A roller-coaster year for race relations
by K.K. Tan
|
|
The year 2009 started off with the high hopes of our civil society dashed for a legal mechanism to check racialism.

Who would have thought?

THIS time last year I was cleaning out my closet and getting ready to usher in 2009. Michael Jackson and Yasmin Ahmad were still with us, Perak seemed like a peaceful state, PKFZ was a mere alphabet jumble to me, by-elections didn’t happen every other month, being a political aide wouldn’t make insurance companies blink twice and increase their premium, cow heads were never seen in the city, models took their place on the catwalk and not headlines, fighter jet engines were not a concern, MCA was very organised and didn’t contribute to day-time soap opera scripts, it was safe to sleep in the nude without photos being taken and circulated, Balinese mansions were generally native to Bali and not Selangor, black T-shirts had a slimming effect and didn’t warrant an arrest, bridges were safe to cross and I didn’t think twice if a stadium roof was going to collapse on me, Bahasa Malaysia and English were languages Malaysians speak that didn’t cause major protests, massive traffic jams and parliament debates, famous people didn’t just go missing, especially prime suspects, while one was a number and not a slogan for everything Malaysian.
