What will it take to build a truly harmonious Malaysia


I don't think anyone can deny that a lot - and I mean a lot - has been said about race and religion lately. It's something you can't avoid no matter how much you try, and that's to be expected in today's Malaysia with issues like International Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (Icerd) or the Sri Maha Mariamman temple in USJ25.

Like it or not, we're being saturated with messages both true and false and rhetoric both heated and calling for calm, and it seems to have come to a point where Communications and Multimedia Minister Gobind Singh Deo has come out saying it is necessary to press pause on the suspension that the Pakatan Harapan government has put in place when it comes to laws deemed draconian.
