I’m African, randomly clicked on this video because it caught my eye. I couldn’t agree more with her insightful delightful perspective! Nandini is a very intelligent beautiful Queen!
@strange First, I don't know about Nadini's ancestry but she said herself that she is of the Indian race. I don't know on what basis you're claiming she's African. Second, for you to have only been realising that Africans also live in Malaysia- have you been living under a rock or maybe you're from the "perkampungan" outskirts of Malaysia? I've had African neighbours for years when I used to live at my old house last time. Advice: Read more and get out of your comfort zone to explore the surroundings around. Peace.
This was a much needed topic to be raised...Many Malaysians are racists and feel its okey to be racist but no one speaks of it and its a topic mostly swept under the rug and never brought into discussions. Finally we are addressing the issue publicly and hopefully people realise and stop treating people based on race,colour. We are all one race the human race.
@@atengku9660 Nope, i studied in SK, the most racist stream out there, the ustazahs tell how your religion is not true on your faced etc and other bullshits, doesnt happen in Chinese or Tamil schools. can ask your Malay children who are studying in Chinese Schools, stop blaming other streams and look at SKs, the are like freaking Sekolah Agama.
@@reald3d23 Make a report then. You are playing devil's advocate by saying Chinese schools are not racist? Do you know that they look down on those who have brown skin? Even Malays are considered dark for them. For your information, there are no countries which have school streams based on race. America is diverse. Even early immigrants which are not English speaking were subject to humiliation and banned from speaking their parents language (including those from European descent). Today, all Americans speak English. Our school system is a colonial's legacy where they thought that the pendatang will be go back to their motherland. Even Singapore don't have vernacular schools anymore. You are labelling SK as racist because of one ustazah. That's racist. Is it fair for a person to label Indians as robbers and gangsters just because that person encountered that from an Indian?
been in west Malaysia for quite sometime mixed with of course malay, chinese & india and learned a lot on each race mentality & character, lucky we in sarawak are much understand each other more
@@gaisahputang yes but it does not mean that they don't have the said issues. They had them for a while. I guess everywhere is quite the same. Just at different level.
Teringat zaman sekolah dulu, saya punya kelas semua bangsa ada, chinese ,indian ,malay, iban, bidayuh, siam, n banyak lg, kmi xdak rasic² pun, bila dekat dgn exam, kmi yg melayu akan ajarkan diorang bahasa melayu, n chinese akan ajarkan kmi math, n indian ajar bahasa inggeris, so kmi xdak rasics2 nie, kmi mcm adik beradik, even dah lama habis sekolah kmi masih contact satu sama lain,
@@kamalesshanmugam3091 certain minor and unpopular politicians, yes, but racism wasn't brought in by the government. it comes from within. citizens ourselves. stop pointing fingers and considerate and fix our own flaws.
If we can't change the mindset of current generation (like our parents), we still can be a better citizen and educate our kids differently. Slowly but surely, we can make Malaysia a better country ❤🇲🇾
Yes I'm doing it..when my malay racist guy use all racism words..my son will ask y..and what is that.i will always tell my son we need to respect and b nice to all no matter what their race is ...just what my parents thought me.Hope we will hv a better Malaysia😍.

When we degraded others, we were just trying to hide our weaknesses and feeds our ego. God made us different, so that we can learn from each other. I believe, when we love others, we will love our self. Love is contagious, don't waste it ❤️❤️
This is the reason why i always root for everyone going to the same school aka a school which is racially diverse since primary years.By giving everyone exposure to different races and cultures at a young age, kids will learn to be more acceptable of other people cultures and races. I was in a racially diverse school in my primary years and i always thought there was nothing wrong to be friends with other people who are not the same religion and race as me. But when i enter my secondary school( who is mostly malay), it was disgusting to see how some of my classmates treats my indian friends. The most offensive thing was they asked me how can i be friends with an indian girl,and the exact words were' dhlaa dorang tu hitam lpstu sembah patung ko tu x malu ke berkawan dgn dorang'. I was soo angry i slapped the boy straight and gave him a piece of my mind. Lets just say that i was not popular with some people bcos they said i 'betrayed' my people bcos i defended my friend.
damn my blood always boil when someone brings in racial & religion sentiment. respect & tolerance in this multicultural country must be taught. can't believe setengah org still ada mentality sampah 💀💀
@@saifaman8569 im a malay and used to go to SJK(C) and all i could say is racism i faced as a malay is just as bad as portrayed by that commenter.... Now im currently in SMK and yeah regardless of race, everyone is still racist towards each other😌
This is why no one believes racism will ever truly end. Once we're all the same shade in 10,000 years we'll still discriminate against each other, just for different reason. Humanity needs to evolve, and quick.
Funny how Indians complain of racism when abroad when they themselves discriminate against the tribals in india and look down on them . Marriage advertising is full of people looking for a fair complexioned bride. . There are also a multitude of castes who are either considered high or low and some medium level ! And they don’t inter marry as much as possible . Coming to inter religious marriages like Hindu - Muslim , that’s a big no no most of the time . Coming to Malaysia where Chinese are considered superior , in the west they complain when they experience racism . It seems human beings are unique in that they desire to look down on other human beings using some lame excuse or the other .
Manasses Kamau I understand that and that’s absolutely wrong . I read a comment that among the blacks there is discrimination based on tribes. I have also heard a mixed race - Afro caribbean and white say that in her dads country of origin lighter skin if favoured to dark skin and skin lightening creams have a big market in Africa too . Inherently human beings are the only species with this mind set of needing to dominate another human based on something or the other .
I m malay. I don't care about calor. All Malaysian my friends n family. I come from low income society. We respect each other s. Yes, in ours society also have negative thoughts but they minority. I welcome u to Jitra, experience it yourself.
I love how Nandini talked about EVERY RACE IN MALAYSIA. This is not just a certain party problem , every race in this country is facing this, only the scale of the recorded occurences are differing. Nonetheless, thank you Nandini for this series and I hope that this grows and brings more awareness to even the ones with a thick skulls
I’mma fair skin Indian gal ... and workin in Retail .... this happened like 5 years ago ...ma previous Manager told me that she accepted me cause I didn’t look Indian .. I was like “what the hell do u mean by that “ she said u “u don’t look like Indian ..u look.better “ I resigned the next month ... I was so pissed off .. 😕
@@azfin7430 ☺️ saying “what the hell do u mean by that “doesn’t mean imma bad person .. just it’s how u say it .. plus Ma move made some difference after quitting.that company actually had training with the managers and being more open for Indian staffs . Be nice and make a difference .. that’s the spirit !
I was from SK (boys school) in the 80s and we have quite numbers of chinese and indian students in the class. However racism never been an issue! I still remember whenever we had any dispute or fight to each other..we use 'nama bapak' instead! So during those days, it was important to know their father, grandfather or mother names. Sound pathetic but one thing for sure, racism is never used to undermine each other. Now its been 30 years since we left our primary school, and sometimes when we have our reunion and meet fellow classmates and forget their names, they will remind us by using their 'nama bapak', and we will laugh! Something i feel 'glad' about it. 😅
Lucky u bro..i still remember my teacher saying that i bau like kambing..well,i was a 80s kid and from sekolah kebangsaan also..sad to say this but thats the fact..
back in early 90's me and 1 indian girl was experiencing this racism treatment when working with chinese company. we both qualified with the job requirements but was underpaid because we're not chinese. chinese girl with only diploma n cant even speak nor write or understand english getting better pay than us. the management also treat us differently in so many ways. later i found out that the company taking in malay and indian staff to balancing the odds so they can get government projects. we both left the company after few months of suffering.
Im moving to Malaysia from Canada. I feel so sad and mad my people தமிழ் treated there unfairly. Malaysia should learn from Canada n Singapore how to treat Tamils well.
I am late to the party, but thank you Says Team for making this video. As an Orang Asli of the Semai tribe, I really feel in my soul when Nandini talks about "dan lain-lain". Keep up the good work, Says. Keep bringing up all these issues so we can help to educate our society better. And to Nandini, my dear girl, keep on being you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m so sorry you had to go through what you did as a student. It makes me sad. That must have hurt your feelings. Growing up in the east, we don’t have many Indians here. But honestly, I’ve always thought people with dark skin to be unique and beautiful. Never once, I thought about it being ugly or dirty. You are absolutely right, racism and discrimination are taught, and people can unlearn this to be respectful and accepting others as they are. Why do we want to be the same? It’s better different.
I've Indian friends, I love them, as well as Chinese friends, malays usually use nicknames for friends, sometimes it sounded harsh and unacceptable but that is how we value our friendship. #saynotorasicm
I don't know about that lol. I'm a mix (Malay, Chinese, and a Muslim) and my friend sometimes call me "Wei Cina!". It kinda hurts a little lol. Probably because he is Malay but he looks like Chinese a bit (maybe his grandparents). Jealous maybe 🤔 lol.
Sadly, ppl like us are only a small percentage of this country :( most of them are prejudiced and aren't even open to commit to having interracial friendships. I come from a school that has all races and nationalities mixed together, so when I came out, I'm actually surprised to see groups that are sticking only to their own race. I tend to avoid them. Kinda uncomfortable seeing them so segregated, I don't see the need to be. #saynotoracism
@@lulu9421 it is similar when this group of people study abroad. They only flock together with their own kind, never to branch out. Such a waste of opportunities.
The problem is, kids in Malaysia attend their own schools. Chinese have their own schools, Indians have their own schools, Malays have their own schools. So kids are raised not really socialising and connecting with kids of other races. So the differences between the races is compounded once they grow up. Make most schools in Malaysia just 1 school of all races first, and while I don't think that will solve all of the racist problem, it could make a significant difference.
I kinda understand this argument. But historically chinese and indians want to uphold their mother tongue... If vernacular schools are abolished, ppl from those communities will feel as if their culture is being eroded. Especially since there are many vernacular schools that have been around longer than malaysia has been a country.
@@phadenswandemil4345 I did not say close all vernacular schools, I said close most. While having vernacular schools is great to hold each race's respective cultural practices, it doesn't help in making kids of different racial backgrounds grow up viewing each other as neighbours and friends as opposed to strangers. Compromise Malaysian schools curriculum to accomodate subjects to teach intercultural exchange, such as options to learn other languages, and make English the medium of instruction. IF we are to keep the status quo, then the divisiveness will always be there. Compromise, can't have the best of both worlds
Unity schools won't attain the desired results, even now, the children friends with thier own race groups, during my school days the teachers paired us with the same race beside the desk😎
ill only agree if 1. Follow singapore style where all children must learn mother tongue and sit for that exams in kebangsaan school. 2. All public university must accept all malaysian children according to grades. No quota system, where if you are malay, you will not only have better chances of getting university(not to mention malay only public university) , you will also get scholarships like mara,jpl easily. No use having so called kebangsaan school to promote unity, when once you finish spm, you will immediately find out that you(non-bumi kid) are, in fact, born into a rasist constitution.
Racism doesn't only exist in Malaysia, but also around the world unfortunately... Educating the people is the key, especially the young. Being a Malay, I am certainly proud to call Nandini my "sister"... Huge respect.
How dare you compare the racism in Malaysia to elsewhere when you know nothing about the country. Before commenting your should have read out constitution that places on race above others. Then, you could have gone on ti study the New Economic Policy that includes numerous laws that discriminate against 43% of the population. After that you could learn about the restrictions on religions other than Islam or investigated Putrajaya, a new city built to exclude non Muslims and to hide their very existence. Now, tell me what other countries you had in mind "around the world".
We love our indian and chinese friends or even mix race friends. So many beautiful people in here. And yummy food. Even tourist want to retired in here. Malaysia is beautiful country. Because of beautiful people with different ethnics and race. Its not just a place but its a people. Alhamdulilah.
Bila kita x kenal style kaum lain, kita mungkin senang sakah faham. Cara org cina bila bertutur mmg nampak kurang sopan tapi mmg style mereka cara itu tapi saya tahu mereka xde apa apa niat buruk. Bila mereka cakap sesama sendiri pun sama je. Straight forward to the point tak de nak manis manis kan conversation. Tapi bila dah kenal, kita tahu pa itu cara sopan santun mereka. Kaum lain pun kena tahu budaya melayu dgn lebih supaya kita boleh kurangkan salah faham. Melayu biasanya mmg sgt sopan dan suka bila kamu senyun dan bercakap dgn tone yang lembut sikit. Every race has different style. India is easiest going. Steady. Mereka ok je dgn style mana mana. Senang adapt
We cant say because some are bad. All are bad. Like every part in the world. People just people. But good people do exist. Its not the place but its people make it different.
As a Malaysian Chinese, I remember when our former Financial Minister Lim Guan Eng said that he identified himself as a “Malaysian” and not a “Chinese”, the backlash he received in the Chinese community is freaking insane. Not to said that we can’t even solve racism within the Chinese community. When a Chinese can’t speak Mandarin because he/she was educated in an International school or overseas, they are often being looked down by other Chinese, especially older generation.
@@Rajomega1 that can change to the "logic side" but can't be done alone, ma fren. People like us must stick together and set an example so others will follow suit and be more open-minded and respectful. Step in and speak out when you see unjust racism happening. Again this can't be done alone as the situation may be dangerous to do so, so with bystander effects, when one step in, others may slowly follow.
@@Rajomega1 because nobody stepped in during the early stages, allowing it to develop and be normalised to a point even the affected race group thinks it's funny and it's okay.

