This video, by late Yasmin Ahmad, reflects some of the Chinese Malaysian mentality.
For the first part, I interpreted it as "Malaysia is not a good place for Chinese Malaysia, you should go to other countries, where they appreciate your talent and sponsor your studies"
But the guy seemed to love this country, wanted to protect his mother, appreciate his friends and whatnot, therefore was reluctant to accept the offer.
Come to the second part, he seemed to have a crush on the Malay Malaysian girl. But before he could further proceed - his mum stopped him.
This is the painful reality - for even if a particular descendant (note, I'm reluctant to use the word 'race') has affection on other descendant, they can't proceed because of the biased view, discrimination etc - brain-washed by family or even the society.
And not to forget, the government policy or even the religion perceived by individual descendant, played a big role to stop all these cultural interaction.
Therefore, while non-Malay descendant love to say they are oppressed, did they really try to give before they could take?
This is the last laugh Yasmin Ahmad had on Malaysia's unity.
It is both funny and sad.
