I'm kidding. Now we don't have racial violence in our country.
Everyone's
living as one. The sun is shining. The people are frolicking around and
skipping out for their lunches at some bistro or fast food joint.
Mixing and mingling without a worry or care.
DAP and UMNO didn't hold victory marches in Selangor, so everything's fine.
No
more "Melayu balik kampung" being screamed in the streets, no more
"Cina balik China" being yelled as well. Except in Parliament by Noh
Omar last year.
When someone asks me what I know about May 13th,
I tell them what I've come to understand from the many, many political
books I've read. There's a mention in most of them, one being the
memoirs of Tun Dr. Ismail.
If anything, 13th May 1969 in
Malaysia is a bitter reminder that racism and race based political
movements can and will lead to violence, especially if the economic gap
between these races goes unattended.
Let's pray it does not happen once more. But then again, we now have HINDRAF bringing up the same agendas...
