FUnny How.
We can see many of our local artistes at clubs and pay big bucks to watch them live, when we can't really have a taste of what our locals can really offer elsewhere.
We all know we have our traditions and cultures but yet, it only transpires at TDC centres - not on the streets.
We all know we have a strong culture, yet what we all choose to show to the rest of the world (in our mega malls & such) that we only belong to that culture but decides to show the western culture we are fond of.
Our administrators are keen on promoting this as a key point in our tourism, yet we can only see this part of our culture only at cultural centres, not anywhere near our homes.. or our city streets.
People are shouting about having a Malaysian identity, when we only know not more than 10% of our roots.
In schools, we are taught of where we all came from, but we never get emphasised to how important it is to know our roots.
Who are we, really?
Malays?
Chinese?
Indians?
Chindians?
Is it really important to know our roots?
