Communalism is still the threat in Malaysia


MOUSE TRAP STORY


A mouse MALAYsian looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer Najee and his wife open a package.

What food might this contain? The mouse MALAYsian wondered - he was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap sekolah vernakular.
Retreating to the farmyard, the  mouse MALAYsian proclaimed the warning : There is a mousetrap sekolah vernakular in the house! There is a mousetrap sekolah vernakular in the house!

The chicken PKR clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, "Mr. Mouse MALAYsian, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. " "I cannot be bothered by it."
The  mouse MALAYsian turned to the pig DAP and told him, "There is a mousetrap sekolah vernakular in the house! There is a mousetrap sekolah vernakular in the house!"

The pig DAP said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse MALAYsian. I'm sorry for you, but it's no skin off my nose.

The mouse MALAYsian turned to the cow PAS and said "There is a mousetrap sekolah vernakular in the house! There is a mousetrap sekolah vernakular in the house!"

The cow PAS sympathized, but said, I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse MALAYsian, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. "Be assured you are in my prayers."

So, the mouse MALAYsian returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer's Najee's mousetrap sekolah vernakular alone.
That very night a sound was heard throughout the house -- like the sound of a mousetrap sekolah vernakular catching its prey. The farmer's Najee's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake communalism whose tail the trap had caught.
The snake communalism bit the farmer's Najee's wife. The farmer Najee rushed her to the hospital, and she returned home with a fever.
Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken PKR soup, so the farmer Najee took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient.
But his wife's sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them,  the farmer Najee butchered the pig DAP.

The farmer's Najee's wife did not get well; she died.
So many people came for her funeral, the farmer Najee had the cow PAS slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them.
The mouse MALAYsian looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness.
So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn't concern you, remember -- when one of us is threatened, we are all at risk.

So, the next time you hear about KEMPEN SSS's petition and think it doesn't concern you, remember, when communalism rears its ugly head one day, we are all at risk.

We are all involved in this journey called life "SATU BANGSA, SATU NEGARA, SATU BAHASA". We must keep an eye out for one another unite as one people, one voice and make an extra effort to encourage one another become truly MALAYsians.
TELL THIS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS COME ACROSS YOU AND LET THEM KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THEY ARE in building this nation, first by building a (national) school.

REMEMBER,,,, EACH OF US IS A VITAL THREAD IN ANOTHER PERSON'S TAPESTRY; OUR LIVES ARE WOVEN TOGETHER FOR A REASON.
