Towards a more united Malaysia


IN nine days’ time, we will be commemorating 65 years of Merdeka. Like many other citizens, I sometimes wonder: are we becoming more united or more divided as a nation?

By a “united nation”, I think of a land in which peace, harmony and mutual respect exist between dissimilar individuals and groups and in which unity does not mean uniformity and diversity does not mean fragmentation.
