DURING the Covid-19 crisis, Malaysia has been experiencing moments of unity and moments of differences, noted Prof Shamsul Amri Baharuddin, head of the National Institute of Ethnic Studies at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia.

“The Covid-19 pandemic brought us together, and collectively we are willing to be subjected to lockdown for the sake of health and safety for all,” he told me in a WhatsApp chat.
