I was visiting the International Islamic University Malaysia (UIAM) over the weekend for some activities with their university debaters. Apparently, UIA is one of the centers for the National Service training programs. What i saw disappointed me.
At the cafe, the Chinese NS participants were sitting with their Chinese friends, the Malays with the Malays, the Indians with the Indians. Its true that you can't force people to be friends, but isn't this the exact sort of behaviour NS was supposed to solve?
