Malaysian Indian


Let us say foreigners ask me what nationality I am. I just cannot say I am a Malaysian. They will want to know why I am black and others brown or yellow. I have to say my ancestors are from India or I am a Malaysian of Indian origin, that is, I am an Malaysian Indian. And the others Malaysian Chinese, Malaysian Malay, Malaysian Iban, Malaysian Kadazan, etc - with the Malaysian in front. I think this is also what our PM meant when he said One Malaysia. We should never just say we are Indians, Chinese, etc.

Many people are for the idea of telling ourselves plainly just Malaysians. They want all the forms or whatever application papers to be filled as just Malaysian, rather than his or her race. This, I think, is impractical in the long run, where the restructuring of society is concerned.
