Pakatan Rakyat's leader should not follow B.N's selection of an Indian candidate for the Bukit Selambau state seat.Pakatan Rakyat will easily win this seat if it chooses a malay candidate by virtue of the 51% malay majority area.
B.N is likely to field an indian candidate from MIC and PKR should select a malay candidate to contest against him.As long as the malay candidate can look after the interest of all the races in the constitutuency I see no reason why we should follow B.N's quota of indian candidates to contest in certain areas.The political reality of the constituency dictate that a malay candidate stands a good chance of winning the seat and I am sure the majority of the chinese and Indian voters will support the PKR malay candidate.
PKR must moved away from B.N's race based ideology.It must demonstrate to Malaysians that a malay candidate from PKR can and without any problems look after the interest of chinese and indian welfare.This will be a refreshing departure from B.N's race based politics in particular and UMNO's race based allocation of seats to its miniority partners , MIC. in general.
If PKR is looking forward to that change then there is no other option but to have a malay candidate for the Bukit Selambau state seat.

You are living in a state of denial. You blame BN for race based politics and deem them irrelevant.
Yet, in your words, we are racially segregated.

Race-based politics exist in your mind and Pakatan Rakyat.
If it is not, then there should not be any talk by you or PR with labels like "Chinese, Indians Malays".
So, do not go around telling people race based politics are irrelevant if you still label people categorically as Chinese, Indians and Malays.
