Global perspective as observed by Barack Obama"

"If I am the face of American foreign policy and American power, I think that if you can tell people, 'We have a president in the White House who still has a grandmother living in a hut on the shores of Lake Victoria and has a sister who's half-Indonesian, married to a Chinese-Canadian,' then they're going to think that he may have a better sense of what's going on in our lives and in our country. And they'd be right."

Our UMNO led Barisan Nasional leaders should understand and adopt Barack Obama's global perspective in dealing with our deteriorating racial harmony in Malaysia.

Howard Ng (father of Konrad Ng) probably has sensed that and have moved to Canada to become a Chinese-Canadian instead of Chinese-Malaysian (or just plain Malaysian)
