SIAPA DAPAT MENTERJEMAHKAN ?
The Chinese Dilemma is a book written by Ye Lin-Sheng, published by East West Publishing Pty Ltd, Australia in 2003. The title of the book echoes Dr. Mahathir Mohamad's The Malay Dilemma and according to the author himself, "this is entirely deliberate".[1]
2. The writer's motive: In the preface to the book, Ye Lin-Sheng said that the arguments that he had put forward are "not intended to score points for any side, but rather to foster understanding between the peoples of Malaysia". He said that he had dwelt on "the Chinese dilemma" in Malaysia ever since he read Mahathir Mohamad's The Malay Dilemma (1970) and had in 1990, began to put his thoughts on paper. At the end of the chapter entitled "Introduction", Ye Lin-Sheng said, "I am sure my views will draw detractors from all sides. However, I can claim to be true of heart. I have no political axe to grind, nor do I harbour any political agenda, and there is certainly no money in this. As for posterity, I have always thought it overcrowded with names already, and in any case, any Dilemma it remembers will be The Malay Dilemma! It is my hope that this book will be read, and not only read but discussed, because if I have any purpose, it is to encourage debate and reflection, which in turn would help us Chinese to see our way forward in Malaysia more clearly."
3. Central thesis in the book: Early in the 204-page book at Page 37, Ye Lin-Sheng, after giving a brief background of himself and why he wrote this book, put the cart before the horse by concluding, even before he even started to debate the issues, by saying:
"What is my premise? It is that the Malays are the hosts, and we Chinese and Indians the guests. We came in such large numbers that it is no wonder the word "annexation" has been used of us. Indeed, it could be said that the Malays allowed us to pitch a tent and we ended up taking possession of the land.... If I were Malay, I would not have allowed such a state of affairs to go unchallenged: my sense of pride and honour would not allow it. Malay self-esteem would require that, having rid themselves of the colonial master, they wrested economic power from the Chinese."
Such a stance would no doubt endeared him instantly to the Malay populace, whether his subsequent arguments are valid or otherwise. And having said that, the rest of his book attempts to justify his position by showing why Chinese Malaysians should count themselves lucky to be living in Malaysia. And to justify that contention, he said:

And having said that, the rest of his book attempts to justify his position by showing why Chinese Malaysians should count themselves lucky to be living in Malaysia. And to justify that contention, he said:
"I also look at the lot of Chinese and Indian migrants to other countries and that of those who had stayed home. This is enough to make me feel thankful that I am here and not there. To take the Chinese first, think of those Boat People (many of them of Chinese origin) forced to flee Vietnam, think of Cambodia where the Chinese were killed or driven away, think of Indonesia, with its persecution and expulsion of the Chinese, think of the Philippines where for so long, the Chinese were effectively denied citizenship..."
In short, like the proverbial half-past-six doctor, he is saying, "Look here... you are just suffering Stage 2 cancer. Can't you see that patient on your left, he is having 3rd stage cancer, and the one on your right, he is a terminal case. Now, don't you feel yourself lucky now?" Ye Lin-Sheng makes no mention of the Social Contract, as embodied in the original Constitution of Malaysia (not the one-sided amendments to the Constitution, following the May 13 Incident), nor the teachings of Islam, the official religion of Malaysia. Had he done so, his arguments will fall flat on its nose and his book will not be worth the paper it is written on.
4. Personal comments: Ye Lin-Sheng argues that whatever the cost, the benefits of the New Economic Policy are indisputable. Let me sell him a Proton Saga for the price of a Mercedes and see if we will agree. As B. Venugopal wrote in The Malaysian Insider, "that is why, in the West, religion is separate from government and the best people for the job are promoted, and even if there is bias, it's not propagated by the government".[2]
Yuna says: "But then there is also the other side that is keeping us apart — that negativity which brings out the horrible [side] in people. There was that time they carried the cow head in a demonstration in Shah Alam. That was very unnecessary. I was disgusted because firstly, that is an animal’s head, and secondly, it represents the mentality of some people. Not all Malay [Malaysians] are like that but they go in one group to say “We, the Malays” or “We, the Muslims feel this way”. It’s not like that at all. We really need to get rid of that mentality." [3]
Reviews in the internet claim that Ye Lin-Sheng not only queries many of Mahathir's ideas, he also challenges the simplistic views of the leader's Chinese and Western critics. Unless I missed something, I do not see anything more than a token objection to Mahathir's arguments in The Malay Dilemma. On the contrary, his unquestioning and uncritical acceptance of Mahathir's arguments in The Malay Dilemma, save for some token objections here and there to show that he is not, seems to give the impression of what Lilian Chan would have called "the most por lam pah man on earth". Like a cow led to slaughter, he came to the very same conclusions that Mahathir did. Take, for example, Mahathir's analogy cited by Ye Lin-Sheng that "the Malays and the Red Indians of America are more or less in the same category. Malays are accepted as the indigenous people of the country, but the country is no longer exclusively theirs".[4] Ye Lin-Sheng has absolutely no quarrels with Mahathir's dishonest contention, even though it is crystal clear that the actual indigenous people in Malaysia are the orang asli, while the Malays are equivalent to the whites in America. And who is this Mahathir, if not an Indian by internationally-accepted convention.
So what is Ye Lin-Sheng's motive in writing The Chinese Dilemma? Only God knows, but one cannot discount the fact that in publishing the book in his retirement, he may well be hoping to be appointed head of some government agencies or at least, a datukship award. Looking at his treatment of the Chinese dilemma, I can only parrot what Lilian Chan had to say about Koh Tsu Koon, "Ye Lin-Sheng ah, I think you are the 2nd most por lam pah man on earth!" — with Syed Atief, Azizah Johor, Muhammad Amin Zakaria and 23 others.
