I was given a task to interview my family member about Inter-racial friendship. I choose my cousin to be interviewed because he is knowledgeable and knows a lot about social relationship since he studied in a multi-racial school for years. The following is the interview between me and him:

Q1: What do you know about inter-racial friendship?

A: From my perspective, inter-racial friendship is a friendship that build between different races in the country. As we are in Malaysia, inter-racial friendship might be between Malays, Chinese and Indians.

Q2: Can you give examples on how this type of friendship can be develop?

A: First and foremost, we look at public school today. Most of the students are among Malay races, Chinese and Indians. When they are at class especially, the students tend to communicate with each other directly or indirectly, hence the inter-racial friendship develops among them.

Next, i would like to bring us back to our grandfather's memories. Before our beloved country, Malaysia achieve independance, many immigrants from China and India came to our country. In order to achieve independance, these three races cooperated and form a party. The friendship shown by the leaders of the races in that time lead to the inter-racial friendship among the citizens. Therefore, we can see how this friendship can be developed.

Q3: What is your opinion regarding the advantages of this type of friendship?

A: In my opinion, it enables us to know more about the races. We can be well acknowledged of their culture, dances and many more. Perhaps, this type of friendship will help to built 1MALAYSIA spirit among the citizens.
