    Themes & Issues In Malaysian Literature
    Academic : Mr.Rohimmi Bin Noor

    May 13 - Hidden Hands SAID ZAHARI May, 1969

    (after racial riots in Kuala Lumpur)

    Once again History repeats itself By savage deeds In a civilized age Once again Hidden hands appear Seeking the blood Of the poor and the wretched Once again Colour, race, religion and language Become sharp blades To use in the carnage It has happened In every corner of the earth

    Where the few eat bread And the rest sand It has happened Where the few clothed in velvet.. Sleep in palaces The rest go naked, squeezed into shacks It has happened Then Hidden Hands reappear Spilling the blood of the poor.. To cling on to power

    Colonialism vs. Nationalism

    Perspectives of 13th May 1969 to present

    Its good to change your perspectives once in a while

    A necessity to assimilate is not necessary if individuality and uniqueness is celebrated.

    Tolerance, Understanding, Impartiality IS The key to Unity In Diversity
