Race Relations in Malaysia

Taken from BBC Radio 4's Crossing Continent which has travelled to Malaysia to explore the divide among races and spoke to the new generation of Malaysians pushing for more equality after decades of a system of racial preferences.

Below are 3 videos of interviews from 3 different people by reporter Mukul Devichand.

First was Luqman, a student leader at the Universiti Teknologi Mara - a Malay University. Last year he led a street protest after a state official remarked that perhaps one in 10 university places should be opened to minorities.



Secondly was Sue, a Malay Muslim. Religion is important to her and this has influenced her views on race.



Lastly was to student and blogger Vasantarao, who was part of an explosion of anger from Malaysia's smallest racial group, the Indians, which first shook the country in 2007.


So whose point of view are the same as ours? Why is that so?

I begin to wonder, if 1Malaysia will ever gonna make any kinda of impact to our society, country and nation.



How i wish we would all give the same reply as those kids above...
