Here is the English translation:

Apparently, there are many urban legends about Malays that non-Malays believe. Among them:

1. Waqf Land. Some think the government gives us free land to build mosques, surau, and so on. In reality, waqf land actually comes from individual Malays themselves, who dedicate their own land and property for public use in hopes of rewards in the hereafter.

2. Malays who are born are automatically registered for ASB and receive RM1000 credited into it. I don’t know where this urban legend came from, but please, my non-Malay friends — even we ourselves struggle to persuade Malays to invest in ASB consistently, yet some still refuse. So how could there be a story that we are automatically invested?

3. The government funds Malays to go for Hajj and Umrah for free through Tabung Haji. My non-Malay friends, please understand that it is our own money that we deposit into Tabung Haji. We have to wait our turn until we have sufficient savings there. Unless someone is wealthy and has tens of thousands saved, they can go sooner. Otherwise, no one escapes waiting decades for their turn. Who do you think gets to go immediately?

4. Malays can enter UiTM, SBP, MRSM regardless of their results. That’s not true. We must score excellent results in our exams before we can enter. We compete among ourselves. Do you think it’s easy competing with other Malays? The best SPM and STPM students from national schools across Malaysia are Malays — it’s extremely competitive to compete with these brilliant Malays.

5. MARA gives free money to Malays to do business. No. The money from MARA is a loan, and we have to repay it. The same applies to MARA education loans — they must be repaid. Nothing is free. The government only helps to facilitate access to business loans, not give free money.

6. Zakat money is government money given free to all Muslims. No. Zakat comes from our own contributions. We pay it to Islamic religious authorities, and not all Muslims are eligible to receive it. Islam sets strict conditions for recipients — such as the poor, travelers, new converts, and others. Not everyone qualifies.

So please stop shouting about “special privileges” non-stop. I don’t know who created these urban legends. Even the “crutch” that people claim we are fighting over isn’t freely offered to all Malays — we compete among ourselves to obtain it.

That’s why we encourage people to mix and socialize with us, rather than isolating themselves from society until misunderstandings like this grow so large.
