Calling all non-racists to come together

So well said, Shirina Rashid in Malaysiakini at http://www.malaysiakini.com/letters/90065 in her respond to racists statements by Ahmad Ismail. It is people like Shirina and the many others out there that give hope to this world plagued by evil people.

I know of many good people around but as usual, good people are also gentler and choose the peaceful way of not making a fuss even though they are hurt. The racists on the other hand will choose to rear their ugly head and as be as loud as possible so that everyone can hear them. Maybe, it is time for the good people to stand up and be counted.

We, non-racists must do something to start bring all races together in harmony. We need a good leader (doesn't have to be a political leader) to organise and start the ball rolling. I suggest that the leader organise and event asking all Malaysians to invite a friend or family of a different race to a specially organised friendship function. Do this now to start showing our solidarity and make it a frequent even.

Another thing we can start doing is maybe to keep in touch by emails or by some social networking sites to start bonding and be true friends. We must start somewhere and soon.

However, remember this is only to start the ball rolling but there must be other measures like the education policies I have mentioned in earlier blogs for long term harmony.
