In reference to the Malaysiakini article titled, "May 13 and national reconciliation", how do we reconcile and forgive when we are not sure who to forgive in the first place.

I have gone beyond demanding the heads of those involved, as the years have dimmed the pain. Yet to have closure, all I want is:

  • The real truth

  • The players behind the incident and their reason

  • Their place in history be firmly placed, whether it is on high or in the dustbin

  • Closure so that we can try to find the remains of those missing in action, where their graves are

Policies that are discriminatory in the aftermath of the May 13 racial riots be completely erased.

Then we can move forward.

In all these, I stressed no punishment - it is time to move beyond that.
