The Culprit Behind Demonstration on UiTM to open 10% to non-bumi

The recent demonstration by students of UiTM is a shame.
It shows their ignorent and inner fear of being left out by their act of no confidence in themselves. The government authority & their leaders have been telling them they are not ready to open up the so-called monopoly in UiTM that it was built just for them exclusively years ago, with public money. After 50 years of independence (Semenanjung only), the non-bumis questioning why the surplus in the institution could not be used to accept any non-bumi students who has problems to get a place of higher learning in the country. The call by Tan Sri Khalid of the PKR is considered very generous and understanding of him to appeal for the waive of restriction by initially offering 10% enrolment only and it aroused huge negative response from the bumi group led by the student of UiTM. The students were actually used by certain group to protest on behalf of some politicians. I thought the University Act forbidding these kids from carry out demonstration or politic...Worst, they had a police permit to legally doing it!
Even the Higher Education Minister and Deputy Principal of UiTM joined in to stir up the matter.
Double standards plus abuse of power and floundering of the laws, what's the relevant authorities going to do on these future leaders who are definitely don't like non-Bumi Malaysian? Can these non-Bumi Malaysian seeking some sorts of justice by referring it to the United Nation? If American or the Wests are so concerned about human rights in China especially on the Tibetan; how come they turn a blind eye on these non-bumi groups in Malaysia? Again, is it also that they are double standard?
