Mandela's Long Walk to Freedom & Us?

At last, I saw something useful on CNN.

The channel was showing live from London a ceremony which unveiled the Statue of Nelson Mandela at parliament square facing the house of parliament.

It was rather ironic, considering that it was his joke in his youth days, wanting to see a black man statue over there, next to a Boer's war figure.

Thumbs up to the mayor of London and co, double thumbs up to those who revealed the sad spectacle of the South Africa in the early years for all the world to see, and fought so the reality be changed. May us never forget the immense disaster of racism and apartheid.

As we approach our 50th Merdeka celebration, let us ponder over the current situation in Malaysia. Do we give preferential treatment to one and not the other? Do we treat everyone in the country equally? Is there anything similar to 'second-class citizen' in the beloved country?

Well, look into ourselves, and see where we stand in those issues. Let's work towards a Fair and Just country.

Malaysia, Cemerlang, Gemilang, Terbilang...
