Why say he is not Malay? Just because he is more fluent in Mandarin? I think his thinking is very much Malay, the generosity, openess, not being caught up with superficiality, celebrating the good and ignore the bad.. What is not Malay about that?

I often listen to fm988 talk show hosted by Jiama and his DJ mates. Their talk show is really interesting as there are opposing views to many of the issues discussed. The talk show really helps to open up the mind of fellow Malaysians that it is ok to be different from others. Sad to say the authorities are so narrow minded not to be able to accept that.
