DREAMmmmm.....

Doesn't look like your dream of Bangsa Malaysia will come true in our lifetime. Look at our Thai & Indonesian neighbours who so proudly speak ONE LANGUAGE (their names don't reflect their ancestry)! In Penang, you get many Chinese who are die-hards when it comes to speaking BM - what is there to be so proud about not being able to understand or
speak BM? Does learning the language make you any less Chinese? Hey, the Malays are sending their children to Chinese schools!! It is such a shame when we are part of this MELTING POT but we are not harvesting the benefits. On the other hand, we are guilty of saying (at one time or another)"orang kita" not like that one lah. My friend, many Malaysians are living under the proverbial tempurung although they claim to be new-age, in-the-know & ultra-modern. What happened to the simple values enforced by our fathers & their fathers when it comes to respecting other races & always taking their sensitivities into consideration. Only a shadow remains!
**I have dreams in "English" only....wonder when I will dream in Bahasa Malaysia!!**

Thats how KTT feels about it all. Well at least there are 3 of us here who shares the same dream and hoping for it to come true. As twotoner says the Malaysian dream needs some effort and time which I disagree, it should be a lot of effort and a lot of time spent to nurture all this values back into our daily lives. Just like the old days, just like the time of yesteryears, the retro years.

All those camaraderie are lost. The leaders kept it in their pants like what twotoner mentioned and just never took it out. They will touch on the subject when their audience are of mixed ethnic. When they're with "their people" they will always say "orang kita".

These has got to stop. Where in heavens name are we able to find these type of leaders now? The first guy to championed this was the guy who created UMNO. Hisham's granddad. But when he wants to open the party to all, they throw him out. Dato' Onn was his name.

You people out there, the 60's era kids, let us for just a moment close our eyes and think of a friend during our school days, who is of a different race. Just think of all the beautiful/crazy moments that you guys went through...

Lets start our dream of Bangsa Malaysia by trying to find that guy and continue where you guys left... Its gonna be beautiful...I bet you... I've done it...
