NSTopinion: As such, the dynamic of human dignity as a unifying factor in Malaysia has already been adopted by the PH administration to create a better tomorrow for Malaysians irrespective of race, religion and region.
This was one of the reasons why a recent congress on Malay Dignity in Shah Alam, Selangor, had created unnecessary misperceptions, polemics and counter-reactions from a section of the Malaysian community.
However, Dr Mahathir, who was aware of the probable repercussion of his presence, presented his address to the congress in the form of motivation, advising the Malays to redeem the alleged erosion of their dignity through unity of purpose, self-appraisal, and prudent attitudinal shift. From the micro perspective and in the context of Malaysia, human dignity is mainly related to several structural provisions in the Federal Constitution which define the country’s societal and socioeconomic order.
Donnelly explained that the above was built on the preamble of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which stated that “recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world”. These examples are testimonies to the positive characteristic of human dignity as a concept in the current international order, constructed to guarantee fairness, justice and equitability among the global citizens.
