I was born in Malaysia in 1960 and have stayed, studied and worked here all my life. I am a Malaysian citizen by law - this constitutional right is not given by any living or non-living politician, academician or racist bigot.
Since Malaysia achieved independence in 1957, those born in Malaysia and naturalised citizens of all races have played a part in the economic development of this country. The nation’s rapid industrialisation was due to the hard work of responsible politicians, gung-ho entrepreneurs and diligent citizens who just wanted to build a better life for their families.
