I have been to KK a couple of times and interacted with the local Malays there. I must say they are extremely friendly and through our conversations and their actions it seems to me they get along very well with the Chinese community there. One of them was even telling me his daughter was marrying a chinese.
In fact, the only place where I have found Malays less than friendly to me has been KL (But then i havent been to alls parts of Malaysia) and even then they are in the minority
You are right, we all live here in 80% harmony unless something triggers it to something bad...
Currently the malays rule..
the government try to give all the best to the malays..
what i see here is the Chinese have to work hard to support the economy
and all the best goto the malays..
buying property have 7% discount, get to university (without any A's) free while other race (with 2-3A's unable to attend government university) only until form 6, they also try to lower down the education standard so that match the malays intelligent (in the end all of us have lower quality because they want to show everyone the malays too can get A's) and so on...
Below is the list of treatment we get in Malaysia, and we have to keep quiet on that..
otherwise the Malays will not happy and they always mention if they were not happy with us, then they will be a repeat of May 13 (race riot-where the malays kill chinese)China Daily BBSList of Racial Discrimination in Malaysia

There are hundreds more racial discrimin ations in Malaysia to add to this list of "colossal" racism. It is hoped that the victims of racism will write in to expose racism. Malaysian Government should publish statistics showing how much Malays had benefited from the "special rights" of Malays and at the same time tell the statistics of how much other minority races are being discriminated. Hence, the responsibility lies in the Malaysian gov't itself to publish unadulterated statistics of racial discrimination. If the Malaysia gov't hide the statistics above, then there must be some evil doings, immoral doings, sinful doings and shameful doings, like the Nazi, going on onto the Non-Malays of Malaysia.
It's true.. that recently they have a debate in the parliment where they want to make sure all public listed company CEO and Managing Director must be Malays because they said we have to give them the chance to sit at high post because they were not clever enough to do it themself so other race must be fair to them and let them expose to high position...
Civilized nation, unlike evil Nazi, must publish statistics to show its treatment on its minority races, This is what Malaysia must publish...We are asking for the publication of the statistics showing how "implementation of special rights of Malays" had inflicted colossal racial discri mination onto Non-Malays.Ends
Now you guys know what our situation?? We are trying to pretend as nothing...
But actually deep inside, we know what happen to us all here...
