Penang Issue

When you see the title, you probably know what i want to say. For those who do not, I briefly go through. It happens on a normal day, suddenly a leader from political party said Penang Chief Minister (who is a chinese) is negleting the Malay in Penang. The saying immediately create unpleasent feeling to the chinese community.
They are (at least some of them ) try to remind us constantly that we are minority and we should not and not even close to challenge their stand as a majority. As we already know, the majority have many advantages in such as education and bussiness, they probably not satisfy with what they have now. If they succeed to gain more priviledges, in the other hand, the minority will have to take the "non-priviledges".
But the real thing is, even though the majority gain more priviledges, it is not evenly distribute among themself. Only a few of them take all those advantages, leaving others like before. The "majority-minority" thing also happen within the majority side. I hope you know what I try to tell you. Let me use the word "whealthy" for an example. Inside the majority group, There are a few whealthy people and others are poor. Initially all the priviledges gain are for all people in the majority group, but not all of them receive it. It comes out that the whealthy people take all those advantages and the poor one have nothing. the story would not end here, the whealthy people keep telling that there are still a lot of poor people among their group and request more priviledges. And the proccess run again. And the poor people will always be there.
From the surface, we might think that those people are "hero" to their group and fight on behalf of their people. But the sad thing is, the people is only as a tools to gain more advantages.
