Task A
Summary:
The video given was about Maria Hertogh Riots.
Generally,it is about the case of the custody of Maria Hertogh.Unfortunately,both her parents was held captive.Under the captive during the Japanese Occupation,Che Aminah had stand in as
Maria Hertogh's caretaker and had educated Maria Hertogh about Malay religion.
Maria Hertogh had converted to a Muslim and subsequently,changed her name to Nadra.
After which,Maria's parents came back and wanted the custody of Maria again.
Comments on video:In our opinion,this case of Maria Hertogh riots is very complicated.We feel that there is too many people speaking up for Maria Hertogh and felt that Maria Hertogh should speak up for herself.She should be able to choose for what she wants.However,in the past,people of different races do not understand one another better and insisted on having riots due to some complications.In the end,many people got killed including the Eurasians and Europeans whereas this matter could be solved through the eyes of laws with justice and fairness.
