The Malay is part of the Malaysian problem, but he is also part of the solution. Why should we believe what the racist politicians tell us? Why should Malaysians fear their fellow Malaysians?
The fear is just a construct of the politicians who wish to divide and conquer. In the real world, the three main races – Malay, Chinese and Indian – can, and do, live in peaceful harmony. In typical Malaysian style, however, we must complicate matters, and hence we build walls, and drive a wedge between East and West Malaysians as well.
What the racist politicians neglect to tell you is that Malaysians share a rich history based on respect, dignity and mutual understanding. The history taught in our schools has been distorted and cherry-picked. In other words, politicised.
