To me the root cause is that our nation is still divided along racial and cultural lines with no middle ground where people of various races could collectively identify themselves with........we've seen the phony Anak Bangsa Malaysia syndrome trying their best to slip through into Mainstream thinking process......and yet they fail to notice the cold hard fact that you must start early beginning with our kids......you cannot just one day say that you are Anak Bangsa Malaysia when you go around identifying yourself as I'm a "Your Race" Malaysian etc....you must be able to subscribe to the critical foundation of this nation.............
Perhaps the lyrics of the song Indonesia Saja by Dewa can help you understand what I'm trying to put forward
aku bukan orang jawa
aku juga bukan sunda
aku bukan orang aceh
aku juga bukan ambon
aku bukan cina
aku juga bukan barat
aku bukan kiri
aku juga bukan kanan
aku bukan hijau
aku juga bukan merah
aku hanya merasa
aku orang indonesia saja
aku hanya merasa
aku orang indonesia saja
Well here's the thing folks.....the birth of the Real Anak Bangsa Malaysia begins now........as today marks the beginning of a long-term campaign to push for A Single School System for Malaysians, it was a campaign conceived on the cyberspace(which I'm very proud to be a part of) and will soon invade every single part of our country......
