		<description>Dont try to create a new race, it is dangerous

A bat is a bat, it is not a bird
But bats has their communities, both varied and unique
Birds of a particular type also has communities, both varied and unique
A turtle is a turtle, it is not a fish
A tortoise is a tortoise, it does not swim in oceans 

A human being is a human being, also has their share of having varied and unique communities

Who the hell are you to say do this and that.

If you say we should have a communally , start by respecting other people's culture, customs, value system, traditions and langauge and stop reinventing the wheel.

Dont make life difficult for others, it work both ways, it the very basic of doing good.

Water finds it own level, there is no short cut, 200 year old nations still have the same type of problems in bodohland. Who the hell gave you right to be race scientist.
Fraternity, Liberty,Equality 
Just change</description>

		<description>Disgusted reading Star @ 24th Mar, pertaining a bunch of self-interest group submitting memorandum to our intelligent Sultan of Perak in the pretext of fighting for Malay rights. What they did was basically with ill intent to stir up the racial harmony and with sinful mind in the head. SHAME on them for calling themselves educated professional to join this blinded and extreme movement as this simply because of non-forward thinking at all. I know one of the members of this “SESAT &#38; BUTA” group where one's has a fantastic and high life style so to speak.  

The election is over since 25 days ago. It is about time to move on and to rebuild the country and let's don't create something out of nothing but constantly lingering on racial sentiment. To me, irregardless of who the MB or what the composition formula or who the EXCO line-up are, the most important matter after all is  DELIVERY &#38; RESULT with fairest and equitable manner instead of self-enriching little Napoleon.  

I have been traveling to many countries and we are in fact losing ground to many emerging countries since we still have this confusion of Malaysian Identity after 50 years of independence and constant living in the state of denial. Our forefathers may have liberated Malaya from British but I don't see we are liberated as true Malaysians. 

As a human with dignity and with self-respect, ask your conscience and inner-self, for how many years, we, Malaysians have suffered and have been struggling with this identity crisis??? For how many years more this division has to go on???  Don’t we wanted to be treated as a respectable nation in the eyes of the world (ie. Japanese nation) or simply wanted to be perceived as nations who are so intolerable to each other and self-stabbing for championing the so called super rights or Champion of under the Coconut Shell..???

Irregardless of our skin color, a Malaysian is a Malaysian. If we have had to fight to defend this country, we all shall die as ghosts of Malaysia. 

It is time to overhaul what is not right and bring good to the Rakyat at large. For God and Malaysians' sake, let's don’t tear each other down again and again..!!! 

Think of this…

		<description>Racism in Malaysia, I believe, should not happen at all, yet Racism is a continuing issue raised from a group of narrow minded minority with an ulterior motive and secret agenda. Those leaders that band into a political group “defending the Malays” are not only right-wing minded but extremist and fundamentalist to the core. It frustrates me to see them manipulating the mass for their own benefits. Who stand to lose the most from NEP/NDP but the one who make the most gain in the first place huh? If these leaders chant about their rights and their lands, then perhaps they should take note that the earliest settlement in Malaysia is of Indian origin with Hinduism. (i.e. the evidence excavated from the ruins from Kota Tinggi but this discovery has to be covered up due to national security) The Malay immigrated to the South East Asia just like the Chinese and Indian. Additionally, this source of the immigration of Malay was actually originating from East Asia. The original “Malay”, homo floresiensis, was possibly exterminated by this wave of migration (Nature &#38; National Geographic, 2004). So, from these historical facts, any bright lads may even conclude that the Orang Asli has been marginalized and it is them, not Malay, that has to be given more rights and lands. Yet, 80% of them remain in the poorest of the poor, and the supposed governmental aide disappear...</description>

		<description>The whole idea, sorry, is flawed. I am neither qualified nor inclined to offer a full scientific piece of explanation here, there are plenty of resources available everywhere.
Still, I feel like adding some arguments:

1. Even the concept of 'race' is impermanent. Humans have been walking this planet for a historically short time only, and it is proven fact, that what we perceive as 'races' today have not been there from the very first day. Our concept of 'race' is therefore erroneous in its assumption of being a static parameter. On the contrary, the development of the races on this planet has been, and still is, a dynamic one.

2. Anthropologists usually accept the existence of a Malay Race ('Malayan'), as one of generic races of mankind, like Mongolian, Caucasian, Dravidian, American, etc.
In this respect, however, Malayans live habitually in the area somewhere between the South Pacific and Madagascar, with the Malayan Archipelago as centre. (If one wanted to be precise, the people of Suriname, of Javanese origin, living in an independent country in South America, would have to be included.)
Any notion of the Peninsula or Borneo as home to the Malayan race is unaccounted for; neither are the people between Singapore and Thailand distinguishable as distinct race. Except, if one so desires, for political reasons.
Anthropologically speaking, there are close to 500 million Malayans alive today. If not for political reasons, there is no need to fear any eradication of the Malayans!

3. Chances are, that a new ethnic group develops in the area of Malaysia, due to the influences and confluences of the last 800 years in the area of the peninsula, with contributors like the Arab traders, Indian businessmen, Bugis, Javanese, Acehnese, Javanese and Sundanese, last not least colonialists from Holland, Portugal and England. With some courage, one might generate the hypotheses, that there is a higher chance for a new ethic group 'Malaysian' to result from these influences, than for a 'pure Malay race' to evolve.

4. Looking left and right, actually, and for some minutes working hard to overcome my sick feeling on guessing  ethnic backgrounds, the larger part of people, at least around me, who are perceived to be 'Malay', have rather recent ancestry in places anywhere between Melanesian Islands and Lebanon. To call them 'Malay' simply for their nationality, ID and religion can only be politically motivated. Thinking about it, neither has anything to do with race.</description>

		<description>UMNO's bunch of hypocrites.Protesting Lim Kit Siangs initial boycotting of the Perak MB swear in.Now they're doing the same in Terengganu.Who's disrespecting the sultan(basicly The Yang Di Pertuan Agong in this case) now huh?

Although I object Sultan's interfering in the MB and Exco line up and should remain as a symbol only,this goes to show that UMNO are not really respecting the Sultan but rather using him as they sees fit.

		<description>People in Taiwan were full of hope, hopping that Chen will transform Taiwan. Instead he did not accomplish much in the first 4-year term. The people gave him another 4-year term to demonstrate, but he still could not deliver. Added to that, his people became similar to KMT people, especially his family (son-in-law) involved in corruption. The people, with the votes in their hands, decided to throw out his party. Now it is gone for the next four years. Shall it return? No body knows.

I am writing about this hopping that DAP and PKR will be different and will not end up with the same fate as Chen, being punished severely by the people.</description>
