does race matter?

the other day when i was sitting in d car in kl.. i saw a Chinese Maternity Hostpital. out of curiousity, i looked to see if there were anybody and boy there were quiet a lot of cars parked in the parking lot.. then it got me thinking... are those ppl inside all just chinese?? like what happens if a non-chinese lady had an emergency and that was d nearest plc for her 2 deliver??... would they not accept her?? what does it mean when they they put CHINESE Maternity Hospital?... is it for those who are pure chinese??.. or those who speak chinese only?.. or look like chinese??. what happens if u are half chinese??... then they will onli deliver yr baby half way??
i dont get it lah! y must they emphasize on it?? okay.. mayb a bunch of chinese put their money in it to build this n operate it... still then y does it have to just Chinese???... i thought as malaysians we should not care of what race we come from and strive for racial unity.. isnt that what we've been trying to promote to the rest of the world?? yet.. still there is discrimination.. may be just one small lil example..
with Merdeka round d corner.. maybe we should strive even harder for racial unity.. k mayb i sound too optimistic.. but hey whats wrong wif having hope?..

Hey. This Chinese Maternity Hospital caters to all [so no cases of babies being delivered halfway]...I think you are talking about Tung Shin Hospital, right?

It's not exactly a maternity hospital also. I remember my best friend's aunt [who's Indian] got treated for breast cancer there.

It is weird to hold the name CHINESE MATERNITY HOSPITAL. Can be quite misleading.

There's nothing wrong with being too optimistic and hopeful. It keeps us alive sometimes.

Just dropped by to say hi, by the way. So, hi!

Now I'm saying bye...
