Which one you fear more?
Weather: Fair
Temperature: 17 c
Kevin (the lawyer in Hong Kong) sent me a youtube link recently. It's a 18-minute video clip entitled “At the crossroads - Malaysia”. Thanks Kevin.
If you have the time, please click here to view the footage. Like I said, it is 18 minutes long, it might take up some of your time. If you are working now, you may want to view it during your break or leisure time.
This video clip tells us nothing more than what we already knew. Especially being the non-bumi in Malaysia, we understand deeply the problems highlighted in the video clip. The information contained in it, like Lina Joy case, Moorthy Case etc, is meant for outsiders who know little or nothing about Malaysia. You may agree or not agree with it, but that's not the point of this article.
What I want to talk about here is the interview with the Perak Mufti shown in the video clip (at 16:15). “Don’t touch Islam.” he said. Please look at his eyes and facial expression when he said, “now, who's having the rich economy in this country? The Indians and the Chinese. They bully the Malays, that we know... that I know...”. The eyes can't lie. He really meant what he said and he actually believed in what he said. Bear in mind that he is not just another Pak Janggut who sells jagung at the roadside of North-South Highway. He is a Perak Mufti, an influential people in Malaysia, many people will believe in what he says.
When I looked at his eyes, a chill ran through my spine. That was my fear. This kind of people in Malaysia, people who share his opinion, are getting more in number or less? If the answer is “more”, then a time bomb is set for the non-Malays in Malaysia. It's just a matter of time before the non-bumis become a target. Especially so when a crisis hits Malaysia. Judging by what the Mufti has said, when there is nothing else for Malaysians to eat and live, the Chinese and Indians (which are the vulnerable target) will be blamed and definitely be lynched.
I urge you to look at the eyes of the Mufti again. My question is: honestly, which one do you fear more: the eyes of the Mufti or the uncertainties of seeking a future outside Malaysia?
