It’s been a long time such a good thing comes along since the 513 incident (May 13, 1969) which most Malaysian would know the history of it. I’m really glad that something has been done and I really love the fact that all the Malaysian artistes come together to do this zero budget project called ‘Malaysian Artistes for Unity’.

I do believe that we need to be constantly being reminded we are living in a multi racial country and unity is very important, whether we’re different in skin colour but we’re one at heart. I’m sure everybody knows the story of the wooden stick. You can easily break a single wooden stick but when you put a bundle together, it is going to be very hard to break. It’s really a very simple and logical explanation to UNITY.

I still remember those days where I did a project for my church bulletin board. A very simple graphic showing a puzzle with the word ‘UNITY’ but of course a few missing puzzles. Very straight forward answer, with the few missing pieces you can’t form the word ‘UNITY’, so we need to come together like the puzzle to form the whole word ‘UNITY’. I miss those days doing graphical stuff on the bulletin board to encourage one another. Those days are gone; looking at the future and enjoying the present.
