Let’s all work for the common good

I WOULD like to thank Senator Khairul Azwan Harun for his mature and level-headed take on our nation’s current political landscape, “Reach out and connect”, (The Star, August 2).

In a country where race and religion still define who we are, it seems that affiliations and professed allegiance to political parties have now become integral aspects of our identity, often with unpalatable consequences.
