for the state of our country's unity. Normally, I would refrain from speaking on anything related to politics as that is not really my area of interest but lately, things are not getting any better. Each time, there is a meeting of certain groups of people, calls for the non-majority people to go home, go away or go to a neighbouring get louder and louder.
The question here is; are they doing this for the sake of getting short term support? or they truly meant it? Aren't we all (after 50 years of independence) Malaysians? Aren't we all, majority or not, arrived in Malaysia from other parts of the world? Aren't we all, considered as immigrants?
I admit my forefathers are from China but would I go back there? The answer is HELL NO! Why? Malaysia is my country - my home, the place where I was born, brought up and will most probably die and buried.
For those who keep asking us to go back, think for a minute, YOU are also not from here, your forefathers and their fathers (just like mine) came here to seek an opportunity. Why not co-exist harmoniously like how they have enjoyed in the past?
On that note, don't you think unity should come from within you and not from wearing a certain band that is so publicly advertised nowadays? WE don't need a stupid rubber based band to show our unity!
