Unacceptable and un-Australian behaviour


TO all Malaysians, I want to reach out across the seas and ensure that you heard directly from a member of the Australian government. I was horrified to hear about the racist attack on a student from Malaysia this month (“Singaporean student and friend hurt in racist attack in Melbourne”, The Star, April 16; online at bit.ly/attack_

student). It is awful to hear of anyone being attacked by strangers on the street simply because of their race and ethnicity.