@Ilmu. .Pengetahuan We can't deny the fact that we do have ultra racist in Msia, albeit a small percentage. They are the loudest, stick out like a sore thumb and difficult to forget. Hence, the "exaggeration" (probably). That's good to know.

True. It is especially difficult if the culture itself promotes colorism and discrimination based on things you don't choose. For example, my grandma who is an Iyer, refuse to associate in any way with Indians who are not same caste as her. And she taught the same to her children and grandchildren. Some of my cousins still refuse to eat with lower castes. I am ok with it but I don't tell my family if I eat with them. Later my family will make big fuss saying i am contaminated and impure...
I feel you and sorry for what you been through. I totally been through same thing as you . I was dark due to joining a lot of school sport activity when I was in Sekolah kebangsaan plus some more I’m Indian ,other kids always bully me and name call “keling” ,”bau Kari “ which made my self esteem down until I don’t want to go to school anymore or far more worse feel alone in a crowd . But now when I’m a little fair the society treat me differently and not as bad as when I was kid ,some don’t even believe me or ask me why am I fair for an Indian🤦🏻♀️ and your right the treatment are different based on racial . Racism will never stop unless we unite together and create awareness about it !
Nandini, i totally agree with you. with LOVE from Sarawak. Despites Racism, Still proud to be Malaysian. It is our duty, to make Malaysia a better place to live. Don't blame on a single race for bad things happened to us, all are responsible. Thanks for this video.
Nah i'm a cashier..and I faced a lot racism and rude customer almost everyday..they talk shit about us infront of us.. if they don't like how we do they will complain a lot..some like to throw the things they buy at counter and ask us to packed their things quickly..some ask us rudely..pastu dgn mata pandang orang atas bawah🙄.. If we charge plastic bag they will complain lah..some like to talk bad infront of us with their own mother tongue ..(Walaupun kami x faham tapi kami tahu lah🌚) I don't want to care what races are you from..I have met a lot of racist people and faced racism from every races.. I faced racism since primary school tho..kadang orang fikir kita buduh jadi mereka akan cakap buruk tentang kita dpn kita.. sedangkan kita tahu apa yg mereka katakan tapi cuma kita xdpt nak react Macam mana.. No need to compare who are more racist .. Don't talk shit about other races lah..dan jngn dgr cakap sngt org tua yang memburukkan mana² bangsa..masa kecik kita mungkin ada di ajar benda yg x baik oleh keluarga kita x kisah lah sapa.. kadang kita membesar dgn apa yg kita dengar masa kecil.. kalau kita selalu dgr ooh bangsa ini itu ini..tapi sebenarnya drng x pon..bnykkan bergaul dengan bangsa yg berlainan..jangan hanya nak berkawan dgn bangsa kita sendiri je..kita satu Malaysia jadi bnykkan bergaul dgn bangsa yg lain jadi kita dapat mengenali lebih mendalam tentang mereka.. jangan dengar apa yg orang kata tentang bangsa mereka tapi kita sendiri yang patut cari kebenaran sebenar..adakah mereka itu ini..tidak.. walaupun kita beza agama dan bangsa tapi kita adalah satu.

You know what Nandini? I feel like adopting you as my new sibling in a Malay, Muslim family. My point is, we're uniquely born with different yet distinctive qualities which diversify our every little advantage to complement unfulfilled needs that we're fated to own since the very first day our mothers pushed us out of their wombs. Two thumbs up for everything you clarified. Really love the ways you expressed your non-judgemental points. Hey! We're family now! 🤗😘😍
White, chinese kid from Malaysia here:)) I'm very aware about the racism issue in this country, even though I'm partly white, people would always ask "what are you" like i'm a different species. It isnt all bad compared to the darker skinned people though ngl, my mom is still sort of racist, when i was young, she told me "don't let the bangla catch you." Looking back, i believe it is indeed very wrong. Each one of us had experience racism at some point of our lives, just keep calm and educate:)))
Very true scenario. Good job Nandhini. What about sending this to the politicians to begin with. We are so badly affected by racism and this is definitely to do with erasing the true history and poisoing minds especially the young minds. They are sinners for doing so! I am a patriotic Malaysian and I love Malaysia and I pray that my fellow Malaysians are not blinded by the people in power. 👍
It really boil down to the sort of family you come from. Politicians who are racists were raised in families whose culture influence their mindset and behaviour. It is especially difficult if the culture itself promotes colorism and discrimination based on things you don't choose. For example, my grandma who is an Iyer, refuse to associate in any way with Indians who are not same caste as her. And she taught the same to her children and grandchildren. Some of my cousins still refuse to eat with lower castes. I am ok with it but I don't tell my family if I eat with them. Later my family will make big fuss saying i am contaminated and impure...
this is a long-overdue issue..I believe in equality to all so we can strive together as Malaysians..no matter what the politicians are trying to do..we as the people should show to the world we are not easily controlled or brainwashed by others who have hidden agenda.
It's not so easy since some culture does not value equality, and have some sort of superiority complex. It is especially difficult if the culture itself promotes colorism and discrimination based on things you don't choose. For example, my grandma who is an Iyer, refuse to associate in any way with Indians who are not same caste as her. And she taught the same to her children and grandchildren. Some of my cousins still refuse to eat with lower castes. I am ok with it but I don't tell my family if I eat with them. Later my family will make big fuss saying i am contaminated and impure...

