KUALA LUMPUR, Tues: Following the excitement of the 1st Young Malaysians’
Roundtable on April 3, 2007, the Centre for Public Policy Studies (CPPS) and the
National Young Lawyers Committee (NYLC) presented the Roundtable’s 20-point Consensus Documentto Datuk Dr. Maximus Ongkili, Minister in the Prime
Minister's Department at Parliament today.
The Document was presented to him in his capacity as Head of
the Parliamentary Select Committee on National Unity, and Head of the National
Unity & Integration Department.
The Document elaborates recommendations towards improving national unity in
Malaysia, and highlights the important roles young Malaysians play in national
development.
It calls for greater space to conduct open and constructive
dialogue, stressing shared and common values in place of racist ideologies and
ethno-religious politics.
Ongkili said that he would study the Document in detail, noting that there were
new and fresh perspectives therein, which would be brought up when tabling the
Document at the next National Unity Panel meeting.
He encouraged the continuation of similar discussions, saying
in particular that young professionals such as those represented at the
Roundtable should be applauded for their efforts to forge a young Malaysian
identity towards national unity.
He looks forward to the nationwide study which is planned to be conducted
jointly by CPPS and NYLC this year, and hopes that views from East Malaysia are
also incorporated in all discussions on national unity.
Tricia Yeoh, Max Say, Hasma Rini and Aini Salwa represented CPPS whilst NYLC was
represented by Dipendra Harshad Rai, Desmond Ho, Noreen Ariff, Lai Chee Hoe and
Edmund Bon.
