Achieving national unity plan begins with children

I SPOTTED some colourful drawings pasted on a shopping mall’s community board recently. They were products of a colouring contest for children that had been organised in conjunction with the festive season.

For the contest, participants had to colour the images of three figures representing some of the ethnic groups in Malaysia. Taking a closer look, I noticed the skin of the figures were coloured in different shades of intensity. To me, this indicates that Malaysians are very aware of the different skin colour of the people in this country even at a young age.
