COMMENT | How does one open the typical Malay mind?

This article is 3 years old

COMMENT | Whenever a non-Malay writes about some of the shortcomings of the Malays, one can almost guarantee the response, “Pergi balik Tongsan!”

If I were to write about the same flaws, common retorts are:

“DAPig, how much is DAP paying you?”

“You're a liberal and an LGBT supporter.”

“Why should we listen to you? By not wearing a tudung, you have ‘exposed yourself’.” (These are his words, not mine!).

Or the one that expresses feigned disbelief, “Are you Muslim?”

So, what will it take to open the typical Malay mind?...
