To my fellow Malaysian's whom celebrated Diwali yesterday; and to all my reader as well. Let's celebrate together with our friends on their joyous moments.
May the beauty of Diwali fill your heart and may love bring you endless joy.

As Malaysian's, we should take pride in the fact that ever since our Nation secured Independence in August 1957, it has remained peaceful without facing major security threats that could jeopardise its stability, peace and harmony except for the May 13 1969 racial riots and the recent Lahad Datu terrorist incursion.
Malaysia today stands out in the world as an example of how different ethnic communities can live in peace and harmony and work together for the progress and well-being of the nation.
WE ARE MALAYSIAN

As a country of diverse races, cultures and religions, Malaysia is indeed unique in proving how its diversity could be united and harnessed for nation building.
Despite the different political ideologies and contrasting view and opinions, we have been able to respect and appreciate one another. We were able to conduct 13 General elections peacefully and without bloodshed.
We have been a harmonious society and it is necessary for us to further enhance and strengthen our inter-racial understanding and trust for one another despite whatever differences.
We should continue with greater fervour and determination to strive towards building our multi-racial nation into a united Malaysian nation with a sense of common and shared destiny.
National Unity is very vital and is the key to Malaysia’s success. Whether Malaysia will become a fully developed nation by the year 2020 will depend on a number of important factors, the most important being national unity.
Unity should therefore be the basis of all programmes and activities for nation building. Malaysians should be more conscious of their role and contribution towards national unity which is paramount to the nation’s growth and development.
National development would not be meaningful without understanding, harmony, goodwill and trust among the multiracial people.
Racial and other forms of polarisation are the biggest hindrance to national unity and it should be the responsibility of all Malaysians to reject racial polarisation in whatever form that is detrimental to national unity.
The process of establishing a united Malaysian nation is fraught with challenges and what has been achieved so far must be nurtured.
In this regard policy makers, planners and implementers have to be committed to the principle that their thoughts and deeds would always be guided and governed by the objectives and standards of Rukunegara and the sacrosanctity of the Federal Constitution.
All plans for growth and development and all corrective measures for social imbalances will be meaningful only if they are geared towards the attainment of national unity.
Malaysians must continue to aim at nurturing and strengthening the spirit of love and loyalty for the country and pride in being Malaysians. The spirit if patriotism must always be cultivated and nurtured and we must continue to strengthen racial harmony and religious tolerance at every level. All activities must be geared towards uniting the people which is the best recipe for nation building and the achievement of Vision 2020.
The immediate task of all political leaders and all strata of society is to prevent any further drift towards racial polarization.

It is the responsibility of all Malaysians to take a firm stand against divisive forces that can tear apart our social fabric and cause disunity.
Love Your Country!
