COMMENT | "Why can't you think like a Malay? Why do you only speak out for the non-Malays and why do you think you know everything? How much is DAP paying you?" These are some of the questions which are asked on my Facebook page or my website via private messaging.
I will not mention names, suffice to say that most of the people who leave nasty comments use a fictitious email. Nevertheless, I will attempt to answer their questions.
Question one: "Why can't you think like a Malay?"
I write my opinions based on what I see, feel and read. When I see injustice or corruption, I will write what I observe or know. As far as I am aware, Malay, Chinese, Indian or any other race would react in a similar manner.
The Malays were once renowned for their tolerance, their gentle manners and their good nature; but in materialistic Malaysia, many Malays now exhibit long toes, have developed very thin skin and shut-out the opinions of others, as if their lives depended on it (actually this is more true than what we think, especially for those whose tainted past could put them away behind bars for a long time).
Which Malay was he referring to? Umno-Baru, PAS and Bersatu Malays worship at the altar of money. Religion is used to manipulate the electorate's behaviour, with the promise of being fast-tracked to heaven...
