Sammy, you have to be very careful in writing as you are a blogger.

A blogger has to be responsible and write the truth, not with racist statement in this multi-racial society.

Please do apologize sincerely to Hindraf as they are having their brothers under ISA detention.

Do you really think and believe the tai-ko gangster Semi Value is doing any good to Indian society? never ever as his own pocket is more important than the complete Malaysia Indian.

He is the sin and the shame of Indian society. The poor level of Indian community is because of his good effort as he is good at rapping his own race.

Just like UMNO the sinful party is good at marginalize majority of Malaysian.

Wahh FFT, you brought up a good point. Politicians from a certain political party tend to get away with all kinds of racist comments. They can wave weapons, they can threaten to kill minorities (there should be a new census so we know that the playing field is leveling as we speak), they can call us squatters and still be involved in politics even though they've been barred from doing so, and can hide behind a policy that grants them rights to get ahead at the expense of many.

I'm not condoning Sammy's comments. They are boorish (coming from a petite individual does not make it less so), ethnocentric, and extremely uncalled for seeing as how they can create racial disharmony. Sammy, you should know better and I hope you think before you write next time! You have inadvertantly stolen the thunder from a very racist political party...

Aiya, you people are all over reacting over this blogger. You all make her sound like a rare citizen who just committed a capital crime. If you guys say that there should not be racists in a multi-racial society then we all need a reality check. We are all racists to some extent when we comment about the Malays, the Chinese and the Indians. We generalise our statements and apply it to the whole community like “Malays are lazy and the youths are drug addicts who just lepak and do nothing” OR “The Chinese are unscrupulous, arrogant, greedy and cheaters”. We make fun of each other, we hate each other and we ridicule each other but in the end we are all Malaysians. At least that’s what my MyKad says. But I have very good friends and associates who are of all races and they have my admiration and respect. I think we need RPK to help educate all of us further and to remind us what it means to be a Malaysian.

Sammy is entitled to her opinion based on her own observation, assessment, up-bringing and within her own circle of friends and community. Did anybody take the trouble to explain that she was wrong in making her statement? No, we are ready to jump on her and tear her to pieces. So much for the re-education of Sammy! We have just fuelled her hatred more. What is accomplished? Hey, if Ahmad Ismail can tear up Koh’s photo, maybe we should try tearing up everybody’s photo whom we have grown to hate. Racialism is alive and well in Malaysia and it is growing. We can’t rely on the BN/UMNO to solve this when they have been breeding racialism for 50 over years. They were the cause of segregation and polarisation of all the races. Instead of understanding each other more over the years, we understand each other less and we are Malaysians. MyKad says so. We as a community must put a stop to this. But not the way some of us are handling Sammy’s issue now. How different are we from her? Really not much…that’s the sad part.

Heck, don’t talk about Sammy, look at me. I made unkind remarks of all Indians as drunkards, wife beaters, thieves, murderers, gangsters and con-artiste. You can’t call me a racist because I am an Indian (since I last checked in the mirror). So if I can think like this, it’s not too difficult for Sammy to make the same assumption. It’s a perception that has been generalised and expressed at the moment of anger or frustration. Don’t over react over this when the racial divide in this country is far and wide. We have bigger problems to attend to and we can solve this problem by throwing the BN/UMNOputras out.

The Indian community is facing a lot of social ills, thanks to the Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC) headed by our dear Samy Vellu. The community has been categorically marginalised economically by the BN and Samy the Vellu and his gang of thieves, who stepped on is own community to enrich himself. I certainly hope he burns in Hell for this! Without help or support for the community, these social ills have become a stigma but then again who is there to help? Everyone have their own agendas. I must note here that the MCA Public Complaints Bureau did come to the aid of some Indians who sought their help. Can you imagine that? We have the MIC and some Indian went to the MCA to get help. So Sammy, we Keling Quis have a lot of problems to sort out as community and we need your help. For starters try and make an understanding of this. It will only enrich you. Sorry about your hand phone. Be more careful next time.

A Non-Racist person never thinks which race he/she is coming from but a citizen of the beloved country. He does not condemn a race when a policy is discriminating in nature but condemn the person who did the wrong.

