Everyone should 'build bridges' for lasting unity
LETTERS: Last Saturday, the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim launched National Unity Week in Penang. Held from July 17 to 20 across the country, it also serves as a prelude to the Merdeka celebrations next month. Sadly, not many people pay attention to the National Unity Week, which was held to help strengthen the bonds between people of different races, religions and regions. It is a reminder of what holds us together as Malaysians. Right now, our state of unity has much room to grow. There is a lot of noise out there. People are arguing more. Social media is filled with insults and antagonism. At times, it feels like we are losing the sense of mutual respect and trust that once defined Malaysia. One reason is that some quarters find it useful to play on our fears. When some people choose division over unity, everyone loses. True leadership means building bridges, not burning them. It means putting the country first, even when it is hard. It means having the courage to say no to those who benefit from chaos and fear. Unity cannot be built on slogans alone. It must be built on understanding, empathy, and shared responsibility. Each of us has a role to play in this. Malaysia has a rich history and a complex social fabric. We come from many traditions and cultures. We speak different languages and practise different faiths. But this is not something to fear. It is something to be cherished. Having the understanding about our collective roots allows us to better navigate the complexity of living in a plural society. It provides context about our surroundings and our place in it. We must learn to put ourselves in the shoes of others. This means listening without judgement. It means asking questions before jumping to conclusions. Whether through speeches, online comments or viral videos, some people try to provoke anger or hatred. They want to divide us for their own gain. We must not let them succeed. In my constituency in Jementah, I see real unity every day. When floods hit, neighbours of all races come together to help. During festive seasons, families of different backgrounds visit one another. In our neighbourhoods, children from diverse backgrounds play side by side, laugh together and grow up as friends. We look beyond race and religion. This is the Malaysia I know. We must protect this spirit of togetherness. Not just during Unity Week, but all year round. It should live in how we talk to each other, how we solve problems, and how we teach our children. Unity does not mean we must all be the same. It means we must work together even when we are different. Malaysia's strength lies in our diversity. But that strength will only show if we choose to stand together. Not just when it is easy, but especially when it is hard. Let Unity Week be more than an annual event. We ought to live the spirit of this event every day of the year - in good times and bad. Unity is not the job of the government alone. It is not just the work of schools or community groups. Unity is everyone's job. Jementah, Johor

Civil Servants Should Remain Neutral, Do Not Participate In Rally
KUALA LUMPUR, July 21 (Bernama) -- Civil servants must remain neutral and not be involved in any actions that could affect the image and trust of the people in the public service, said the Congress of Unions of Employees in the Public and Civil Services (CUEPACS). Its president, Datuk Dr Adnan Mat, said civil servants must remain focused on their primary responsibility, which is to deliver the best services to the people without being influenced by any agenda that could affect the integrity and professionalism of the public service. 'Civil servants are the backbone of the stability of the country's administration and must always demonstrate professionalism, integrity and maintain ethics in delivering services to the community,' he said in a statement today. He said as the government's policy implementation machinery, civil servants must fully support the principles of the Rukun Negara, especially Loyalty to the King and Country and the Supremacy of the Constitution, which are the basis for national harmony and unity. He said that any action that deviates from these principles not only tarnishes the good name of the public service but can also disrupt the continuity of the country's administrative system. 'CUEPACS calls on all civil servants to remain focused on the trust they have been given and not be influenced by any form of provocation or activity that could affect the image of the public service in the eyes of the people," he said. Yesterday, the Chief Secretary to the Government (KSN), Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar, reminded civil servants not to participate in the rally scheduled to be held in the capital this Saturday. He said it was inappropriate for civil servants to participate in the rally because the action was not in accordance with the principle of Loyalty to the King and Country contained in the Rukun Negara. -- BERNAMA

Sarawak Day: 'Ibu Pertiwi' Elevates Identity Of The Land Of The Hornbills In Malaysia
By Hamdan Ismail KUCHING, July 21 (Bernama) -- A line from the Sarawak state anthem, "Ibu Pertiwiku," is a fitting reminder, especially as the people of the Land of the Hornbills celebrate Sarawak Day tomorrow (July 22). "Sarawak dalam Malaysia, aman makmur rahmat Tuhan maha esa (Sarawak, a part of Malaysia, blessed by God with peace and prosperity)" is a line from the lyrics of the state's anthem, which has been played at every official event held in this Land of the Hornbills since 1988. Out of all the states and territories in this country, "Ibu Pertiwiku" is the only state anthem that contains the word "Malaysia" in its lyrics. This verse is not just an ordinary line of lyrics, but a declaration that reflects Sarawak's unique identity as a state proud of its heritage, yet at the same time, firmly bound within the Federation of Malaysia. It outlines Sarawak's acceptance and commitment to the formation of Malaysia in 1963, while still preserving the agreed-upon sovereignty and autonomy. For National Council of Professors senior fellow Datuk Dr Jeniri Amir, the word 'Malaysia' in the lyrics of the Sarawak state anthem is very significant because it is a clear reflection that the state spirit can unite with a broader national consciousness. According to him, the lyrics show how the leaders and people of this Land of the Hornbills are always fully aware that Sarawak is part of Malaysia and the importance of moving forward together within the context of a federation. "Awareness of the importance of Sarawak moving in tandem within the context of a federation is very important, not only to strengthen unity at the state level, but also the spirit of federalism and unity at the national level," he told Bernama.
