Big Fuss Over Race Again

I am indeed baffled that once again Malaysians are still divided over the skin colour issue. We were reminded once again at how racial issues are such a big thing in Malaysia and not economic issues. I wonder where are the priorities of Malaysians these days.

Do we have a Prime Minister who is a Malay? If that is not enough, what is the problem of having a non-Malay Malaysian as the acting GM of PKNS? Is Selangor only consists of Malays in the State? I wonder what happen to the other races? If this is not racial discrimination, then I don't know what is.

Maybe PKNS staff should need a reminder that this corporation is set up to develop the state of Selangor to look after the interest of all Malaysians living in the State, irrespective of their race.

To say that Loh Siew Moi cannot have rapport with the staff seems to be preposterous, as even the Menteri Besar has stated that she is the right person for the job. Are we saying that it's perfectly alright to overlook one's capabilities based on their skin colour?
If that being the case, then Bangsa Malaysia is merely a fantasy. I wonder what is the point of having a Race Relations Act, if this controversy were to go on.
