All Malaysians should stay united — Nizam
TAWAU: The people need to be united in order to continue enjoying Malaysia’s independence and to generate and defend the plural society in the country, said political secretary to the Chief Minister, Datuk Hj Nizam Abu Bakar Titingan.
Nizam said the people should emulate a developed nation’s formula that always ensures a strong government.
“Malaysia needs a strong government while the people have to play a role in forming the nation’s foundation.”
He said: “If the generation now understands the struggles of the previous independence fighters, sure they are not easily influenced by any propaganda being stirred by irresponsible party.”
Currently, he said some parties had been stirring up racial issue in order to become a hero, but this scenario would never bring any benefit to the people.
Hence, Nizam said unity is a valuable and invaluable gift. It needs to be cared, nurtured and preserved so that Malaysia’s independence can be maintained forever.
He was speaking when officiating at the National Day celebration at Kampung Ranggu here yesterday.
According to him, the new generations should equip themselves with a spirit of high patriotism for the sake of being more competitive and dynamic.
The youngsters should possess wise and mature mindset without being easily influenced by negative propaganda, he said.
