Don’t question or criticise the Malaysian Chinese cultural right to use chopsticks for meals

DESPITE being in his 90s, and having witnessed life during colonisation, Japanese Occupation, post-Merdeka and the modernisation of Malaysia, it is disappointing that Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammad has not moved away from his narrow and racist mindset – values which have no place in Malaysia’s multicultural society.

Despite the full awareness of Malaysia’s multiracial composition and having served as our nation’s premier twice, Dr Mahathir remains besotted with inciting differences in the rakyat’s ethnic culture, language, and lifestyle as his political capital. How ironic and contradictory from a disposition expected from Malaysia’s most senior political figure.
