The Pendatang Dilemma: Evidence from Germany and the Statistical Data of Malaya

Ze Germans have finally put their hands up........

Berlin, Germany (CNN) -- Multiculturalism in Germany has "absolutely failed," German Chancellor Angela Merkel told her party's youth wing at a conference Saturday.

"The approach of saying, 'Well, let's just go for a multicultural society, let's coexist and enjoy each other,' this very approach has failed, absolutely failed," she said in a speech.

The remarks echo a comment she made to CNN last month in response to a question from Becky Anderson about Germany's Muslim population.

"We've all understood now that immigrants are a part of our country, (but) they have to speak our language, they have receive an education here," Merkel told CNN's "Connect the World" program September 27. Go here

And this with only a small population of Pendatangs (about 5% of the population).......

Let us now reflect on our "experiment" in building a Multicultural Society.


The Pendatangs population that the home population had to deal with in the 20's to the Pre Merdeka period was very much different.


The Peninsula is the Pendatang Mecca.........the Capital of All Pendatangs in the whole Planet judging from our immigration rates Pre Merdeka...

Check out the chart below to understand the magnitude of what I'm talking about


Malaya: Annual data for Indian immigration and emigration exist from 1880 onwards and are accurate because of the Malayan government's role in bringing Indian workers to Malaya. Unskilled laborers from the subcontinent constituted the great bulk of the Malayan traffic, but the published data also include an unknown number of other Indians such as merchants traveling between the two countries. Until the 1930s, when demand for labor on rubber estates declined sharply, non-laborers were a small proportion of the Indian totals (Sandhu, 1969, pp. 95-125). Data source: Saw, 1970, p. 52. Almost all Chinese immigrants to Malaya first landed at Singapore. Beginning in 1881, records of Chinese examined at the port by its officials, by health officers or by the Chinese Protectorate (a government department set up to safeguard Chinese welfare) provide a reliable measure of annual immigrant inflows. But no statistics for Chinese emigration were kept before 1916, and until 1930 include only Chinese deck passengers departing from Singapore. Beginning in 1931 data are for deck passengers leaving all Malayan ports (in effect Penang as well as Singapore) and suggest understatement in the 1916-1930 departure figures. For 1911-1915 Chinese emigration from Malaya was estimated as 400,000 (Malaya, 1932, p. 113) and data for 1930-1939 refer to 1930-1938 only. Data sources: Straits Settlements,1881-1938 (from this source see years 1881-1911 immigration reports; Secretary for Chinese Affairs for 1930-1938; Progress of the People of the Straits Settlements for 1934-1938); Malaya, 1921, p. 21 and 1932, p. 113.

Since data on the Chinese Exit is incomplete from 1880 to 1915........kita semua tak tahu lah mana dia orang sudah pergi.......

But just look at the flow......if you were to sum up all the Turun Tongkang from Singapore......a total of 9,694,362 have landed from 1880 to 1939......

Banyok tu brader...........how many were properly counted anyway during all those census?

To all the descendants of the 9,694, 362 who have made Malaysia your "home" I want you to consider the gist of what Merkel said...........

Do you want to conduct yourselves as an Alien Population?

Or do you want to Integrate with the Mainstream Population......

The answer my fellow "Malaysian".........is so simple..............let us start with Language

Support Satu Sekolah Untuk Semua and let us build a Nation of Malaysians.........
