PETALING JAYA: Having been served with the smallest slice of the pie from Budget 2023, groups working with the National Unity Ministry say more funds are needed to implement effective programmes.
More allocations should be provided to carry out meaningful and sustainable programmes aimed at promoting unity, said Malaysian Unity Foundation trustee Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.“There is nothing more important than this to ensure people will not fall towards any form of hate-laced propaganda.
“There has to be some sort of regulation here, such as a National Harmony and Reconciliation Act, to ensure things do not go out of hand. “There are plans to propose national, state and district level youth engagements related towards unity and they all require a substantial cost. Under the flagship Kembara Perpaduan Malaysia Madani campaign programmes, Mohd Izzat said the MYC had to adapt towards integrating itself into the programme’s existing framework instead of initiating something new.“This includes exploring how we can complement the ministry in promoting education and awareness on nationhood, and providing expertise, connections and resources to support the ministry at various levels, among others.
“For example, the MYC can co-organise forums or dialogues on countering extremism with organisations contributing panellists and perspectives alongside receiving venue sponsors,” he said. “With challenges to the nation on the historical and intellectual front, budget allocations for these agencies must place it as the superstructure of the education system,” he said.