When I was young Malaysia was awesome... Malays Chinese and Indians were so close... Was common to see interracial relationships... everyone was so united... We could talk laugh together bout anything.... Years passed by see the same group of people becoming racist among one another... It's sad ... I miss Malaysia when it was nice to see people from different races getting together and hanging out together..... Glad Sabah n sarawak is still awesome like how it was.... Miss the early 2000s...
I studied in SK, I've alot of Malay friends than Tamizh yet I been go through all these! I think parents & teachers should really beware of children behavior. Poor kids might never know what they're doing.
Usually it is the sort of family environment that molds the children's behaviour.

Although we talk about this topic multiple times but the fact that nothing is gonna change is reality. I remember that I was fired for not knowing how to speak Mandarin.It just made me feel I wasn't good or eligible enough. Honestly we just need to cope with this racism.

@@txc-65jlx At first I had the same question in my head but then I figured out that I was just a temporary until they find a Mandarin speaking candidate.
I Am A Traveller that’s incorrect. Racism , colourism , casteism has existed for centuries before the British came . In the U.K. , equal opportunities for the minorities is stressed on and practised too .
As a Chinese, my experience with racism was only during covid when it was in the early stages. People especially girls would see me and whisper among themselves “Corona Corona” because covid supposedly came from China. My good friend who was a Chinese Muslim also went through this.
Feel bad for u bro..I got called as " Taliban" , but that was about last year. When I spoke Malay, they are shocked .....hahahaha, racial stereotypes still exist untill this moment tbh.
I think apart from deminishing existing subjects include this in the sivic subject(make it more prominent)..but then again tell me how many people take sivic subjects seriously..
malaysian here, and i'm a kadazan living in johor, growing up with malays all around me is normal, yet i still remember there are times when people call me orang utan just because they thought that sabah is such a rural area that they think its a city full of apes apparently, there are actually times when people discriminate me just because i'm not a muslim too, blaming every thing on my race and my own religion, "kristian kan support yahudi, kau pun samakn? tulh kau" it hurts me to see that such a simple problem could actually lead to such hatred, Nandini you're beautiful girl,you didnt let people's opinions bound you to the ground, be proud, stand tall queen, from your kadazan fan!
omg...peninsulars are always like this. I remember there was a sarawak girl in class, this boy made fun of her like imitating climbing tree and blowing blowpipes.
When I continued my tertiary education in Kuala Lumpur, I recieved that kind of treatment too. One of guys asked if I used the sampan to come to West Malaysia and he proceeded to laugh and snort in between. Needless to say I was so offended and told my older sister about it. She said the next time anyone tries to belittle you in that manner, don't get angry but be sarcastic and say Yes we live on trees and when we want to watch tv we don't need antanaes or any satellite dish; we get instant tv coverage! And we swing from tree to tree when we need to move about; we don't need vehicles 🤪
even if we Malays and I believed Indian be offered in jobs in Chinese company (majority of them), the salary that are paid are different because workers other than Chinese will be paid lower compared to Chinese, same goes if they are Muslims regardless race...
I experienced this when I was working in a resort. My Chinese office mates get paid higher basics than I get even we started job at the same time with same level of position. My Chinese friend, she could not agree with the managers discrimination towards us non Chinese and asked me and other Indian friend to go and see the manager. however the manager remained with his decision. He was racist..many of my work mates despites their races hates his discrimination
Yeah, I was the one who incharge for salary, that's how it work, they pay chinese more than malay even those chinese know nothing about works.. but those same chinese blame Malay for all the racism happen in Malaysia and act innocent which is so hypocrite.
Very well said, everything was laid-out like an open book. I grew up in a kampung with Malay and Serani neighbours and we were like a close-knit family, we (the kids) would come out and play every evening, I had some of my best childhood memories there. Nowadays, most children are not educated on the subject of racism as it's considered a sensitive issue. I really hope your video will open the eyes of our Malaysians, we must change first in order to change others.
*_As an Arab/African who studied in Malaysia, I can confirm that the racism is too much there, it's really very sad. But we got used to it specially after knowing that even Malaysian are racist to each others in term of religion, race, tribe and province. Who would imagine a whole residential buildings and blocks forbidden Africans to enter. What a shame_*
Thank you Nandini and SAYS for bringing up this topic. Growing up at school, we were always told by the principal to stop being racist and discriminating against other races but at the same time, during co-curricular activities (you know that one on every Wednesday) often times, we were told to queue according to our races and gender. I also agree with the Malay's privileges, despite being a Malay. What we should do is create an incentive for people underqualified to make sure they get work to do and a house to live in, not to make sure that certain races get an education, a job, and a house to live in. We are supposed to fight poverty, not making other races fell into poverty. I talked to one of my Chinese friends that with their result, he could easily get admitted to one of our top local universities but because of his race, he has to go to study in Singapore instead. And the saddest thing is, whenever I talked about this topic, I am labelled as "pengkhianat bangsa". One of my friends, who claimed to have study History also said that Malays should always get a privilege because apparently, in one of agreement before we formed Malaysia, it was said that in any case of Malaysia getting invaded by another country, other races except Bumiputera will go back to their origin countries. I cannot confirm if this is true or if she's talking nonsense because I just disagree with that. If it is true then clearly that agreement needs an amendment. What "origin countries"? They are born and raised in Malaysia, this is their "origin countries". Those who said that other races should go back to their own countries, you are stupid. This is their country. Let them feel at home in their own home. "Hujan emas di negeri orang, hujan batu di negeri sendiri. Lebih baik di negeri sendiri." Tapi patutkah kita terasa dibaling batu di negara sendiri?
A friend passed this video link to me through a group chat and when I first watched the video, I laughed quite loudly when she voiced what the different races are calling each other and thought she is a comedian who is talking about races to help people lighten up. The words used to describe the Chinese, Malays and Indians were indeed familiar to me when I was young. I myself had used some of those words to disparage a certain race among friends and also family out of an abundance of ignorance. Now I am so embarrassed at myself for taking race relations so lightly. Stereotyping can foster racial disunity and hate. I am glad my child is more open-minded than her mum. You are never too old to gain knowledge! Nandini, thank you for helping me open my eyes and show tolerance and understanding towards all races!
Amen. As a Eurasian, i wasn't treated any different. I was told that I was a Penjajah because am half British or Orang Puteh. And, very amazed, when I can speak Malay well. I was also called Orang Bosnia during the conflict in the 90s; and that was from my beloved aunt. Amen to all you've said.
We need to talk about it honestly and openly, that is what we need...No more isu sensitive... We all experience rasism just differently and we need to not normalise acts of rasism. I think that is our biggest problem of all these acts of rasism is normalise to a point I think that even the persons who committed these acts are unaware that it is wrong and have a harmful psychological effect on other people.
A very good topic to discuss. I dont know why we should have racism issues in our community. We should be proud because we living in multiracial cultural. But i believe not all people are racist. Its depend on the individual behaviour itself. I have seen a lot of chinese, indian & malay people be a good friend including myself.
Hi Nandini, Firstly...Congratulations on your enthusiastic, flawless, funny & hyped up presentation. Lu punya cakap champion la, gua manyak suka. Kipidap! fyi I accidently bumped onto this video.
Thanks for bringing up most relevant topic. I take this opportunity to urge every fellow citizen of our country to identify our selves as a Malaysian and not divide as ethnics.
I lived in Malaysia for almost 7 years my very first shocking experience was at The Curve mall (2012) I saw a shop displaying a vacancy poster clearly stating that no Indians or Malays I was like what the blow How can they do that Than I realized to even rent a place I hat state that I am from UK or else they will ask me if I was a Nigerian or a Indian
Im not malaysian but i live in malaysia for about 3 yrs now( im chinese btw). Malaysian govt protects their own , the chinese community blames blames everything on govt, and the indians have no say in anything haha.
Alhamdulillah di Indonesia semua suku, semua ras, semua orang berbicara Bahasa Indonesia dengan lancar dan fasih. Kita saling menghormati dan menghargai setiap orang dan bertoleransi pada adat kebiasan yang berlaku. Salam damai untuk Malaysia....
Ye.. syukur di Indonesia begitu. Di Malaysia dari merdeka sudah diperjuangkan bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa kebangsaan Malaysia..Memang tetap bahas a Melayu itu menjadi bahasa rasmi Malaysia..Tetapi banyak dirosak oleh orang politik. Sebab politik warga Malaysia jadi kekadang racis
Kerana di malaysia ada sekolah untuk bangsa tertentu spti sekolah cina dan sekolah india. Dari situlah dalam minda bawah sedar anak" kecil sudah diajar untuk menjadi rasis. Bak kata pepatah melayu "hendak melentur buluh biarlah dari rebungnya". Lagi satu jika mau minta kerja interviewnya dalam bahasa inggeris, penulisan dlm urusan kerja dalam inggeris. Di situ perpaduan antara bangsa tidak menjadi kukuh. Salah satu faktor besar patriotisma dan perpaduan antara pelbagai kaum sesebuah negara adalah menerusi bahasa. Itu fakta.
How informative. Never heard others discuss racism so extensively and frankly. I am a black woman living in America. I gather I would not be accepted in Malaya? I am sure not everyone feels this way. There is comfort with this thought. Jesus is Love
I was rejecting to get a jobs in Kuala Lumpur many time (2007 to 2010) because Chinese said I'm Malay, and Malay said I'm not Malay. I'm sick racist in Mlalaysia.
im malay, been living as nomad since small... i got no malay friend during my primary school.. i got chinese fren cause its sjkc.. but my neighbour is indian.. every raya, we will invite them and while deepavali, then share all those muruku with us a day before 🥰🥰 but things change after secondary.. since i understand chns, i heard alot. but thing getting better when im enter the working world.. i got bestfriend from all racial.. i love it🥰
I am Singapore Chinese. My mother and I went to eat mee goreng at the local kopitiam (you can Google this word, not sure you used this word there), anyway is a shophouse with few food stalls. 1 Indian stall and 1 Chinese stall both sell mee goreng. My mother said "order from the Chinese, don't let the Indian earn our money." The Indian mee goreng actually tastes better, I tried before.😂
saya Melayu, dan hampir keseluruhan isi kandungan video ini benar. 10 tahun terkebelakang ini saya cuba sedaya upaya untuk tidak menjadi seorang yang racist. saya belajar untuk tidak melabel atau merendahkan mana - mana keturunan disekeliling saya. Melayu, Cina, India dan Bumiputra Yang Lain ada perangai buruk dan baik masing - masing dan semua tak sama. Thank to Nandini and this production make me MORE AWARE dan lebih sensitif tentang realiti apa yang berlaku. #stopracism
Same. Kebanyakkan melayu kalau racist dan toxic mereka akan guna agama untuk back-up dia punya ayat. Saya Melayu ni pun dah speechless dengan racist ni😟
The presentation and the narrator deserves 1000X applause. As a Filipino working here in Malaysia, I couldn't agree more. I love the energy and the vibes! Well done guys! Keep safe everyone.
Well after a long gap, I'm comment in your page Nandini. Very happy you made a best video ever. As u said, its in the system where need to altered. Rasicm its kind of lifestyle nowadays. Where back those days we still can see mixed friends around the corner. Kopitiam, mamak shop, chat house etc..etc... But now! Its like divided. Only one kind of group at one place. And when asked they were brought up that way. Its a bloody shocking to feel. Where are we leading to ??? No idea. Your video is so great to view n points as well indeed. I always admire your hair style color ofcoz lipstick my friend. Awesome gile. Stand out!!! Wic idiot commented your skin color. Tell em that only skin which got that tone its hard to get skin diseases. Not me saying, well known surgery n report experiment says. Google it up. I just love your skin tone. Solid one! Only expensive taste people knew it. Your are a Dark Angle my love! Kick those who buli you. Rascals. Overall its best video from you n team. For us to overcome, its has to be individuals duty to practice it. Whenever talk about rasicm issue sure next will be religious matters steps in. Which is still a damn sensitivity in mindset for a such a country call third world to first world. Nonsence damn it !!! Well my English is not perfecto as Nandini. You are rocking girl. Last but not least, even in middle east they not as this fanatic as here so called multicultural Malaysia. Please get tuned. God bless all.

