I forgive Annuar Musa, Zuraida Kamaruddin and Afif Bahardin their misperceptions as their statements casting aspersions on me as they were made before they read my clarification that I wanted all political parties and candidates for the six state polls on August 12 to lower the temperature on racial and religious polarisation and to stop exploiting the 3R issues prevent another May 13 riots

Was I being overdramatic when I said yesterday that “After 54 years, Malaysia is teetering on the edge of another May 13, 1969 riots”?

Was I being overdramatic when I said yesterday that “After 54 years, Malaysia is teetering on the edge of another May 13, 1969 riots”.

Malaysian Chinese should help Malaysia to become world champions again and be a role model to the world of inter-ethnic, inter-religious, inter-cultural and inter-civilisational dialogue, understanding, tolerance and harmony

The Lims in China are not very well known. The one Lim who have appeared in Chinese history is the Opium War stalwart Lin Zexu whose forceful opposition to the opium trade was a primary catalyst for the First Opium War in China from 1839–42.

But among 50 million Chinese all over the world in the Chinese Diaspora, who have made the other countries in the world outside China their home, like Thailand and Malaysia, the Lims seem to have left bigger footprints.

Is there a replacement for Vision 2020 and a Bangsa Malaysa, which had inspired and united Malaysians for over a decade, to inspire and unite Malaysians, regardless of race, religion or region, for the next three decades to world-class standards and achievements?

It is sad and tragic that Vision 2020 and Bangsa Malaysia have failed, but it is sadder and more tragic that the creator of Vision 2020 and the concept of Bangsa Malaysia has repudiated them, relapsing to very racist rhetorics which could only end up in Malaysia becoming a divided, failed, and kleptocratic state in the future.
