Last night , I received a text message from a friend of mine regarding the essays that will probably come out today .

one of the question he spotted to come out in the exam was , " how to promote unity in Malaysia "

so I made some research regrading this topic .

here's a draft of what I will actually jot down in my answer paper IF the question did really came out :

*****

Despite all our efforts , race relations are at an all-time low in this country . It is time we got serious about achieving racial unity in a genuine manner , as otherwise , we would be risking far too much . The date MAY 13,1969 will always go down as one of the darkest days in the history of our nation . Hence , the goverment has taken various measures to heal the wounds and restore unity for this nation . How can we , Malaysians , promote unity for our country ?

   Unity has to start with the young . It is at school where its early seeds are planted . Teachers must play a great role in motivating students and cultivate an attitude to appreciate different cultures . Students should be encouraged to mingle and play together with other students of different races without looking at their differences .

   On the other hand , this duty should not be hold responsible only for the schools . Early education should start at home . Parents need to show good examples by giving due respect to neighbours , colleagues , friends , or even strangers of various races . They should not speak negatively about other races or religions openly .

   Besides that , goverment agencies need to organize events to promote greater unity . They do not need to wait for festival seasons in order to do so . Also , Non-Govermental Organization including associations , clubs and societies should work together with multinational companies to organize sports events , seminars and camps that includes all races .

   Last but not least , religious leaders who are supposedly to be pious and god fearing should practice high tolerance and always work towards solving the differences in opinion in a friendly and condusive environment .

   In conclusion , the lifestyle of our nation in the past has showed us how the community of the days of old lived together in tolerance and high respect  for different races , cultures , and religion despite some minor hiccups . All Malaysians must bear responsibility to help achieve peace and unity . It is shameful if we fail to continue to embrace the uniqueness of Malaysia .

guess what ?

I actually DID memorise ALL THE TEXTS with hopes that it will actually come out in the real exam . 

well , no luck for that . . .
