In fact, they enjoyed a distinct advantage, especially in securing jobs involving trading with China and overseas/ cosmopolitan Chinese. Taking a non-political and non-legalistic view, I must disagree for Chinese ... http://www.theasianews.net/index.php/sid/214676702/scat/ed68ecccb9e5520c Tue, 21 May 2013 20:26:45 -0400 http://www.theasianews.net/index.php/sid/214676702/scat/ed68ecccb9e5520c #Ok Bah! is a regular column on Sabah and Sarawak that starts today.
