The remarks of several Ministers and Officials of the Malaysian government on stopping the remains of Chin Peng to return to Malaysia, IMO, is childish, reflects an unforgiving nature and incapable of compassion. The remarks were of course also absolutely unnecessary. The reaction does not acknowledge our nation's history. More regrettably, it shields (especially) our younger generation from a discourse that would help them understand and appreciate our nation's past.
We need to appreciate the fact that nations have histories (not just one history) across a long timeline. They may not be aware of it but the knee-jerk reactions of such ministers and officials will definitely go down in history to be studied by our future generations.
Ignorance of our past will fail us in the future.
