That's what Malaysian government always says to defend themselves. "You don't understand the situation here.", "Look at your country before you tell us what to do.", etc. But in this case, since it's US, they said the former instead of the latter like what they said to India for the criticism on Hindraf. I don't think the US can do anything to help us... Sigh...
Well, they are right. How can any civilized nation understand such a unique situation? Even in the case of apartheid in South Africa, I can understand that the minority whites use it to oppress the majority blacks and keep them in power and wealth. Well, it's the reverse over here! How can anyone understand the "logic"? It's so ridiculous, it's even funny. Even if they understand the concept of Bumiputra, can they understand the even more bizarre concept of UMNOputra? Or how some Bumiputras are more bumiputra than others? Oh right... Maybe they will understand the part about how some are "more equal" than others. Especially if they have already read George Orwell's Animal Farm.
