Sampai Bila?

I received this email from one of the 'supposed to be' the participant for our debate tournament. Unfortunately they have to withdraw 2 teams because of this rule- Please include one Bumiputra in your team.


Dear Miss Begum,
Kind greetings. We would like to express our deep regret for we will now not be able to participate for your inter college debate competition due to the bumiputera rule. We would also like to point out our unfortunate dissapointment in regards to this bumiputera rule. We assumed it was long pass the days where highschool teams held this positive discrimination rule. WE also cannot imagine teams that are hnadicapped in this situation such as KDU College, where there is a low minority of bumiputeras and thus expected to participate. It further suprised us that the theme seemed to be "1 MAlaysia". So moving forth on the theme, we feel this step taken to ensure 1 bumi in every team is sending us BACK to the times where people tolerated such decisions, we however, do not. We hope that the decision of including 1 bumi in every team is revised to include a fair participation.

Trust me when i said i was so depress after reading this. I hate the rule actually because i think it is discriminating. I am not a Bumiputra as well so i understand very well when every opportunity will be taken because i don't have that particular brand. Funny since both my parents were born and bred in Malaysia. Pakcik Maidin tak pernah pon jejak kaki kat India.

So, what should we do now? should we continue with this ridiculous rule until the end of this world? This is a debate competition. We want to promote to our children that we should not discriminate each other. We want our children to live in harmony regardless the race. We want our children to respect each other. What kind of message we are sending here?? Shouldn't every human being deserve the same right as the other?I'm not being political here.I just try to express my feeling regarding this matter. Some might think that it is a tiny lil thing. Who cares right?But i do..Anyone else?

Miss FB is apologising if you did not agree with me. This kind of thing have been troubling me ever since I was in high school...and only now I'm voicing it?
