To All the Malays, I Wish to Know What You Think About Lowyat's Riot on 13th July 2015

I believe the Lowyat riot's that happen on 13th July 2015 midnight follow by the group of Malays gathered at 12th July 2015 evening in front of Lowyat plaza had touch the heart of many people. And it not only the issue of politics as it also involve the social issue and touch on the racist matter in our culture.

I had wrote down the details of everything that I know regarding the root cause that we can see and how the riot ended in this article.

And I'm still looking into any new info that is available and I found one serious issue: Despite the two Malay boys had official news confirmed that they are not being accused, it's a fake news that they purchase the phone and they had the receipt. The truth is they attempted to steal the phone but got caught when they are trying to escape. Yet, there are still supporters to claim that the two Malay boys is part of the Malaysia "pahlawan" (honorable soldier) who dare to fight back because there are small amount of supporters still believe that the two Malays are being accused. The two Malay boys wreck havoc because they have the courage to express their dissatisfaction instead of getting silent for purchasing fake stock. Another matter is, I found many supporters feeling proud of being Malay because the huge crowd of Malays "united" as one in front of Lowyat plaza.

I have to press on the reality as what had reported in the news and it's confirmed as the official news. You can refer to The Star newspaper, New Strait Times, and other social media reports on the following:

1. The two Malay boys that accused to steal the phone had confirmed that they are not being accused. They committed the thievery and got caught when they trying to escape.
2. The Malay crowd who gather in front of Lowyat Plaza at 12th July 2015 at the evening is consider illegal as there is no official announcement allow them to gather in a large group.
3. The Malay crowd in front of Lowyat plaza claim to protest because Lowyat plaza is selling fake stock but Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar confirmed that there is no fake stock in Lowyat plaza after investigation.
4. Prime Minister Dato Seri Najib Tun Razak, most of the government officials and most of the social broadcasting companies urge people not to continue spreading rumors. Rumors here referring to the accusation of Malay boys who perform the thievery and root cause is the Chinese in Lowyat plaza beaten up the Malay gang because of racist issue. In another words, the Chinese group beaten up the Malay gang is not because of racist issue.
5. Among the Malay crowd in front of Lowyat plaza, there is few leaders who provoke the anger of the crowd and attempt to stir up racist war. Police had detain one of the leaders for provoking racist war.
6. The Malay crowd attempted to march into Lowyat plaza at 8.30PM but stopped by the police at 9PM. The crowd got dismissed but gathered again later at midnight around the street Bukit Bintang.
7. The Malay crowd had cause damage to public properties such as numerous vehicles and attack numerous Chinese and causes at least 5 person to be injured. At least one person had serious injuries and bleed. One car was seriously damaged when the crowd hit and destroy the car in a group.

One thing that bother me really much is, what is the Malays truly think about this whole event? And I'm not referring only to the supporters, as in those who post comments all over the internet to think that this event unite the Malays, as well as Malays who did not involve in the riot but as a citizen of Malaysia.

Some people may or may not accept that the Malay boys are the theft even after the news had confirmed on it, the fact that I seen many people agree that the Malay boys and the gang that wreck havoc in Lowyat plaza is a correct act disturb my mind really much.

Logically, this event is telling me that a few Malay boys attempted to steal but failed and got caught. Later on, a gang revenge on the people who hand their friend over to the police and got beaten up, so they use this matter to create fake news to stir up racist war and amazingly, many Malays believe their story without thinking much or investigation. A huge group of Malays claim to obtain justice and pride because of the fake news and result in damaging public properties and hurting people on the street. After the entire event ended and the official news are out, many still proud that Malays united despite the root cause is started by Malay theft.

What is the reason feeling proud for one race to unite because massive amount of people believe in fake news and instead of claiming justice and pride for the Malay, they create public fear and chaos on the street? Those behaviors are much more worst that local gangsters. At least local gangsters don't practice violence at the public area.

I don't like to conclude that the supporters that think this riot is something that they proud of could represent the thinking of all Malays. I wish to understand the thinking of other Malay regardless what they think about this riot, and regardless they are supporters of it or not.

I can see there are many Malays out there who see other races as equal and there is no such issue as bumiputra or pendatang. They also help out on others regardless of race when other needs help. All of us are living together in harmony and this culture has always been a treasure in Malaysian's heart even when we usually don't talk about it or express it. Which is why we are all able to see each other as equal and racist issue should not stir up our relationship and harmony between each race easily and without a solid purpose.

I hope I can get sincere thoughts and opinion from our fellow citizen of Malaysia.
