Full story: Malaysia Sun

This is only a misunderstanding. Don't make this as a big issue or politic. We also indian call them (sikh) vanggali (in Tamil), they did'nt show hesitated. Why suddenly make this as a issue?

kwan, some people get hurt because that 'term' is kind of discrimitory, it's not politically correct

it's like calling the chinese 'mata sepet/ cina babi' or indians 'keling'- see the hurt?

so, everyone will have to mind their words in this multiracial country

OTOK-Sikhs calling themselves 'bengali' have been so long in malaysia that they have forgotten what they are any longer.Simply because some are ignorant, does not excuse what that kampung padi boy from Perak gaffed about.It simply showed that going to ASTON perhaps with only Cs after all did not educate him properly.
I am sure if I rattled off a few words here about other races or your race ...OTOK CHARACHAT, you may take offence...the only person with some sense and intelligent here seems to be SAMPUNA.
It is politically, socially and humanely improper to call any one a derogative name, espcially a whole race.If it is not derogative, why are people bent on shouting such ....of course unfortunately through ignorance of the malaysian public and much to be blamed the Sikh community who did nothing to correct it . it has become a derogative term.Anyway, Why insist on calling people something when they are not that ?Is that simply lowlife ignorance or stupidity?When I was young in Malaysia,any one who would loose in a fight with me ...he would shout bengali and RUN...after all I am a fine representaion of the Sikh race in build.Why run, if they knew it was not supposed to be derogative as claimed here.
OTOK just because your friends as you claim accept it ..it does not make it right neither acceptable, nor give you the license to claim so.
In this ever moving world, we should accept individuals as people not based upon colour, or their religion, as many ignorant still continue to do so.

Daily Horoscope for February 13

Leo

Something will surface that either allows you to go forward or blocks your progress. Whichever way things go, take action to bring about change. If there's a blockage, then investigate the true cause as to why things are stuck. If things are unfolding well then make sure you act with clarity and determination. You can build something for the future now if you make a decisive move.
