Malaysians are all equal

All malaysians should be treated as equal citizens of the country and not be caregorised as A,B or C-level citizens, MCA secretary-general Datuk Seri Ong Ka Chuan said yesterday.
"After 51 years of independence,we are all citizens of malaysia and there is no class A,B or C. There should be no classification of citizenship as all races are equal and all people enjoy the benefits,. We have to work together and weed out the mischief caused by racially biased viewpoints that will destrok racial harmony in the country."
He said there should not be any questions raised about racial backgrounds and loyalty to Malaysia as all races including Malays, Chinese and Indians had sacrificed their blood to free the country from Japanese occupation in the 1940s.
About 300,000 Chinese died defending the country during the Japanese Cccupation when the British witrhdrew their troops and left the country defenceless. The British had acknowledged this hact and granted the Chinese community citizenship," he said in Ipoh.
he said this in reference to Umno Bukit Bendera division chief datuk Ahmad Ismail's alleged alleged statement that Chinese ar e only squatters and immigrants and it is impossible for them to achieve equal rights among the races.
The Alliance party 'house' was originally formed by Malays, Chinese and Indians which later la\ed to the formation of the BArisan National.
Datuk Seri Ong callrd on BN leaders to oromate BN leaders to promote the concept and spirit of muhibah among the various races. among the various races.
