We are Malaysia: It’s a movement of hundreds of young people coming together to speak up and listen to thinkers on the future of Malaysian multiculturalism. You’ll hear from people like Datuk Seri Idris Jala, YB Hannah Yeoh, Dato Zaid Ibrahim and the rebellious pony-tailed Prof. Azmi Sharom.

That’s not all. The future of multiculturalism in Malaysia isn’t just in the hands of those above 30. It’s also about us and us taking part. So we’re issuing a challenge to you: We have 6 days to get 300 youth to this conference. Lets do it, machas! We’ll make it happen!

RSVP your attendance, invite ALL your friends, carpool, and get over here next week on September16th – Malaysia Day!

Come be a part of this historic event as you will get to sign the “Declaration of National Unity” which will be based on the discussions at the dialogue. Facts and findings of the discussion will also go towards a Policy Paper to be tabled to the Government.

You CAN influence policy making and help shape the future of our beloved Malaysia.

Don’t just tolerate, let’s CELEBRATE!

Have YOUR say this Malaysia Day!

Where YOU decide what is racial unity and integration.

The time is now.