By just saying bad things about UMNO or the Malays for disagreement of the NEP for example is also a bloody racist person.

If a person party leaders from their race says something racist, every one of that particular race will be trying to forgive that person.

Don't condemn a particular race but say it with facts or by name...examples:

X% of XYZ race prefer to have their own race school and lives in their own community...

I say this, and I will say it again. Sammy is nothing more than the end product of our racist education. Family may play a role in moulding the character of a child but the long hours spent in school can be psychologically threatening. There were days when my two boys would come back from school muttering cursories under their breath for something a teacher had said, and I have to tell them to think critically about the subject and weigh its pros and cons before making any judgment. So how much do parents have to morally educate their children? Very little. Anyway, racial issues are not confined on an inter level but intra level as well. I am a Chinese Malaysian and there were times when a fellow Chinese did not show some sense of road courtesies, I could feel myself almost going ballistic and would have probably use the statement, "that moronic **@@@!!! chinese!". We are living in a stressful & bottled-up society and any unfortunate mishap, like Sammy's, could easily trigger off some negative emotions, and it could have happened to us as well.

Dear AsamLaksa.

You got the point where many others don't.
Freedom of speech, no matter how offensive, should be respected.
Poor girl is not a public figure.
Neither is she some policy maker.
She is just a ordinary folk like you and I who was extremely disturbed when someone snatched or stole her handphone after a bad day.
For making an entry into her blog expressing her mood and anger that day, she had a whole community (perhaps a whole nation) bearing down on her and calling on the authorities to throw the harshest laws on her.
They probably want to see her in a cell next to RPK.

She did not invite anyone to view her diary and she did qualify her blog as a nonsensical rant.
(She has, since last night, restricted her diary to friends only)

She is just one of those millions in our country who sometimes, like us, curse and want to see the illegal Indonesians or the dog eating Vietnamese chased out of our neighbourhood every time a crime is being committed by one of their kind.
Never mind that there are Indo-Malaysians among our midst.

Not that it is right to stereotype community but when such references are made in the confines of distress, we, as a people, must know how to forgive.

So let those who have never uttered any bigotry in their lives before start casting the first stone.

I hear "indian" speaking of "stinking sadayans" all the time - you wanna go after all of them?
In fact they could do a lot to set a good example by not resorting to cheap publicity like this! By going after some obscure blogger like this, you're simply fueling the racist sentiments that you seem to live and breathe on!
Have you tried to approach her? I bet not ...

Whatever said and done, there is an element of truth in her comments - many underprivileged and neglected of a certain sector of the "indian" have resorted to these activities (under the "guidance & leadership" of the a certain toupee-wearing politician/"thalaivar"). This has definitely given the "indian" community a bad name ......
That, I can vouch for - I've experienced it to a certain extent in my line of work.
These "indians" she speaks of, belong to the category that has very poor control over their minds/ emotional states - they definitely are quite common among the "indians" she speaks of.
To all you worked up "indians" - admit the truth in this!

Despite being "indian" myself, I'm tempted to say some of the things she says!
To the Idiots out there,
"Don't freakin' come after me for belittling "indians", you shitheads!
I'm more Indian than most of you guys - I've lived in India almost half my life, and I know more about my heritage than most you guys! The India I know doesn't show in the least bit in these kind of idiotic behaviour!!

I still can't believe why there are so many people trying to justify Sammy's remarks. OK, she is young and yes, she is angry at the time and naive. These do not give her the right to curse another race.

Well, now i'm gonna try to justify Ahmad Ismail's racist remarks.
Ahmad Ismail panicked when the support seemed to be swaying towards DSAI.
His party is going to lose a very important by-election.
Yes, he is a politician and he is a matured man.
However, he grew up in an environment where everyone told him the Chinese are just squatters.
He probably attended those brainwashing sessions by Biro Tata Negara (BTN).
It is the system that is producing people like Ahmad Ismail.
No one is born racist. So, please forgive and ignore him.

For those of you (seemed) defending her, will you accept the above and be more lenient on Ahmad Ismail?

