If there is anything that can really be considered anathema in this world, it is the practice of racism, and having stated this fact, it is also of paramount importance to understand that racism is actually practised by those who are sub-human.

This is the actual crux of racism. Only a person who is depraved, unenlightened and filled with morbid evil would subscribe to racism and exhort racist slurs and hate speeches against other races.

This is why Malaysians must always be vigilant and watchful of politicians who are race baiters and play the race card in thinking that they can further the agenda and well being of their race at the expense of other races.

Malaysians must learn to nip in the bud the issue of being racist and the practice of racism as, in this country, race and religion are ever so delicately balanced as this is a multi-racial, multi-religious and multi-cultural society.

Being a plural society, it is important to understand and expect every individual in this free state to behave in a right and proper manner and not to subscribe to racism and rock the foundations of equality upon which this country has been built.

Ensure forever in this country of ours Malaysia there is not even the reeking and presence of racism and to ensure there is peace and harmony among the people in this land to be a shining example of unity in diversity to the watching world.