Prefer Chinese / Prefer Malay ni sumpah aku tak faham pemahaman dorang ni terhadap perkataan PREFER tu.. Prefer bukan ke sepatutnya kau ok dgn kaum lain nak menyewa, tapi ko utamakan kaum tertentu?..Tapi kat Malaysia.. Prefer tu dah jadi kaum lain tak boleh sewa, hanya kaum yang tuan rumah nak je yang boleh.. Btw, aku melayu.. Housemate aku Chinese.. Dan Tuan Rumah Chinese... So greatful dorang baik.. 👍

These days the most common derogatory term i get called is ' bangla'. Some of the most neurotic people alive today are now in most current workplace. It doesnt help some are from rural areas/kampung, dont care la whichever ethicity, most dont want to mix.
I am so glad to see this video, I love you videos and your boldness, but this hits the top list. Thank you so much, those are the thing which some people kept in the heart and not dare enough to voice out. This is the step to change the way we think and act, knowingly and unknowingly. Love you!
I am currently in school and I was blown out by my Islam friend who told me other religions (especially indians) her exact words, did not belong in this country and are Haram.. They should be slaves instead.... I was heartbroken and I cried So much, still crying... I wish people put a stop to this...
Good job, Nandini. Recently watched a video, mentioning Islam has no place for racism, everybody is equal. Quite IRONY for Malaysia, who claim, it is an Islamic country, isn't it? We are all equal. Be kind, be honest to all. Love Malaysia and Malaysians.
Lagi satu, tolong la, rakyat Malaysia jangan la ada yg pergi luar negara cakap kat Malaysia ni racist. Canang kat luar negara, cari sokongan & publicity. Especially mat Salleh. Mereka tu kadang-kadang berfikiran extreme, mereka ingat racism kat Malaysia ni macam kat negara dia. Orang kena tembak. Kena bunuh. Orang kena buli kat jalanan sebab sesetengah bangsa tak suka. Kena ludah. Kena tarik tudung. Kena maki tak pasal-pasal. Kena attack. Dan sebagainya.
Thanks Nandini, what you've said is true. I don't really support racism. But somehow, sometime I may conciously or unconciously having racist thoughts or actions towards other races. So Im taking this time on behalf of myself and fellow Sabahan people, to apologize to all races in Malaysia for any racist acts or words we have done to you.
Nice topic. Teruskan biar sedar sikit mata dan hati org lain. asyik dilabel sbg Bangla bagai. Sekali tunjuk IC boleh pula ramah mesra. Pendapat sayalah kan, generasi terkini tiada Rasa racism tapi disebabkan old people plus adults punya perangai yg asyik label setiap kaum negatively. Sbb tu ianya jadi ikutan generasi sekarang.
True. It is especially difficult if the culture itself promotes colorism and discrimination based on things you don't choose. For example, my grandma who is an Iyer, refuse to associate in any way with Indians who are not same caste as her. And she taught the same to her children and grandchildren. Some of my cousins still refuse to eat with lower castes. I am ok with it but I don't tell my family if I eat with them. Later my family will make big fuss saying i am contaminated and impure...
Agreed with all your points. As a Malay, I'm kind of tired of hearing people of my race acting so entitled to everything just because of our race and treating other races like crap. What's worse is most of these people are orang kaya. Bukan perlu bantuan pun, cuma suka memintak. Does anybody have any tips on how to get my parents to stop using 'keling'? They don't really say it often but they get so offended when Indian people say that the word is offensive. I really don't get why they're so strong headed about it.
@@neniironman3827 Regardless, if they don't like to be called that & want to be called as Indians you should respect their preference. Religion & race of others should be respected if you want yours to be respected too.
@@neniironman3827 If you're alright with people calling you keling that's on you, don't force others to follow what you do. Majority have decided they don't like it, they prefer to be referred to as Indians so why so badly want to call them anything else anyways? If a group of people told me they don't like a particular word used to call them I won't use it, just use what they're comfortable with. What's so hard?
Interestingly, 2 months ago, when I was hunting for a room, I went view one. Surprised was I when I saw a large signboard written in front of the house, "Room for rent. Chinese only". The lady pretended it wasn't there, so did I. Then I tried contacting owners of premises that advertised they only that want chinese, and they layan me eventough I wasn't one. Made me conclude, during this Covid season, many of such ownerd realised, $ is what they need, irregardless from which race it comes from. What hypocrisy!
Brought tears to my eyes. I have faced racism but at the same time... I jokingly call some people sakai and jakun not realising that they belong to our orang asli. Thanks nandini for pointing this out
Well said! I realised now, how much I was cornered due to my 'kulitification' during my school days. Unknowingly I lost my freedom of speech, begun to be a quiet person. I am talking about back in 80s. Destiny has made me to settle in different country in late 90s. I regained my confidence after that because of equal opportunity system here and people respecting your way, thinking and ideas regardless of your background. I am happy my children have no idea what is racism and they never experience it. Support you and your work. Bless you and do well :)

This was a much needed topic to be raised...Many Malaysians are racists and feel its okey to be racist but no one speaks of it and its a topic mostly swept under the rug and never brought into discussions. Finally we are addressing the issue publicly and hopefully people realise and stop treating people based on race,colour. We are all one race the human race.

