Lishun: You mean a generation of leaders with enough courage. :P A change like this will no doubt affect their popularity among certain groups, and this may result in them losing the following election and hence, their job.

It's a step, but probably not one that's big enough. hear hear yp. when dealing with a majority of people who think that there’s one way to approach the matter (they’re not from here, they’re not going to go far), it’s better to work from the bottom up rather than by mere legislation.

"law as an educator".. "brown v. board of education".. blah blah... Well, I see a change in policy as a first step that should be taken.. which we hope that in turn will change people's mindset and the way things are done. Without this first step towards change, we can never hope for one, now or in the future.

When the system is so ingrained into the masses, so much so that it still hops on regardless, it'll take a complete and utter collapse of that system for Malaysia to change. Until then, like a lot of people studying abroad...we're going to be taking our chances out here first. But whether things can change, that’s a different story altogether.

But the bit which worries me (as u said) is that if my opportunities are going to be lessened because of the colour of my skin, i don't see much of a point in serving a government which thinks so. Until things change, i see no reason to come back. I want to serve my people, but I can't leave the 'i' out of that sentence, if you get what i mean. something tells me that i can live with less pay.
