I am one from a family of various heritage, way back then until now. Mix marriage is not uncommon in Malaysia or anywhere in the world.
I'd like to understand the mumble jumble in the fights and arguments. But having raised in the way my family is, I can't understand why there seems to be hatred in the air based on what we believe in. Why are we sensitive and rebel especially when it involves heritage and belief?
To feel Malaysian and celebrate it, why don't we ignore the labels. We would be able to discuss anything and look at the issues (raised by some people) in the wider sense.
Put yourselves in the shoes of people like me, for example, with a family of many races and beliefs. Even when we like someone, look at the quality in the person. I've found many good people by doing that. And there are many good people in this world.
The answers that the person puts in the forms don't matter. I believe everyone can see it that way.

I think labels will always be there because it appeals to the small minded individuals we have in our country. People only see black and white, and so the rest tries to paint in that picture. But slowly people are beginning to see shades of gray.
