Playing together, standing together
Malaysia is a multiracial country. People of many races - Malay, Chinese, Indian and others - live side by side. Sport is a wonderful way to bring them closer, because on a team it does not matter what race you are. Everyone plays for the same goal.
How sport builds unity
- Team-mates of different races train and win together.
- When Malaysia plays, the whole nation cheers as one, waving the Jalur Gemilang flag.
- Sport teaches respect, fair play and friendship between all people.
Key idea
Sport helps different races work together, share joy and feel proud as one Malaysian family. This strengthens unity (perpaduan).
Remember
- Malaysia is a multiracial country.
- Teams mix players of different races who play for one goal.
- Sport builds unity, respect and friendship.
