One thing that unite us the most is our food, yes you heard me our FOOD! If you walk into a chinese kopitiam you will see Indian and Chinese having their meals together, either sharing a conversations with one another. You could also see the famous Mee Goreng in Bangkok lane, is housed in a chinese kopitiam serving all sorts of food ranging from hokkien mee to nasi kandar. Malay, Chinese, Indian family would purposely go there enjoying plates of mee goreng. Even the famous Nasi Kandar in penang is enjoyed by all walks of live. Not to forget a favourite eating spot of mine and most night owls out there, is Abu mamak stall near Penang road, ah.. that is one of the best place to be with colleagues from work or mates from the near by colleges it practically a place where regardless of race your able to enjoy the meals served there. There is a Chinese Muslim Restaurant in Bayan Baru, that serves Chinese style food made halal to cater to our Muslim friends. Look at Delivereat and you will notice that we try to cater to all races, to us everyone is equal regardless of skin colour. As long as you have internet you can just make your order online!
Remembering your origins is import as well but we shouldn't feed the seed of hatred to those around us, our children, family and to other races around us.- anonymous
Sometimes we take this simple things for granted. If you talk to an Indian uncle, some of them can speak very fluent Hokkien, and there are some Chinese Uncles who could even speak very fluent Tamil. While there are some Malay uncles which is able to speak both Tamil and Chinese, while all three of them uses the bahasa Malaysia as a medium of communication even though they come from different backgrounds! The best way to sum it up is "if you cut your hand wont you bleed, if I cut mine wont i bleed as well?" We are humans regardless of skin colour or background! So let us unite because we can make a difference for our country! WE are Malaysians!
