It is indeed puzzling to me that every time I read a comment regarding DAP, it is always accused of practising racial politics. But the same is not mentioned about the politics of Umno, MIC or MCA for that matter. Neither is it mentioned of the existence of schools or colleges meant only for a particular race.

The fingers, instead, are quick to point to the private sector where businesses and colleges are biased or concentrated towards a particular minority race. These are all symptoms of an unhealthy trend in our Malaysian society. The majority is pointing the finger at the minority for the very sin it is blatantly committing without shame or remorse.

The fact is the majority has a role to play in a civil society. Its biggest role is to lead the minority by example and not to discriminate when unity is called for the good of the country. Instead, we have politicians driven to please the masses by waving a kris and calling others 'pendatang' even though many of these latter are not.

Every policy that has been designed and implemented is meant by and large to please the majority. 'Social contract, remember?', that's what the minority is always reminded of. Fine then. What then do the majority expect of the minority? Smile? When after all the hard work their children have put in, they are denied the places they so dearly wish to have in a public university?

Ours is a 'positive discrimination' for the good of all, they say. But DAP? 'Oh, they are a chauvinist party that only caters for only the interest of one particular race. They are racist. They never take care of other races.'

My question then is: If the majority are only interested in their 'ugama, bangsa dan negara' then kindly enlighten me as to whom the minority should turn to?
