PM: Unity of all races in Malaysia has ensured country's sovereignty - Nation | The Star Online: KUALA LUMPUR: With the approach of Malaysia's 55th Independence Anniversary, Malaysians should not forget that unity of all the races in the country has ensured Malaysia's sovereignty, without which the country would not be what it is today, said Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak. The Prime Minister said there was much to be learned from the lessons brought forth by the country's forefathers. "Let us never forget that it was the unity of our Malay, Chinese and Indian ancestors, and not any one race alone that pushed back the communist insurgents and drove them out. "Let us never forget that we stood with the Iban/Dayak and Kadazan/Dusun people of Sabah and Sarawak, as the nation rose from the backwardness of colonialism.
