Malaysian Tamils = Malays ( Almost )

Title definition , Malaysian Tamil is one of sub ethnic from Malaysian Indians in whole. They also majority compare to other Malaysia Indian ethnic such as Malaysian Malayalee , Malaysian Telegu , and punjabi(even they not admit , lol ) . Tamils + Malayalee + Telegu + Punjabi = Malaysian Indians( A minority race in Malaysia ,just 7.6% from total Malaysian population ) . Malays are major race of Malaysia ( almost 63% from Malaysian total population ) . Today the topic only covers the Malaysian Tamils and Malays . In general both of this parties have many difference , from political power to population . But if look deep into their mentality , we can identify some similarities.

The most significant similarity which make me aware of this phenomena is , both , Malaysian Tamils and Malays have their own pride and ego as majority . As is say before , Malays are majority of Malaysian population , and Malaysian Tamils are majority within Malaysia Indian ethnic . This article basically will see how Malays show their ego as majority to other races in Malaysia such as Chinese and Indian ; Malaysia Tamils show their ego as majority to other Malaysian Indian ethnic , and identify the similarities.

Most visible example i can use as case study for this topic is SCHOOLs . First we look at Malays . The Sekolah Kebangasaan(SK) are claimed by Malays as a place to unite students from different races to build true MALAYSIANS . They encourage students from other races to join SK . Ya true, if student from different race study under one roof , it can build good understang among them . The hidden agenda of SK is to demonstrate "Ke-anggoggan Bahasa Melayu" . At the same time , Malays feel , they are majority , so other races must master their language(malay) and they do not have to care about learing other races language . If the Malays are really honest in building true MALAYSIANS through SK , they suppose include Mandarin( Major dialect of Malaysian Chinese ) , and Tamil ( Major dialect of Malaysia Indians) in the syllabus of the SK . Malays won't do that , because THE ARE MAJORITY , ego . Now we look at Tamil Schools( SJKT ) . The leaders of Malaysian Indians always stand up for rite of this schools ,they claim , this is the place to unite Malaysian Indians . Come on , it is not Indian School to unite the Indians, but it is just a "Tamil" School . It can be a place to unite Malaysian Tamils not Malaysian Indians . Why there are many Malaysia Indians prefer to send their child to SK rather than SJKT ? Are all Malaysia Indians are Malaysian Tamils ? no rite . For an example , just an example lol , as a Malayalee or Telegu , why i need send my son/daughter to TAMIL school to learn Tamil ?, its no my mother tongue what . Now you where is the failure of SJKT to unite the Malaysia Indians . Many Malaysian Indian leaders( most of them Tamils) aware of this problem , yet , they just close one eye to gain support of the majority( Malaysian Tamils ). If the Malaysian Tamils really honest in using SJKT as the place to unite the Malaysian Indians , they can include , Malayalem , and telegu in the syllabus of SJKT . They(Malaysian Tamils) won't do that ,simply because they are majority , they want other Indian ethnic learn their language(Tamil) , they do not care about other Malaysia Indian's mother tongue , ego .

Now maybe you star getting clear picture of similarities between Malays and Malaysian Tamils . Both of this group claim their self as uniting their country or race but fail to do it because of their hidden agenda and upholding their own mother tongue and ego as a Majority .If you have taffuntil now , ok let me help you . You must understand a east fact that , not all Malaysia Indians are Malaysian Tamil . There are other Malaysia Indians such as Malaysian Malayalee , Malaysian Telegu , or punjabe( im not sure , lol ) . Try to make this fact
clear and start read the article again .


Townguy will meet you all tomorrow with another case study to show more clearly the existance of this phenomena , stay tune with Townguy .

I took time to understand this article...Lol...Hopefully my comment won't be long.. :D

1st of all I beg to disagree in "The Sekolah Kebangasaan(SK) are claimed by Malays as a place to unite students from different races to build true MALAYSIANS." I don't think that is claimed by Malay as it is SK,not SA(Sekolah Agama). SK is not for Malays but it is for Malaysians. Why looking it at negative way?? I don't feel they have the hidden agenda to demonstrate ""Ke-anggoggan Bahasa Melayu" Nope... Bahasa Melayu is Bahasa Malaysia which is Bahasa Kebangsaan. Yes,Bahasa Melayu and Bahasa Malaysia is the same language,but national language is known as Bahasa Malaysia even though it is Bahasa Melayu.

