Me: I appreciate the tenor of the conversations. I think it will actually yield results before the end of the year, and I look forward to continuing this dialog in the months ahead.
Everybody do the Michigan Rag
Everybody likes the Michigan Rag
Every Mame and Jane and Ruth
From Weehauken to Duluth
Slide, ride, glide the Michigan
Stomp, romp, pomp the Michigan
Jump, pump, hump the Michigan Rag
That loved rag!

By the way, just to remind Malaysians, from the government own statistics, 95% of unemployed graduates are Malays! Is anybody surprised, they can only speak Malay fluently, primary school English, if at all and no Mandarin. Further, they have lower entry qualifications and priority in the public sector and education. Wonderful isn't it? But then, comes payback time when it comes to finding a job! They are only fit for menial jobs and how many are suitably qualified to migrate overseas? But than why should they, although not orang asli or natives of Malaysia, just the "Princes of the Earth", Malaysia belongs to them, not to us Pendatangs who came later.
An additional point, from my own experience and from those of friends and colleagues, Malay graduates tend to ask for salaries which are up to 1/3 lower then non-Malay graduates. The first time it happened to me, I was surprised but I was informed by them, that was the reality of the private sector job market. Malay graduates have a reputation for not being able to communicate fluently in any language except Malay, not as hardworking as non-Malays and prone to envy of those who do better than them.
A Malay friend who graduated and worked in UK for a number of years, told me that when she went back to Malaysia to work as a legal advisor for MAS, the legal department was almost all Malays. As she was used to the working atmosphere in UK, she finished her work quickly and efficiently. She would also helped out her colleagues in their work if they requested. After a while, she realised that she was doing their work and they were basically letting her do the work that they were suppose to be doing. When she realised and stopped doing her colleagues work, her colleagues started complaining and nagging about her, and said that she was sombong. In disgust, she quit and is now working happily in Singapore where her talents are well recognised and well paid.
It is a fact that the Malay work culture in Malaysia is mediocre and that they are lazy! Mahatir in his last year as PM, used to railed against them. One of my favourite sayings of his, an ultra Malay, about the Malays is that "Ask a Malay to work hard, he gets sick. Ask a Malay to climb higher, he gets nose bleed!" My experience with Malays who have worked successfully overseas for a number of years, cannot adjust themselves to the Malay work culture when they are back in Malaysia. Many prefer to set up their own business or migrate overseas.
Don't stop your plans because you are too busy worrying about tomorrow, don't worry about tomorrow until the day is done, by then it will be today and you're worries will be over and you can go about your plans.
Never give up.
