Not all Malays are to be blamed. Learn to stop accusing all of them.

"Perempuan Cina pelacur semua!" (All female Chinese are prostitutes)

"Pengkhianat negara, China DAN Malaysia" (Traitors! To both China and Malaysia)

"Cina komunis bangsat!" (Damn you Chinese communists!)

"Chauvinist!"

etc

How do you feel? Disturbed? False accusation? Petrified? Anger?

These are the common insults that we Chinese in Malaysia are given. Similarly, from the Chinese,

"Balik kampung la babi" (Go back to the village pigs!)

"Malas! Bodoh! Tak guna! Tak boleh harap!" (Lazy! Stupid! Useless! Unreliable!)

etc

Linking the 2 insults together, you'll see that none of these are applicable to you (for the MAJORITY of you, actually). Heck, most of these people that threw insults at the Chinese do not even know the meaning of chauvinist. They just use it because everybody is using it, and they just follow suit. Similarly, does the Malay bear any resemblance to pigs?

Most of the Chinese will say yes, because Malays are all lazy, dirty and useless.

But here's what you Chinese do not know. They are NOT ALL lazy, dirty and useless. Only some. Similarly, NOT ALL Chinese are prostitutes, traitors, communists and/or chauvinist!

The insults that put race as the SOLE contributing factor are purely unjustified. There are Malays that are capable in standing on their feet. Look at Anwar Ibrahim, he's a Malay. I do not know about the evil deeds that he has committed in the past, but having been sacked as the deputy PM, sent to jail, and rose back up to political power AND managed to strengthen the bonds between DAP and PAS (2 extremists that virtually cannot co-exist) is clearly not something the average man on the street could do.

How many of you ever have any friends of a different race, that can share, joke and laugh with you? There must at least be one in your life. If s/he can do these things with you, will you ever insult them for being their-own-negatively-portrayed-kind?

What I am trying to say here, is that not everyone is at fault for something that their race has portrayed negatively and strongly towards the public. We have to stop cursing each other, because these are just not who we are!

In fact, the Malays are already beginning to accept Chinese into their community. Compare today and 10 (or 20) years ago, although the racial tension was low, it was mainly because we merely tolerated, and we NEVER accepted. Today, racial tension is high, but you'll be surprise, we are getting more and more ACCEPTED. There are generally more cooperation between difference races in Malaysia today than last time. The racial tension is high only because the media, controlled by the government shares false news and accusations. Only pro-UMNO (or Umnoputras) will buy that and start causing more havoc around our neighbourhood!

For example, the dragging of the cow in front of the Hindu Temple in KL. That's not the Malays' fault! it's those Umnoputras fault!

Another example, the burning of churches. Hey, please-la...it's really obvious who's behind these ok.

To conclude, STOP accusing Malays! If you do, you are no different from Umnoputras because you, too are increasing racial tension. Again, not all Malay behaves that negatively! And no one likes to be insulted for who they are not. I know it's tough to suddenly just change your hatred. I admit that I too behave that way as well even today to a certain extent. But I am trying my best, and I hope we all can too, try out best, to stop segregating our brothers and sisters in Malaysia for being different.

  1. Trash media like Utusan should be destroyed. I can't believe their readers don't think for themselves the possibility of a news source being manipulated.
