Violence Protests

After the stay-at-home order, while the president is working hard to re-open economy in the US,
the death of an African-American which has been widespread over social media, has ignited anger within protesters in the country, and results in violence on the street.

The image from BBC news reminded me of the protest happened in Hong Kong by the pro-democracy, as shown below, which is also portraying the fight between the protesters and the police.

One is due to race discrimination, another is fight against democracy and freedom.
Both protests taken in different countries share many images in common -- the protesters' stubbornness, defense or action from the riot police, which are controversial depend on your point of view.

The two national leaders, who are having bilateral war at the moment, are responsible for such chaos which are ongoing in their own territory. 

After looking at how each of them are managing the public health crisis, I am anticipating to see how are they responding to cease fire on the street.

While declaring Bahasa as their national language, this national leader of Singapore had attempted to implement equal opportunities policy in a multi-racial base society, despite being accused of destroying Chinese education. This is a bold move with his purpose to avoid people playing on race, language and religion cards, as he mentioned during the interview. I am wondering, is there any national leader in Malaysia will take this bold move by putting aside the race and religion differences? Well, maybe some from a very few?
