Malaysia is incredibly polarised right now, especially across racial and religious lines.
Perhaps that has always been the case to some degree, given the ethno-centric political parties and culture that have dominated a bulk of our history since independence and especially so post-1969.
Things seem to be getting worse. You often get the sense that every community feels that they’re marginalised or that they don’t have a place in this country, or maybe that’s just the social media comment section.
Of course, there’s no silver bullet to solving this. BFM speaks to Jason Wee, the founder of Architects of Diversity. They discuss some of the drivers of our racialised politics, if things are indeed getting worse, and even the role of social media.
