Principle of social and state life only be achieved by a comprehensive
unity. Regardless of a society or a single tribe, there is no automatic
assurance that unity will occur. Group of people built on mutual interest,
history, blood ties, tastes and so on.
In the context of our country, the background of a long history of
colonialism, nearly 500 years has seen the formation of a society. Lastly,
the Bumiputeras (Malays, ethnic origin, Sabah and Sarawak) is estimated to
represent 60 per cent of the Malaysian population, Chinese 24 percent and India
4 percent. Based on a projection of the birth and death rates, the
proportion of the indigenous population will reach 80 percent by 2050.
Schools and institutions of higher learning is one of the best
opportunities for the racial unity in Malaysia. Nazri Muslim and Jamsari Alias from UKM found that the implementation of the
spirit of love of country (patriotism) contribute to the integrity of national
unity in Malaysia. Distinguished Professor Dr. Shamsul Amri Baharin conclude that the tolerance of the view of the Malays
and other races also very high as a factor of unity so reserved.
Sentiment extreme racism played like a time bomb that will destroy the
bond of unity that has been built for a long time. However, the tendency
to socialize and maintain a variety of characteristics, interests and heritage
groups is itself a normal process in a society of origin alone does not affect
the rights of other groups. Access
to education and governance of public relations multiplicity of good people
over the years have attempted provocation crippling communal clashes as black
events May 13, 1969.
As a nation towards parliamentary democracy is political maturity
levels, a total of 12 times elections have passed successfully. The battle
of words between politicians and the grassroots has always been the case, but
the incident is still under control and thus no blood spilled in the third
world countries in Africa and South Asia. Top leaders of political parties
competed for the election of the 13th still looks friendly chat in the lobby of
parliament and enjoy teh tarik together.
Racial mistrust also invisible transactions and community activities. The
non-Malays are not awkward to visit Malay restaurants and Ramadan bazaar, while
the Malays are used to visitr the store of the Chinese and Indian. The Malays also do
not hesitate to eat at the restaurant of the non-Malay Muslims because of their
halal issue is a major consideration.
Separation of children based on race occurred at the primary level
because vernacular education system is still allowed to exist. As a
measure of race relations, there is a program called School Integration Plan
(Rimup). Students from national schools, Chinese schools and Tamil are
combined in a joint program. Implementation of the curriculum and outside
of the classroom program to another is also constantly in radar surveillance
authorities of education.
The non-Malays are also found increasingly understand the position of
Islam in the Malay community. Chinese, Indian, Iban, Kadazan and so it is
not awkward to deal with Sharia-compliant banking system, but not a phobia with
Islamic law, including hudud. Perhaps only a few generations boomers ,
generation X and certain extremist groups are still obsessed
with racism thickened.
The younger generation of today look like if thrown confounded concept
class citizens who have made racist provocation weapon once.They are willing to
accept the history and the social contract as enshrined in the constitution. In
short, the level of discontent among the younger generation of the community
living in Malaysia may be deemed to be high enough.
Unity is the insurance or guarantee of progress and prosperity. All
parties, whether locals or foreigners, feel safe to trade when the threat of
racism is not well received. Tourism and travel activities are also to be
