Actually, Lee Chong Wei was naturally astute
politically, because his life and deeds defined the significance of 1 Malaysia
as Malaysians First, then Malays, Chinese. Indians and others
In the titanic struggle between him and Lin Dan, where
both were of ethnic Chinese in origin, he fought as a true Malaysian, and
the question of being Chinese did not mean he had to give deference to a
brother from China, Lee’s motherland. Lee is ethnically Chinese,
but a true and die hard Malaysian in every other aspect of life.
Chong Wei’s instincts were Malaysian – he deployed his
skills and experience as best as he could in the hope that he would bring home
the Olympic Gold to Malaysia.
He is the ideal Malaysian and is a sterling example for all
to follow. He is saying that the people are like him – all Malaysians.
They do not believe in ketuanan melayu, but they fervently believe that they
are Malaysians of equal standing, and they are prepared to fight for the honor
and glory of Malaysia
at all times.
