So much has happened but only now are we talking about it. I am a 40-year-old Indian. I remember when we were in school, all the three races were treated equally and we were friends.

I had Malay and Chinese friends coming to my house. We used to sleep in one tent when we went camping. We are still close - my Malay brothers and Chinese brothers still show so much love to me and my family. What we have to understand is this will be the last generation like that because we were brought up that way. The next generation will all be enemies because they have been brought up differently.

My eldest daughter who is in Standard One (seven years old) came back from school one day crying. She said her classmate, another seven-year-old, calls her keling! Imagine how this boy can saying that at this age! It is the elders who have put it in his mind.

To Nazri Abdul Aziz and Khairy Jamaluddin, it is not right for you to push us down like that. Words are easily used against us but you forget that at one time it was us who tapped the rubber, built the roads, laid JKR cables, worked on the palm oil estates, laid the railway and fought in the British army and Malayan army for freedom and against the communists.

You forget that most of your teachers were Indians and Chinese, most of the doctors who treated you when you were a child were Indians and Chinese, the police who guarded your safety was also an Indian, the hospital, JKR, railways, JPJ, police, immigration and customs have all seen Indians serving.

There will be so many things for us to say but it's whether you all have any humanitarian feelings left in you to accept it or not. We are a generation of Indians born in Malaysia. Why we can't enjoy the soil like how you all are enjoying it? Are you a real Malay Malaysian? Look back, most of you are a mix of Indonesian, Arab and so on. The real Malaysian, the Orang Asli, is still down the drains. Soon they will get up like the Indians and when there is a riot, all Malaysians are going to suffer.

We want to live happily. If there are racial problems, tourists, foreign investors and all will go. Can you imagine the country then? Why can't you understand today's wealth and freedom is something we Indians fought for along with you and the Chinese? We contribute to the country and now, instead of progressing we are being suppressed.

I don't think the MIC has any control over the situation anymore. Please look into our problems. I hope you both, who are the future premiers of this country, will do something. I love Malaysia and the people. Let's try to do something to save this country from destruction. Thank you for at least reading this.
