the Malay problem [not dilemma]

Some quarters will never give up their rights to be stupid. First we had the young Malay graduates who didn't like one Gerakan VP's words because those words were "historically true, but hurt us much". Then now we have the accountant who's trying to block the Penang state government from putting up those multilingual road signs. Apparently it "was against Article 152 of the Federal Constitution, which made it clear that the Malay language was the country’s national language." This blatant abuse of the law is becoming more and more common among our citizens.
We non-Malays can also take some people to court for what they have said:
#1. Ahmad Ismail for calling us pendatang [most famous case]
#2. all those fellows who kiss the keris and call for Chinese blood

Actually these fellows should have been ISA-ed a long time ago. But these are not the only offenders. It will take a long time to find the rest of the culprits. Sad for us then.
