Racial Harmony (Part 2)

As mentioned in the earlier post, racial tolerance is means everything to a successful nation. A good example is having an African American as the president of the United States of America. The idea would not even have crossed their minds fifty years ago. In Malaysia, we are all supposed to treat each other the same and with due respect to various customs and believes.

However, these days, we do have cases of racial arguments and disturbing issues that threatens to shatter the harmony that our country has maintained for more than half a century. Incidents such as church burning, mosque desecration and mass pig slaughtering are just example of happenings that are alarming most citizens in Malaysia.

Who gave anybody the right to disturb the peace of our country? One most remember that our country is still characterized as a developing country. If we ever aim to gain developed country status, petty issue and misunderstandings have to be put aside. These days,countless individuals take actions in their respective god’s name. This can never be accepted by anyone in the right mind. Most of these actions are performed by those with the power to make others submit to them and their rulings.

All that we can hope is that time holds the key to peace and that as time passes, the hatred and anger passing between all religions and countries will subdue. Unity of the world is all that can guarantee a better future for the next generation.
