Dear Weng San,

Thank you or posting these *facts* for our benefit. We need to be reminded that the struggle for a Malaysian Malaysia is far from over. At the end of the day, these issues MATTER and we must not be browbeaten or made to feel guilty by raising them. After all these facts are grounded in one singular all-encompassing fact: institutionalised racism which system was put in place by UMNO.
