Kash’s World

Some of my friends assume that I will be joining the Hindraf rally on Sunday; probably having read that I walked in the Bersih rally three weeks ago.

Well, I won’t be joining this rally because I am interested in seeing a different approach to solving our many problems. I want to see Malaysians rise above race and religion because, for one, our problems affect everyone irrespective of race and religion.

Of course, some sectors of our society are affected more seriously and I fully understand and symphatise with the many concerns that Hindraff has raised. But taking a narrow race based approach and in this case coupled with a religious slant is not going to solve anything.

As a matter of fact, when you think about it, aren’t the roots of our problems caused by similar racial and religious centric approaches?

Anyway, I am in total agreement with the points made by Haris Ibrahim in his posting on why he won’t be marching tomorrow too.

On Facebook, I created a group last month called Saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia!. It was inspired by the following words of His Royal Highness the Regent of Perak, Raja Nazrin.

“Malaysians of all races and religions need to believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that they have a place under the Malaysian sun.”

Let’s all work in unity towards that aim.