It's been taught unconsciously since young. How so? Through segregated school streams based on race.
@@atengku9660 Nope, i studied in SK, the most racist stream out there, the ustazahs tell how your religion is not true on your faced etc and other bullshits, doesnt happen in Chinese or Tamil schools. can ask your Malay children who are studying in Chinese Schools, stop blaming other streams and look at SKs, the are like freaking Sekolah Agama.
@@reald3d23 Make a report then. You are playing devil's advocate by saying Chinese schools are not racist? Do you know that they look down on those who have brown skin? Even Malays are considered dark for them. For your information, there are no countries which have school streams based on race. America is diverse. Even early immigrants which are not English speaking were subject to humiliation and banned from speaking their parents language (including those from European descent). Today, all Americans speak English. Our school system is a colonial's legacy where they thought that the pendatang will be go back to their motherland. Even Singapore don't have vernacular schools anymore. You are labelling SK as racist because of one ustazah. That's racist. Is it fair for a person to label Indians as robbers and gangsters just because that person encountered that from an Indian?
My classmates likes to tease and bully my black friend. But I'm glad that she's okay.
been in west Malaysia for quite sometime mixed with of course malay, chinese & india and learned a lot on each race mentality & character, lucky we in sarawak are much understand each other more

This is the reason why i always root for everyone going to the same school aka a school which is racially diverse since primary years.By giving everyone exposure to different races and cultures at a young age, kids will learn to be more acceptable of other people cultures and races. I was in a racially diverse school in my primary years and i always thought there was nothing wrong to be friends with other people who are not the same religion and race as me. But when i enter my secondary school( who is mostly malay), it was disgusting to see how some of my classmates treats my indian friends. The most offensive thing was they asked me how can i be friends with an indian girl,and the exact words were' dhlaa dorang tu hitam lpstu sembah patung ko tu x malu ke berkawan dgn dorang'. I was soo angry i slapped the boy straight and gave him a piece of my mind. Lets just say that i was not popular with some people bcos they said i 'betrayed' my people bcos i defended my friend.

I never intended to watch the full video being Kenyan but the girl is just fantabulous. In Kenya, being mostly black; we discriminate on tribes.
This is why no one believes racism will ever truly end. Once we're all the same shade in 10,000 years we'll still discriminate against each other, just for different reason. Humanity needs to evolve, and quick.
Funny how Indians complain of racism when abroad when they themselves discriminate against the tribals in india and look down on them . Marriage advertising is full of people looking for a fair complexioned bride. . There are also a multitude of castes who are either considered high or low and some medium level ! And they don’t inter marry as much as possible . Coming to inter religious marriages like Hindu - Muslim , that’s a big no no most of the time . Coming to Malaysia where Chinese are considered superior , in the west they complain when they experience racism . It seems human beings are unique in that they desire to look down on other human beings using some lame excuse or the other .
@@revanth3508
At the bottom is we the blacks, even the blackest of Indians has an attitude towards us.
Manasses Kamau I understand that and that’s absolutely wrong . I read a comment that among the blacks there is discrimination based on tribes. I have also heard a mixed race - Afro caribbean and white say that in her dads country of origin lighter skin if favoured to dark skin and skin lightening creams have a big market in Africa too . Inherently human beings are the only species with this mind set of needing to dominate another human based on something or the other .

I’m so sorry you had to go through what you did as a student. It makes me sad. That must have hurt your feelings. Growing up in the east, we don’t have many Indians here.

Sadly, ppl like us are only a small percentage of this country :( most of them are prejudiced and aren't even open to commit to having interracial friendships. I come from a school that has all races and nationalities mixed together, so when I came out, I'm actually surprised to see groups that are sticking only to their own race. I tend to avoid them. Kinda uncomfortable seeing them so segregated, I don't see the need to be. #saynotoracism
@@lulu9421 it is similar when this group of people study abroad. They only flock together with their own kind, never to branch out. Such a waste of opportunities.
@@daisuke910 correct.
The problem is, kids in Malaysia attend their own schools. Chinese have their own schools, Indians have their own schools, Malays have their own schools. So kids are raised not really socialising and connecting with kids of other races. So the differences between the races is compounded once they grow up. Make most schools in Malaysia just 1 school of all races first, and while I don't think that will solve all of the racist problem, it could make a significant difference.
I kinda understand this argument. But historically chinese and indians want to uphold their mother tongue... If vernacular schools are abolished, ppl from those communities will feel as if their culture is being eroded. Especially since there are many vernacular schools that have been around longer than malaysia has been a country.
@@phadenswandemil4345 I did not say close all vernacular schools, I said close most. While having vernacular schools is great to hold each race's respective cultural practices, it doesn't help in making kids of different racial backgrounds grow up viewing each other as neighbours and friends as opposed to strangers. Compromise Malaysian schools curriculum to accomodate subjects to teach intercultural exchange, such as options to learn other languages, and make English the medium of instruction. IF we are to keep the status quo, then the divisiveness will always be there. Compromise, can't have the best of both worlds
Unity schools won't attain the desired results, even now, the children friends with thier own race groups, during my school days the teachers paired us with the same race beside the desk😎
@@phadenswandemil4345 It's weird when Indian or Chinese is not ready to change. I thought Malay will be the hardest.
ill only agree if 1. Follow singapore style where all children must learn mother tongue and sit for that exams in kebangsaan school. 2. All public university must accept all malaysian children according to grades. No quota system, where if you are malay, you will not only have better chances of getting university(not to mention malay only public university) , you will also get scholarships like mara,jpl easily. No use having so called kebangsaan school to promote unity, when once you finish spm, you will immediately find out that you(non-bumi kid) are, in fact, born into a rasist constitution.
Racism doesn't only exist in Malaysia, but also around the world unfortunately... Educating the people is the key, especially the young. Being a Malay, I am certainly proud to call Nandini my "sister"... Huge respect.
True true
Yes, but unlike other countries that doesn’t dicriminate races in their constituency unlike Malaysia where race get you more opportunities.
@@brendanaeria9913 Yes so obvious
@@brendanaeria9913 not true,I think people who can speak chinese is much easier to get job than malay or indian itself,if u know than you know
How dare you compare the racism in Malaysia to elsewhere when you know nothing about the country. Before commenting your should have read out constitution that places on race above others. Then, you could have gone on ti study the New Economic Policy that includes numerous laws that discriminate against 43% of the population. After that you could learn about the restrictions on religions other than Islam or investigated Putrajaya, a new city built to exclude non Muslims and to hide their very existence.
Now, tell me what other countries you had in mind "around the world".
We love our indian and chinese friends or even mix race friends. So many beautiful people in here. And yummy food. Even tourist want to retired in here. Malaysia is beautiful country. Because of beautiful people with different ethnics and race. Its not just a place but its a people. Alhamdulilah.
Maybe its not about what is out there but whats in here 💜😉😊
Bila kita x kenal style kaum lain, kita mungkin senang sakah faham. Cara org cina bila bertutur mmg nampak kurang sopan tapi mmg style mereka cara itu tapi saya tahu mereka xde apa apa niat buruk. Bila mereka cakap sesama sendiri pun sama je. Straight forward to the point tak de nak manis manis kan conversation. Tapi bila dah kenal, kita tahu pa itu cara sopan santun mereka. Kaum lain pun kena tahu budaya melayu dgn lebih supaya kita boleh kurangkan salah faham. Melayu biasanya mmg sgt sopan dan suka bila kamu senyun dan bercakap dgn tone yang lembut sikit. Every race has different style. India is easiest going. Steady. Mereka ok je dgn style mana mana. Senang adapt
Mostly Malay are racist can be notice by theirs behaviour and expressions they are good with tourist only for earning
1st thing that all Malay always ask are you muslim
We cant say because some are bad. All are bad. Like every part in the world. People just people. But good people do exist. Its not the place but its people make it different.
Looking at you is like looking at paddle pop ice cream. Totally colourful, just like your personality!

As a Malaysian Chinese, I remember when our former Financial Minister Lim Guan Eng said that he identified himself as a “Malaysian” and not a “Chinese”, the backlash he received in the Chinese community is freaking insane.
Not to said that we can’t even solve racism within the Chinese community.
When a Chinese can’t speak Mandarin because he/she was educated in an International school or overseas, they are often being looked down by other Chinese, especially older generation.
Majority speaks over logic, if you’re skillful make sure you change majority to logic side
@@Rajomega1 that can change to the "logic side" but can't be done alone, ma fren. People like us must stick together and set an example so others will follow suit and be more open-minded and respectful. Step in and speak out when you see unjust racism happening. Again this can't be done alone as the situation may be dangerous to do so, so with bystander effects, when one step in, others may slowly follow.
@@lulu9421 but the thing is racism is often treated like joke in most workplace and school
@@Rajomega1 because nobody stepped in during the early stages, allowing it to develop and be normalised to a point even the affected race group thinks it's funny and it's okay.

Why China? Shouldn't we explore how we can make MALAYSIA the best it can?
@Ilmu. .Pengetahuan
We can't deny the fact that we do have ultra racist in Msia, albeit a small percentage. They are the loudest, stick out like a sore thumb and difficult to forget. Hence, the "exaggeration" (probably). That's good to know.
@Ilmu. .Pengetahuan
Haha...I don't know any those people to agree with you that they are racist. But I do know that politicians are the main contributor to racism in M'sia.

