Racial Harmony 1








Life in Malaysia has been peaceful and worth remembering. Understanding and respect has been taught and continued for decades starting from our independence on 31st August 1957. We have faced incidents like the May 13 1969 incident, were loads o Chinese and Malays fought with casualties. The citizens of Malaysia have learned bitterly from lessons like his so that they will not re-occur.




Conduct and movements in all private colleges in Kuala Lumpur have been good. The fact that various races and people are enrolling into various courses all around KL is fantastic. Our country is known for good twinning programmers with renowned colleges in United Kingdom, Australia, USA, etc.Our students have been taught from school and from home the importance of all religions and the respectdue for each.It's through these values that our country has flourished.



This idea has been the aim for all politicians and leaders. Starting from school, students realize that the medium communication is the only way to converse with their peers and were a common agreement can be made. It is here that a common language is agreed upon, thru which both parties communicate. In Malaysia for example, as shown in the pictures, English and Bahasa Malaysia, the mother tongue of the country, have been agreed upon as the common medium.



Besides for business trade, it is the common language that binds the citizens of a country together. Examples of languages that are being practiced in current times are Mandarin in China, Malayalam in South India (Kerala), and Tagalog in Philippines. Racial harmony begins with language barriers being dealt with and respect among common beliefs. Countries like Malaysia are a good example where religious occasions are mutually celebrated by all citizens.




It can only be hoped that the peace and understanding between the locals of our country will be maintained despite the situation, good or bad, war or peace, etc. With this culture, our future maybe bright and prosperous.
