Don't buy from Parkson, William Cheng punya kedai, barang sangat mahal. Let's buy from Jusco, Jepun punya kedai, barang bagus. Buy from Tesco, Mat Salleh punya kedai, harga termurah setiap hari. Biar Parkson rugi sampai barang William Cheng tak boleh jual. Parkson akan turun harga.
Why ppl supposed to be well educated still think this is a zero sum game? We are all living in one country, these ppl still think when one race suffers, the other races will benefit from it?
Or when one race benefited, all other races will be suffering?
When will ppl in our country stop being so narrow minded and naive?
This mini-ster is unfit to be one already in this multi racial country. Najib must prove that he is not politically impotent by sacking this racist from his cabinet. If Najib does not do so, he is nothing but a political eunuch.
Let us boycott Parkson. Let us boycott Starbuck. Let us boycott Petronas. Let us boycott BHP. Let us boycott Petronm. Let us boycott mamak teh tarik. Let us boycott Old Town. Let us boycott Maybank.

Let us be self sufficient. Plant our rice, grow our vegetable, rear our chicken, teach our children, build our house, print our money...................
Fifty years ago back in the 1960s things were so simple. We were more relaxed and racial in those days and did not have so many hang-ups. We did not have to worry so much about what we did and said, like we do now. And we knew where we stood and the boundaries that we should not cross.
Today, Malaysians are so sensitive and paranoid. Must be careful about this, must be careful about that. Must watch what you do, must watch what you say. The stress level must be extremely high for those living in ‘multi-racial’ Malaysia.
In the 1960s, Malaysia was divided into urban Malaysia and rural Malaysia. There was actually quite a small middle-class, unlike now where the middle-class is very large and we even have an upper and lower middle-class.
In rural Malaysia, which was mostly Malay, the Chinese and Indians who happened to live there spoke Malay (sometimes better than even the Malays themselves) and never said the wrong thing (since they were the minority). Hence there was relative peace and harmony in the rural areas and even on 13th May 1969 people in the rural areas went about their lives like normal and without much ado.
I suppose when the non-Malays represent less than 5% of the population they know better than to stir the hornets’ nest (is it nest or hive?).
Politics also played a part, I suppose. The two main contenders were Umno and PAS. Hence it was either you voted secularism or you voted Islamist. Nevertheless, both were Malays, so it was a Malay-versus-Malay contest and there was therefore no need to play the racial card.
In the urban areas the Chinese were the majority so Malays were very careful when venturing into the towns. Even if you were insulted you blamed yourself for straying into the wrong area rather than get angry with the Chinese who insulted you.
It was a system that worked well. You knew your place and you kept within your territory. And if you made the mistake of straying into the wrong territory you accepted the punishment like a man (or woman).
I once witnessed (in the 1960s, of course) a Malay woman bargaining for something with the Chinese trader in Petaling Street in Kuala Lumpur. The price she asked for was a bit too low and the Chinese trader screamed at her, “Bodoh punya Melayu! Pergi balek kampung tanam jagunglah!”
The Malay woman just walked off as the Chinese trader continued to scream at her. There was no fight. No one made any police report. This Malay woman had strayed into a Chinese area and had upset the Chinese trader. So we all accepted that as normal and just shrugged our shoulders and walked off.
Can that happen today? Today there would be a police report, maybe even a demonstration. Umno, Perkasa and Isma would call for a press conference and DAP and PKR will ask them to show the proof that the incident did happen. In short, today it would be utter chaos.
I once ventured into an Indian area where the Kuala Lumpur Plaza now stands and got surrounded by a group of Indians. They wanted to know what I was doing in their area. I told them I was looking for a school friend of mine and gave them the name of my friend. Since I was a friend of their friend they let me go without a beating. If not I would have had to go home in an ambulance, assuming I was still alive.
Such incidents happened so many times in my life in the 1960s in Kuala Lumpur where I grew up that I have lost count. At times I got beaten up for being kwailan or langsi and at times I only ‘kena warning’ for looking at them in the eye (you are not supposed to have eye contact with anyone when you go to ‘other peoples area’).
But did we make it an issue? No! It was part of life.
No Chinaman or Indian would stray into Gombak, Kampung Baru, Kampung Datuk Keramat, Kampung Pandan, Kampung Pantai Dalam, Kawasan Melayu PJ, and so on. If you did and if you got beaten up then it was your fault for being so stupid.
No Malay would stray into Brickfields, Pudu, Bukit Bintang, Jalan Petaling, Jalan Pasar, Cheras, Jalan Ipoh, Jinjang, Kepong, Kampung Baru Sungai Buloh, Jalan Kelang Lama, and so on. If you did and if you got beaten up then it was your fault for being so stupid.
