I had never encountered any racism threats or anything other than a little name call, quote Gila Babi unquote, from a Malay girl I accidentally bumped into at a Ramadhan food fair last year. I never believed talks about people, mostly Malays I must say, hated the other race because we were, quote from foreign country unquote, when we were ACTUALLY born and bred in our home country, Malaysia.
All this racial issues, I just laugh them off, thinking maybe the news writers have a lot of time in their hands and wrote a few BS to create havoc in our, I definitely can say, quite peaceful country. I have plenty of friends of other races, we get along well, well enough to turn a blind eye to racism issue in my own homeland that had been, and still is getting worse by the second.
Malaysia, Happy 53th Birthday to you.
But my dear old Malaysian mates living in this same country with me with other Malaysians, whether you are a Malay, Chinese, Indian or a mix or even an immigrant now a citizen, sometimes it doesn't mean "the older you are the wiser you will be". You see, after about 50 years, the racist issue had REALLY just took off a few years back. I'm just asking IF...... if it is such a big issue, why wasn't this solved a long time ago, like some 50 years ago. Because when people gets older, our greed gets bigger, we want more, we want to prove something to the world, we get a little more selfish, this is how human works, we can't help it.
Yes, we can't help it, but God/Allah/Buddha/Devi/and the God or Gods of your own religion, THEY gave US a brain, but, here's the catch, WE need to make IT function. It's a natural thing, when it's hot, the brain tells you not to touch it, the brain tells you "DANGER". So I'm just asking EVERY SINGLE one of you Malaysians, look at the world now, is racism doing anyone good? All we need is take a minute or two to think about how this racism affects one and another.
We need to change this mindset of ours, because we, we are all Malaysian. We are not Malay, we are not Chinese, we are not Indian. We are Malaysians. Living in our birthland, Malaysia. That, my fellow Malaysians, couldn't be changed. At the end of the day, we are all still Malaysian, striving for the same thing, a better life. =)
If only everyone of us, Malaysians, use their brain to think the right thing, this 1Malaysia thing doesn't even need an effort. =)
So now after all the seriousness, anyone care to grab Nasi Lemak, Chau Keu Tiaw and Chapatti for dinner?
