Malaysia's Political Tsunami

Unable to sleep in the wee hours in the morning, I decided to do something which i always wanted to do. I started to flip to Malaysiakini, and started the read post by post in detail.

I came upon Lim Kit Siangs Blog, about him writing a letter to our Malaysian PM & Cabinet which was a very good read. First thing on the list was the remarks of that infamous Ahmad Ismail. He called us Chinese migrants, and untrustworthy Malaysians. In my point of view, as a chinese, it does hurt! But never in my 24 years of life had i ever imagined that I was a migrant in this country. For him to mention that statement and still unwanting to appologize really scares me. Do the Malay people actually think the same way as Ahmad Ismail do? Or was he hurt by chinese in the past which triggered him to say that?

LKS, also mentioned about the way UMNO will be dealing with his case. Last year, many of us did flip to youtube to watch the video of Wee Meng Chee rapping "Negarakuku". I did watch it, and to be honest, i really did enjoy that song as it was very catchy and did portray the current situation in Malaysia. The Malaysian government did not like it at all and made it such a big issue whereby his citizenship was taken away from him (even though he appologized). I'm quite eager to find out what will happen to this Ahmad Ismail. I pity our PM Abdullah as he is right now stuck in the middle. Every decision he makes will be a crucial move to his political career.

Racism... Will this always be an issue in Malaysia? Whereby the chinese and indians become 2nd class citizens and see all our top talents migrating to other coutries? Or will we one day, beat Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Korea towards a Nation which strives to succeed. I do hope we achieve that some day.

To be honest, sometimes at work I really get disappointed by the malay clients I meet. Most of them ask me for some money if they were to give me the contract. But of course as a Christian I will never give. Its confusing sometimes, you love them, but you don't love them. You hate them, but yet, you also don't hate them. I may be racist at times, and this genuine love seems to be just an act. I'm in no position to judge anyone, as me myself is racist. But God is the eternal judge, and he does judge fairly ;)
