Counting the days in Sydney

Counting my last few days in Sydney.
It's been a great experience. I have done my presentation, but I'll just repeat myself, I really did enjoy myself in Sydney and working at Mac.Awesome experience, meeting great people, learning more-than-what-your-mind-can-perceive technologies, working with helpful mates, strolling the city alone by myself. Prodigious experience.

Hmm, something i learnt there is a misconception of everyone towards Malaysian. Telling people you are Malaysian, they assume you are Malay. They do not know who are Malays, but it started to dawn upon me that I do not know who really Malays are too.
Malays are the original citizens of the Malaya when Chinese was still immigrants. So basically Malays are citizens of Malaysia, explains the words Australians - citizens of Australia. So when we fought for Independence, and Chinese became citizens and part of the country, why are we still called Chinese? Why is there the occurrence of calling people by race in Malaysia. If Malays were called Malays because they were citizen of Malaya, why do we have Malaysian Chinese and Malaysian Indian? Why are judged based by our own people? Aren't we just all Malays, but we aren't....
