Muttons' in the Mornin' !

perfect 10, 98.7FM. haha. muttons' in the morning, my favourite early morning radio show. haha. tho till today, i still dunno hu are the 2 DJs, all i noe is they are known as mutton ! haha. but i'm not here to tok abt this radio show, but abt the topic they spoke abt this morning.
the short, 2 min opinion of 1 mutton was expressed with seriousness and carried loads of importance. it was abt the recent Singapore Idol. ok, not abt hu sang better, performed better or wadeva sorts, but rather, the racists supporters frm both sides.
obviously, jonathan is a chinese, and hady is a malay. both sides, i supposed, had reasonably large grp of supporters of their own. but most of these supporters, they chose their idol on their race, instead of their singing ability and the 'star' appeal. i'd absolutely zero comments on hady being the idol, cus i believed both performed very well, and even if i throw in all my confidence, i mite not even dare to make my 1st step into signing the application form.
silly comments were made, racist remarks were thrown in. ppl cudnt be bothered. they kept thinking, "omg, that malay had won !! he shudnt hv got the champion !!". dun they get it? they're being darn right selfish and childish. being a chn myself, i feel that that was pretty 'face losing'. c'mon, every1 of us learned the national pledge, wad happened to the 'regardless of race, language or religion'? guess there's realli some work to be done to achieve this multi-racial and multi-religious society. ok, perhaps we've done dat, but creating the harmony within the community among 1 another seems to be a long way ahead.
perhaps we realli need to reflect abit on ourselves. i admit dat sometimes, i do feel abit racist, lyk ... not inviting the idea of playing a friendly soccer match with a grp of malays or indians, finding them too rough at times. i do hope singapore can realli be a nice place where foreigners can safely conclude that, hey, this nation is really filled with so much culture, and a harmonious place, how wonderful it would be if i'm part of them. yea, so, let's enjoy the thosai, mee rebus and char siew bao together !!! SEDAP ~
