As it is, schools “can’t” invite our Wakil Rakyat to school coz “priority” to be given to Minister of Education, his officers, State Education Director, his oficers etc….

3 thoughts that crossed my mind today.

We ought to differentiate slightly the role of Obama in the US and DAP leaders in Malaysia. In the US, the GOP (the Republicans) does not have an official policy that discriminate the non-White. Perhaps we should compare Obama’s struggle now with that of Martin Luther King or Mandela during apartheid South Africa. If DAP is labelled “racist” in any way, that label is legitimate under the circumstance.

Decades of bad leadership and role models are destroying a multi racial and religious country eg. dangerous behaviours like aggression, threat, bullying and intimidation were constantly used by some politicians to achieve narrow, short sighted, personal and damaging objectives.

I couldn’t agreed with you more. Thanks mate.

But I think ‘new’ Malaysians have already emerged among us. It’s you and me, mate. ;)

A ‘new’ Malaysian must emerge from among our leaders to lead us in a new direction. For the rest of us it begins with the knowledge and awareness of our own shortcomings, our own flaws – and a mindset that decades of indoctrination have nurtured and given rise to. That would be the first step towards the creation of a new Malaysian and a new Malaysia.

There is hope yet says leaders like Obama. Hope never dies.

Get to the point…The school is giving birth to rasism and we’ve got to voice it out to stop it as least to let all malaysian know about it.

I would urge all parents to ask their children to boycott all school extra activities.

Think Dap should take some kind of lead here…

1st One party UMNO led government is a BIGOT
2nd Now “WE” (I dont need to spell it out) are facing RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION !!!

“To say that ALL Malaysians are racists are a sweeping statement. Who are the REAL RACISTS today? ”

We are all more racists than we’re willing to admit. This racist mindset if you will, protected and nurtured by our laws and our values should not be surprising. It is a matter of degree. The values have been internalized in our thought processes such that we do not need to be conscious of them ourselves.["WE", DOES THAT INCLUDE ME AND YOU?]

The use of racial profiling in everyday conversations is a good manifestation of what I mean.[IS THIS A RACIST BLOG AS WELL?]

But I would say there are two types of ‘racism’ and ‘racist’ behavior that Malaysians exhibit. One is passive and the other active, if you will. One is grounded more in culture and expediency necessitated by the degree and intensity of our interactions in everyday life existing mainly in our subconsciousness, the other grounded in the conscious desire to be different and to compete. I am no sociologist and so we’ll just leave it at that.[PLEASE ANSWER THIS QUESTION HONESTLY AND TRUTHFULLY, ARE YOU ARE RACIST? AND WHICH OF THE 2 TYPES ARE YOU?]

It is into this mindset that racist bigots and politicians tap into each time they make their populist appeal.[DOES THAT INCLUDE UNCLE LIM, GUAN ENG, KARPAL, KULA AND OTHER DAP LEADERS AND SUPPORTERS TOO?]

The earlier we recognize and accept it, the easier the job will be in the process to dismantle the racial barriers that have been built around us.[HOW TO DISMANTLED THE RACIAL BARRIERS THAT HAVE BEEN BUILD AROUND US WHEN ALL MALAYSIANS ARE RACISTS? AND WHO IS GOING TO DO THE DISMANTLING FOR ALL THE MALAYSIANS RACISTS?]

I may dream of an ‘era’ that has gone by, but I am not a dreamer.[DREAM ON?]

Facts :
1. Doa recital is still there.
2. Some non-Muslims are forced also to take hands up when the Muslims recite the doa.
3. Female NS trainees have to wear long sleeves. in hot sweltering weather. (all this due to Islam – aurat & they want to standardise).
4. Friday is observed as religious day for all religions (konon) – why not Sunday??? How about church attendees on Sunday??? How about Chinese observing 1st & 15th of the lunar calender.
5. Trainees are still mostly Malays & overzealous.
6. Strict Islamic principles rule all NS training program.
7. Charity work (3rd mth) is mostly for Malay/Muslim organisations.

After the NS program, the trainees are even more polarised!!!

Moral = If you force people of a race/religion to follow the principles of another, although the principles are good, the former will be afraid & avoid the latter, resulting in segregation.

I’m not against the NS – but the Govt should regulate NS by giving power to all component parties MCA, MIC, UMNO, Gerakan, SUPP, PBS to work out a joint committee to organise the joint committee with balanced trainers from all races.

That is the spirit of true NS.

Agreed. But I’m not from the same era as Mahathir and Daim!

Out of the frying pan, and into the fire. One great leap for mankind.

That`s nice. But then it`s a 3 month OBS programme of sorts.
My example of someone studying matriculation at a boarding school in m`cca is totally opposite.
I suppose when it has a longer period the colors really surface.
