华人害华人？ Chinese Set Chinese Up?

At lunch today. My colleague makes another surprising remarks. He said that Chinese is the only race in the world who are willing to set other Chinese up in order to save themselves.

Is it true? Since he said so and he is Chinese himself, does that mean he will be self-fulfilling prophecies?

There must be exceptions. Some of us do have conscience.

I like what the Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah said in an interview:

As a rule, I do not get involved in politics. I am expected to remain neutral and above politics and I am very conscious of this. But I wish to say that the expectations of Malaysians have increased. They want their elected representatives to be more mature and to have more depth.

Sultan Sharafuddin: ‘There is a need for more common sense. I hope the politicians will take note of this.’

For example, I am disturbed that some of our politicians, regardless of their political parties, prefer to dwell on trivial issues. They are harping on issues that have no relevance to the country. With the global economic crisis, I would expect them to focus their energy and resources on how best they could help Malaysians face this financial uncertainty. But the issues that these politicians have brought up are disappointing. I am concerned with the manner some politicians exploit racial issues for their own agenda.

Malaysia belongs to all races, not just the Malays. The country is what it is today because of the contributions of all races and that is something we must acknowledge.
