J was in a mixed
marriage, being a Chinese Malaysian married to an Indian Malaysian. She and her husband brought
up three offspring and were employed by the government. When they retired from
their government jobs, they decided to travel around the world in the safety of
guided tour groups which had a tour leader. Once when a tour group had to make
up the numbers and an Indian lady had no partner, J called up her Indian
sister-in-law to enquire if she was interested in being the Indian lady’s room-mate.
She concurred that since both were Indians they would get along splendidly. How
could she assume that when she herself was in a mixed marriage!
