder and receive better grades. The most extreme examples are Singapore and Australia, they are the most advanced country in the region despite being immigrant countries.<br /><br />This is the question that still puzzles me to this day. We both know that uncivilized, barbaric, and welfare-addicted immigrants to the west should not be allowed into at all. Also in the Roman example above, only the Italian Romans can be a true Roman and when they started including barbarians in their rank the empire started to decline. But what about Chinese immigrants and their descendants in Southeast Asia? Sure they are non-natives but they are also more productive and have better ethics. What do you think if you were in my position as a native Southeast Asian?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00896743040743242505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-25149735766598774112017-11-09T20:30:52.122-06:002017-11-09T20:30:52.122-06:00Mr. Mad Monarchist, you are one of the most sane p...Mr. Mad Monarchist, you are one of the most sane people around.
