Mayday! Mayday! May 13.

I heaved a sigh of relief when the purported May 13 rally was called off! Whether held in an indoor stadium or "just a peaceful gathering" by the roadside would make a lot of people uneasy!

The government had taken almost half a century to conciliate public opinion on that "historic" day and yet there were some halfwits who tried to "honour that day"! If the organizers thought that all Malaysians were for that rally, then they had got another think coming! How thoughtless were those halfwits!

Calling off that rally was the most sensible thing to do because it was not readily accepted by most Malaysians! Organizing a rally with "just one race" participating in it is simply an unjustifiable risk! Don't take unnecessary risk and then suffer unnecessary pain later!

We're living in a very unique country and it is unquestionably the best! Our pluralist society is the envy of many countries in the world. To a considerable extent, we're still doing okay, expect for some minor hiccups here and there! The government can still make further improvements to the laws on racial discrimination! Let's improve on that and move on!

And can we live together in political, national and economic unity? If we can all do that, then it would be a remarkable achievement!
