Chinese united
We are one big family. It's an old Chinese saying that I still stand by.
I seldom observe politics but the recent tussle in MCA (Malaysia Chinese Association) caught my attention. It's about power and indirectly it's about money, which comes with the control. Lets hope they will come to their senses soon before any serious breakup in the family, afterall the losers are ourself as Chinese.
Sadly, Chinese people are segregating themselves more in the recent years. As seen lately, various Chinese associations mushroomed. There are the Hokkien association, Hakka, Teochew, Foochow and list goes on. Then there are the subdivision by clan names, the Chan, Lim, Lee, Ling etc. I never join any of this association as I believe its unhealthy and against the old Chinese saying that I believe in. Why discriminate and divide ourself? We should be united as one big happy family.

Since we are all Chinese, why segregate among ourselves?
