Bro, As alwaysd a very thoughtful and well written piece. I just would like to add that the Constitutional description of who is a Malay shows how the Malays in general are not racists but are a very inclusive people who will accept anybody as their own so long as they conform to the three ingredients. Thus anybody at all on this earth will be accepted by the Malays as a Malay if he has those three ingredients. That is why we accept a Chinese. an Indian or even a Mat Salleh who accept those three requirements to be deemed a Malay. And that is perhaps also why in Kedah we always says a person who converts to Islam as dah Masuk Melayu.

Dato Rejal,
Salam Aidil Fitri to you. I think you meant to leave this comment on the "Jimizul, is it racial or racist" post.
