Petronas Twin Towers - a significant figure in KL city

I was appalled when reading the recent articles concerning Malaysia, my country of birth, which I still have a love for. I just could not believe the way how the Chinese Malaysians are still being treated. Even though we are in the modern era ‘Post-Mahatir’, I would finally expect equality among the groups. But no…we chinese & Indians are still considered second class citizens! Malaysia is always going to be an Islamic state period. Here is a statement taken from human-rights lawyer Malik Imtiaz, “the "Islamisation" of Malaysian society and politics has gone too far, and is eroding the country's once-liberal traditions”.

Now Anwar Ibrahim is out of jail, I fear there is not going to be much hope of Malaysia becoming a more democratic country. He is a well-known Islamic politician and if he was to regain power, what hope is there for Indians and Chinese? Maybe it’s because I am in Australia and I read about these articles, I get so furious how human rights are so disgusting! And now I am Australian…and many would say these matters do not concern me. But it concerns me as a human being and a fellow Chinese… not as a Malaysian.

Working at DIMIA has allowed me to read these issues and be aware of what is going on. How can a country that is so modernized in its technology, economy, intelligence and have hard working citizens – can have such a poor political system and rising corruption rates! It is multicultural nation, why can everyone recognise each others’ differences and live harmoniously instead of dictating others! I’m sooo mad! Plus it is ‘Harmony Day’ here in Australia. It shows that we value everyone’s differences and actually celebrate it! I appreciate being here in Perth, but then again I wish I could make a stand, for my chinese bros and sis out there in M’sia.

In Malaysia I will not have a chance to voice out such an opinion…I would probably be beaten or put in jail. :/ For just saying what I feel. The Chinese will never forget the day in 1969 of the bloody racial-riots between the Malays and the Chinese. I was not born then, but my parents recall that horrific day, they were only children at that time. When will there be a time where all citizens in Malaysia are given equal rights? That is the day when Malaysia can truly show their true potential as being one of the greatest nations in this world! I truly respect those Chinese who still choose to stay there – work hard and who are so tolerant, you are the reason of Malaysia’s development and you should be proud!
