The Upin & Ipin series has been acknowledged as a Malaysian success story in animation by many people. Upin & Ipin carries on the single ethnic dominance construct that has torn this nation apart for 60 years and is set to do so for another 60. Why had parents or teachers not recommended their students watch Upin & Ipin? Why am I so concerned about the Upin & Ipin series to the point of making it a national issue? Perhaps the writers of Upin & Ipin need help to write stories that would do justice to each of the other 39 ethnic groups.
