RACISM is toxic and very evident in Malaysia. It is well organised and has become systemic.
Key political parties are race-based and for nearly six decades, this was the accepted formula. We all contributed to this progression as they were elected and re-elected.
Racism is a human condition that we are all called to transcend. The “other” always remains a significant contributor to who we become.
For more than two decades Dr Mahathir Mohamad was at the helm. Prior to his arrival we had the Rukunegara – a testament of hope and an enabler to the New Economic Policy (NEP).

South China Morning Post
A Dutch designer recently drew the ire of Malaysians after her remarks on baju kurung, a traditional Malay attire, went viral on social media.
In an interview with South China Morning Post (SCMP) on Jan 15, Lisette Scheer, 50, reminisced about her multicultural experiences growing up in several cities including Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore.
Scheer shared that she decided to return to Kuala Lumpur in her early 30s after feeling homesick for Malaysia .
However, the city that she came back to, was different from the safe, big kampung where she had grown up in. She was also shocked to see the quick commercialisation of Malaysia.
