UNITY can only be achieved through a holistic approach and the spirit of nationhood must be the spirit of every individual in facing the challenges and trials as a plural society in Malaysia.
Is our foundation of togetherness becoming increasingly fragile to the point where it is so easy to fight each other?
The objective of the political stage is to gain the support of voters, but is our human dignity so low that it is willing to divide the people through the politics of hatred?
The achievements of the country over the past three years seem to have been overlooked by everyone because it is not easy to satisfy people.
It is not perfect yet but the government's determination to pursue perfection is very clear compared to the past.
If the economic situation is any indication, Malaysia made significant progress in the third quarter, growing by 5.2 percent, the strongest quarterly increase since 2022.
We are on track to achieve the full-year growth target of between 4.0 and 4.8 percent.
Trade relations with the two major countries, the United States and China, require a pragmatic and diplomatic approach where the reality is that we have to take one step at a time.
However, the context of the negotiation results is often viewed from a micro perspective by a few parties to be used as a political weapon.
We welcome the existence of the opposition in ensuring checks and balances on government policies, but it is best to provide ideas that lead to solutions. Education does not only depend on the syllabus in schools but on the development of a comprehensive personality.
Mastery of the national language should not be disputed because it is the heart of unity. The existence of our mother tongue is also celebrated while realizing the fact that it is our responsibility to foster the spirit of unity.
Do not allow yourself to be consumed by incitement by underestimating basic matters because we all want the best for our children's future.
Sometimes we are so absorbed in the joy of freedom in our homeland that we forget to realize the sacrifices made by previous generations.
Every diversity should be celebrated by convincing our children that Malaysia is for all without prejudice.
Show practices that bring blessings and give confidence to the next generation that we will not tolerate any tyranny and tribalism that tends to divide society for self-interest.