Again, a blog is not similar to a diary and it is not personal. The content in your blog is like a huge banner in front of your house which can be viewed by the public. Now that Sammy has restricted her blog, it becomes personal and she can curse anyone or any race.

Cruzeiro: Your words already contain the answer - I'm outspoken BECAUSE what I said of Sammy is true. Those who'd been here in M-T during its first year or so know that I'm basically a Kantian - rights and wrongs must be placed within a universal perspective. If it's wrong for person A to generalize on community B, then it's wrong to do the same thing on community C or on any other community in the world. Some readers have, rightly, brought up the case of Ahmad Ismail - if he's wrong in what he said about the Chinese, then Sammy is also wrong in what she wrote about Indians. So if we condemn Ahmad, we must also condemn Sammy. Now I do allow for degrees of wrongdoing, which is why I said we could forgive the young Sammy (though not forget), an allowance that cannot be given to a matured person like Ahmad Ismail.

Reprimanding Sammy does not invalidate the crimes of BN or the racist environment that has been imposed on this country for over 50 years. Also, while it's true that many people are racists, that fact cannot excuse racism. So to people like Sammy, a harsh reprimand is needed. To those with the POWER to enforce racist acts (which is the textbook definition of racism), my reaction would be much more extreme: I would work with fellow Malaysians to put such a regime out of circulation.

I dare say that in the privacy of our minds, we often silently think the way Sammy does. In the quiet of our homes and cars, we all teach our children to be careful of certain races because of this weakness or that weakness.

Please understand that I don't support the way Sammy (allegedly) made those remarks. But look around you. Can we really say honestly that we DON'T understand why Sammy wrote the things she wrote? Indians have long had their own peculiarities, and so have the other races.

Perhaps Sammy is the product of continuous teaching from her parents and peers.

Perhaps her views and feelings are a genuine product of real experience with Indians.

Perhaps she was pushed to hatred by circumstances that we cannot fully understand.

Perhaps by fate, she never had the opportunity to know the many gentle, peaceful and lovely Indians that we have.

Perhaps she is the product of 51 years of racial polarization.

Perhaps she is the product of a segregated education system.

I must be honest. With all that's happening these days I even find myself continuously battling a feeling of bigotry and prejudice and yes - racist hatred. Can you really say that you don't?

Maybe the only difference between Sammy and me (us) is that time pushed her first over the edge of racism. We should be careful not to judge lest we find ourselves also unwittingly falling into the dark side.

The choice of vernacular schools should be eliminated as in Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia etc. We should however make mother tongue as a compulsory subject with the other subjects being in one common language.

It looks like the “racism” chicken in blogosphere is coming home to roost. For too long the champions of the absolute freedom of speech have been justifying racist commentary under this right.

As a result, blogosphere, an incredibly useful avenue for dissenting views and a platform for educating ourselves with reliable news and analysis has been turned into another variant of the mainstream media. The only difference being one is polluted with propaganda to buttress the establishment while the other has allowed itself to be polluted with incendiary racist commentary, both ends up buttressing the status quo.

Sammy Chan is simply the product of this perversion that now dominates blogosphere in which contributions from racists has been deemed the norm. What gives us the moral right to criticize the racism of the establishment when we do not speak from an anti-racist perspective ourselves?

True, one cannot fight racism with racism - such a tactic will only strengthen and perpetuate racism. And, in the end, there'll be nothing to distinguish us from the enemy we despise.

Her rantings are the sum total of her personal experience. She must have had an Indian boyfriend who is all of those things she said. Grow up girl and stop blogging as you obviously do not know what you are doing.

Always and Better to keep nasty experiences to yourself only.

(a)Many bloggers are known to be clumsy with their words..

(b)..These common blunders inevitably spread out and adversely affect people around them.

To avoid 'clash of paradigm shift' please activate "This blog is open to invited readers only".

Be angry, but do not sin.
Blessed your enemy, do not curse them.
If they are hungry, feed them.
It they are thirsty, give them a drink.

Did you noticed most bloggers totally ignored the "hand-phone thieves" ?

My salute to all Peacemakers
