How about a unity declaration this year?

“HIGH confidence has been reposed in us; let us unitedly face the challenge of the years. And so with remembrance for the past, and with confidence in the future, under the providence of God, we shall succeed.” This is part of Tunku Abdul Rahman’s Merdeka speech in 1957.

Tun VT Sambanthan, during the debate on the draft Constitution, said: “We belong to a plural society, and we should always remember that in such a society we have to recognise that psychology has its own place.”
