00:00Elections are good, especially for the Indians and Chinese Malaysians.
00:05That is when promises and pledges made long ago finally materialize into real benefits.
00:13But we have to wait for elections. For instance, the Tamil schools get teachers after years of
00:20appeals. Why? Is this the way we should do it? For a community that was displaced
00:27by the development in Bukit Kiara for more than 44 years, finally they see a permanent home.
00:35I'm not complaining. Yes, it's good. Finally it happened. But I'm saying how many elections they
00:41have been waiting for. Unfortunately, elections also bring the same old script where we hear race
00:50and religion that all the time divides Malaysians. So this racial hate and religious provocation
00:58must be punished consistently regardless of which political party or which race you belong to.
01:06Because this is a really divisive factor today with the social media. Why? Why is this a practice?
01:14And who is going to stop it? I see the politicians exploiting fear because it wins votes for them
01:23or even faster than solving the issues that we have in Malaysia. For instance, the temples has become
01:30a campaign trophies. For more on why I believe Malaysia deserves leaders who prioritize service over
01:37votes. Read my opinion piece. Malaysia has a recurring amnesia on race on FMT.
