Letters To The Editor
DON'T DESTROY OUR COUNTRY
Eric Lew L.L.
Hebburn. England (via e-mail)

I am a Malaysian who is working in Britain.  I just watched the news about the riots in Kuala Lumpur and I really felt sad about it.  Malaysia is in the process of recovering from its economic downturn.  What we really need now is stability, not reformasi.  Reformasi will only destroy Malaysia, not save it.

Why didn't people talk about reformasi five or 10 years ago?  Malaysians should know.  If we did not need reformasi before, I don't think we need it now.  The people should unite and develop Malaysia.  Please do not turn our country into a second Indonesia.  I love Malaysia.  I certainly do not want to see Malaysians destroying the country
