Faustus: It would be hilarious to argue seriously that Malay Muslim unity has been cast aside for some five decades.
One can debate the shortcomings in their national leadership given their almost monopoly control of governance all these decades and the present plight of the nation.
One can moan over the lack of enthusiasm and effective engagement of the talents and capacities of the other communities in national development efforts.
One can be concerned about the issues that has gained notoriety nowadays about the skewed distribution of wealth amongst the population in general and within specific communities.
One can seriously worry about certain allegations of abuse of office.
The multiplicity of political parties and posturing within certain categories is perhaps driven by narrow motives other than the overall interests of national development and distribution of development amongst the various communities that constitute this nation.
Minus the rational and reasonable integration of multiculturalism, this lucky nation will continue to be disadvantaged in expressing its full potentials.
