I had a conversation with a psychologist (Don't get me wrong, I ain't psycho!) not long when I carpooled her car to MRT station after a meeting. She asked,
As a Chinese living in Malaysia, do you feel discriminated at times?And here's what I replied,
Politically - yes; individually - not really.Undeniably, Chinese and Indian are officially discriminated in many aspects (such as NEP) but we're still living harmoniously together as individuals. I went to visit my fellow Malay and Indian friends' houses during their Hari Raya and Deepavali; and they visited us during Chinese New Year - and that is beautiful. Don't you think so? Malaysia is unique, peaceful (still) and lovely (still).
*Peace sign to all beautiful Malaysians*
