Diversity a treasure that requires constant nurturing


WORLD Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, observed every May 21, invites nations to reflect on how cultural richness strengthens societies. Established in 2002 and sanctioned by the United Nations, this day emphasises the importance of promoting cultural diversity as a means of achieving peace, stability, and sustainable development.

Malaysia, with its colourful mosaic of Malay, Chinese, Indian, and indigenous cultures, is often hailed as a living example of that richness. Our festivals, cuisines, languages and traditions are intricately woven into the nation’s identity, making us a unique society on the global stage.
