Break away from race agenda born ‘out of Sheraton wedlock’

[superadmin]

Some events in the last week have indeed been depressing for me, and to a certain extent for the Malaysian Indian community. It made some of us wonder what could actually drive a few into doing obviously wrong things at a time when the nation is under “full lockdown”.

The sight of people dancing and drumming and taking to the streets in a boisterous manner in a funeral procession was not only shocking but disgusting too. This is definitely not the culture that many of us here were taught or which we would practise even during normal times.

The group could not have done it out of ignorance, it must have been a show of defiance or a protest of sorts as they displayed symbols of an outlawed secret society. To most of us, it was an act of stupidity and one that was totally unnecessary. The 13 have since been charged for SOP violations and involvement in triads.

Then came the case of a teenager, again from the same community, who was filmed feeding alcohol to a five-month-old child, followed by the case of a group allegedly from another outlawed secret society, the Gang 35, celebrating Father’s Day with the cake in the shape of the number, also in violation of Covid-19 rules.
