PETALING JAYA, Jan 17 ― A group of some 200 Malaysians braved the heavy downpour today to march against racism and discrimination at a “Muhibah Walk” organised at Dataran Petaling Jaya here with local activists.



 The group, which included renowned rights lawyer and activist Datuk S. Ambiga and social activist Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir, appeared oblivious to the torrential downpour as they marched to commemorate what they labelled as a day to celebrate the Malaysian identity.

 At the start of the “Muhibah Walk- Faces Without Races” programme, Ambiga delivered a fiery speech, congratulating the crowd for supporting the cause. “I am so proud of you… all of you. You are doing this for your future. “If the rain doesn’t stop your spirits, then nothing will,” Ambiga said to thunderous applause from the crowd. 

Ambiga and Marina then joined the crowd, all clad in a blue T-shirt that read ‘Muhibah Walk ‘15- Faces Without Races’, in the two kilometer walk around the square, chanting “faces without races” and “saya anak Malaysia” as they marched.

 The event participants, who carried the flags of several states, continued the march throughout the rain, singing patriotic tunes. Marina then took to the stage to deliver her speech, where she congratulated the crowd for their show of unity and spirit “I congratulate you for your spirit… for not letting anything get you down including the weather.

 “As miserable as you might feel right now, at least you got dry homes to go to, so please don’t forget those in Kelantan, Terengganu and now Sabah and Sarawak. “If you want to be united, please don’t forget them,” Marina said.

 She also called on the participants to think of more ways to bring those of different backgrounds together. “This is what creates unity and peace. We should commit ourselves to being the bridge builders and peace makers,” she added to loud applause and cheers from the crowd.

 Event organiser Vision to Transform vice-president Cyrus Gomez said that the event was aimed at building a nation that looks past race, and one that firmly believes on celebrating unity.

公积金白金-援助金 Bantuan Kematian KWSP (EPF death assistance)

天有不测风云，人有旦夕祸福。一些人会不幸身亡，他的家人除了伤心，

也只能节哀顺变了。

很多大马人都不知道，公积金局（KWSP 或 EPF) 所设的白金援助金。。。

所有在EPF有户口的人，无论你EPF的户口开了多久，无论你EPF里还剩多少钱，只要任何一个人的EPF户口还在，他去世时，EPF就必须给他的亲属RM2500的白金（家属必须在6个月内去领，过期后就不行了）。

EPF从不通知我们这个，都不知道多少遇到不幸的家属没领到RM2500的白金???

所以如果有朋友或朋友的朋友，不幸生亡，伤心过后，不要忘了让他的家人，申请公积金白金。(EPF or  KWSP Bantuan Kematian) ， 大力share出去！！！

CSR: Not enough being done to foster unity

By Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye, trustee1Malaysia Foundation | letters@nstp.com.my 0 comments

MULTIRACIAL living and community are part of our history and heritage. They have become an important source of racial integration and have certainly played a part in making Malaysia a harmonious nation.

Unity is a priceless gift that must be preserved by all peace-loving Malaysians.

Even if economics, science and information technology are the driving forces of this era and the future, we must not lose sight of racial harmony and unity.

In the final analysis, economic development would mean nothing without understanding, harmony and unity among the people.

To me, unity among the different communities is the nation's biggest challenge -- the key to our very survival.

It is, therefore, the responsibility of every Malaysian to meet this challenge. The corporate sector, too, has a key role to play.

Over the years, we have heard much about the social responsibility required of the corporate sector where the poor, less fortunate and underprivileged are concerned. However, very little has been said and done about the sector's social responsibility towards the promotion of unity.

While I wish to pay tribute to companies that have delivered towards many charities, I would also like to see that they spare a thought to fulfilling a greater social responsibility towards the nation.

From my observation, the corporate sector has not done much, for example, to promote unity or to help civil society groups play their role in fostering national unity.

What I wish to see is private companies including in their social responsibility agenda activities and programmes that are targeted at promoting unity in our multiracial county, in addition to what has already been done.

In return for such endeavours, the government should provide tax exemptions for such purposes and grant these companies recognition through annual unity awards.
