Bridge of Hope

We have to accept, whatever race we are, that we are living in a multiracial nation. Therefore, we are exposed to a lot of culture. First we have the religious ones that nobody can meddle into, and then there are racial culture, which everyone can enjoy and of course, the foods. These are the things that made us unique. Most of the countries around us can just dream to have a place like Malaysia.

 

In the US, the racial barrier was said to be broken, really broken with the rise of Barrack Obama. He is said to bring a change in the political phenomena where the Americans see beyond skin, beyond race and go for the credibility of the candidate. Actually, look at us Malaysians. We are much better than the Americans in that sense. Why? 

1. Tunku Abdul Rahman has a Siamese blood.
2. Tun Hussein Onn was a descendant of an Arabic family.
3. Tun Dr Mahathir was of half-Indian origin.

There you go. But what happen now? There are fights even between races to gain power. Where are our spirit of unity? If we care about the Rakyat, step aside from the differences and work together to build the nation. Do not try to bring down the other one so that we can get up. 

This applies to every aspect of our lives. To go up the ladder of success is not by killing everyone but by helping each other. We are a great country. We can do better if we do it hand in hand.
