  Racial unity must be taught at early stages
  
  IN line with the 1Malaysia concept of promoting unity and togetherness among Malaysians through mutual respect and trust for one another, students and youths of different races should take the lead and must break down the racial divide and reach out and make friends with those from the other ethnic groups.
  Conscious and tireless efforts must be made by the Government, including reforming our education system, to help the future generation to achieve this all-important objective of building unity in diversity.
  The youngsters must be completely unconscious of the fact that the person sitting next to him or her is of another race and religion and they must be aware of only one thing - that he or she is their friend.
  The youngsters must strive to strengthen racial integration which is vital for national unity. In all events, from sports to co-curricular activities, practical efforts must be made to bring the youngsters of different races together so that they can interact with one another without realising the ethnicity of the other.
  Schools are ideal places to promote racial integration. Teachers and parents must play their parts well to help out in this process. Parents must encourage their children to mix with others of different races so that they can better understand one another’s religion, culture and way of life.
  Sustained efforts must be made to break the racial divide, if there is any, among students of diverse races so as to overcome the problem of racial polarisation in schools.
  Today’s students are our future leaders. Upon their shoulders lie the responsibility of building a united Malaysia with a common and shared destiny for all.
  The inculcation of proper values and noble objectives in relation to unity should begin in the primary schools so that we can produce a future generation of Malaysians who are fully conscious of their responsibilities towards nation-building.
  We must take all possible steps to ensure that our system of pre-university education does not contribute towards a unhealthy polarisation in our campuses.
  This requires our schools, colleges and private educational institutions to take conscious efforts to prevent racial polarisation at their respective levels.
  We have to go back to basics and in this regard it is the Rukunegara and its five principles – Belief in God, Loyalty to King and Country, Upholding the Constitution, Rule of Law and Good Behaviour and Morality – which is the guiding light for building a united Malaysia.
  Unity and harmony must be made a part of our culture and there must be more opportunities for people of diverse races to meet and forge closer friendship and understanding for the sake of our nation’s future.

  Race Relations Act soon
  Published on: Friday, September 19, 2008 Email to a friend Printer Friendly
  
  Putra Jaya: The Government will draw up a Race Relations Act to safeguard and strengthen relations among the different races in the country, Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar disclosed Thursday.
  He said the formulation of the proposed act which had been agreed upon by the Cabinet would be headed by his ministry and the Unity, Culture, Arts and Heritage Ministry.
  "These two ministries are working together on this Act, with our respective officers now at the discussion stage," he told reporters after officiating at the Home Ministry's staff monthly assembly, here Thursday.
  He said after the act had been approved, the Unity, Culture, Arts and Heritage Ministry would be playing an important role in the area of race relations as provided for under the act.
  "The Home Ministry will provide the input in enforcement efforts to ensure safety and national security," he said.
  Syed Hamid said various aspects like integration, the education system and the economy would be taken into consideration in drawing up the act, besides the views of various quarters including non-governmental organisations.
  "We need to get feedback from the public as ultimately, they will be the practitioners. This piece of law is for the people."
  He said his Ministry would also refer to other countries like the United Kingdom which had such an act in place, as a guideline and for comparison in drawing up the act for Malaysia.
  He believed the act would be able to guide Malaysians in safeguarding race relations in the country, and they should view this positively as there would be room for improvement before the act was passed.
  "Under this Act, action can be taken against those who disrupt harmony by causing racial tension and conflicts that can also destabilise the country," he said.
  Asked when the act would be ready for implementation, Syed Hamid said the target was soonest possible in view of the current situation in the country.
  Before this, MCA Youth chief Datuk Liow Tiong Lai had called for such an Act to be introduced as a mechanism to strengthen race relations in the country in light of sensitive issues being frequently raised of late.
  Meanwhile, in KUALA LUMPUR, the MIC proposed that an inter-race relations Council be established to discuss and address amicably issues concerning religion, language, culture and racial sensitivities.
  Its president Datuk Seri S Samy Vellu said such a Council was important to help realise the government's efforts at strengthening racial unity which had come under threat after the last general election.
  "The people are worried about the current situation as a lot of racial sensitivities are being raised by irresponsible quarters.
  "So, let's go back to our original struggle of forging national unity for the good of the people and country," he told reporters after chairing a meeting of the MIC's central working committee Thursday.
  He said the inter-race relations council could be set up after the proposed race relations act had become a reality.
  Samy Vellu said the council could be represented by the various political parties and religious and cultural organisations.
  "The government needs to rebuild racial unity which will lead to national unity. But we also need to caution all quarters not to stoke up hatred among the various races in this country."
  At the meeting, the MIC also conveyed it congratulations to Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak for being appointed the new finance minister, and expressed its support for the Prime Minister and his deputy, as well as to BN in its mission to win back the people's support through new approaches.
  "The MIC supports the Government in all its actions to ensure the country's political stability and economic strength," said Samy Vellu.
  However, he said, the MIC also urged the Government to use the Internal Security Act judiciously, and the Opposition to stop any action that could destabilise the country. - Bernama
