There are three major races in Malaysia - Malay, Chinese and Indian. The Malays have the political power and so they set up the party UMNO, which literally means "U Must Not Object". The Chinese, on the other hand, controls the economy and they call their party MCA which means "Money Conquers All". Then there are the Indians who have no say in politics or economics. They set up their party called MIC. Hence, every parliamentary meeting the Indians would ask: "Must I Come?"
