All men are equal before god but in Malaysia inequality is explicitly spelt via the Constitution. Certainly Irene caught the bull by the horn. This is not too bad but there are many Tuns, Tan Sris, Datuks and Pehin Sris already rich and powerful still enjoy the privileges of Article 53. Ironically the poor and needy in the longhouses are not even aware of their special rights, thus they remain poor and marginalised. PM must do justice to these Orang Asal (not Asli) who deserve these bounty.
