don't let the powers that be tear this country apart. fight back with your will, belief in equality and conviction of character. nobody can force you to be racist. fight the power. hidup hidup

[benjaminzer]

Well in everywhere we go, you'll find these political, racial, or religious issues. This shows how insignificant men are. From indulgences to big authority, they can't handle it properly at all......

[BayerMcquenzie]

Before BN time we are already 1Malaysia and everyone live peacefully. We never have racial problem until BN use religion and racial issue to gain support. BN always use racial issue to gain power. They want to be in power desperately and they will lie and create a lot of story to mislead the Rakyat! They are using "divide and rule" tactic. They divide and then they rule group by group. If all race unite then BN will have no chance of winning! We must unite as one to fight this corrupted BN !!!

May 13 was painful for me. But the way Malaysia resolving the issue is just totally wrong..May 13 did not disappear it just masked. A strongn nation will remind the citizens that May 13 must not happen again but Malaysia will remind the citizens that it may happen again.

I don't really care about races now, but take a note to the "government", I do not believe that our economic policy is working well. I still see poor Malays and Chinese and Indians living a hard life, while the already rich and "well connected" individuals gets richer. Nobody is born to be a laborer or a slave to others and yet daily, some will be having RM2 meals and some will be dining in fine restaurants. I suppose this is a difficult question all over the world, the equality of humanity.

[excal90]

I believe that Malaysia is still pretty much divided due to our upbringing. No matter how hard the political parties try to paint a beautiful picture of Malaysia's "unity". To be completely united would be the day that we see each other as equals but the fact is that Malays prefer Malays, Chinese prefer Chinese etc. As a Chinese I have been brought up being told that I need to work harder to get scholarship but even that, nothing is guaranteed like in my case. Quite disappointed but life goes on

[adamsan87]

@excal90 that should be because we are bumi..,the origins should have advantages like the other countries.no issue there

[excal90]

@adamsan87 perhaps, and depends on how origin is defined? I am born here, my parents were born here, my grandparents were born here..

[adamsan87]

@excal90 life's a bitch ya know

[malayneum]

bodoh la korang komen panjang2 kat sini buat apa? 13 mei ni bukannya isu perkauman, tapi sebenarnya isu politik. masa tu parti2 kiri cenderung dengan pengaruh2 radikal.parti komunis yang paling kuat memprovokasi. tapi sekarang lepas soviet runtuh tahun 89 mana ada komunis lagi?

[excal90]

@malayneum There is still China, Korea, Vietnam, Cuba and Laos being communist. The theory that Karl Marx proposed is an important one which tries to solve inequality in its own way, but is sadly misused to impose total rule on places like North Korea.

[malayneum]

@excal90 negara2 tu bukan komunis lagi. mereka cuma diperintah oleh parti komunis. tapi ekonomi negara sudah kapitalis.

[yaayuen]

because of the 1969 racist clash happen that makes each of the race has its own border line by not interacting with each and others.

and because of this matter, make US, Malaysian can't unite together just to achieve the same goal!!

Whenever my parents tell stories about a time when Malaysia wasn't saturated with the racism that we experience today, I find it hard to imagine. In fact, more often than not, I wonder if these are just distorted memories. Racial harmony? Coexisting races? Those are such foreign concepts. Oh, M'kini, the volume of the background music needs to be balanced out; it gets too loud sometimes and drowns out the voices.

sebelum 1969 xde ketuanan malayu sbb tu semua rakyat malaysia hidup dgn aman.lepas 1969 bermulalah ketuanan melayu hinggalah hari ni...hari ni kita semua x benarkan pakai baju hitam, buju merah yg paling teruk hari 709 baju kuning kasut kuning kereta kuning ..condom kuning pun x mungkin x benarkan pakai.. welcome to bolehland.

[wongcampong]

@aftereffects00 ini le jenis komen yang suka cari pasal. macam mana nak aman. Masa itu sudah tentu banyak melayu yang bosan dengan umno kerana tidak memperjuangkan nasib orang melayu. Mereka undi DAP in protest.. Tetapi bila DAP menang, DAP nak sapu melayu balek kampong atau kedalam hutan. Jadi bergadoh le, macam filem cowboy. Cowboy lawan Red Indian le konon nya.

A very insightful interview. Thanks for the upload!
