It is time

What does it mean to be Malaysian? Does it mean that I’m Chinese, you’re Malay and I don’t care about what the other guy is?
What does it mean to be democratic? Does it mean that we play by the West’s standards but make up our own rules, citing multi-culturism as a darn good excuse to divide and rule?
What does it take to get the ISA and the Sedition Act repealed? How many more people must be jailed to keep the government as the government?
What does it mean to be patriotic? Raising a flag on National Day yet shouting racist slurs behind curtains?
What does it take to topple the ever-mighty, but non-functioning and even “racist” government?
What does it take to drill the fact across that Malaysians are Malaysians for a reason? We love Malaysia. We don’t belong in China. And your racist slurs and 20th century BC thoughts don’t represent the general public’s thoughts?
This boy is sick and tired of race-based stance, sectarian-centered benefits and an ever tilted economic and social scale.
This boy proposes a society where all men are equal. And no, not a society where some men are more equal than others.
This boy understands that we are brothers and sisters of this nation. This boy believes that this relationship transcends boundaries allegedly drawn up by race, religion and cultural difference.
Above all this, this boy believes that we, Malaysians have to stand united. We have years of progress, civilization, technology, education and wealth to go after. So, stop that fighting already. It’s time we picked ourselves up. It is time.
