CHRISTCHURCH: Malaysians living in Christchurch have insisted that New Zealand remains a safe place despite the mass shootings on Friday , stating that the outpouring of support has brought them together amid some lingering fear and trauma.
Mr Yau, who is also president of the Canterbury Malaysian Society Inc. - the largest Malaysian association on the South Island - said none of the organisation's 100 members have gone to him to express concerns about safety. Still, the 48-year-old said she would be taking more precautions moving forward, like locking her door more often."Because this thing has happened, I will tell my children to be more cautious," she added.Among the Malaysian student population at Canterbury University, there were some concerns.The president of the 250-strong Canterbury Malaysian Student Association , who only wanted to be known as Jay, said about 10 students approached her regarding issues of safety.
"You cannot avoid trauma, and to heal trauma it takes a long time," said another 22-year-old student who only wanted to be known as Rol."I do believe that people will overcome that." "One positive coming out of the incident is you can see the true Kiwis," Mr Yau said. "We see the love that local people give us," Ms Aida added.
