Dr Mahathir said that Malaysia’s largest ethnic group should have learned their lesson from history.
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 6 — The Malays still have not realised that hard work is the key to success, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad wrote on his blog today.
“Of course what happened to the country and the Malays before, will happen again. There are those that claim Malays are the Masters. Master of what? They are the poor, the unskilled, those that depend on the sympathy of others, is that a Master? Sharing some of his historical observations, he said that no Malay was willing to work in tin mines and rubber estates opened by the British; instead they opted to continue being rice farmers, fishermen or in the civil service.
He observed that the Chinese would normally migrate to another country if they find opportunities there, including the United States, Australia and other British colonies.
