Historically, politics in Malaysia has always
been premised on communal lines.
We see this in the composition of the three
main component parties within the ruling
coalition which are formed along racial-ethnic
distinctions. Over the years, this has lead to
segregation and polarisation of Malaysian
society rather than a people united. Although
it was our founding fathers’ aspiration
that citizens of this land and the various
ethnic communities come together and
acknowledge themselves as “Malaysians”
first rather than according to ethnic lines, the
stark reality is that this aspiration still remains
a dream. The time has come for the nation to
abandon such a narrow and myopic mindset
in favour of a more liberated outlook that truly
represents the collective identity and will of
the people as Malaysians.
Prayer Suggestions:
• Pray for Jubilee to bring the people
of various communities together.
• Pray for the church to exemplify such
unity and harmony in the nation.
