Malaysia, the one we knew

Dwelling on differ ences: The Padang Brown food court will soon be divided by a wall to separate stalls frequented by those of different religious beliefs.

There are increasingly loud voices in our country that want to amplify our differences. How far we have deviated from when we cared for each other almost as one big family.

HOW did we come to this? A religious teachers spews divisive rhetoric, a feeble-minded Facebook user talks rubbish about religious obligations on Hari Raya, another FB user derides as devils religious pilgrims.
