Can Malaysians rise above Religious bigotry?

Dear PM again,
I am glad to highlight the letter written by my brother, Cowhead Protest a dastardly Act in which he has echoed my views on the matter, but which, he being the widely read one, has illustrated the despicable act by describing the bloody horse heads used by the Mafia to threaten their 'enemies'. We understand from many political blogs in the Internet, that there are 'godfathers' in UMNO too, but is 1Malaysia going to be sabotaged by these guys for their myopic interests? Or, I repeat, is the Government signaling its "intent" to win back the next elections at all costs? I think this time the rakyat is not stupid, and they will know sincerity and humility when the see them. Unless Dato PM wants to rule over a country filled with chaos and mediocrity... I will be dead by then, but my heart bleeds for our children...


Trying to see this episode objectively, and reading a random sample of the 100+ comments arising, I can see that the vast majority of the rakyat IRREGARDLESS OF RACE OR RELIGION ABHOR the cowhead incident, and the troublemakers at the dialogue called by the PR Govt. Vocal discontent, dissent and despair at temple talks Can the Federal Govt see beyond narrow political lines, and parochial localised politics, and realise that we the citizens REALLY want to have peace and harmony hinged on mutual respect? If the police AND the Home ministry have been reluctant to act against those hooligans because they are Muslims, they will know that the silent majority will approve the crackdown. Or, do you want us to think that the Fed govt is in cahoots with some 'warlords' to perpetuate this fiasco? When are we going to stop "using RACE and RELIGION" for political gain? Is 1Malaysia about such things?? It's a sad day that we have to witness such acts of "open" hatred and 'bullying' that goes unpunished. The Home Minister needs to pull up his socks,!!
