Cent-GPS Study Criticism[edit]

Among the many criticisms of this page, the coverage under the subheading 'Racism in the Job Environment' seems really shallow and only focuses on the viewpoints provided by a single study that has been often criticized for their flawed methodology. A prospective contributor might do well to bring up the criticisms for a more holistic viewpoint, not to mention look out for better studies on the topic should they be available.

Addendum: Not to mention, there is no subsequent comparison to the state of affairs in the public/government job sector. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.146.57.170 (talk) 09:44, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In desperate need of editing[edit]

This is very hard to read (almost incomprehensible in places) and doesn't seem objective - more like someone's argument. This piece should include a run down on bumiputra provisions, recent and historical conflict/skirmishes, etc. There's a lot that is widely documented. I don't have the knowledge at hand to do this, but I hope this piece gets tidied up - if so I can help with the English. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.90.93.21 (talk) 12:21, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV[edit]

It would be better to have a native English-speaker write the article. The errors and absurdities are so numerous as to be nearly uneditable. The same is true of other Malaysia pages, for example to article on George Town. Manglish is fine in its place, but Wikipedia is not the place.

There are an awful lot of assumptions in this page. In the second paragraph of the demographics section, there are broad, sweeping generalisations about the roots of racism in Malaysia, yet not a single (non-Wikipedia) citation to back them up. The whole demographics section reads more like an opinion piece than it does an encyclopaedia entry, and the NEP section (which is otherwise fine IMO) requires many more citations.

The statement that the British brought the Chinese to the tin mines is simply false. Chinese owned and operated mines were functioning in the 1870s in Perak with tens of thousands of workers during the period of British non-involvement in the Malay States. The mines were financed by Straits Settlements Chinese, without any help or hindrance from the British.

Frank Swettenham is termed a "scholar" as if he was some sort of academic expert rather than a leading colonial official--- a fact which seems to have escaped our author's notice.

I'm frankly surprised this talk page is empty, I certainly didn't think racism in Malaysia was a particularly arcane topic... The 13th of May Incident, which is a vital case study of Racism in Malaysia, is written quite well and has a vast array of reliable sources.

The article needs an entire reworking IMO, if anyone is particularly knowledgeable on this topic and feels like taking it up, I for one would commend them. 129.127.113.28 (talk) 03:34, 27 May 2015 (UTC)AdamN[reply]
