YouTube - Ethnic Indians protest in Malaysia
I'm glad that the Malaysian Indians finally had the guts to come out and protest out loud. The ruling asswipes ignored their silent cries for so long.
This political discontent will quickly loose steam and credibility if the govt starts painting them as religious zealots which they already have.
This blog by an ethnic Indian says it all,
Quote:
For all my life, I have referred to myself as Malaysian. When asked for the “race” field, I usually just leave it blank. On 29 September 2007, I registered to be a voter, and for the first time, I was really required to either place “Cina atau India” in the field (Chinese or Indian). This was a request by the worker at POS Malaysia, because apparently, my identity card (IC) lacks such information. I looked stumped for a while, and said, “Indian”.
Today, on Sunday, 25 November 2007, I can proudly say, that I will no longer be referring to myself as Malaysian - I will be now referring to myself as a Malaysian Indian. The idea of Bangsa Malaysia is a farce, and I’m tempted to rip out the Visit Malaysia 2007 sticker from my laptop, which suggests that we’re “Celebrating 50 years of nationhood”. Malaysia, might be Truly Asia, but there’s just a cauldron, brewing hate, in where the contents aren’t happy with the cooks.