Agreed
We need to reexamine the upbringings of our future generations to be blind towards racism. Kudos for speaking out on this video Nandini!
True. It is especially difficult if the culture itself promotes colorism and discrimination based on things you don't choose. For example, my grandma who is an Iyer, refuse to associate in any way with Indians who are not same caste as her. And she taught the same to her children and grandchildren. Some of my cousins still refuse to eat with lower castes. I am ok with it but I don't tell my family if I eat with them. Later my family will make big fuss saying i am contaminated and impure...
I feel you and sorry for what you been through. I totally been through same thing as you .
I was dark due to joining a lot of school sport activity when I was in Sekolah kebangsaan plus some more I’m Indian ,other kids always bully me and name call “keling” ,”bau Kari “ which made my self esteem down until I don’t want to go to school anymore or far more worse feel alone in a crowd . But now when I’m a little fair the society treat me differently and not as bad as when I was kid ,some don’t even believe me or ask me why am I fair for an Indian🤦🏻♀️ and your right the treatment are different based on racial .
Racism will never stop unless we unite together and create awareness about it !
Nandini, i totally agree with you. with LOVE from Sarawak. Despites Racism, Still proud to be Malaysian. It is our duty, to make Malaysia a better place to live. Don't blame on a single race for bad things happened to us, all are responsible. Thanks for this video.
Im malay, and I love your video. Everything you said are true. The thing i always keep in my mind "i will respect whoever respect me".
Nah i'm a cashier..and I faced a lot racism and rude customer almost everyday..they talk shit about us infront of us..
if they don't like how we do they will complain a lot..some like to throw the things they buy at counter and ask us to packed their things quickly..some ask us rudely..pastu dgn mata pandang orang atas bawah🙄..
If we charge plastic bag they will complain lah..some like to talk bad infront of us with their own mother tongue ..(Walaupun kami x faham tapi kami tahu lah🌚)
I don't want to care what races are you from..I have met a lot of racist people and faced racism from every races..
I faced racism since primary school tho..kadang orang fikir kita buduh jadi mereka akan cakap buruk tentang kita dpn kita.. sedangkan kita tahu apa yg mereka katakan tapi cuma kita xdpt nak react Macam mana..
No need to compare who are more racist ..
Don't talk shit about other races lah..dan jngn dgr cakap sngt org tua yang memburukkan mana² bangsa..masa kecik kita mungkin ada di ajar benda yg x baik oleh keluarga kita x kisah lah sapa..
kadang kita membesar dgn apa yg kita dengar masa kecil..
kalau kita selalu dgr ooh bangsa ini itu ini..tapi sebenarnya drng x pon..bnykkan bergaul dengan bangsa yg berlainan..jangan hanya nak berkawan dgn bangsa kita sendiri je..kita satu Malaysia jadi bnykkan bergaul dgn bangsa yg lain jadi kita dapat mengenali lebih mendalam tentang mereka.. jangan dengar apa yg orang kata tentang bangsa mereka tapi kita sendiri yang patut cari kebenaran sebenar..adakah mereka itu ini..tidak.. walaupun kita beza agama dan bangsa tapi kita adalah satu.
Malaysia has racism..
But I want to tell you we are not the most racist country in the world btch..
why Ada manusia yg sangat buduh pergi percaya itu Google?🌚 Google kata Malaysia negara yg paling racist kepala hang☠️budak 10 tahun pon boleh buat web macam tu ler..
Kita mmnglah bnyk yg racist..kau patut bersyukur kita racist nih kebanyakan pakai mulut je.. perbuatan pon ada gak tapi xler bnyk..
Boleh compare kot ngr kita dgn ngr luar sana yg tgh banyak isu racism ..Kita nih racist pon xde nya kita tembak, bunuh orang yg lain bangsa dengan kita..
Example Aku melayu aku x suka bangsa z jadi aku pon bunuh bangsa z tu sbb menyampah x suka drng kat ngr aku..itu lain citer ler Beb..itu dah kes jenayah weh..
Kat luar ngr sana bnyk yg racist sampai pukul,bunuh,tolak,tembak tanpa sebab..kita nih patut bersyukur racist kita nih bnyk pakai mulut, media sosial je..
Sebab tu Malaysia nih mulut pedas Grr..jngn main² dgn orang Malaysia
Kalau kau jumpa org yg racist jngn bwk masuk campur bangsa mrk,xkesah dia bangsa apa sekalipun..x payah nak claim ooh dia racist jadi bangsa dia bnyk yg racist..
Dia racist pon itu mencerminkan diri dia sendiri..
Kita nih bnyk yg suka bergurau tapi kena jaga² sikit dgn perkataan kita..kena jaga sensitiviti agama dan kaum..jangan buat gurauan tentang agama mereka.. respect itu je yg penting..
Dan lagi satu..kau x suka jadi Malaysian..unmalaysian je diri kau sendiri x perlu nak cakap pasal buruk negara kau sendiri..kau fikir ngr kat luar sana tu rasa macam heaven ler Tu huh?..Setiap ngr pon ada masalah..hanya rakyat mereka sendiri je tau..
Kalau org luar ngr datang sendiri bercuti ke, menetap kat sini kau x payah nak acah baik sangat okyh aku gigit hang kang nanti..
Drng buat content pasal Malaysia drng suka dgn Malaysia dan tinggal kat sini..ada beberapa ekor khinzir kat ruangan comment..dok comment "not a great decision " " not a great decision to live here" kepala hang lah dia suka Malaysia suka hati dia ler..and not a great decision god created you puihh
Jadi kau patut bangga dilahirkan menjadi rakyat Malaysia..kau benci pon kau pasti akan bangga jadi rakyat Malaysia..x payah menipu ler☠️
Abaikan English aku yg mengarut tu

Support anti-racism but tolak unity. Didn't see any advantage for native to support unity.
I agreed
In Singapore, all children go to the same school regardless of race. Lee Kuan Yew himself abolished Chinese schools when Singapore left Malaysia.
@@fightseekermma5784 I have to agree with you. Saya adalah produk sek kebangsaan tahun 1974-1982 dan saya fasih 3 bahasa tetapi anak muda sekarang hanya tumpu kepada bahasa ibunda masing2.

@@wakaka666 Yes, those are private Chinese schools. Just like there are small portion of private Chinese schools in Bangkok and Jakarta.
You know what Nandini? I feel like adopting you as my new sibling in a Malay, Muslim family. My point is, we're uniquely born with different yet distinctive qualities which diversify our every little advantage to complement unfulfilled needs that we're fated to own since the very first day our mothers pushed us out of their wombs. Two thumbs up for everything you clarified. Really love the ways you expressed your non-judgemental points. Hey! We're family now! 🤗😘😍
White, chinese kid from Malaysia here:))
I'm very aware about the racism issue in this country, even though I'm partly white, people would always ask "what are you" like i'm a different species. It isnt all bad compared to the darker skinned people though ngl, my mom is still sort of racist, when i was young, she told me "don't let the bangla catch you." Looking back, i believe it is indeed very wrong. Each one of us had experience racism at some point of our lives, just keep calm and educate:)))
If your mother is racist then your racist
@@sarwinraaj3457 why would you think that? And it's "you're" not "your".
Very true scenario. Good job Nandhini. What about sending this to the politicians to begin with. We are so badly affected by racism and this is definitely to do with erasing the true history and poisoing minds especially the young minds. They are sinners for doing so!
I am a patriotic Malaysian and I love Malaysia and I pray that my fellow Malaysians are not blinded by the people in power.
👍
It really boil down to the sort of family you come from. Politicians who are racists were raised in families whose culture influence their mindset and behaviour. It is especially difficult if the culture itself promotes colorism and discrimination based on things you don't choose. For example, my grandma who is an Iyer, refuse to associate in any way with Indians who are not same caste as her. And she taught the same to her children and grandchildren. Some of my cousins still refuse to eat with lower castes. I am ok with it but I don't tell my family if I eat with them. Later my family will make big fuss saying i am contaminated and impure...
They just accumulated theirs karma
this is a long-overdue issue..I believe in equality to all so we can strive together as Malaysians..no matter what the politicians are trying to do..we as the people should show to the world we are not easily controlled or brainwashed by others who have hidden agenda.
It's not so easy since some culture does not value equality, and have some sort of superiority complex. It is especially difficult if the culture itself promotes colorism and discrimination based on things you don't choose. For example, my grandma who is an Iyer, refuse to associate in any way with Indians who are not same caste as her. And she taught the same to her children and grandchildren. Some of my cousins still refuse to eat with lower castes. I am ok with it but I don't tell my family if I eat with them. Later my family will make big fuss saying i am contaminated and impure...
So refreshing n heartening to read your comment. Tq. Hv a great life ahead. You deserve it. God bless you.
i really love nandini with short hair... beautifull woman with brown skin. that look very very expensive ... 😍😍😍 ..nice to meet u nandini.. frm indonesia🎉
When I was young Malaysia was awesome... Malays Chinese and Indians were so close... Was common to see interracial relationships... everyone was so united... We could talk laugh together bout anything.... Years passed by see the same group of people becoming racist among one another... It's sad ... I miss Malaysia when it was nice to see people from different races getting together and hanging out together..... Glad Sabah n sarawak is still awesome like how it was.... Miss the early 2000s...
I studied in SK, I've alot of Malay friends than Tamizh yet I been go through all these! I think parents & teachers should really beware of children behavior. Poor kids might never know what they're doing.
Usually it is the sort of family environment that molds the children's behaviour. It is especially difficult if the culture itself promotes colorism and discrimination based on things you don't choose. For example, my grandma who is an Iyer, refuse to associate in any way with Indians who are not same caste as her. And she taught the same to her children and grandchildren.

