A step backward, a step forward

Sometimes, things that happen far away can influence us to a great extent. For instance, the spat between Lois Suarez of Liverpool and Patrick Evra of Manchester United are attracting far too many mouth-watering spats among my friends who are the fans of EPL.The fact is racism is not only an issue in our country, which is multi racial and multi religions. It is also an issue in developed nations such as US, England and other EU nations. 

That’s perfectly normal in my view as human are just human, have likes and dislikes. Some people could seem to be very open-minded but deep inside fanatic. That’s why people said don’t judge a book by its cover. Even the parents may have their own blue-eyed boys or girls. The fact is that too many people are using “racism” to attack others for ulterior motives such as to gain popularity or political mileage from their own race and in the way creating unnecessary tensions and disturbing racial harmony. 

For instance, the issue involving one Chinese customer and one Malay KFC worker at ICity recently must not be perceived as racial as it was merely an issue involving dissatisfied customer and over-aggravated worker. Just let the Police do their job and prosecute the offenders and all political parties should stay away from further complicating the issue.

I have already blacklisted many restaurants or eateries at Seremban or near my work place simply because of the bad attitude of their waiter or waitress. And sometimes it is no point to quarrel with strangers that we don’t even know. They could run amok and become extremely harmful to us. 

Sometimes a step backward do not make you a loser, likewise, a step forward don’t necessarily make you a winner.
