Rising Racial Tension in Malaysia

Adverse possession - a legal concept that can turn a squatter into an owner - should be borne in mind by the maker of that statement that the Malaysian Chinese citizen is but a mere squatter in Malaysia.
It is unfortunate that such petulant statements have been made, but resentment of the more economically canny Chinese by the laid-back Malay has echoes in Britain today, where the white indigenous working classes feel they have the bread taken out of their mouths by foreign workers prepared to work harder for less.
The truth is that Malaysia is now swamped by other immigrants - from Indonesia and Bangladesh - and most Malaysian employers declare their preference for foreign labour, because the locals are lazy, do sickies, are full of excuses and don't know the meaning of hard work ...
In truth even the Malays are not as indigenous as the genuine aborigines of Malaysia, ie the Dayaks, Kadazans, Negritos, and have in their turn exploited and sidelined the previous occupiers.
A comment has been made by a Malay that the Chinese are the Jews of Asia and just as unpopular.
The truth is no one likes the class swot. The desire and temptation to tear up his books and smash his glasses is never far away.
Let us hope that Anwar, smeared as a sodomite by the ruling party, who has nevertheless managed the feat of keeping together a coalition of
(a) liberal Malays keen to give up their race privileges because they find their protected status unedifying and unnecessary,
(b) an Islamic Party that says it does not really want an Islamic state and
(c) non-Muslim non-Malays of liberal-socialistic bent,
will keep the racial lid from boiling over, perhaps by gently pointing out to the offended Chinese the existence of squatters' rights.
THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.

Foreign workers here are usually prepared to work harder for less - not necessarily because they are more virtuous than indigenous workers, but because they frequently send their earnings home to their own countries where they are usually worth much more, and where such earnings can – indeed - even buy them a good life.
However, since the white indigenous working classes are by and large solely resident in the UK, they do not have the same motivation to work quite so hard for far less than trade-unionised manual labour would have brought them in the past.
I wonder if the Chinese 'squatters' in Malaysia are sending their earnings home to China.
It seems rather unlikely - and the Malay 'squatters' comment seems more like jealousy of harder-working and economically more successful types to me.
Speaking from a bit of knowledge of squatters in east London from about 30 years ago, squatters rights tended to kick in when the owners were too lazy or apathetic to recover their property within a given space of time.
Provided they did so - and energetically - the squatters could effectively be sent packing.
But if the owners took no action, squatters could - and occasionally did - use the courts and their sometimes lengthy de facto occupation of housing to gain full possession of it in the sight of the law.
Therefore, should immigrants be squatting in one’s country, one really ought to take prompt action.
Failure to do so will create intractable problems of ownership.
For whose country is it, after all?
Clearly the so-called indigenous people did not sufficiently regard it as theirs if they were prepared to tolerate the squatters for so many years.
It’s no use turning upon one’s guests later on - simply because there is now an economic downturn and they appear to make a convenient scapegoat.
