Hate is not overcome by hate, by love alone this quell. This is the truth of ancient date to date. Famous icons like Nabi, Jesus, Buddha, Ghandi abhors these hate cultures and behaviours. Nabi talks about loving your enemies. It solves not problem but create hell...

I am also from a poor family before rising from Bukit Gantang, Perak. You know why kampung folks is always happy even though they are poor? All the races Chinese, Indians, Malays, aborigines knows everyone by name and helps each other, "telur sebiji riuh sekampung". When there is fruit seasons, you get baskets of free fruits (lower grades though) to share. Tiruk ikan, share with kampung mates. Gotong royong is common. Life is fun even though we are poor. These are all fast fading away.....as Malaysia modernise. Lets promote these spirit of togetherness and avoid hate speeches.....

The Malays poor mainly come from Malay Religious / 2nd 3rd tiers SK schools backgrounds. They are ignorant about NEP opportunities available. Many are drop outs and work as unskilled or semi-skilled labour in poorly paid agricultural or SME factories urban jobs with little potential for upward mobility.

The Malay poor also come from self employed backgrounds with businesses such as warung hawking, food stalls, etc. unable to succeed or grow because of competition and other factors.

These Malay are most vulnerable when they are unable to work due to ill health or old age as they do not have access to EPF savings or government pension safety net.

Because these Malays are poor, they are unable to provide the proper environment for their children to do well in their studies. This often leads to the reproduction of poverty in the family rather than socio-economic advancement for the younger generation.

One of the biggest handicaps of the Malay poor and their children is their inability to communicate effectively in other languages than their own dialect. This can be seen in the broken English or Bahasa Malaysia.

These Malay poor are almost completely ignorant about all government schemes providing skills training, income generation or educational and housing support and mis-out in these opportunities...

So don't blame Malays oke...It's Malaysia irregardless of races is having the same issues.
