We had just celebrated our country 52th independence day since our country free from the british colony power in 1957.Somehow,we as malaysian been shocked with ugly incidents with should not happened in our multiracial society.Just before our country celebrated 52th independence day, 3 before,we been shocked with Cow incidents.On 28th august 2009,a group 50 section 23 residents (alleged by the UMNOputras member) after Friday prayer,marched from the state Mosque to the state sectariat at 300m away to protes the relocation of the Hindu Temple.
In the process,the severed head of a cow was produced and some overzealous protestors stepped on it.It was recorded by the Malaysiakini for all to see.To me as Malaysian people,this is very outrageous behaviour that should be not happened in our society.Instead of sending the Cow head as the sign protesters,the resident themselves should ues the proper channel to voice their grouse and concern.It is really disgusting and yet another sign shows that the element racist still existed in our society despite we been urged to promote peace and unity among the malaysian people.To me,this is should not happened. and the most shocking is that this cow are sacred animal to the Hindu people.I want ask question to them ,do you what are you doing?Have your religion ever teach you on how to respect the other people or races?Do you know that we live in peace in multiracial society and we should not offend the sensitivity of the other races?
As a Malaysian non Muslim,despite i am non muslims,i always believe that the Islam religion teach the muslim people to respect the other people belief and their sensitivity.To all Hindu people,i urged them to be sensibel and patients in this ugly episode.
As malaysian,i totally against of this violent behaviour that should not been happened.We should respect the belief and sensitivity of the other people.After all,we are malaysian that live in peace and unity and we are lucky for having the diversity culture that we should defend of it.Such incident that happened previous weeks ago are remind us that we as the mutiracial society still struglling to overcome the racissm issue as well as the racial polarisation that still rampant in our society today.To me,This prostester shoud be charged under Sedition Act for inciting the religious violence in Malaysia.For whatever reason ,do not use the sensitivity of the other races to voice the concern.Instead use the proper channel to voice the concern or grouse to the higher authorities.
For year and years,we have teach and though to promote the peace and unity among the multiracial society.As young people,we should thankfull to the God Almighty for we live in peace and unity and blessed with beautifull nation.
Let us remind ourselves that the Cow incidents shuold not happened in our society.Take it as lessons to us for promoting peace and unity among the malaysian people regardless of their respective races and religion.Let pray that the ugly episode should not happened again in the future.
Thank you.
