YOURSAY | ‘When will Malaysians be mature enough to deal with the truth of May 13?’
MalaysiakiniMay 13 was a dark, shameful, and indelible part of Malaysia's history, albeit centred in Kuala Lumpur.
Apart from vindicating a few politicians and vilifying some others, what real good can it do at this point in our history? And, the ongoing inquest into the unlawful death of firefighter Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim is being turned into a racial ‘Game of Thrones’. Remember, there weren't electronic messaging such as WhatsApp and the like. I am one of those; age as above.If anything, it will give ammunition to political parties such as Umno and PAS who use the 3Rs to survive and worsen race relations. My take is to let it rest in peace.I agreed. We seniors knew and equally, knew it would be a fruitless task to try to unearth the painful truth. This nation simply does not have the integrity and dignity of a just nation.