So we knew where we stood and we knew where we could and could not go. And we respected the right of each race to have its own area and would not stray into an area where we did not belong. And we accepted the punishment for this violation and respected the right of another community to beat us up if we dared stray into their area.
The politicians did not get involved and we left politics out of it. It was purely a racial thing and because of that we did not have any major race riot — maybe only small skirmishes here and there between different races, which was no big deal since it was only a clash between the races and did not involve politics.
Then, in May 1969, the politicians got involved. And that triggered the worst of the many race riots in Malaysia — yes, there were more than one, not just ‘May 13’. And since then we have
Then, in May 1969, the politicians got involved. And that triggered the worst of the many race riots in Malaysia — yes, there were more than one, not just ‘May 13’. And since then we have all become over sensitive about racial issues.
Sigh…how nice things were back in the 1960s before May 1969 when we accepted the fact that Malays, Chinese and Indians lived in their own areas and had the right to beat up someone from another race who strayed into your area without the politicians making a big issue over it like now.
So Malaysia’s problem is not racial. It is political. If the politicians would just stand back and allow the different races to hate each other like back in the 1960s Malaysia would be a much more peaceful place. Damn these politicians!
frankly speaking, if selling similar type of things, i feel non-chinese merchants are selling more expensive, they are not competative, that's why finally left many chinese merchants .... just recall your experience at mamak stall, malay food stall and chinese food stall, u know what i mean .....
All the present racial problems are caused by politicians !!! These idiots are out to get attention & political mileage ! They don't seem to realise that they are playing with fire which can turn our country into an inferno ... may God punish them !!!
Aiyah when you are not good ( talak isi ) then u main api, bakar sini bakar sana... then can curi curi makan. Race and religion is the best tool to divide and rule and make tons of money. Look at those countries in the middle east and our neighbour Brunei. Most citizen can be manupulate by these parasites. When there is major scandals they will incites races and religion to cover up the main problems. Oh I think our minister should BAN malay from buying all product from China just say it is not halal ( use religion very effective) oh yes iphone,Samsung also cannot use make in China by Jews connected company.
When one failed to get the traders (which should applicable to all traders) to reduce price. Then you just used simple solution by asking others to boycott. He just did not think smartly and has any initiative to find what his failure is. Nothing is impossible if you are smart. See, what happen now? Not only problems not resolved but creating greater issues such as one hating each other, hurting each other, never ending bad consequences and last but not least, you show the world how foolish and naive minister you are.
I urged you, ministers/politicians think wisely before act? We, innocent people want to live in peace, Please!!!
fukrai he is smart. He already achieve his aim to be well known and a worrior in the malay mindset. You know KuKlaxklan ideology champion unofficially by barang naik. Oh I forgot Future price for Sugar Is 15 cents USD per LB of about RM1.3 per Kilo. Ask why Bukakaki still selling sugar at RM2.5 and you need license to import sugar. License to screw 1 malaysia ????

DAP has been advised to stop talking about racism because it was akin to ketam mengajar anak berjalan lurus (Malay proverb which means someone trying to teach another person to do something they cannot do themselves).
This was said by Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob today who claimed that DAP’s move to label him as racist was merely accusing someone of behaving the way they had been behaving themselves.
“If DAP wants to talk about being racist, don’t!
“The biggest and the father of being racist in Malaysia is DAP. So they don’t have to accuse me of being one,” Ismail said to reporters today.
Speaking after the launch of Pasar Tani’s Turun Harga (bring down prices) programme in Ulu Kelang today, Ismail said DAP was merely taking advantage by linking what he had said on Facebook last weekend with racism.
Ismail also pointed out that several former DAP members had questioned the party’s sincerity in speaking about racism, and insulting Islam as well as Malay rulers.
“How many insults have there been against Islam, Malays, Malay rulers and many others. Why were there no police reports lodged by the DAP?
“If they are sincere, then there shouldn’t be double standards.
“Let’s not talk further on DAP. Everyone knows who they are,” Ismail said.
Meanwhile, Ismail said he would be giving a statement to the police with regards to his Facebook remark which had gone viral next week.
“I will only be free once the working visit by the Indonesian president is over. I have informed the police. I will do it next week,” he said, referring to the visit by Joko Widodo which began on Thursday and ended today.
In the remark which was screen-grabbed and had made headlines over the past few days, Ismail called for Malay consumers to boycott errant Chinese traders who refused to bring down the prices of their goods, despite the reduction in fuel prices.
DAP condemned the remark, saying it fanned racial sentiments with one of its MP, Tan Kok Wai, claiming that the statement had caused damage to the country’s race relations, urging for the prime minister to sack Ismail
"A Minister is someone who is authorized by religious organization to perform functions such as teaching of beliefs ; leading services such as weddings, baptisms or funerals or others providing spirtitual guidance to the community". In other word Minister of Bomoh for sure.
