Kit on the Sun - Looking back to look ahead

Looking back to look ahead - this is the title of an interview by The Sun with Parliamentary Opposition Leader, YB Lim Kit Siang published on the 23rd August 2007.

Among others, Kit Siang thinks that it’s a very mixed result after the country is coming up to 50 years.

"I think when we achieved independence 50 years ago and then with Sabah and Sarawak we formed the Malaysian federation, we all had one aspiration – that we would become more Malaysian over the years.

"Which means we would become less Malay, less Chinese, less Indian, less Kadazan and less Iban and so on, but on the 50th year looking around, especially with the events in the last two months, we seem to have become less Malaysian and more Malay, more Chinese, more Indian, more Kadazan and more Iban than anything else."

By the way, Sdr Jeff Ooi blogged on it too. So did Kit.
