COMMENT | Dear Uncle Nades, 

It is that time of the year again. My father’s annual moaning and groaning have already started with his repeated phone calls asking me to come home.

In your note last year, you asked me to stay in England. You wrote: “Almost all systems in the country are skewed, and the government administrators see ethnicity in everything - from selection and appointments to promotions.

“The government is aware of the large number of Malaysians emigrating but does not want to address the elephant in the room. Instead, a lot of rhetoric is dished out from the prime minister downwards.”

After you spoke to Dad, he accepted that I could remain and occasionally visit, especially for Chinese New Year. But that lasted just a year, and he has started harping on it again.

I am seriously considering returning to Malaysia.
