Three recent incidents gave me hope that racial and religious differences being played up by politicians may not reflect the actual situation on the ground.
The first was in Taiping last week when a man used a hammer to break up an idol in a Hindu temple in broad daylight.
Many people failed to notice in the viral video clip that three other Malay men actually stopped the man from continuing with his act of madness and were seen pushing him away towards his motorcycle, asking him to leave.
Their heartwarming action was a reminder that there are wise Malaysians around who will prevent such situations from turning ugly.
They were not swayed by emotion, which could have resulted in an unpleasant outcome.
For the record, the suspect was arrested shortly after that, kudos to the police for the prompt action.
