"Chinese are the immigrant, squatters"
I can't believe I am still hearing such a low mentality statements being made.
Despite being independent for more than half a decade, the fundamental mentality is still stopping at British colonial times. As a Malaysian Chinese, we had rooted here for such a long time that we have little or no memory that we originates from China. I am born as a 'Malaysian'.I do not have a place in China for me. My mainland is here, Malaysia.
Despite all the moves to recognize every entity as 'Malaysian', there are people who still can't get over the overwhelming feeling of their own race being the greater one. Understandable. When we are equal, lost are the special privileges, unfairness, and foul play. Having a divided race entity is important in this context.
We may be independent at the outside, but inside, there is still a long way to go.
