In diversity we can find unity

This phrase struck a chord in me and I felt that this is what we should remember to uphold the integrity of our nation, and step by step..we shall take it towards the realisation of Vision 2020..

"and we are brave enough to face the challenge that lies ahead and with the support of all the elements, the different races who made up the Malayan nation, we feel confident that we can overcome all obstacles. Let us show the world how in diversity we can find unity. We have now been admitted into the United Nations and recognised by the whole world as a free and independent nation. Let us show what we can do towards peace and happiness not only in our country but in the interest of the world in general."

Tunku Abdul Rahman
1st Prime Minister of Malaysia
