Malaysia Malaysia

When I see that Malays have started voting for non Mala parties, I began to wonder whether we are moving to a new trend where race and religion do not really matter. This, in theory, would lead to the formation of a Malaysia race.

It would not be a bad idea if BN would consider dissolving its component parties and be united again but this time under one flag. Lets call it "Parti Negara". The founder of UMNO, Dato Onn saw the weakness of of a party based on racial lines. So he founded a new party "Parti Negara" which opened its door to all races. But 50 years ago the country was not ready for it yet. There was a lot of racial mistrust then.

A two party system in Malaysia would be great - "Parti Negra" and "Pakatan Rakyat". However we should not go for a republican type of government. Monarchy stays. Its good as a unifying force
