  Spending my free time reading a book "The Chinese Dilemma" by Ye Lin-Sheng. It writes about the situation that Malaysian Chinese has to confront one way or another: to accept the racial quota system at the mercy of the Malays or to fight for more equality and freedom as citizens of Malaysia. The author is sympathetic towards the pro-government viewpoint, giving reasons why the Chinese in Malaysia is better off compared to anywhere else on Earth. He did this while admitting that there were failings in the system such as: a 'normal' Malay kid who gains government scholarship compared to a 'smarter' Chinese kid who gets no help from the government to furthur his university education. A point worth considering: which other country allows Chinese education, Chinese ministers in the cabinet, Chinese cultural flourish and development, Chinese dominance of the economy?
There are countries that allow immigration and equal rights, such as the US, European countries... but the Chinese there would have already been "white-washed", they have lost most of their language, vernacular education and cultural development within a generation. This books makes an interesting reading, as it points out several interesting issues to consider regarding cultural assimilation vs. multiculturalism in the interaction of immigrant citizens and natives.
