Positive Attitude Can Preserve Racial Unity, Says Koh

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - The positive attitude adopted by Malaysians of various races will help preserve unity that has existed among them, Minister in the Prime Minister`s Department Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon said on Sunday.

“We have to continue to have a positive attitude although there are differences among us. The important thing is we should also be progressive and liberal, as well as learn from one another,” he said when opening a Lion Dance performance at Universiti Malaya here.

Koh said Malaysians should accept the differences that existed among them and to find similarities which they could share.

On a proposal by the Universiti Malaya`s Lion Dance Association to open its membership to all races, Koh said it was a good move and in tandem with the concept of 1Malaysia mooted by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

Earlier, Universiti Malaya deputy vice-chancellor of student affairs, Associate Professor Dr Azarae Idris, said it would also enhance racial integration at the university.
