Growing up in Malaysia, since kindergarten, and all the way through life, we are asked, what race are you?

There are three major races in Malaysia; Malays, Chinese and Indians (as in East Indians for those N. Americans). Also, there are subcategories, orang-asli or native people belong to the Malay category but do not always have equal rights of other Malays.

Once upon a time there was a girl born in the Kingdom of Purplaya. A land that promised so much to its inhabitants. A land of peace, harmony and beauty for all. She grew up as a child sharing within the wealth of cultures that lived in this warm and sunny land.
