Malaysia was never built for only one community, says Salleh
Sabah Umno veteran Salleh Said Keruak says every community must feel that they have a place, a voice and a stake in the country’s future.
In a Facebook post ahead of National Day and Sabah Day, veteran Sabah Umno leader Salleh Said Keruak emphasized that Malaysia was never constructed for a single race or religion, or a select few politicians. Instead, he asserted that the nation belonged to all Malaysians. "Every community must feel they have a place, a voice, and a stake in the country’s future," Salleh stated.
The former Sabah chief minister, now 84, emphasized that Malaysia's strength lies in its diversity. The country's present appearance is a result of the contributions of various ethnic communities, he explained. However, Salleh clarified that Malaysia doesn't just belong to the current generation; it also encompasses the next one.
The nation's future must be united, fair, prosperous, and confident, according to Salleh. He further reiterated that nation-building is an ongoing process, and while we should honor the past, it is our duty to ensure that the foundations we have established today remain robust for future generations.
