Unity is a good word. Malaysians have often strive to apply this concept of "unity" because they believe that it is good to have it. Politicians often make rally calls for unity. The idea of unity is that members of this unity becomes stronger than they would be if they are disunite. The concept of unity shares the same as being uniform in ideals, words and actions. To be one. To join a union. To combine forces towards meeting a common goal.
However, history has shown not enduring unities.
On the other hand, Malaysia has always been sold to the world as a multi-racial or multi-cultural melting pot. The Truly Asia tagline is often used to describe Malaysia. We celebrate diversity as we proudly showcase our different manifestations of religious practices, backgrounds, culture, etc.
However, history has shown few successes in diversity.
The solution is to unite in our support for diversity. We should be proud of diversity in our cultural heritages. We should unite in achieving economic goals. We should celebrate religious diversity and be united for the freedom of her people.
What I shall do is to strive to cause chaos for the sake of unity, and peace for the sake of diversity.
