A MESSAGE TO A LEADER OF MY NEIGHBOUR

 "Our neighbour" has a strict policy of not accepting refugees or asylum seekers, citing reasons like high population density and limited space. So please don’t bring up the word "pendatang" with twisted interpretation when you don't even have to deal with such issues unlike Malaysians, who openly accepted Palestinians and Bosnians, while you choose to do nothing due to fear of repercussions from your "allies/close friends" when your close friend betrayed you in the previous taxation issues.

Malaysia is still considered a harmonious country with a multiracial and multireligious society. We have laws in place to address 3R issues. While racism still exists in some corners, it has never escalated to a critical or emergency level. We are continuously working towards ensuring that every Malaysian has the right to live peacefully and with dignity in this country.

Many of you are known to work in Malaysia, especially in Johor Bahru, attracted by the lower cost of living and the opportunity for a better quality of life. Well then, why not implement a policy to prohibit your citizens from working in this so-called “racist” country?

Malaysia only uses the term "Pendatang" (immigrants) in reference to "Pendatang Asing Tanpa Izin" (PATI) what's the difference when you also use "illegal immigrants"? (try translating it to Bahasa Malaysia)

Malaysia is not known to use the term "golongan pendatang" to refer to anyone who is our citizen.

If such a claim is made, then please provide credible proof and verified facts - not selective or twisted political narratives meant to provoke or distort history.

If you’re going to talk about the so-called mistreated "race" (when they are doing very well in Malaysia) then let’s also talk about how a "minority race" are treated in your country. Not some cliche words/phrases and photos, but show me what happened to the "kampungs" now?

Do not drag in the 13th May incident that chapter belongs to the past and should not be used as a tool to fuel division in today’s Malaysia.

Malaysia is a multiracial country and even in states governed by the opposition, there is no known record of Malaysians being mistreated based on skin colour, social status, or personal background. Respect and coexistence remain part of our national identity, regardless of political alignment.

While we respect your country’s remarkable progress and achievements, we kindly ask that you do not tell us how to run ours.

I have many close friends and relatives living in your country, and I hold them in high regard.

So I will take your statements as your personal opinion, not a reflection of the views held by the majority of your fellow citizens.
