Benji, your topic is a strong one. Yes, the social contract is no longer relevant to today’s society. The Malaysian society has been burdened by its effects since the day of its implementation. It removes the equal rights of a human being by favouring one race over the others. Yes, I understand it is a form of protectionsm but if you’ve seen throughtout the world, protectionism comes back to bite back with a vengence and the added “interest”. I have come to understand that this selfish contract is based on emotions and to some extent, “animalistic behaviourism”. Malaysia is a country full of potential, only to be limited by the people running it.

Oh yar, one more thing. Benji, can you not repeat the same points over & over again. Continuous repitition can sometimes bore the viewer.
