Lately there has been a lot of talk on race relations in Malaysia. Most, if not all, highlighted in the media are quite negative. I don't want to comment on what is highlighted, rather I'd like to share what I saw on Wednesday.
I took the LRT to attend a meeting at Medan MARA in the heart of the city. Why I didn't drive to the meeting is another story.
Anyway, as I was walking from Medan MARA to the Bandaraya LRT Station, I passed by a blind man walking on the pedestrian walkway. What is interesting is that, this blind man - a Malay - being escorted by a young Chinese guy. This Chinese guy looked a lot like one of those Taiwan singers, wearing a sleeveless shirt, dyed hair and sporting an ear-ring. Not someone you'd expect to hold the arm of a blind man.
But as in many instances, appearances can be deceiving and stereotypes are often far from the truth.
If what I saw, albeit probably one case in a thousand, is any indication, that I'd say the future for Malaysia is bright after all...
Insya-Allah.
