Race based politics should die...

The political scene in Malaysia is similar to a decomposing corpse. Rot is seen everywhere in the once championed race based politics. There are 3 major races in Malaysia. Thus, there are also 3 main stream political parties representing each race for its own selfish interest. UMNO represents the Malays, MCA represents the Chinese and MIC represents the Indians. There are also other political parties in Malaysia that have a different approach even though some show slight inclinations to race based politics but never to the extent of BN's (national coalition of UMNO, MCA and MIC).

Read HERE and HERE to know a bit more about the recent spats between races.

Firstly, there was the HINDRAF issue, and now the "chinese are squaters" issue.
Maybe China should give the government and those who are racist a very stern warning not to bully it's cousins. We are Chinese, but we are Malaysians first and foremost. For goodness sake, we are Malaysian Chinese. We fought beside you against the Japanese and walked with you to garner independence from the British. Which part says we are not citizens? Like the Chinese and Indians, the Malays are not the first people of this land called Malaysia. The Orang Asli (indigenous) are the rightful owners.

If we continue to fight over this petty things, our economy will not recover, our political stability will be gone, our unity will be lost and Malaysia will never be prosperous again.

Kick Racism out of this Land...

Absolutely agree with you. Talk about learning from the past. I cannot believe there are still so much immaturity in this issue.
