After reading the enrty from a mutual friend's blog.
I decided to post some excerpts and add up on my own honest comments to it.
Trully I really like what he have to say.

If your race ascended up the social ladder,wouldn't you be proud of them and try to aid in their conquest of hiatus?Or would you drag them back down into the dark nether regions and bury them there?

I really admire my Malay friends for the fact that they display true brotherly and sisterly love towards each other with their shaking and kissing of each other's hands.I have never seen this among Indians.No..Rarely.Almost never.

Read more of Alvin's thoughts here.

I trully belive that that all races have had thier fair share of delinquents problems. But as what SM Goh have said,"This is not a racial problem, but a national issue, we have to go through this together and not just let thier self-help groups tackle the problems."

Surely You would have come across the typical thoughts of that Malay youths are lazy, Chinese youths are opportunist, Indian youths are arrogant and proud youths that would proudly proclaimed that they're Eurasian even if they have only a fair tinge of European blood.

Anyway youths are our future.
They are our tomorows'.
Many youth have excelled beyond thoughts,
even though presently overshadowed with high statistics of teenage pregnancy and young couples getting divorced.
If not academically,
there's sports and arts, much to the fancy of malay youth and thier soccer...

Yeah its true that we, Malay youth have no objections in displaying our brotherly or sisterly love. The fact that we are teach to greet and extend our arms to whoever we meet from young. I myself have extended this practise even to friends of other races, it seems an obligation.

Try observing the malay youths,
The hugs, kisses and cheek to cheek practise of the girls,
and the shaking of hands and frequent mutual hugs of the boys.
This does not only show on malay youth of higher state of mind or recently branded the "new malay".
Even youth that some proclaimed as mats or minahs or street dwellers have thier fair share of brothers or sisters stat quo.

Check out the hand shake of snapping each others thumb before releasing them.

There are criteria of mats and minahs in all of us.
We're Malay and we will always be...
Your proclaimation of street dwellers or mat tappered to this unique youth would only tracends hatred towards each other in the community and degrade them.
C'mon we are one.
We gotta go through this together.
