ya, bangsa saya cina, tapi lebih penting dari itu, saya anak Malaysia.
Sejak sekolah rendah, kita semua diajar supaya “tak bilang bangsa dan agama”, dan saya percaya 100% ini adalah jalan yang betul, hingga sekarang, saya masih kekal dengan kepercayaan itu.
tetapi, setiap kali saya diminta isikan “bangsa” dalam mana mana borang, saya rasa kesetiaan saya sebagai bangsa Malaysia diragui.
Cubalah percaya, kebanyakan dari masyarakat malaysia tidak memantah niat baik “Dasar Ekonimi Baru” untuk mengagihkan kekayaan ekonomi kepada kaum yang lebih keperluan.
Tetapi, Cara implementasi yang telah kita semua tontonkan selama berpuluh puluh tahun lepas, telah membuktikan yang pihak yang telah ditanggung jawabkan untuk usaha itu telah gagal menjalankan dasar itu dengan jujur, dan hakikatnya, hanya satu golongan tertentu yang menikmati kekayaan dari dasar itu. Saya kasihan degan kawan kawan melayu saya yang tidak dapat sama sama menikmati kek ekonomi negara.
Bukan cina yang merompak kek itu dari kaum Melayu, tetapi kumpulan tertentu Melayu sendiri yang telah menghampakan semua Malaysia, termasuk Melayu, cina and india, sebab itu lah sehingga hari ini, kita semua masih tidak dapat mencapai harmoni dan percaya satu sama lain.
Saya sedih, saya tak tahu apa yang say boleh buat, saya tak salahkan kawan kawan melayu saya, saya bangsa malaysia, bukan cina!

kita kena tengok bilangan penduduk berbilang bangsa. Majoriti Melayu merupakan penduduk yang teramai di Malaysia, di ikuti Cina, India dan bangsa2 lain.

Kalau lihat pada statistik, bangsa Melayu masih jauh ketinggalan.Masih ramai yang mundur. Kami hanya mahukan pembahagian kek ekonomi yang lebih adil.

Mungkin kaum2 lain mengatakan tidak adil kerana Melayu dan Bumiputera kelihatan lebih diberi keistimewaan. Tetapi pada hakikatnya, kaum2 minoriti Cina dan India lebih kaya dari kaum majoriti. Tidak percaya, lihatlah statistik di Jabatan Perangkaan. Lihatlah ranking org2 terkaya di Malaysia.Di mana kami sebagai majoriti di Malaysia.

Mahukah kawan2 saya Cina dan India membantu kami untuk bersama-sama menikmati kek tersebut? sudahlah kami dahulunya di tindas dan serba serbi kekurangan semasa era penjajahan.

Jika rasa , selama ini kelebihan yang kami dapat menjejaskan anda..logikkah kawanku Cina dan India masih dapat hidup mengekalkan kekayaan anda dan meluaskan pegangan ekonomi, pendidikan,budaya dan serba serbi. kami tidak mengggangu hak asas anda..fahamilah.

Kami hanya mahukan kek tersebut di bahagi sama rata..kami mahu bersama2 anda hidup di bumi Malaysia.

This firm is great. The contradiction seem always happens in everyday. I am a Chinese and used to work with many Malays and i found most of them are really friendly and kind and i am really happy to work with them. and i believe we could build up a good relationship between each others.

However, whenever i heard some racialist politician say something and it’s really hurt that could destroy all of the image and relationship between Malays. It’s a hard feeling of unfair, unreasonable, n dun know how to dealt with it. I dun know why the relationship is so hard to build and everyday i just live in the contradiction just like the boy in the firm.

They are actually the root cause that make the contradiction always there. It took few days/years to build up the relationship but they just take one seconds to destroy them.

One malaysia is just a slogan or just a dream? hope those racialist politician know how to achieve it.

RESPOND TO RAZOR AND CHOCO MSG…..

i am agree that actually some time why people ask muslim those question. They ask because they are not understand, so i think education should make people understand deeply. WHY THIS AND WHY THAT with a good reason.
it is same with some people might ask “why monk need botak? this is also is the concept problem, once u not understand, then u also will not answer people. SO everyone should understand other concept and also own concept……..

discrimination actually happen, why? I have do a simple test before, i asked people around “why u hate to eat vegetable?” the answer is like this, “i also dun knw why, just because dun like lo, maybe is because my friend and parent also din eat, SO I ALSO DUN LIKE IT”
hope you all understand what i mean……….

UNDERSTANDING IS THE FIRST……….

wow… only 2 characters, 1 voice over and 2 perfectly shot scenes but brilliantly effective. it is sad that the director is no longer with us.

for those who didn’t pick up on this film i’ll explain…

first I must say that the race of the characters in this short story are immaterial… the boy and mother could have been malay or indian … the girl could have been indian or chinese… it would not have made any difference to the story or its message.

the voiceover of the boy’s mother basically represents a lingering prejudice that exists in Malaysia which is faceless, mysterious, full of contempt and unknown (that is why you don’t actually see the mother)… i believe that all people of malaysia are influenced by it regardless of race ( i wonder what the voiceover inside the malay girl’s head and in the indian boy’s head across the street is saying).

the boy’s rebelliousness represents the opportunity that the young people have in being able to think differently and not being influenced by other people’s prejudices.

and the piece of chocolate which is also the title of this film represents unity… if the boy had given the chocolate to the girl even though she didn’t have enough money, a bond would have formed between them that bridged a cultural divide. (sure it would have lasted 30 seconds and was rather insignificant in the scheme of things but everything has to start somewhere!)

It is sad that the prejudice being projected by the boy’s mother influenced him not to give the malay girl the chocolate. But the fact that the boy seriously thought about chasing after her with it means there is still hope.

so there it is.

i am a muslim-malay and i have many friends comes from different races. i still remember when i was in the high school, my Chinese friend ask me , “kenape u x makan babi?” when i heard that question, i just laugh and sincerely, no hard feeling about it because i know she doesnt have any idea why the MUSLIM not the malay, cannot eat pork. What i did was, i smile to her and said, tuhan saya x kasi makan maa. klu tuhan kasi makan, saya memang da makan. And that simple answer actlly already satisfied her and it end up with a laughing. So, to my malaysian friends, when it comes about converting to islam or pork’s issue, it is no longer about the race, it is about the religion and religion’s issue is actlly belongs to GOD.

And for the malay, please remember islam is not yours, Islam is for all. So, dun be mad when ur non muslim ask, why u dont eat pork or why u kne ‘potong’. They just dun know and just treat it as a question, not as an insult.

Lastly, thank god for creating a woman name Yasmin ahmad. Because of her, the bond between different races in malaysia getting better. I hope, the next generation of malaysian will be like her, no more gaduh-gaduh among malay, chinese and indian because we are malaysian.
