*Indian:Malaysian Indian
*Malay: Malaysian Malay
Ok...before you read on...this blog is about what has happened in Malaysia past few weeks..soo if ur a stout indian or malay...dun read...save yourselves the misery..
But for the people who rather have sense prevail..feel free to flicker along..
First off, I am Indian. I am actually very proud to be one.
Was i surprised of what happened Nov 25th?.No chance in hell.
Do I think it will change anything? I am not sure.
What surprises me the finger pointing between both parties and in the bigger picture both religions..
Yes, sadly to say- it has become a matter of Muslims vs Hindus in the cyber world and apparently in the streets as well..
Look, maybe I support the rally, maybe I dont..but Indians have to realize that the timing was absolutely wrong. This should have been done in the 1960s..this should have been done when the NEP was implemented. I saw footages of the rally on the net and I was not surprised.
The Indians, please realize this, no matter what indifference you are faced with, if you want to demonstrate, this is the tools you need.. educate yourself to a high level, work your socks off, make a name for yourself, dont be an alcoholic, dont be a thug, dont be like a gangster..only then your demonstrations will make a big difference.Till then , I am sorry to say you are running a lost course. Get your names off the front news for murders and rapes and accidents and scams..Then you can show your intent. I do wish all the indians the best and I have encouraged as many indians as I could to participate in life-enhancing academics because lets face it we are only 7%. That should not stop us, infact that should the tickets to easier access, soo please put a bigger effort in self-realization first.
Now, the Malays, look..lets face it..racial discrimination does take place in Malaysia..We all know the Bumiputeras gets the "benefits" as opposed to the chinese or the indians..of all the sensible malays i have talked to, they agree and they say that its true. Now if you dont agree, please stop reading because you are either blind or just insensitive or you want all things to come your way. The first step to realizing it to admit this "problem". Think about it, is it really that hard to be fair to all?Is it?Really?
I read comments in youtube saying stuff like its MALAY-sia..yes..it is Malaysia..but whoever wrote that blog clearly doesnt understand the referandum and constitution of our country. The only reason why MALAYA was there because of the British naming system.
Them some of them brought up about Muslims were the one who ruled this land at first..now this really bugged me and I simply replied that the first Kingdom to rule the Peninsula was in fact Parameshwara from Palembang and he was Hindu..and that technically the war with Indonesia in the 1960s was in fact a waste of time because the Malay indigenous were actually from Indonesia after that there were no replies from them anymore.
Then there were some who brought about how the Agongs are Sultans are Malays and Muslims.Again history. The Agongs and Sultans are not powerful enough to dissolve a race, they are capable of dissolving a government. The term Sultans were first recognized in India by the way!
The best part of all is how the politicians are playing this around.
First off, I dont like how the governing parties are handling it.
Secondly. the oppositions are just chewing on it as bait for the general elections.
Two things can happen:1. Full scale racial riots which will just destroy Malaysia
2. A change in political hands in the general elections.
I have been a registered voter for 2 years now and I have not voted and I will not vote for a time to come. I dont believe in politics, I believe in fairness and togetherness. I love my country, I will always love it. This is where I was born, this is with whom I spent my childhood with. Some of my closest friends are Malays. So please for the sake of all Malaysians abroad, work this out. I dont wish to see my country crumble after 50 years of economic climbing.
