Is the ‘Chinese Card’ a hoax?
The “rumoured” China’s implementation of the “Chinese Card” for Malaysian-born Chinese or overseas Chinese is in circulation again in social media, Facebook.
“Rumoured” because there has been almost zero coverage of the “Chinese Card” issue by the Malaysian mainstream print and electronic media.
It is strange that nothing much has been reported officially, since the issue started circulating with an online report by The Coverage on Dec 17, 2015.
The Coverage claims to be a social news network based in Malaysia, covering all manner of viral stories and interesting content from around the web.
It also claims to be one of the fastest growing digital media in Malaysia, commanding about two million monthly unique visitors in the region.
The Dec 17, 2015, news report is titled: China To Implement “Chinese Card” For Malaysians Born Chinese (sic), and is apparently a translation of a Chinese news report (dated Dec 12, 2015) by on.cc (supposedly Hong Kong-based) http://hk.on.cc/cn/bkn/cnt/news/20151212/bkncn-20151212181836679-1212_05011_001_cn.html
Below is a full reproduction of The Coverage news report:
China to implement ‘Chinese Card’ for overseas born Chinese including those from South East Asia.
South East Asia has the world largest overseas born Chinese. This is going to draw millions Chinese in South East Asia especially those from Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, India, Mauritius, Vietnam migrate back to China.
150 to 80 years ago, 1.5 million Hakka Chinese left Songkou River Town going to Shantou en-route to South East Asia.
Plan now is to build an Overseas Chinese Township between Meizhou City and Songkou. Meizhou City is same population to Georgetown but the district of Meizhou is 4 times larger than Singapore, so plenty of space to develop.
It is expected to attract million overseas Chinese migrate to this Overseas Chinese Town.
Private schools and a Malaysia/Singapore/Indonesia Food Street are part of the project in historical Songkou River Town. This Food Street is similar to the one on Sentosa Island of Singapore developed by Genting Berhad.
It is expected that Malaysian Chinese Developers will flock to that area to develop that designated area later. Short winter, low crime rate, low murder rate, low road accident, zero discrimination, least air pollution are attracting overseas born Chinese especially those from South East Asia.

Isn’t the “Chinese Card” an interesting and newsworthy issue?
Why then is there no official news from the mainstream media in Malaysia about it or not talked about by Chinese politicians from both sides of the political divide in Malaysia?
Shouldn’t it interest Malaysian investors? Isn't it an opportunity for Malaysian Chinese investors? Wouldn’t their profits benefit Malaysia, no?
Or, is the “Chinese Card” a hoax?
