The Pig Issue



To those who live in Malaysia will have certainly heard of the latest pig issue. The Selangor's government would like to build a pig farm in Ladang Tumbuk, and it is expected in a country where Islam takes the majority, there would be protest over this issue. There are two groups, one who supports and one who opposes. The one who opposes are the ones who are insecure with their "malay status"

As you can see the banner states that "the land of the Malay's are traded for pigs"

I read "To Kill A Mockingbird" and I hate segregation and double standard. And I would like to remind the Malays that this is not their land only. We got our independence through unity and I can feel the unity dispersing.

BN lost this general election because the other races are scared of losing their place in this country, everyone is trying to get PR in other countries and stay there because they think it is only a matter of time before they lose their place in this society. Malaysia is facing brain drain because of this.

My suggestion to fix the brain drain, let us see that there is a place for other races other than Malays in this country.
