KUALA LUMPUR: National unity begins with a conscious effort to understand one another, turning differences into sources of strength and enrichment rather than barriers, Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook said.
Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook emphasized the importance of understanding, kindness, and mutual respect in strengthening national unity and embracing Malaysia's diversity during the Merdeka Blessings Mahāsaṅghikadāna 2026 event in Kuala Lumpur. He highlighted that Malaysia's diversity of ethnicities, religions, cultures, and languages forms the foundation of the nation's strength, underpinned by respect and care.
Loke stressed that simple acts of goodwill can have a profound impact on social cohesion and that Malaysia's independence should be viewed as an ongoing commitment through everyday actions.