In school we are taught in Bahasa Malaysia(Bahasa Melayu).It is agreed that Bahasa Melayu which is known as Bahasa Malaysia in the sense of "Bahasa Perantaraan" among Malaysians.If there is no "Bahasa Perantaraan",we don't have a identity as Malaysians.The "Bahasa Perantaraan" that makes us united.And Bahasa Melayu is a language that is created using words from Sanskrit, Arab, Parsi, Portugis, Inggeris languages.

Its not that Malays feel that they are the majority , so other races must master their language(malay) and they do not have to care about learning other races language. It's not that at all.We are learning Bahasa Malaysia.Btw,isn't that is advantage for us to master more then one language. And in this case,we shouldn't stereotype.

So,now on "If the Malays are really honest in building true MALAYSIANS through SK , they suppose include Mandarin( Major dialect of Malaysian Chinese ) , and Tamil ( Major dialect of Malaysia Indians) in the syllabus of the SK . Malays won't do that , because THE ARE MAJORITY ,ego". Again,it's not Malays who wanna build Malaysians but all races.

And it is not that Malays don't want to include Mandarin( Major dialect of Malaysian Chinese ) , and Tamil ( Major dialect of Malaysia Indians) in the syllabus of the SK,but it isn't in our education system which the minister is UMNO dude.And,even Indians are not learning Tamil,whats more with other races? The main fault is within the education system. Take a look at Singapore education system. IT IS COMPULSORY EVERYONE TO LEARN THEIR MOTHER TONGUE LANGUAGE.

So,as the first move,the same system should be implemented here,and then you may go for a bigger range.And asking others to learn another race's language is kinda hard as we have this "Malayalam and etc" to stir the pot ....Then all ethnic will be asking their language to be taught too.Will be a havoc then..

Now moving to Tamil schools.

"Why there are many Malaysia Indians prefer to send their child to SK rather than SJKT ? Are all Malaysia Indians are Malaysian Tamils ? no rite . For an example , just an example lol , as a Malayalee or Telegu , why i need send my son/daughter to TAMIL school to learn Tamil ?, its no my mother tongue what ."I don't get this part.

"If the Malaysian Tamils really honest in using SJKT as the place to unite the Malaysian Indians , they can include , Malayalem , and telegu in the syllabus of SJKT".LOL...again,the fault is within the education system.

They(Malaysian Tamils) won't do that ,simply because they are majority , they want other Indian ethnic learn their language(Tamil) , they do not care about other Malaysia Indian's mother tongue , ego...Oh gosh....stop differentiating within the race. THIS IS WHAT STOPPING INDIANS FROM BEING UNITED UNDER ONE RACE.Im not saying they should forget their mother tongue and learn Tamil or what. But there should be tolerance among the damn ethnics. Let them learn more then one language,nothing wrong it. The education system should make it compulsory for all to learn their mother tongue and have extra classes like chinese,malayalam and etc so that individual can choose what language they have interest to learn.Not by implementing all languages and then create a havoc.

I studied in SK school and they did offer Tamil class and to disappointment,there were only 5 of us who attend the class and later on it was stopped as no respond from other students.This would have not occurred if the Tamil class was made compulsory for all Indians like in Singapore.Stop differentiating Indians.See them as only Indians rather than Telugus,Malayalam and so on.

And finally,during my secondary school,it was compulsory to go to Tamil class and now I know how to read and write. As for my friend who is Malayalam,she now know to read and write Tamil and Malayalam languages. Thats the advantage...And I'm trying to learn Malayalam.We should be united not being selfish.

All the fault is with our damn education system. Sigh...And with some people's mentality being selfish of own ethnic. To hell they lead the future for being like that.

Hidup Bertoleransi Dan Bersatu Padu. Learn as much as language you can. We shouldn't stick to things we ady know...There is a lot more to explore.

P.S.Hopefully comment not so long.... :P

I think all vernacular schools should be abolished and everyone should only study in SK instead of SJK. We should be proud to learn Bahasa Malaysia since it is our National language

Malaysians will be forever not united if we champion that there must be different school for different races. This only creates stereotype of other races. We grow up not understanding each other and by the time we meet in Secondary school, it is already too late.
