A whole load of BS. Ask the Chinese and Indians citizens of that country on how it feels living under an apartheid like system. And that's not taking into consideration the endemic corruption and Islamist agenda. Malaysia was a country that could have been(compare Singapore), instead it will always be a mediocre and semi-developed corrupt nation like most countries in that region. A great place for a holiday or rich Westerners to retire, but a person of colour would want to stay away. The so called Bumiputera have all but destroyed that nation and if not for the Chinese it would just be another Indonesia.

It's bad, but not that bad. We get discriminated against but not actively attacked.

> but a person of colour would want to stay away

We don't really have a problem with racism against people of color, especially considering the ruling class isn't even white.

Singapore is an extreme outlier. Even without an Islamic government, I'm not sure it'd be possible for us to do as well. Chinese Malaysians have a lot of cultural issues as well and would've probably led to very similar corruption.

Apartheid? In India?

it reads to me as "discrimination toward Chinese and Indians in Malaysia". It's an Islamic nation, one of the nicer ones to be fair.
