As far as I can see, your statement "Are they given the affirmative
action?" relates to my comment that a lot of my esteemed bumiputera
colleagues are still relatively poor despite affirmative action. So
where is the lie in my reply.

You are the one who's lying. Or perhaps you are just blind. Of
course, the operative word here is "Officially". Officially, Malaysia
Boleh. Officially, the government and all politicians are clean,
incorruptible, efficient and selfless in their vision to create a
Bangsa Malaysia. It is what is happening unofficially that makes the
world of difference. I used to work with a Malay colleague whose
father was a Malaysian ambassador, no less. Yes he had a government
scholar****p. When I asked how come my parents, as humble civil
servants, could send five children to overseas universities while his
father, on an ambassador's income, couldn't afford to send one son to
study in the US, his reply was that it was expensive to send people to
study there.
I am all in favour of the government giving scholar****ps to bumiputera
students to better their op****tunities overseas, and I really do wish
them well. However, I do think that there are perhaps other
bumiputera in greater need than my former colleague.

I have. The place I used to work - one of the largest multinationals
and amongst the country's top tax-payers - is full of them. Want some
names???

I agree, some unscrupulous government officials have played their part
in corrupting the country. I also accept that it is not the UMNO
organisation or the BN which is to blame. However, the fact remains
that over the past 25 years, 1) the free press has been de-fanged; 2)
the judiciary has been neutered and 3) the opposition (up to GE12) has
been bullied into submission. This may well have been the
responsibility of one or two people in power. Unfortunately, in
turning a blind eye to this excess, UMNO and the BN machinery are
complicit in allowing the country to go down the drain.
But hey, don't take my word for it - ask the 50% of the voters who did
not vote BN this time around.
