Why is that even an issue? Or criteria?
Is this topics of her race necessary?
you are too generous with Fahmi. I'm not seen any minister over the past 10 years that seek to censor dissent more than Fahmi. Not even Badawi nor Najib nor Dr M nor Sabri
Why dont you have the part where you talk about if she is black or Indian?
I have to disagree with both of your opinions
I don't find her jokes funny at all but distasteful and hateful. She came across as having an axe to grind with Malaysia.

looking at the election results and votes percentage increase. there is a wave right now happening. call it whatever you want. green wave, malay wave, sanusi wave etc. even state like negeri sembilan are facing this wave. 15 percent votes increase to PN in 2023 compare to 2022 election. PN win 5 seats. 8 BN seats that BN won and 2 PH seat that PH won are under 750 majority votes. in Kedah, 14 percent increase of PN votes. in Selangor, 10 percent increase of PN votes. in Terengganu and Kelantan also have substantial vote increase for PN. total seats. PN 145, PH 80, BN 19. this is a referendum. a referendum especially to UMNO. two drastic things Umno needs to do right now for the party survival. First, Zahid need to resign. Second, Umno need to leave PH. we know both things would never happen. so umno self-destruction would continue. in G16, we would see the end of UMNO.

On Malaysia constitution, does the special position equivalent to special rights? Are they to be interpreted that way?
Yay.. this round opening and closing scores didn't burst my eardrums
Thanks @Simon Says Podcast for posting this video about affirmative action / supreme court. Here are the viewpoints expressed by Supreme Court justices regarding affirmative action. 1) This case is about a group called Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) who sued Harvard College and the University of North Carolina (UNC). They said that these schools were not fair in their admissions process because they were using race as a factor, which they believed was against the law. The law they referred to is the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment*. 2) The Equal Protection Clause is a part of the Fourteenth Amendment that says that every person should be treated equally by the law, no matter their race, color, or nationality. The SFFA believed that by considering race in admissions, Harvard and UNC were not treating all applicants equally. 3) The Court looked at the history of the Fourteenth Amendment and how it has been used in the past. They also looked at how other cases involving race and college admissions were handled. They found that while diversity in a student body can be a good thing, it must be handled in a way that treats all applicants fairly and equally. 4) The Court also looked at the idea of "strict scrutiny*". This is a way for the courts to look at laws to see if they are fair and necessary. If a law or policy is found to be unfair or unnecessary, it may not pass strict scrutiny and could be considered unconstitutional. 5) The Court found that the admissions systems at Harvard and UNC did not pass strict scrutiny. They said that the schools' use of race in admissions was not clear or specific enough, and it resulted in fewer admissions for certain racial groups. They also said that the schools' use of race in admissions seemed to stereotype certain racial groups, which is not allowed. 6) The Court also said that the schools' admissions systems did not have a clear end point. This means that there was no clear plan for when the schools would stop using race as a factor in admissions. This was another reason why the Court said the schools' admissions systems were not fair. 7) The Court decided that the admissions systems at Harvard and UNC were not fair and did not follow the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. They said that the schools' use of race in admissions was not clear, specific, or fair enough to be allowed. 8) However, the Court also said that schools can consider how race has affected an applicant's life. They can look at how an applicant's experiences with their race have shaped them and what they can bring to the school because of those experiences. 9) In the end, the Court decided that the admissions systems at Harvard and UNC were not fair and did not follow the law. They said that the schools' use of race in admissions was not allowed because it was not clear, specific, or fair enough. 10) So, the Court decided that the SFFA was right. They said that Harvard and UNC were not treating all applicants equally in their admissions process, which is against the law. They said that the schools needed to change their admissions systems to be fair to all applicants, no matter their race. *The Equal Protection Clause is a part of the Fourteenth Amendment that says that every person should be treated equally by the law, no matter their race, color, or nationality. *Strict scrutiny is a way for the courts to look at laws to see if they are fair and necessary. If a law or policy is found to be unfair or unnecessary, it may not pass strict scrutiny and could be considered unconstitutional.
Wow! That's simply enlightening topic. Good job.
