A mosaic, not a melting pot


Our Constitution recognises our dazzling diversity and provides workable arrangements for the multi-hued nation to live together in peace and harmony.

Proponents of this view rely on the fact that nowhere in the text of our document of destiny is there any explicit usage of words like multiracial or multicultural Malaysia.
