I think it's a pretty fair sentence for him. Immersion in the
Malay community may help him get over his misplaced animosity for
Malays in general.
I can understand the amount of rage he felt at that particular
Malay couple who indirectly led to the death of his younger
brother, but I cannot accept his animosity for the Malay race
because of that. I cannot truly say that I understand his emotions,
but to harbour a hatred for an entire people just because of a
couple of people is highly unacceptable, and, as I had said,
misplaced.
I'm not excusing what that couple did - if their identity does ever
get found out, I hope they'll spend time behind bars for what they
did.
But consider this: if the couple had been Chinese, will he harbour
an animosity for his own race because of that? Will he hate himself
for being Chinese? I'm inclined to believe that's not the case.
