Historian: We must recapture vision of founding fathers

Ranjit: ‘History books should recognise the contributions and sacrifices made by the various ethnic groups’.

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia must recapture the vision of the founding fathers, which is a united and prosperous nation with a shared destiny, said a historian.

In making this call, Dr Ranjit Singh Malhi said this year’s National Day theme – Sehati Sejiwa (One Heart, One Soul) – reflected the need for all Malaysians to work together to create and sustain a truly harmonious country where everyone was treated fairly.
