It's a democracy. Have you ever been to Malaysia?

A democracy that treats some people more equally than others:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bumiputra

isn't much of a democracy.

Article 160 of the Malaysian constitution states:

Article 160 defines a Malay as being one who "professes the religion
of Islam, habitually speaks the Malay language, conforms to Malay
customs and is the child of at least one parent who was born within
the Federation of Malaysia before independence of Malaya on the 31st
of August 1957."

It's an islamofascist state that persecutes people of other faiths.
Just because they call it a democracy and/or
republic doesn't mean it is.

That is interesting because it has been previously very multi-cultural, and
quite probably still is.

There have been other states that either do or have referred to themselves
as a democracy. To mention a few - East Germany, North Korea, China
(People's Republic), etc.

No, no and again no. You have to understand the situation there was in
Malaysia in the 70's. Racial riots, tension in the streets. The only way
to stabilise the society was to make the Malays better off than they
were and the bumiputra policy has worked very well. Social stability and
a safe enviroment have a price.

However it may be time now to review the bumiputra policy.

Unmarried couples caught in Malaysia hotel raids

By Jennifer Pak
BBC News, Kuala Lumpur


Morality police targeted New Year's revellers
Fifty-two unmarried couples could face charges of sexual misconduct
and jail terms after being caught in hotel rooms by Malaysia's Islamic
morality police.
Scores of officers conducted raids on budget hotels on New Year's Day
in the western state of Selangor.
Those detained in the early hours of New Year's Day were mainly
students and young factory workers.
The Muslim couples are expected to be charged with the offence of
close proximity, or Khalwat.
Under Malaysia's Islamic Sharia Law, couples who are not married to
each other should not be in a secluded area or confined space, which
could give rise to suspicion that they were engaged in immoral acts.
A spokesman for the Selangor State Islamic Department says they chose
New Year's Day because many people are known to commit this offence
when celebrating a major holiday.
If convicted, the couples could get a maximum penalty of two years in
prison and a fine.
Sharia laws in Malaysia apply only to Malay Muslims, who make up over
half the population.

michaelnewport makes a point in his life with copy/paste, he never has
anything to say by himself.
Notorious spammer and virus bringer.
