I refer to Shahrizad Akashah's letter and was very sad that a thoughtful and such a 'learned' person could not see the despair and frustration of non-Malays.

Either she meant to whitewash what is happening or deliberately believed that this has to be the way of life that has to be accepted by the non-Malays.

Look around you, Shahrizad. Look around with your mind and soul. Perhaps you would see how institutionalised racism has drained people like me of the love and patriotism towards this country.

You will be able to see that it is we who should cry foul of the deprivation of the dignity and respect - for one, and only one reason - we are born non-Malays.

We have enough of that hurt, so please don't try to justify your slanted view - that does not make a wrong right.
