Why does it happen?

Again, stating the word "racism" always bring shiver down my spine. This is a very controversial issue that was never brought up before publicly as the public would only care about some other unimportant news. They care about the medias, entertainment, and gossips. That is what they really care. The kind of issue that we are trying to bring forth is this, "Racism among university students". Of course people will say that this is a small and mediocre issue, but if left untreated, it will lead to the crumbling of our nation. and when I said it will, IT WILL HAPPEN.

The point is, racism happens. It is amongst us for all this while, just that we never really cared about them. All those ignorant and selfish people out there don't really care about them, and that is what made it worst. So anyway, WHY DOES IT HAPPEN?

Easy, it happens because we are not implemented with the sense of having proper racial integrity that we should have had since the older days. Try coming down to your own senses. Why are we living in a multiracial country now? and the answer is simple, because our ancestors managed to live together in a multiracial Malaya. and that is what made Malaysia now.

But, try to take a look at the condition of our country now. Have you ever lived in a neighborhood where you have three houses next to each other whose house were inhibited by three different races ; Indian, Malay and Chinese. Have you had the thought of how they will manage to live? Some will say that they will live harmoniously from what they eyes have seen. BUT, have you ever looked past that and see through what they actually think of each other? Do you think they like each other? Or are they playing masquerade and pretended that they don't have any problems, at all?

I AM NOT A RACIST NOR DO I HATE OTHERS. But what I would really like to say is that, I want to see the people of Malaysia, our people, to live together and coexists properly and stand together united, as ONE. Our Prime Minister brought up the issue of "1Malaysia". But I don't think that nobody ever really cared about it. Yes there are some who diligently trying to accomplish this dream. But what about the others that never cared about it? Think people, think.

We, the people of Malaysia should open up our narrow mind, wider and try to comprehend what this issue is really about. I am quite disappointed to see this. I am sorry to say this but, we Malaysians are somewhat narrow minded people. You are not one if you really care about this, don't worry :)

    Well I dont feel that malaysia is having a problem in racism compared to other countries in the past ie south africa, USA, indondesia I feel our problem is that people have taken for granted the priviliges that is given to them and yes I do feel that it should be taken away or at least take it away in stages. Therefore causing it to look like we are being discrminated. I personally have not experienced any racial problems when i was home and i hope that i won't as well. We've done pretty well to stay peaceful. Thats enough to show we dont have a problem yet.

    Contributing Sources, Causes and Factors of Racism

    ------>Ignorance..many people think it is a small thing and just happen in west counties..we realise or not..it do happen in Malaysia...ignorance..For instance, chinese ignore Malays in giving job in their company due to different races.
    ------>Jealousy - Refugees and migrants blamed for taking jobs. Besides that, can you deny the fact that SOME OF OUR CITIZENS jealous on our chinese friends because they conquer Malaysia's economy?i said..only some...emm..think by yourself..
    ------>Lack of understanding of the need for government support and vulnerability of refugee communities..
