: Over the course of more than six decades, our nation has faced its share of challenges and ups and downs in the administration of its political, economic and social affairs as well as in its efforts to unite its plural society under one umbrella – Malaysia.
Following the unveiling of this year’s National Day and Malaysia Day theme – Malaysia Madani: Determination in Unity, Fulfilling Hope – and logo earlier this month, Perikatan Nasional Youth chief Ahmad Fadhli Shaari suggested that the four states administered by PN, namely Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu and Perlis, use a different theme and logo for their state-level celebrations.
“The proposal sounds ridiculous and is something that’s difficult to accept because we live in a country that’s governed based on the federal concept. If they go ahead and do it, their action will indirectly have a debilitating effect on the elements of unification and togetherness,” he said.
Penang Malay Historical and Civilisation Association president Datuk Abdul Kader Md Ali said the limitations are important to prevent certain quarters from playing up sensitive issues that can cause disputes and confusion among the people to the point of disrupting the nation’s harmony. He said the use of different National Day themes and logos by the federal government and states ruled by the opposition indicates the existence of disputes which, he added, is something that must be avoided to ensure that harmony prevails and the celebrations go on smoothly.
