Azmi Sharom At The Ipoh Roadshow

by Crankster on February 7, 2010

Now this guy is a hoot.

But behind all the humour, he knows his stuff. He is, after all, a law professor.

He took us through Article 8 of the Constitution which provides that all persons are equal before the law and entitled to its equal protection.

An often quoted (or rather, misinterpreted) bit is Article 153 that safeguards the special position of the Malays and other indigenous peoples of Malaysia.

Proponents of the Ketuanan Melayu ideology claim that this gives the Malays the right to special privileges like housing and positions within the civil service.

The Malay supremacists have forgotten Article 136 which states that it is unlawful to discriminate against anyone in the government service because of their race.

Our civil service today is not reflective of our nation.
