I agree and believe what Tun M said is the truth, unless the Racist and the Religious Extremist in Malaysia is wiped out.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad believes there will never be a true Malaysian.
The former prime minister reasoned that this was because the people continued to hang on to their own identity, culture and language even after close to 57 years of independence.
Such obstacles would not only hinder unity but also block the government's efforts to create a new Malaysian race, he said, adding that the situation was different in Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand.
"There, the people of various races, languages and cultures accepted one identity for the sake of the nation and their future.
"We in Malaysia agreed that each would retain their identity. It was agreed upon under the social contract at that time (1957).
"Nevertheless, we retained the identity of the original country. Because of that, we don’t want to change… there will never be a true Malaysian," said Dr Mahathir.
He said this today during a press conference at an event organised by the Youth Academy at the Perdana Leadership Foundation in Putrajaya.
More than 150 youths and undergraduates from various institutes of higher learning, as well as non-governmental organisations, attended the discussion.
He said the national education curriculum should also emphasise the development of a noble personality and not just focus on knowledge, so as to create a credible generation.
"We give our young all types of knowledge but we do not develop their personalities. This could result in the knowledge being misused." – Bernama, August 16, 2014.
