-Of race and religion-

Today, I am so much in the mood to write about racist people. Mind you, I am not racist and never will be. I go beyond skin colour and the way you look. I only care for what is in your heart.
Malaysia has now a new goal to achieve under her wings. She wants to have a united country under the policy of 1 Malaysia and if you ask me, I think it's about time someone shook some senses into her. Don't get me wrong. I do support the notion of 1 Malaysia concept. However, its about time someone told everyone around them that Malaysia is a free country for all. I am not pointing fingers here. But, you have to understand that we have been here long enough to be a part of Malaysia. It is unfair to read statements online that really do jeopardise the love I have for the citizens of Malaysia. And, quite frankly, it hurts. I mean, wth man. What is so wrong in just respecting one another's differences?

And just as a reminder, I respect all religions out there and in fact, i do learn new things from other religions. I fast during the fasting month which thought me that patience is power. I have been to a Buddhist temple and there is no words to describe the calmness and peacefulness I felt when I was there and I make a cross whenever I pass by a church. Does that make me less of a Hindu? No. I pray every day, and I visit my temple every Saturday. I pay respect to all religions and their way of teaching because I believe in God. No question there.

So, why this post u ask. Ask any of my first-lecture-on-Tuesday classmates and you will know why. I am sick and tired of people putting down other religions. It gets on my nerves. I know I am way younger than you are. But, I am proud to say that at least I truly value other religions.

PS: At the end of the day, aren't we all God's children?

  2. agree with you darl.. this is not what we want in 1 Malaysia concept. I know the story because i was there and it was about my religion. It hurt me most when she kept saying 'Kristian' for several times. wtf!!
