I'm stirring nothing. I'm suggesting a solution. If all the Chinese in Malaysia embrace Islam and adopt Muslim names, the tensions that exist will evaporate very quickly. In Thailand, skin colour is a non issue. There is no reason why Malaysia can't achieve the same harmony.
You mean, tomorrow I go to Geylang Seria, buy a couple of songkoks, sarongs & whatever , change my name to Malay or Muslim one & embrace Islam??
When I was in school, we were taught English as the main language, Chinese as the second language & a third language in which all of us have to take MALAY, which was a non examination subjects. We were taught to read, write & converse in Malay. This was removed by the M.O.E., in later years, the later generation know only, half past six English & Manadarin, many neither proficient in English nor Chinese...
My Chinese friends in Malaysia, speaks & write, Malay, English & Chinese, speaks Mandarin, Malay & their mother tongues, which could be, Hakka, Cantonese, Hokkien & the other minor ones, like Teochew, Hainanese etc
It is people, who bring up the race divide that stir up the harmony that had been built since 1969. We are not talking about skin color.. or hair or eye color...we are talking , as one people , regardless of what we look like, what or we speak, believe in.
You are being racist..
