Hindraf should have been allowed to proceed to protest as the concerns on derogatory terms on indians & chinese in Interlok book are genuine.

On the whole both Polis & Hindraf have acted with measured restrain and with peace .As a Chinese I feel Interlok should NOT be introduced in schools as it just create so much bad & ill feelings amongs the races.

The Indians have helped built Malaysia yet most sidelined and deserve help/opportunities to uplift their economic plight.

The Government should not recommend interlok as text in schools as there are reference demeaning the ethnic minority races -indians & chinese .

We should not return to the dark days of racism of Mahathir but now focus on uniting the good people of various races who all live in harmony and focus on improving the economy for good of all.

Why continue this madness of trying to stir up the feelings and sensitivities of various races ? It damage relationship and country's image.
