Do you know what is this year's Merdeka and Malaysia Day theme? Have you seen the logo? Here's a brief description of what the theme and logo means.

Today, we commemorate the global call for peace on the International Day of Peace, universally observed annually on 21 September. In 2023, the theme "Actions for Peace: Our Ambition for the #GlobalGoals" serves as an emphatic call to action, highlighting our shared responsibility to nurture peace, both as individuals and as a collective entity. Aligned with this message, the ASEAN-IPR remains steadfast in its motto of "Forging and Fostering Peace." Peacebuilding is not merely a facet of our work; it constitutes the very core of our mission. On this very day, the ASEAN-IPR's Governing Council and Advisory Board convene in the enchanting city of Yogyakarta; delibrating on strategies to advance positive peace in the region. May the spirit of peace today radiate outward from our region to every corner of the world. #ASEAN #ASEAN_IPR #peace #reconciliation #ASEAN4Peace #ForgingandFosteringPeace #InternationalPeaceDay

#UnityForProgress I recently shared my views in an interview with Berita Harian on His Majesty's important titah calling for Malaysia to maintain its unity government. The King emphasized that unity across diverse communities is crucial for stability and advancement.  In the interview, I spoke about how the unity government model has allowed us to navigate challenging times and keep the needs of the people as our top priority. When different parties come together in the spirit of cooperation over conflict, we can achieve so much more for our nation. While different views will always exist in a democracy, periods of crisis like the ongoing pandemic require us to put aside differences. As the King rightly said, the unity government deserves to be respected and upheld. Only through unity can we effectively address shared challenges and maximize our potential. Looking ahead, we must strengthen the bonds of trust between all Malaysians. Unity is our strength when we work as one towards goals of justice, shared prosperity and national progress. The King's reminder to maintain unity could not be timelier or more important. #UnityGovernment #NationalUnity #Progress #King #Titah #Pandemic #Crisis #Diversity #Justice #Prosperity #Stability #Cooperation #Trust #SharedFuture #NationBuilding #Politics #Leadership #Malaysia https://lnkd.in/dZcc5dtz

Today marks Pancasila Sanctification Day in Indonesia. The day commemorates Pancasila's triumph over communism, which threatened to convert Indonesia into a communist state back in 1965. Yet, despite the eradication of threatening organizations, we have yet to see the full power of Pancasila. Why? Because the five elements that make up Pancasila have not been fully realized. Humanity and unity are scarce, and democracy guided by wisdom, social justice are hopefully still in the making. Even belief in God is only true to a certain extent. No wonder we have not managed to create a just and prosperous society, let alone fulfilling the constitution's mandate to educate the nation. Perhaps we must learn to rediscover Indonesia, perhaps from the late #Singapore PM Lee Kwan Yew. #Indonesia #SelfDiscovery
