A few days ago, I noticed one of sixthseal.com’s posts, which is full of extremely disturbing comments. It’s awfully hard to maintain my composure after passing through it even at fastest possible speed. What started out as a complaint against the author of the blog ends up with racists people scouring all over for a chance to abuse free speech.
I don’t really quite comprehend on how the issue is being turned into racist’s capital. Why couldn’t people just say fuck you instead of fuck Malay or any other race for that matter. Why must race come into the convoluted and irrational equation in the first place?
Perhaps, it’s merely trolls. Or perhaps, there really are people out there that prefer a racist to a liberal society – looking for every chance to undo so much that has been done.
I guess, so much for a Malaysian dream.
p/s – BN Kelantan dug its own grave. After much demand of dissolution, offer of resignation, counter-demand and counter-offer between BN and PAS on Kelantan state assembly, deputy chairman of the Election Commission speaks out in Utusan today that if anybody resigns, such person will be barred from running for office for the next five years, as stated in EC rules. The Prime Minister, from BN himself, echoes the EC deputy chairman’s words.
This is sure to embarrass BN and particularly UMNO Kelantan while putting a stop to all these silly demands.
pp/s – does this mean Flying Spaghetti Monster is to be taught as a mythology too?
LAWRENCE, Kan. – Creationism and intelligent design are going to be studied at the University of Kansas, but not in the way advocated by opponents of the theory of evolution.
A course being offered next semester by the university religious studies department is titled “Special Topics in Religion: Intelligent Design, Creationism and other Religious Mythologies.”
Ouch.

Yeah… Politicians are to be blamed for all these… sigh…
Dudes, the harsh reality is that BN has failed in racial integration in Malaysia. Thus, since it’s their policies that caused this, they should take the blame for it as well. Racial parties, racial policies, racial everything. One can’t escape ‘race’ in Malaysia. And it smacks of hypocracy that BN loves to count ‘racial harmony’ as one of it’s achievements since Independence Day. It’s all merely a thin facade. BN should stop running away from the thorny race-relation problems that we have now and instead face up to the real racial issues that’s plagueing this country. And we should show our rejection to this ugly racial politiking modus operandi that BN is so fond of using by scorning BN and giving our support to multiracial parties.
Not that they were in the right or anything, but what do you expect with the bulk of Article 153, the social contract and Ketuanan Melayu? Young non-Malays don’t feel like they belong in Malaysia, so it’s not surprising the more weak-minded among them turn to racism. (Remember the violent Black Power movement in the US in the 60s?)
I share your feelings * sigh *
