One of the reasons why Indonesia hates Malaysia is that Indonesia sees their neighbour country as an arrogant country. No offense, I’m a Malaysian, but I admit that most Malaysians like to be proud of their country’s latest achievement. (Example: Stable economy). We tend to belittle our neighbour country, Indonesia. Little did we know that Indonesia is somehow a bit better than us, yet we think we are THE BEST in the world. Our “arrogance” had caused the Indonesians to rage against Malaysia. The murder of an Indonesian maid made it even worse. Shortly after that, the Indonesians made a large scale protest to display their anger against Malaysia. Well, for the Indonesians, it seemed that they have relevant reasons to hate Malaysia.

However, the Malaysians should no be blamed 100%. Being angry at their neighbour country for being arrogant is normal, but planning to wage war against the neighbour country is something abnormal. If this issue is not solved quickly, our situation might be just like North Korea-South Korea. Indonesia just need to take it easy. Burning Malaysia’s flag and mocking the country’s leaders does not help solving your problems, dear Indonesians. In fact, your so-called “patriotic” action by declaring war against Malaysia is considered idiotic by several high-class nations. So please, we need to solve the issue before our situations changed for the worse.

Indos must face the fact that it is their failure (since it is their government’s failure, and their government is indeed chosen by they themselves) to curb inaccurate, and more worrying, false media reporting!!!

In order to resolve any problem, Indos must first admit that they are wrong, in letting their influential, corrupt media to continue tarnishing Malaysia’s image.

Indos who come to Malaysia, know how good Malaysian media are, in that we were never provoking or picking bones, especially given how disrespectful many Indo immigrants are towards Malaysian law.

In the 80′s Indo immigrants started entering Malaysia by millions. Until recently, up to 90% came in illegally, some without even any piece of travel document, albeit passport, let alone a “real” working permit.

Illegal Indos who got caught, had been, and are given humane treatments in detention centres, which to date had caused Malaysia billions of RM, especially in the cost sending these illegals back via air.

Many of them, in the short space of just a month or two, entered Malaysia again, as illegals, with fresh fake passports, bearing new names, whoever they wish to be!!!

Now, please tell us Malaysians, who is again at fault here, if it’s not the Indo authority? How lax is the law enforcement, and how outlaw is the average poor Indo who shamelessly, and repeatedly enter Malaysia this way?

When Malaysian authority decided to follow in Singapore’s footsteps of caning illegals and repeat immigration offenders, the Indo government protested strongly citing humanitarian grounds, but Singapore went ahead anyway. Malaysia, on the other hand, heed, and such an act of tolerance, is repaid by more illegal Indos entering, and leaving Malaysia, as though they are in their own land.

The number of illegal Indos in Malaysia now could be 3 million, with 3 million already neutralised, in Malaysia’s continuous efforts to curb this problem. The statistics for illegal Indos who commit crimes like snatch thievings, armed robberies, house and business premises’ break ins, rapes and murders, FAR OUTNUMBER crimes by locals!!!!!

And in order not to spark off riffs, Malaysian media normally would not report on the nationality of knive (parang, kerambit, etc) weilding thieves shot by policemen, because they know too well how Indonesia as a country would react to such news, no wonder how truthful it is.

To us, a criminal is still a criminal, be it our own national, or otherwise. How can Indos be sensitive, when it is their fellow countrymen who are commiting crimes in their neighbouring country? If a Malaysian commits a crime in Indonesia like Dr Azhari did, it’d be magnified 1000 fold. But do Indos know that his parents are from Indonesia. Dr Azhari could have been born in Malaysia, that’s it. He spent almost his whole life in Indonesia, and is very much Indonesian at heart, and in all aspects of his speech, thinking and personality!!!

If he was the cause of the term Malingsia, then please read on carefully, and tell us sincerely do Malaysians flock to Indonesia and become malings? Or Indos come here, some for the deliberate purpose to amass wealth through the profession of malings?

With only about 2% Indos in comparison to the Malaysian citizen poplulation of 30 million, you will find it awesomely overwhelming that > 70% of the prison inmates are Indos. This doesn’t at all mean that Malaysian criminals are so much better at escaping with all the crimes committed, mind you!

