Last nite, I was at my mother-in-law's. I am grateful to God in that I have one of those really nice mothers-in-law who do not speak to me much. It's not that she is angry with me or anything. But that's the way it has been. I also do my best to keep it that way, very politely of course. So, during those visits to my in-law's (when there is always plenty of food, with the rarer promise of tasting nice - my son will attest to that) I just 'assume the position' on the sofa and watch Astro, which I had installed so that my mum-in-law can watch her favorite shows. (Now she actually has three Astro connections in the house. Maklumlah, orang kaya) But last nite there was something wrong with Astro in my mum-in-law's upper-class neighbourhood - no picture. So while the wife and kids were visiting with their grandma, I 'assumed the position' and caught up on some 'shut eye'. Then I started thinking about all the racial crap that is going on right now. First of all, it is obvious that the people who are not superior in any way at all are being misled that they are somehow superior to others who are actually quite superior, in many ways. This is a very sad joke indeed. Although it is actually a political play now, there does seem to be more of this 'superiority' crap down at the street level. But I feel that this superiority complex is superficial. It is not real. All of us Malaysians should take cognisance of this. After 50 years I get the feeling that there is substantial bonding between the races in the country. People really get along quite well. To illustrate this 'racial blurring', try to guess what is my race, from reading what I have writtten here? The only exceptions to this rule are the marginalised Indians (the Hindraf type people) and many Malays who have been imbued with too much religious indoctrination. These two groups are still physically and practically removed from the rest of the country. The Hindraf type Indians are a minority, yet they can be a significantly 'unhappy' sector of the economy. The religiously inclined Malays are a large number. We really need to address these two groups of people. We cannot just let them be, to fester in their own passions. It may not be healthy for the rest of us. But the actors who have recently kicked up all the fuss about race are second rate politicians, one is a wannabe ketupat from the BN and the others are has been dim sum also from the BN. Its a BN vs. BN thing. Ketupat BN vs. dim sum BN. It does not go beyond that. At the street level, the vast numbers of Malaysians who did not vote for these two clowns could not really be bothered. They are just waiting for the next round of general elections to, again, kick them out of office completely. Just wait and see. Then, while I was 'assuming the position' at my mum-in-law's, I also started counting the number of people I know who are of mixed racial parentage. 30 years ago, meeting people of mixed racial parentage was still a novelty. 'Hey Krishnan has a Chinese mother lah!' Fazlur Rahman Ebrahim's mother is Chinese his father is Indian lah! And so on. But today, the racial mix in the country is astounding. There is hardly a Malaysian family, especially living along the West coast, which does not have at least one family member who is married to another race. The mix is so thorough that even the offspring of kangkong and kailan have 'assumed the position' of head vegetable! Now isn't that a show stopper? No one knows know what is going to happen to them tomorrow. Try peering into the ball to see another 30 years ahead. Let's wait and see.
