Mr. Bean,
“What is history?”
We are all merely bastards with nametags who know not who we really are – which comes first; the chicken or the egg ? Until we have a conclusive answer to that question , we will not be able to establish where our ancestors come from ! Some believe we come from the dust, some believe we come from apes but where did the apes come from – a single atom ,an accident, the result of a galactic catalystical boom ? Or some would like to think that we are created by a divine power or even a UFO !
And as long as we remain mere bastards with nametags not knowing who we really are, we will continue to kill each other because we will not be able to relate with each other as human beings in a unified manner, to really appreciate that we all indeed one human race !!!

Yes, I can’t help but to add, that the destruction of humans amongst humans are worst off than animals. People fight and killed for all sorts of reasons, I was sharing with a blogger mate recently about the genocide ‘ethnically-based hatred’ caused by a backlash of oppression against the Tutsi by the Hutu in Rwanda that saw 100,000 lives wasted back in 1972. Imagine this, Both Tutsis and Hutus shares the same language, skin color almost identical. The only differences between these two groups were clasified for censuses purpose by Germans and later by Belgium before WW1.( Of course genetics studies were conducted to find out the difference between these 2 groups plus other cultural differences )

The point is these, after finding out who or what belongs to which groups, whose minority or majority, so what? The country will still have to feed EVERYONE!!, regardless Hutus or Tutsis. There are plenty of history we can share. Whenever groups of people felt they are being oppress, things will get out of hand.We must lived above ethnicity, its for identity sake, thats all.Other than this, everyone must be given a fair playfield with no special assistance unless medically proven to be handicapped. As true Bangsa Rakyat, all Malaysian, regardless of races must assist another rakyat whenever its needed provided religion must remain ‘personal’ and Let God be God, not humans playing God. (susah already, ya?)
Well, just my 2 sens thought. Din, you got it right. We all stand together in this small island we called Home. Its a long long narrow road, thats less traveled, but one with many hopes of a brighter Malaysia.

Talking abour vigils and ‘men in tights’, I think you guys should adopt the Maori dance when protesting against the ISA. It would make good photo shoots for the international press! Make sure Din Merican leads the group!

On second thoughts it would not be a good idea for Din Merican to lead

Does it matter who came when and from where?? They say it was Vespucci who discovered America. Some said it was the Vikings who landed in Newfoundland but never started any permanent settlement unlike those who fled religious persecution in Europe later who put down their roots in a settlement named later as Jamestown? But weren’t there not native Americans before they arrived – and yet where are they today if not mostly confined to their so-called Indian reservations.

The fact is we are here. What are we gonna do about it?

Mr. Bean, V-pucci, my friend. Don’t ideas, jong. He could be Italian, I think. What about Admiral Cheng-Ho (1486?)—Din Merican
