I was boarding a Rapid KL train this evening. As it was after work rush hour, there was a crowd in the train. When the train stopped at one of the stations, I saw two ladies came in. There was only one empty seat.
The two ladies, one Chinese and the other Malay were strangers to each other. They were very courteous to each other. They allowed each other to take the seat. But none took the seat. Instead the Malay lady turned to the other side and invited her Indian lady friend to sit. But the Indian friend was very courteous as well. She refused and asked the Malay lady to sit instead. After a short hesitation, the Malay lady finally took the seat.
I was quite amused with that incident that happened right in front of me! It's not the courtesy that got me amused, but rather it happened among a Malay, a Chinese and an Indian (the 3 main races in M'sia). Amazing!
It really caught my attention. I was wondering how beautiful it'd be if Malaysians regardless of races are courteous to each other in all circumstances and areas in life. No one would claim that this is his or her race's right.
That's what I call 1 Malaysia.
Selamat Hari Merdeka. Happy 52nd Birthday Malaysia.
