PETALING JAYA: The bunga raya does not only give Malaysia a national identity but symbolises the unity of its people in achieving a common goal, say Malaysians.

Nur Amelia Adam, a teacher from Kuala Lumpur, said although the national flower was not entirely unique or rare as it could be found anywhere in the country, it still reflected “a common goal” that Malaysians want to achieve in this land of diversity.
