An idiots' guide to a little old trick ...

The little old trick of adik kaya-raya ini is not very difficult to understand: in order to protect himself and other Umnoputras from being questioned and challenged by marginalised Malays in Malaysia on the Umnoputra-dominated state's inequitable distribution of wealth, income and opportunities within the community, he pre-emtively diverts their attention and scapegoats the Chinese, twisting intra-racial class struggle consequent on pagar makan padi or musang jaga reban ayam into inter-racial tension.