Thank you for talking about this!
Although we talk about this topic multiple times but the fact that nothing is gonna change is reality. I remember that I was fired for not knowing how to speak Mandarin.It just made me feel I wasn't good or eligible enough. Honestly we just need to cope with this racism.

This is one of the best video i've ever watched on yt yet how this only has 42k viewss
As a Chinese, my experience with racism was only during covid when it was in the early stages. People especially girls would see me and whisper among themselves “Corona Corona” because covid supposedly came from China. My good friend who was a Chinese Muslim also went through this.
Well even Chinese are racists to dark skin people so yah? 🤦
Feel bad for u bro..I got called as " Taliban" , but that was about last year. When I spoke Malay, they are shocked .....hahahaha, racial stereotypes still exist untill this moment tbh.

Hi nandini, can you do a video on the present situation on malaysian history book which has erased the minorities sacrifices to Malaysia n malaya🙏❤️
wait wdym?
malaysian here, and i'm a kadazan living in johor, growing up with malays all around me is normal, yet i still remember there are times when people call me orang utan just because they thought that sabah is such a rural area that they think its a city full of apes apparently, there are actually times when people discriminate me just because i'm not a muslim too, blaming every thing on my race and my own religion, "kristian kan support yahudi, kau pun samakn? tulh kau" it hurts me to see that such a simple problem could actually lead to such hatred,
Nandini you're beautiful girl,you didnt let people's opinions bound you to the ground, be proud, stand tall queen,
from your kadazan fan!
Love what you wrote!
I'm sorry for you! I hope things will get better.
omg...peninsulars are always like this. I remember there was a sarawak girl in class, this boy made fun of her like imitating climbing tree and blowing blowpipes.
When I continued my tertiary education in Kuala Lumpur, I recieved that kind of treatment too. One of guys asked if I used the sampan to come to West Malaysia and he proceeded to laugh and snort in between. Needless to say I was so offended and told my older sister about it. She said the next time anyone tries to belittle you in that manner, don't get angry but be sarcastic and say Yes we live on trees and when we want to watch tv we don't need antanaes or any satellite dish; we get instant tv coverage! And we swing from tree to tree when we need to move about; we don't need vehicles 🤪
But to be honest, there is no need to be offended, I think being indigenous is the coolest thing anyone can be.
I'm Malay and I agreed with you. Anyway you spoken good in English and Bahasa. Great to see it. 👍👍
Idhu pudhu series ku vazhthukkal, Nandini akka!
Everyone should start sharing this...
even if we Malays and I believed Indian be offered in jobs in Chinese company (majority of them), the salary that are paid are different because workers other than Chinese will be paid lower compared to Chinese, same goes if they are Muslims regardless race...
yeah true. my dad is now a GM in a chinese company but once when he was a senior manager , his chinese assistant was paid higher than him :(
I experienced this when I was working in a resort. My Chinese office mates get paid higher basics than I get even we started job at the same time with same level of position. My Chinese friend, she could not agree with the managers discrimination towards us non Chinese and asked me and other Indian friend to go and see the manager. however the manager remained with his decision. He was racist..many of my work mates despites their races hates his discrimination
Yeah, I was the one who incharge for salary, that's how it work, they pay chinese more than malay even those chinese know nothing about works.. but those same chinese blame Malay for all the racism happen in Malaysia and act innocent which is so hypocrite.
some people say it's cuz chinese speak chinese and chinese hard so more pay and monehhh. idk i think it's wrong
Very well said, everything was laid-out like an open book. I grew up in a kampung with Malay and Serani neighbours and we were like a close-knit family, we (the kids) would come out and play every evening, I had some of my best childhood memories there.
Nowadays, most children are not educated on the subject of racism as it's considered a sensitive issue. I really hope your video will open the eyes of our Malaysians, we must change first in order to change others.
*_As an Arab/African who studied in Malaysia, I can confirm that the racism is too much there, it's really very sad. But we got used to it specially after knowing that even Malaysian are racist to each others in term of religion, race, tribe and province. Who would imagine a whole residential buildings and blocks forbidden Africans to enter. What a shame_*
Truuuuee😢😢most racist
Thank you Nandini and SAYS for bringing up this topic. Growing up at school, we were always told by the principal to stop being racist and discriminating against other races but at the same time, during co-curricular activities (you know that one on every Wednesday) often times, we were told to queue according to our races and gender.
I also agree with the Malay's privileges, despite being a Malay. What we should do is create an incentive for people underqualified to make sure they get work to do and a house to live in, not to make sure that certain races get an education, a job, and a house to live in. We are supposed to fight poverty, not making other races fell into poverty. I talked to one of my Chinese friends that with their result, he could easily get admitted to one of our top local universities but because of his race, he has to go to study in Singapore instead.
And the saddest thing is, whenever I talked about this topic, I am labelled as "pengkhianat bangsa". One of my friends, who claimed to have study History also said that Malays should always get a privilege because apparently, in one of agreement before we formed Malaysia, it was said that in any case of Malaysia getting invaded by another country, other races except Bumiputera will go back to their origin countries. I cannot confirm if this is true or if she's talking nonsense because I just disagree with that. If it is true then clearly that agreement needs an amendment. What "origin countries"? They are born and raised in Malaysia, this is their "origin countries".
Those who said that other races should go back to their own countries, you are stupid. This is their country. Let them feel at home in their own home. "Hujan emas di negeri orang, hujan batu di negeri sendiri. Lebih baik di negeri sendiri." Tapi patutkah kita terasa dibaling batu di negara sendiri?
Since when did every issue in Malaysia has to follow that western vibes...
@@MVPA-io5ee what do you mean by western vibes?
You're pretty, Nandini. Inside out 🦋🦋🦋
keep it up guys... but i believe, as this video contains a powerful message, it should be uploaded during the primetime rather than late night..
A friend passed this video link to me through a group chat and when I first watched the video, I laughed quite loudly when she voiced what the different races are calling each other and thought she is a comedian who is talking about races to help people lighten up. The words used to describe the Chinese, Malays and Indians were indeed familiar to me when I was young. I myself had used some of those words to disparage a certain race among friends and also family out of an abundance of ignorance. Now I am so embarrassed at myself for taking race relations so lightly. Stereotyping can foster racial disunity and hate. I am glad my child is more open-minded than her mum. You are never too old to gain knowledge! Nandini, thank you for helping me open my eyes and show tolerance and understanding towards all races!
Amen. As a Eurasian, i wasn't treated any different. I was told that I was a Penjajah because am half British or Orang Puteh. And, very amazed, when I can speak Malay well. I was also called Orang Bosnia during the conflict in the 90s; and that was from my beloved aunt. Amen to all you've said.
Bro you look like malay
We need to talk about it honestly and openly, that is what we need...No more isu sensitive... We all experience rasism just differently and we need to not normalise acts of rasism. I think that is our biggest problem of all these acts of rasism is normalise to a point I think that even the persons who committed these acts are unaware that it is wrong and have a harmful psychological effect on other people.
Agree with nadini.. Abolished sekolah jenis kebangsaan..
A very good topic to discuss. I dont know why we should have racism issues in our community. We should be proud because we living in multiracial cultural. But i believe not all people are racist. Its depend on the individual behaviour itself. I have seen a lot of chinese, indian & malay people be a good friend including myself.
Hi Nandini, Firstly...Congratulations on your enthusiastic, flawless, funny & hyped up presentation. Lu punya cakap champion la, gua manyak suka. Kipidap! fyi I accidently bumped onto this video.
Thanks for bringing up most relevant topic. I take this opportunity to urge every fellow citizen of our country to identify our selves as a Malaysian and not divide as ethnics.
I lived in Malaysia for almost 7 years my very first shocking experience was at The Curve mall (2012) I saw a shop displaying a vacancy poster clearly stating that no Indians or Malays
I was like what the blow

Alhamdulillah di Indonesia semua suku, semua ras, semua orang berbicara Bahasa Indonesia dengan lancar dan fasih. Kita saling menghormati dan menghargai setiap orang dan bertoleransi pada adat kebiasan yang berlaku. Salam damai untuk Malaysia....
Ye.. syukur di Indonesia begitu. Di Malaysia dari merdeka sudah diperjuangkan bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa kebangsaan Malaysia..Memang tetap bahas a Melayu itu menjadi bahasa rasmi Malaysia..Tetapi banyak dirosak oleh orang politik. Sebab politik warga Malaysia jadi kekadang racis
Kerana di malaysia ada sekolah untuk bangsa tertentu spti sekolah cina dan sekolah india. Dari situlah dalam minda bawah sedar anak" kecil sudah diajar untuk menjadi rasis. Bak kata pepatah melayu "hendak melentur buluh biarlah dari rebungnya". Lagi satu jika mau minta kerja interviewnya dalam bahasa inggeris, penulisan dlm urusan kerja dalam inggeris. Di situ perpaduan antara bangsa tidak menjadi kukuh.
Salah satu faktor besar patriotisma dan perpaduan antara pelbagai kaum sesebuah negara adalah menerusi bahasa. Itu fakta.
How informative. Never heard others discuss racism so extensively and frankly. I am a black woman living in America. I gather I would not be accepted in Malaya? I am sure not everyone feels this way. There is comfort with this thought. Jesus is Love
U would get accepted, u just need to find the correct place.... In my area in setapak, there's a lot of mainland Africans living there....
I was rejecting to get a jobs in Kuala Lumpur many time (2007 to 2010) because Chinese said I'm Malay, and Malay said I'm not Malay. I'm sick racist in Mlalaysia.

