There are many various speculations on the whirlwind visit of MM
Lee to Malaysia, but it only takes critical analysis to figure out
what may the reason be, reading behind the lines.
MM Lee is only a consultant to the cabinet. He alone makes no
decision, so whatever he says, holds no more water than a housewife
commenting on the price of milk in Giant, Johor.
But what he says will definately be more meaningful than a
housewife for sure, for it will impact the lives of millions.
Malaysia currently is suffering a crisis of identity - the
equality of ethnic group, a greviance that is yet to be resolve by
ALL political parties there.
The Malaysian ethnic groups would be consoled by MM Lee's visit,
that equality can be achieved in Malaysia, as it did for Singapore,
but it took our forefathers and us, 44 sincere years to extend the
hand of friendship, consideration, and responsibility to each
fellow citizen. We, too, still have much more to improve despite
our advances.
The Malaysian ethnic groups must realize this, and within this
patient but realistic view, they too, will be able to achieve what
we did, and not with pitchforks as some rabble rousers sought to
do, but with patience, logic and reason.
In the end, we can only offer what we know, it is still up to
the ethnic groups there to consider and determine their own fate.
We do not interfere, but only seek better economic cooperation,
such that will elevate lives of both Malaysian and Singaporeans,
whatever the races.
PM Najib, his cabinet as well as the various political groups
who seek peaceful means for equality should look forward more to MM
Lee's visit, the sharing of his wisdom that is represented by the
hardwork of our forefathers in building up our equal society
republic.