Most Indos who enter Malaysia are the hardcore poor, extremely lowly educated, but with extremely high hopes of turning their lives from rags to riches. Little had they given a thought, that most Malaysians are well educated, possess great mastery of English, and with great computer skills. So, these Indos, who are surely losing in job competition with their countrymen in big cities like Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung and Medan, suddenly realised that in Malaysia, the competition is in fact so much tougher than in their own country.

In the end, Indos here take up jobs which Malaysians, just like Singaporeans, don’t want, given the higher skills which the locals possess. Multinational companies, especially Food & Beverage firms like McD, KFC, Starbucks & Coffee Bean, just will not hire Indos, for sheer fear of the poor quality of service, customer relations, and particularly, the cleanliness, which most immigrant Indos here are just not well known for.

Most of these US establishments are synonymous with extremely high hygiene standards of practice and service quality, and they find it too much of a risk to take, especially in legal suits, should they be dragged to court, especially due to a cleanliness issue.

So, Indos are thus hired as stall helpers, and food court outlets staff, where the standards are less rigid. Regardless, the pay is in about the same range in most establishments, as in the more well known multinational F&B outlets.

Indos workforce in Malaysia are well known to steal from the cash registers and their employers, and generally do not enjoy the perception as being trustworthy by employers, especially the Chinese, in handling money. Maybe, it is due to the fact that, villagers in Indonesia have high expectations on Indos who work in Malaysia to bring back tonnes of cash, since it’s easy to make money here in contrast to their own job scarce land. It’s the mentality, again, the wrong way of thinking, social dogma, which utterly force the normal Indo worker to commit petty theft.

In Indonesia, money is everything. The rich can treat their workers badly, and still get away with it, because over there, money means invincibility. And do Indonesians dare cross their angry Chinese Indonesian businessmen by stealing from them? I’d say a resolute NO, since they know how dire the consequences of their actions can be. They could be tortured in jail for years in their own country for committing small offences.

But, in Malaysia…..Indos just do as they wish, since they know Malaysians are so sympathetic, ever so forgiving. Besides, there is always the backing of their emotional countrymen who just love to pick up fights with Malaysians, no matter how small, or how wrong their actions are in the 1st place.

My point in summation is, the way of thinking of most poor Indonesians is just UNBELIEVABLE. They are just not able to distinguish right from wrong, when it comes to their own corrupt patriotism and love for their compatriots.

Maybe, in Indonesia, they could just go into someone’s home without knocking, and asking first for a permission, take whatever they want from the house, and then have the audacity to call the house owner a Maling!!!!!

Well, that’s just what they’ve been up to here, they come to Malaysia illegally, earn a living, be it honestly or dishonestly, only to “gratuituosly” return a favour by calling the locals Malingsia, the very same people who all these years patiently tolerate their amusing antics, but at the same time, question their Muslim beliefs and ethics.

Who are indeed the Maling here? Malaysians go to Indonesia to work, and steal from the Indos? Well, I’ve heard of none in my 40 years of life so far. Besides, who would want to go there when our country is so much more blessed with harmony and prosperity, that it evokes extreme despicable jealousy, from Indonesia which is struggling to fight a losing battle to feed millions who still die from hunger and poverty.

It is never my intention to belittle Indonesians, but until the well to do amongst Indonesians admit that theirs is a country with extreme basic survival needs, necessities and rights issues, the problems will remain, and might even worsen. The rich like to turn the other way when discussing this, but it does hurt them when Malaysians call Indos disrespectful of the Malaysian law and the Malaysian people, coz hey, after all, they are Indos too!

yess…mossad mmg pakar dlm melaga2kan negara..but for indonesia’n guy, no offence, indon suka sgt mengikut hati n bukkannya akal..entah kenapa, w’pun kita dr rumpun yg sama, tp hati n jiwa kita mmg berbeza…lg pun yg kena dera kt sini tu, 3 or 4 cases jer compared to the amount that is working here..even kalu kire percentage pun, is dikira kes terpencil, plus..xda pun majikan melayu yg dera pembantu indon, tp pembantu indon yg suka dera majikan melayu..sguh tidak mengenang budi..

jd, bagi kita semua, ketepikan semua isu yg bodoh tuh, bersatulah, demi rumpun, negara dan agama kita..indon juga, ingat siapa yg selalu tolong anda bila ditimpa musibah…
