food for thought

hey people! yup, I've just finished my last paper for 2nd assessment.. I'm writing about BN ( Barisan Nasional) due to the sudden realisation after doing the time-wasting Malaysian studies assignment..
so, do you think having BN is an effective measure for our country towards national integration?
You see, our Msian studies textbook claims that " the formation of BN is the most meaningful and practical because it joins together various political parties even though each is a communal party". contradicting itself in that paragraph, it is actually talking about communal politics being one of the obstacles to integration. yes, BN may be an excellent step to achieve unity among Malaysians in the early independence but what about now? Now, even after more than 50 years of independence, communal politics are still being practised in BN, be it UMNO for the Malays, MCA for the Chinese or MIC for the Indians. the three main communities are still three separate entities kononnya under the same BN roof niala. Plus, when it comes to fighting for people's rights, the people will only stand up for their own race. eg: when there's an article on the appeal of JPA scholarships in the newpapers, do you see race A helping race B and vice versa? Tak Ada.
If they really want to achieve national integration, they should change the structure of this party and abolish all the sub-parties that lead to communal politics. take the parties with less communal politics as example (i think you guys can make a wise guess?)

Actually i have more to argue on but i scared later kena jailed. please tell me if you think the chances of me being behind the bars are high. i will immediately delete this post
