Unless you live in a cocoon or as the proverbial Malay peribahasa goes "katak bawah tempurung", then you may agree with me that racism and racist remarks uttered by irresponsible people are rampant in Malaysia.
Some academics say that racial polarization according to ethnicity is even worse.
Reports of derision such as describing Malaysian Indians as dogs and Malaysian Chinese as outsiders or pendatang and that they should go back to their homeland, China are a common affair, especially when uttered by politicians.
In the incident, over 50 parents and students had lodged reports against the principal, who allegedly described the non-Malays as “penumpang” (passengers) in the country during her speech at the start of the celebration on Aug 12.
Last week the police was reported to have investigated the principal who allegedly uttered the remarks against non-Malay students during the Merdeka celebration at the school. Kulaijaya deputy OCPD Asst Supt Mohd Kamil said police had received 12 reports against the principal since Saturday and that the case was being investigated under Section 504 of the Penal Code.

More disturbing is the fact that the school principal herself was reported to have admitted that she is half-Chinese.
Perkasa President, Datuk Ibrahim Ali in a statement to Utusan Malaysia (28.08.2010) said he wants the Ministry of Education to act professionally on the principal. According to Ibrahim, she even has Chinese blood running in her as her mother is Chinese, so there shouldn't be a racial issue here. Ibrahim was reported to have said that to reporters on a social visit to the principal's house in Kampung Melayu, Kulaijaya on 27.08.2010.
Hmmm... Ibrahim, you always give unintelligent warped logic. You think you can fool people by saying since the principal is half-Chinese, so she can utter as many racist remarks -- because her mother is a Chinese.So, the next time it will be okay for you if a Malay who is half-Indian to utter racist remarks against the Malaysian Indians -- all because a precedent has been set by the half Chinese school principal.
I don't know what will happen to the pride and stability of this country if people like Datuk Ibrahim Ali were chosen as leaders?
On 21.08.2010 Malaysian Mirror reported another case of racist remark being uttered in a school by a headmistress. The Sekolah Menegah Kebangsaan Bukit Selambau, Sungai Petani secondary school head was alleged to have told her Chinese pupils to "return to China".
The report Another school head in Kedah accused of racism.
We will wait and see how this case will unfold and what Datuk Ibrahim Ali wants to say about it. Maybe this headmistress also have Chinese blood in her.
HIDUP PERKASA!
HANCUR MALAYSIA!
