PETALING JAYA: Former journalist Romen Bose, who became Najib Razak’s political communications consultant, says a new power-sharing arrangement among races is the way to bring about greater unity in the country.

It is important for Malaysia to undergo a transition from a race-based society to a merit-based one so that all could compete in the global marketplace, he said in a closing keynote address at a forum on “Projek Amanat Negara XIX – Perpaduan: Our Country’s Contradiction”.
