Quote "Malaysia, which majority of it population is Malay or bumiputra. Vote a non-bumiputra as their idol. This might signify that youth in Malaysia is not racist."
Very simple, because there is not a single 'bumi idol'f or them to vote.
Did I said whole Malaysia? Can we said that the whole Malaysia collectively vote for our Prime Minister.
Danial get approximately 1.4 million vote whereas Rita (bumiputra/Malay)get approximately 0.8 million.
After Daniel won. You will see young girls crowded to see their new idol. Some of them wear "tudung"
Base on the response on phone call, letter to editor and discussion in blog. A large porpotion of Malaysia is watching the show.
