"Use differences to unite, not to ignite."
Last Thursday, not only me but the majority of Malaysians gathered with friends, families, and communities to celebrate Deepavali with murukkus, open houses, and colorful attire, or at least enjoyed the mid-week festive break. It occurred to me that it’s in these small moments that you truly feel the uniqueness of Malaysia, where our diversity doesn’t set us apart, instead it only brings us closer together.
This took me back to an engagement session I had with En Fahmi I. in August, where he shared something that stuck with me: “Use differences to unite, not to ignite.” He mentioned this in the context of working together, reminding us to appreciate and learn from our differences, whether in experience or expertise, rather than letting them lead to criticism or envy.
For me, those words feel just as relevant in a broader sense. Whether it’s during festivities, in the workplace, or anywhere for that matter, when people come together, the uniqueness that they bring to the table adds another layer to what makes our community and nation special. Our differences shouldn’t divide us; they should make us stronger and more connected.
What’s one thing about Malaysia’s diversity that you appreciate the most?
