I applaud the positive actions and posts of Malaysian Indians like danny, ditesh and byte in response to the HINDRAF rally.

I am however very disappointed that some have tried to portray all Malaysians negatively, as much as calling us an apartheid nation and asking foreigners for the boycott of Malaysian businesses. I state again that this is the corrupt BN government against all Malaysians irrespective of race.

This was a Malay Malaysian at Batu Burok who was shot with live bullets by police at a ceramah (public speech) for fair elections recently in Terengganu. Just to repeat that again, they were shot at. One was hit in the chest, another was hit in the neck. How quickly we forget, or maybe because the guys were Malay,  we can look the other way? And if we replace this with Indian it's not ok?

There is a lesson here on why Malaysian rights should be race free. Sticking up for the rights of your race only, doesn't help us build a better multiracial country. We should stick up for the rights that apply to all Malaysians, so whether you're Malay, Indian, Chinese, Iban, Penan, Orang Asli etc. if we see another being deprived of their Malaysian rights that have been accorded to others, we have to stick up for them. If peaceful protestors have been hosed down by FRU, we have to help them (see Kampung Baru folk). Why? Because they're Malaysians. The moment you start having different sets of rights, is when we get into trouble like my example above, and you start being racist yourself. I'm only going to stick for the rights of my own kind!

HINDRAF rally is just the latest in ongoing disputes the Malaysian people have against the current government. It goes to show that the BN government are running scared and cracking down on anything and everything to ensure that the current corrupt system is in place.

Imagine how difficult it would be to get into KL city centre soon for anybody,

• Wearing yellow shirts (or any yellow apparel)
  
• Wearing light blue shirts
• Wearing green and kopiah (skull cap)
• Looks like an Indian Malaysian (I don't know what the criteria they use for this)
• Have an interest in building hobby rockets (particular red in colour)
  
• Calling themselves a blogger
  
• Wearing a Tux T-shirt?
  

We're heading towards a new generation now, with new ideas, and I'd like for us to all move together away from the past racial system and instead work to protect our rights equally as Malaysians.

For example, everybody should have a right to eat what they want, so instead of fighting for the right to have beef or pork banned everywhere based on racial and religious lines, we should instead settle on a set of equal rights where we say, each place of eating should state clearly what they are serving to respect the rights of others to not eat something taboo to their beliefs. Now this would respect the rights of all Malaysians. I believe this is the direction we need to go for the future.
