Couple holding hands arrested in Malaysia

I saw this white guy, just a few days ago, riding carefully, but shirtless, along Campbell Street. Is it an offence to ride without a shirt? this is news to me.. Not a crime, but certainly bad taste in a SE Asian country. You have to respect local sensibilities. My cousin who is a part time fisherman is shirtless and wear short pants when travelling around his village and when going fishing. Of course it is not appropriate to do this in the cities. |

If you called it "equalizing opportunities" it may be more acceptable Excellent summary again but adding "without destroying others' competitiveness", would make it complete. (and just as factual). You would prefer the violence of the sixties in Malaysia (and the recent violence in Indonesia)? Instead of destroying the racism that led to the chinese success in SEA, Malaysia had chosen to increase the competitiveness of natives by enhancing education and business opportunities, all without breaking any principle of justice and free handout. Since no extra money is incurred apart from the normal operating expenditure, the government can sustain the program longer. This is better than Hitler's style of killing Jews in order to balance unequal opportunities. Any attempt to disturb market forces such as EU and USA agricultural subsidies, will have undesirable consequences, so these programs had to be limited in scope, making the "equalizing influence" to be so slow. What Malaysia had achieved is prosperity, peace and diversity, in balanced proportions. |

I am a muslim and I always hold my wife hands while doing our weekly shopping and nothing happen to me. If you really want to bad mouth Malaysia that bad (and I did notice this trend based from your previous posting), at least try harder. Rgds, Mr Magoo |

[snip] Yes to respecting them, but you really found it hard to live by Malaysian rules while in Malaysia? Just which rule was hard for you? Not at all. I ment, it is not easy to keep allways in mind to behave differently as if being at home. Things, that are pretty normal here aren't there, and vice versa (ie. spitting on the ground or in a pot is very normal in many countries, but not here. [snip] Now I understand what you mean, and I agree. It may not be evident how one should behave in a foreign country, but it's important to find out and behave properly. I found myself looking with a disapproving, somewhat contemptuous eye at white men and women dressed in shorts in Kota Bharu, among Malay women in baju kurungs. There seems to be no end of heedless tourists... Michael If you would like to send a private email to me, please take out the TRASH, so to speak.
