Racism, in general.

Upon producing this blog, we, the bloggers a.k.a. the group members will discuss on the topic "Racism Among University Students".

First of all, Malaysia herself is a developing country that comprises of multi races that speaks multiple languages and the three main languages that are spoken in Malaysia are Bahasa Melayu, Bahasa Cina and Bahasa Tamil. These three main races in Malaysia coexists among each other since the older days where the Malays are the biggest race here in Malaysia followed by the Chinese and the Indians. There are also other races as well such as the Bidayuh, Iban, Kadazan, Murut and many others to be named. All of these races, are combined together to form Malaysia, a multicultural country. and as usual, where there is unity, there shall always be problem. One of the main concern here is that among the multicultural people of Malaysia, there exists a problem that can arose to such a degree of disaster, called racial hatred.

As we can see, the biggest disaster that we can relate to this matter is the '13th May Tragedy'. This bloody tragedy which shows the peak of the racial hatred was brought up by the people of Malaya herself because of the lack of agreement among the people of Malaya at that time and there are huge numbers of opposition supporters which were mainly comprised of Chinese. This tragedy led to lots of bloods being spilled and the loss of properties. For more detailed information, you can refer to this, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_13_incident. This webpage explains the tragedy in detail.

All in all, we are here as the student of universities all over Malaysia, exists among one another with different culture and race background. This issue, racism, although may seem to be quite insignificant, is actually a matter of life and death as it can grow to such an immense height where it could have led to another bloody tragedy which we don't want for it to happen. I am hoping, which I really hope for it to not happen, that we can coexist in the university with peace and harmony regardless of how many races are there and not to forget that if we want to be successful, we must thrive together without having any prejudices among one another.

Thus said, Dasvidanja! :)

and thak you :D

Lucky To Be Here.

Hello all. This will be the very first entry for the many, or not too many upcoming entries that will be posted here on this blog. This blog is produced to satisfy the requirement for the English For Social Sciences course and it will also be a collaborated group task in which we will be graded accordingly by our dear lecturer.

This group consists of four students. Fatin Adilin, Indira Malani, Lorreta Gale and me, the only surviving guy that's able to crawl out of a dark pit, Shahrul Muhazad. Me, being the only guy in this group was reluctantly appointed as the group leader by those three girls -.-"

Okay. So I'll just cut it short in order to preserve the readers'(will there be any?) eyes rather than typing long and stupid rants that nobody's ever gonna read at all.

Here, in this blog, we'll discuss about the issue of Racism Among University Students. That's the main point that we'll be discussing about after this. Then, the main issue will be divided into three small categories in which the first one will be "WHY DOES IT HAPPEN?". The second one, "IS IT STILL PRESENT IN THIS MODERN DAYS?" and the third one, "WHAT CALAMITIES WILL THIS CONFLICT BRING ABOUT?".

So, to end this first entry, I, with the utmost gratitude would like to kindly ask for everybody's point of view, perception and if someone can present me with a solution or maybe we should call it as a "matter-of-slowing-down-the-progress", WOULD YOU KINDLY HELP US WITH IT?

That's all. Thank You :)
