Malaysian lawyer files US$4 trillion suit against Britain

I read with sadness ( very SAD and Embarrassed ) a news report in Taipei Times. The news article is regarding a Malaysian Lawyer filing a US$4 trillion suit against Britain. The suit seek USD 2 million compensation for each of the currently estimated 2 million Malaysian of Indian Origin. The suit claimed that, Indians were originally brought in by the British to work as indentured labourer in Malaysia prior to Malaysia’s independent. It further claimed British negligence and failure for not protecting the rights of future generations of the minority Indians in Malaysia. The suit also want the British court to declare Malaysia’ constitutions NULL and VOID. Read HERE for further details of the news report.

I am not a legal expert, but why filing the suit in British court ? Why are we still kowtowing to the British court ? Why not filing the suit in United Nations’ International Court or United Nations’ Human Rights Commissions ?

As a Malaysian, I do felt very sad that, after so many years of independence, we are still unable to identify ourselves as a single National Identity. We are still resorting to identify ourselves as Malay, Indian, Chinese, etc. to claim special rights and selfish interests.

I pray, one day in a not so distant future, our children can all be proud Malaysians enjoying equal rights irregardless of culture, race, religion, and ethnicity. Let’s us put oursleves in each other shoes to forster better understandings and tolerances. May the line that divide becomes our rally point to unite. May God grace all Malaysians with fair eyes, hearts, and souls to accept all Malaysians as Malaysians, respectful of human rights, and the decency to embrace non discriminatory practices.
