Non-bumiputeras are compliant?

Read the below and make your own conclusion:
--Non-bumiputera top scorers are denied entry to critical courses at local universities and are offered forestry and fisheries instead.
--UMNO Youth attacking the so-called meritocracy system because there are less than 60% of Malay students in law and pharmacy, whilst conveniently keeping silent about the fact that 90% of overseas scholarship recipients are Malays and that Malays form the vast majority in courses like medicine, accountancy and engineering at local universities.
--Higher Education Minister promising that non-bumiputera Malaysians will never ever step foot into Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM).
--A poor Chinese teacher’s daughter with 11 A1’s being denied a scholarship, while some Malays who scored 7A’s and whose parents are millionaires being given scholarships.
--Prof. K.S. Jomo was denied a promotion to Senior Professor (not even to Head of Department), although he was backed by references from three Nobel Prize winners. His talent is recognised by a prestigious appointment at the United Nations.
--UMNO Youth accusing Chinese schools of being detrimental to racial integration, while demanding that Mara Junior Science Colleges and other residential schools be kept only for Malays.
--Malay newspaper editors attacking the private sector for not appointing enough Malays to senior management level, whilst insisting that the government always ensure that Malays dominate anything government-related.
--At our local universities, not a single Vice-Chancellor or Deputy Vice-Chancellor is non-Malay.
--In the Malaysian government, not a single Secretary-General of any ministry is non-Malay. The same goes for all government agencies like the police, armed forces, etc.
--UMNO screaming for the Malay Agenda, but accusing everyone else of racism for whispering about equality.
--A poor Indian lady having to pay full price for a low-cost house after being dispossessed from a plantation, whilst Malay millionaires demand their 10% bumiputera discount when buying RM2 million bungalows in a gated community.
--National schools becoming more and more Islamic by the day, enforced by overzealous principals.
--Form 4 World History (Sejarah Dunia) syllabus, which now contains only one chapter of world history, with Islamic history covering the rest of the book.
--Come National Day every year, non-Malays will be reminded to be patriotic.
