It's time we stop playing the race-game


Political leaders, if you are worthy to be called leaders - should consciously and actively break down the race barriers. Everyone demands something:

PM Abdullah warned not to stoke racial tensions: “Do not marginalise the Malays. I want to ask Lim Guan Eng what his plans are for the Malays in Penang What are his plans for the Indians in Penang? What are his plans for other minority groups in Penang?

While the Malays in Penang demand that: Kami ORANG MELAYU PULALU PINANG adalah orang yang paling malang di TANAH MELAYU, Malaysia. And Khir Toyo on new Selangor Exco: “There are only a few Malay exco members (being mentioned). We don’t want to see the new opposition-led state government to practice discrimination and hope that they heed the racial sensitivity of the Selangor people.

The MCA chief Datuk Ong Ka Chuan on appointment of PAS Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin as MB of Perak: He said Mohammad's appointment went against the wishes of voters, especially non-Muslims. “Having a mentri besar from PAS creates fear among non-Muslims. This also creates political instability.” Hi brother, the MCA President Ong Ka Ting assured party members and supporters that the party would continue to fight to protect and uphold the rights of the Chinese community.

Even the Independent candidate for Bukit Selambau state seat in Perlis, V.Arumugam said he would join PKR if the newly formed Kedah state government agrees to appoint him a state executive councillor. "I will do that in the interest of the Indian community and the people who voted for me," he said.

We need to tell these people"NO MORE! Start rallying the people together and Rakyat Malaysia - we will go through difficult and good time, we must do it together".

Every politician have that opportunity to stand-up to be a true statesman, any among us today?
