In Fairness

2020 is coming on track. When we reach that momentous year, will we still be a divided nation? This is the question Malaysians are asking. Will we still be obssessed with race and religion? Will Malaysia just be the basket to hold the eggs together?

If we based on the above, it is indeed a gloomy outlook. Yet there is hope. Because we Malaysians believe in fairnesss. In fairness, we have enough for everybody. The Malaysian cake is sufficient to satisfy everyone. So what is the problem? Your guess is as good as mine.

Actually there is no problem? It is man made. If we are animals and we follow our instincts, we would have reached our destination naturally and safely. But man is a different specie. Man has that extra special - the superiority complex. This is the root cause of men treating his group better than the others. Call it by another name - unfairness. You know if we do a literal solution, just remove the - un.

And that would solve the issue. Right! It becomes - fairness. But literal is not the answer. It is something deeper. It is goodness. So you say what is good about eggs being in one basket? Security maybe, unity! Both are necessary, if you have security, you will certainly have unity. Otherwise, it will be chaos.

Eggs are supposed to be broken. If they are not, than they will not serve any useful purpose. For all the eggs to be one, they have therefore to be broken. So if you take one egg to represent one race or one ethnic group. How many eggs do you have in Malaysia? Definitely a lot.

Can we now solve the problem of why it is important to have a united Malaysian nation equals Bangsa Malaysia equals 1Malaysia equals Malaysians (equals broken eggs).

The final result, one race, Bangsa Malaysia and one nation, Malaysia.
