When Barack ( is it pronounced 'barak' or 'berek'..ha ha ha) Obama won the US Presidency everyone was talking about how anyone or everyone can be a President regardless the colour of skin. Malaysians..being who we are jump on the wagon praising the US democracy and the maturity of the US voters..especially the politicians.
Less these politicians and other Malaysians forgets, the blacks in US has been fighting for their rights 200 years ago and it is their 44th President! We, in Malaysia have only just celebrated our 51st Independence and only just..i mean just having 4 Prime Minister. The 5th is just coming soon. We will have another 40 more or so Prime Minister before we really can discard the race and religion boundaries..my fellow Malaysians.
Not that I totally disagree with the concept of Bangsa Malaysia but the journey to put anyone or someone to be the Prime Minister in Malaysia will be a long, hard and turmoil one. Just one good example: Why should we have a Tamil School, a Chinese School ? Why can't we just have a school that caters for all without the identification of races and ethnics ? After all, we are going to inculcate the Bangsa Malaysia concept. Right?
Another good example : Why should we have parties of MCA, MIC, UMNO, PBB, SUPP, PRS, UPKO, etc-etc that reflects the ethnicity and races ? Can we be throw that style of politics ? If we can only then the Bangsa Malaysia concepts and anyone can be the next Prime Minister. If not..just stop talking nonsense.

they still describe obama as african american ?! :)
Bangsa Malaysia? Satu parti? Satu bahasa? Satu aliran sekolah? I think its too idealistic, pok. Selagi kita bernama manusia, selagi itulah tiada formula terbaik dan khusus menyatu padukan rakyat. Meski pun kita padamkan asal usul seseorang, bahasa mereka ia tetap tidak menjamin yg kita tidak akan bersikap perkauman.
Tuhan dah berpesan, Dia sengaja membuat kita berbeza agar kita saling mengenali dan bersatu padu. Tapi masalahnya kita lebih suka melihat dan membesarkan perbezaan sesama kita hingga ia menjadi jurang dan halangan, dan tidak sebagai satu keistimewaan.
setiap kaum ada kelebihan dan kekurangan. maka setaip kaum harus menjadi pelengkap kepada satu kaum yang lain.
macam suami isteri jugak, setiap malam sekatil pun...orang Indon kata dah lama 'cocok' pun masih gaduh, patah lagi yang memang enggak pernah cocok.
maklumlah orang ada indonesian maid :)
