Essence of 1Malaysia

The interest thing about Malaysia right now is that our best thing is also our worst thing. The multicultural society that we have is a good thing. With diversity you can have the best of every culture. In a team of soccer for instance, not every player can become a striker. Some player needs to be the midfielder or goalkeeper. This is due to each distinctive strong point that makes a soccer team strong. However, with strong players dos not ensure success if there is no understanding between the players. Cohesiveness as a team is very important. Knowing other players strength and weaknesses is also vital. So, what this got to do with Malaysia. A lot actually.. Every ethnic in Malaysia have its strength and weaknesses. But, utilizing the strength of each races is not enough without strong teamwork and understanding between each races. This is what 1Malaysia is all about.. Is not the differences of each culture that we should highlight.. or the gaps of wealth between the races... but the most important is how we as a society can work together, filling each other weaknesses with our own unique strength. By doing this, Malaysia as a country can stand high. This is not a patriotic post that I am writing, but more of what I feel that needs to be highlighted by the mainstream media. Instead of highlighting what each races in Malaysia should deserved, we should highlight what is needed to strengthen our ties... and then probably we can scale even higher mountains.
