Peaceful May 13th
As expected, nothing happened in May 13th. Malaysia is full of people borned after 13 May 1969. Many have no recollection of what happened during that time. As a matter of fact, only certain area is hit with racial clash. So its not really a national crisis as being publicized. Everyone hope that the ghost of 13th May will be forever exorcised. Maybe we should denote today as Unity Day (Hari Perpaduan). There's no more suitable date than this one. Instead of running away, we should face it head on. That way, we can move forward. Of course, our leader also must be more Malaysian instead of just helping certain race. Instead, all Malaysian irregardless of race must be treated equally. Hopefully the day is not too far. I remember that it was just a silly dream before March 8th, 2008. But after the watershed election, it has become some sort like Martin Luther's dream which has high possibility to become true.
By the way, guess who is our equivalent political leader of the left and right side of the comic above?
