Ungratefulness

The (racist) comment by Datuk Ahmad Ismail towards the non-Malays has created anger among the non-Malays. The worse part is, he doesn't want to apologize.

To me personally, i wasn't very much affected by it. These comments have been said over and over again by different groups of Malays.

Perhaps what they should do is to go back and look at history. It doesn't matter who step foot in this land first. But the effort poured out to protect this land is what that matters. By right this country belongs to the Orang Asli, who are now living in the forest. Malays are originally from Indonesia. So there shouldn't be matter of who came to Malaysia first.

Before our Independence, different races of Malay, Chinese, Indian, worked together to fight for independence for this country. Tunku Abdul Rahman, Tun Tan Cheng Lock, and Tun Sambathan, just to name a few.

Different races have worked hard, and have died to fight for independence. I don't think the Malays alone could have done it without the help of everyone is this country. So why boast about your so-called "ownership" of this land?

Today we can see that our nation is developing, fast and rapid. I dare to say that a large percentage of this development comes from the effort of Chinese and Indians. Look at the companies and you would know. Look at the top 10 richest man in Malaysia and you would know. How many Malays are in the list? Generally none!

Chinese and Indians have contributed to economical growth of this nation alot! Malaysia wouldn't be Malaysia today without everyone. If the government were to take away the special right (hak keistimewaan) of Malays, i guarantee you all the Malays would fall!

So there shouldn't be any racist remarks, or even thoughts. Malays should be grateful to have a peaceful and harmony nation to live in, despite the races. We need each other to build this nation. Without us, where would you be right now?
