our multi-racial society who live in peace and harmony. In my opinion, I strongly
agree that national unity can be enhanced to strengthen solidarity among all the
various races in this country. In this essay, I will discuss three solid strategies for
enhancing national unity which are every individual needs to be more patriotic,
be respectful of each different culture and mould a future generation that is
tolerant and grateful to be Malaysian.
First and foremost, every individual can play a part in enhancing national unit by
being more patriotic. This is because when we are patriotic we will appreciate
being a Malaysian citizen who has the right to live a peaceful and war-free life.
Moreover, having high patriotism will ensure that we really love our country and
we will not do anything to harm the peace and harmony. For example, every one
of us can respect the ‘Negaraku’ song and our ‘Rukunegara’, fly our national flag
during Independence day and so on. Therefore, if everyone plays their part and
becomes more patriotic, this will easily enhance the spirit of national unity.
Last but not least, truancy can be curbed by encouraging cooperation with local
police authorities and the general public. This means that we can get assistance
from the police as they are the higher authority and they can even set up a ‘Police
Hut’ within the school grounds. Furthermore, the public can report students
wearing uniform who escape by calling or sending sms messages to the school
authorities or even the police. Take for example, to solve this problem we can
organise regular spot checks by police, give the school emergency number to the
shop owners, neighbourhood residents and others. Hence, everyone can
cooperate to reduce cases of truancy.
In a nutshell, the three strategies I have suggested are to be more patriotic
and respectful of each unique culture as well as teach our children to be
more grateful Malaysian citizens. In my opinion, I still strongly believe that
national unity can be enhanced if we all play an active role. I hope that our
government can highlight this issue in the media by organising more
patriotism campaigns so that we can produce a united society that can
contribute productively to the achievement of Vision 2020.
