Average Chinese in SEA dislike the rich elite Chinese for obvious reason. But in Malaysia's case, they did built the Chinese schools across the country.
Capitalism from the early Dutch (Indonesia) and Brit (Malaysia) era made the Chinese rich. The Chinese literally started the modern economy in SEA. The Chinese worked harder, smarter, were more risk taking for the colonists. Without the colonists and Chinese, these countries are nothing but backwater. Brownie/Austronesian peoples can be so ungrateful.
The Chinese have higher IQ
Bulshit...
Through Dutch occupation, Muslim Entrepreneurs joint together in a political action against Dutch occupation (SDI=Serikat Dagang Islam), because of that Dutch contained Muslim economic power by prioritizing Chinese ethnic entrepreneur in Indonesia. Chinese ethnic than accumulate capital at those time, when we, Muslim, fought Dutch with our money and blood.
During Soeharto time, he helped Chinese ethnic Conglomerate through our Central Bank cheap Credit that we call as KLBI (Kredit Likuiditas Bank Indonesia). It is like the way South Korea grow their Chaebol economic power. Soeharto did it because he is afraid that if Muslim economic power become stronger, then this power will fight against Soeharto politically. It is like trickle down effect policy which is used in our economic grand strategy by using politically powerless ethnic as a vehicle. Soeharto borrowed Dutch policy to contain Islam power. As Today we have witnessed that majority of our politicians are entrepreneurs including all of our presidential candidate in current election.
It is similar like Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and Justice and Development party (AKP) in Turkey are funded by Islamist Entrepreneur. Dutch and Soeharto understand this logic. In short, giving more economic power to Muslim entrepreneur can create political backlash to those past regime.
Talking about entrepreneurship, some native ethnic are also well known and those ethnic has also spreaded across SEA and even become important persons politically like the first Singaporean head of state (Yusof bin Ishak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) and also the first Malaysian head of state (both are Minang Kabau descent), and current Malaysia PM which is Bugis descent
