The answer is BIG NO. I have started my life living among excellent and beautiful Malays in the regions of a kampong Jawi, Kulim, Kedah way back the fifties and sixties. I remember throwing a hand made metal dart at a target and accidentally it pearced my childhood friend's (Azmi's betis)lower leg. His mother did not take any vengence at me instead embraced me like one of her own child making a silly mistake. We lived like one family celebrating different festivals without each looking down or scorning at each other.
Wasn't Islam the same at that time? In what way history has changed and the "Hollier than thou" attitude has crept into the minds of the ultra malays of today?
Who caused these changes for people living in communal isolations, if not for the Malay political parties themselves?
A Government having spent Billions of ringgit on the new generation of Malays, I feel a new threat is awaiting to this nation. This new generation has started to adopt and live with a new set of imported "beliefs" from certain middle east and Muslim nations.
Being nationalistic on languages should have buffer zones for greater insight of policies related to races, which we had in those days and never before we find such recent attacks on places of worships in particular the Hindus, Christians, the Silks and later others too.
We do not find all these problems when we had English as a medium of language.
What has happened? Is the "one God" that give rain, clouds, air, water, sun light has become different now? In Islam that god is called "Allah" and so others have theirs own too. What's the fuss?
Whether it is "Allah, Kudha, Rama, Shiva, Zorastra, Krishna", etc does it matter with our daily routine activities? It only helps to identify our beliefs and the way way we want survive as human beings. Only the ignorant segregates from the rest.
To quote a message from realised soul of Mumbai here:
"Harmony between the inner and the outer is happiness.On the other hand, self-identification with the outer, causes suffering."
From a sincere heart looking forward to humans to think, think, think, think, think, and go on thinking how to make this world a better place to live than to do anything to destroy everything that the wonderful humans have created so far.
They are not doing this with East- timor delegates but it is just piece of low class mentality that they want to show other. This country will appear as Pakistan , Sudan and Somalia one day.

Is this a work of the Malays that I know?
