Regarding MM Lee's comments about muslims/malays being distinct and separate, i would like to disagree. why i'm writing this? i dont know why, i guess its cuz i've always had malay friends at every point of my life and i've always enjoyed their company. in fact, my most greatest friends are malay or malay mixed. primary school, sec sch, poly. these are the only people who are friendly to you no matter what. ok maybe its just my own experiences, maybe others out there don't have good experiences. and to me, they aren't stuck up as most chinese people are. food wise, i guess i already like spicy stuff since young, so its easy for me to integrate with them. and i respect them in a way that if i wanted to choose to eat chinese food, i wont order stuff like pork and sit next to them. even if i do order, my friends etc suraya won't mind as long as i dont spill it over. thus saying, MM lee's comments are quite far from what our generation is experiencing.