I am Singapore Chinese. My mother and I went to eat mee goreng at the local kopitiam (you can Google this word, not sure you used this word there), anyway is a shophouse with few food stalls. 1 Indian stall and 1 Chinese stall both sell mee goreng. My mother said "order from the Chinese, don't let the Indian earn our money." The Indian mee goreng actually tastes better, I tried before.😂
saya Melayu, dan hampir keseluruhan isi kandungan video ini benar. 10 tahun terkebelakang ini saya cuba sedaya upaya untuk tidak menjadi seorang yang racist. saya belajar untuk tidak melabel atau merendahkan mana - mana keturunan disekeliling saya.

Thank to Nandini and this production make me MORE AWARE dan lebih sensitif tentang realiti apa yang berlaku.

As u said, its in the system where need to altered. Rasicm its kind of lifestyle nowadays. Where back those days we still can see mixed friends around the corner. Kopitiam, mamak shop, chat house etc..etc... But now! Its like divided. Only one kind of group at one place. And when asked they were brought up that way. Its a bloody shocking to feel. Where are we leading to ???
No idea.
Your video is so great to view n points as well indeed. I always admire your hair style color ofcoz lipstick my friend. Awesome gile. Stand out!!!
Wic idiot commented your skin color. Tell em that only skin which got that tone its hard to get skin diseases. Not me saying, well known surgery n report experiment says. Google it up. I just love your skin tone. Solid one! Only expensive taste people knew it. Your are a Dark Angle my love! Kick those who buli you. Rascals.
Overall its best video from you n team. For us to overcome, its has to be individuals duty to practice it. Whenever talk about rasicm issue sure next will be religious matters steps in. Which is still a damn sensitivity in mindset for a such a country call third world to first world. Nonsence damn it !!!
Well my English is not perfecto as Nandini. You are rocking girl.
Last but not least, even in middle east they not as this fanatic as here so called multicultural Malaysia. Please get tuned. God bless all.
I'm feels really sorry for that, really aware on the bad situation we're facing .But just wanna said ,sincerely you're really beautiful ❤️
Sometime my friends make fun of others race little did t know i m not pure malay. Half indian and half arab
If you are half Indian and half Arab, how did the Malay bit come into the picture?
@@sallieceelee5660 granfather both mom and dad come from both country and some of us look malay some look mix like me some totally look foreigner like my mom and dad. And my both grandmother is malay.
Prefer Chinese / Prefer Malay ni sumpah aku tak faham pemahaman dorang ni terhadap perkataan PREFER tu.. Prefer bukan ke sepatutnya kau ok dgn kaum lain nak menyewa, tapi ko utamakan kaum tertentu?..Tapi kat Malaysia.. Prefer tu dah jadi kaum lain tak boleh sewa, hanya kaum yang tuan rumah nak je yang boleh..
Btw, aku melayu.. Housemate aku Chinese.. Dan Tuan Rumah Chinese... So greatful dorang baik.. 👍
Untung dia tulis prefer, kadang dia tulis bahasa cina terus, sepatah haram tak boleh baca oi 😂
Maybe sesetengah tuan rumah x nak penyewa makan or bela benda yg haram..kan kena samak
@@cikmeow2050 lol.. Xpayah letak perkataan "prefer" la senang. Ckp je xnak chinese menyewa kan senang.. Paham ke idok apa yg aku tulis kat atas tu?.. 🤦🏻♂️
@@manfredd36 bro.... Kalau kita compare "prefer" and "don't want" kan.... Prefer lgi lembut and baik tau....
@@Noshtyyy bukan masalah lembut tak lembut, masalahnya penggunaan perkataan prefer tu tak tepat.. Paham?.. Brooo?
These days the most common derogatory term i get called is ' bangla'. Some of the most neurotic people alive today are now in most current workplace. It doesnt help some are from rural areas/kampung, dont care la whichever ethicity, most dont want to mix.
I am so glad to see this video, I love you videos and your boldness, but this hits the top list. Thank you so much, those are the thing which some people kept in the heart and not dare enough to voice out. This is the step to change the way we think and act, knowingly and unknowingly.
Love you!
I am currently in school and I was blown out by my Islam friend who told me other religions (especially indians) her exact words, did not belong in this country and are Haram.. They should be slaves instead.... I was heartbroken and I cried So much, still crying... I wish people put a stop to this...
Good job, Nandini. Recently watched a video, mentioning Islam has no place for racism, everybody is equal. Quite IRONY for Malaysia, who claim, it is an Islamic country, isn't it? We are all equal. Be kind, be honest to all. Love Malaysia and Malaysians.
sis, one word for you.... “semma semma” kudos sis... timely video
Lagi satu, tolong la, rakyat Malaysia jangan la ada yg pergi luar negara cakap kat Malaysia ni racist. Canang kat luar negara, cari sokongan & publicity. Especially mat Salleh. Mereka tu kadang-kadang berfikiran extreme, mereka ingat racism kat Malaysia ni macam kat negara dia. Orang kena tembak. Kena bunuh. Orang kena buli kat jalanan sebab sesetengah bangsa tak suka. Kena ludah. Kena tarik tudung. Kena maki tak pasal-pasal. Kena attack. Dan sebagainya.
Much love from Singapore! ❤❤❤
Im Peranakan & do see racism (no matter how subtle it is) here ... sad, very sad 🥺
Thanks Nandini, what you've said is true. I don't really support racism. But somehow, sometime I may conciously or unconciously having racist thoughts or actions towards other races. So Im taking this time on behalf of myself and fellow Sabahan people, to apologize to all races in Malaysia for any racist acts or words we have done to you.
Nice topic. Teruskan biar sedar sikit mata dan hati org lain. asyik dilabel sbg Bangla bagai. Sekali tunjuk IC boleh pula ramah mesra. Pendapat sayalah kan, generasi terkini tiada Rasa racism tapi disebabkan old people plus adults punya perangai yg asyik label setiap kaum negatively. Sbb tu ianya jadi ikutan generasi sekarang.
True. It is especially difficult if the culture itself promotes colorism and discrimination based on things you don't choose. For example, my grandma who is an Iyer, refuse to associate in any way with Indians who are not same caste as her. And she taught the same to her children and grandchildren. Some of my cousins still refuse to eat with lower castes. I am ok with it but I don't tell my family if I eat with them. Later my family will make big fuss saying i am contaminated and impure...
Its being normalize in the society and thats what disgust me
Agreed with all your points. As a Malay, I'm kind of tired of hearing people of my race acting so entitled to everything just because of our race and treating other races like crap. What's worse is most of these people are orang kaya. Bukan perlu bantuan pun, cuma suka memintak. Does anybody have any tips on how to get my parents to stop using 'keling'? They don't really say it often but they get so offended when Indian people say that the word is offensive. I really don't get why they're so strong headed about it.
Do your parents use 'keling' as an insult or because of habit? Like they have been raised that way.
What does orang kaya mean ?

@@neniironman3827 Regardless, if they don't like to be called that & want to be called as Indians you should respect their preference. Religion & race of others should be respected if you want yours to be respected too.
@@neniironman3827 If you're alright with people calling you keling that's on you, don't force others to follow what you do. Majority have decided they don't like it, they prefer to be referred to as Indians so why so badly want to call them anything else anyways? If a group of people told me they don't like a particular word used to call them I won't use it, just use what they're comfortable with. What's so hard?
Interestingly, 2 months ago, when I was hunting for a room, I went view one. Surprised was I when I saw a large signboard written in front of the house, "Room for rent. Chinese only". The lady pretended it wasn't there, so did I. Then I tried contacting owners of premises that advertised they only that want chinese, and they layan me eventough I wasn't one. Made me conclude, during this Covid season, many of such ownerd realised, $ is what they need, irregardless from which race it comes from. What hypocrisy!
Brought tears to my eyes. I have faced racism but at the same time... I jokingly call some people sakai and jakun not realising that they belong to our orang asli. Thanks nandini for pointing this out
Well said! I realised now, how much I was cornered due to my 'kulitification' during my school days. Unknowingly I lost my freedom of speech, begun to be a quiet person. I am talking about back in 80s. Destiny has made me to settle in different country in late 90s. I regained my confidence after that because of equal opportunity system here and people respecting your way, thinking and ideas regardless of your background. I am happy my children have no idea what is racism and they never experience it. Support you and your work. Bless you and do well :)
