EDITOR'S PICK For some months now, there has been a lot of talk about what nationalism is about in Malaysia as well as a single Umno vice-president even questioned a faithfulness of some communities only since only really couple of of them ever assimilated a military or armed forces.
While you admire those who give their time, effort as well as even their lives in fortifying a nation, you have been really certain which nationalism means even some-more than that. Patriotism is a feeling in a heart, in bland action, as well as it can be shown in many ways as well as form.
Patriotism is not only about waving or hanging so many flags. It is not about singing a inhabitant song, donning a inhabitant colours, waving a parang or keris, carrying placards, blazing effigies or shouting as well as yelling here as well as there about one's racial supremacy.
It is additionally not about demonstrating ones superiority over a others who share this country, or blindly ancillary a supervision as well as so on.
Such uncomplicated as well as unbecoming displays do not at all reflect a loyal face of a patriot.
Working as well as trade for Malaysia
The actuality is all decent, tough operative as well as tax-paying Malaysian citizens have been patriots of this nation. Those who have businesses as well as trade assistance to emanate economic growth by expanding a nation's commerce.
They lead a pull in forging new partnerships as well as dealings with alternative companies, thereby strengthenening a attention which they have been concerned in as well as assisting to emanate some-more jobs. They work! really tough to come up with continuous improvements in their jobs, as well as this in spin enhances socio-economic development.
So, these people have been additionally loyal patriot! s of thi s nation.
They have been a people who go to work as well as creates a most of each day in sequence to be productive as well as to earn a vital for themselves as well as their families. This loyalist takes upon assorted tasks with all his heart, essence as well as commitment. He does not give up only since a starting gets tough or difficult.
This is what being a loyalist means.
The genuine loyalist is additionally someone who does not give in to absenteeism, who does not rush to take a day off or some-more only since he is feeling underneath a weather or simply since he only doesn't feel similar to starting to work which sold day.
Real patriots minister to a nation
Real patriots have been people who know what respect as well as equality mean. Such a chairman extends these courtesies to everyone at each minute, giving due recognition to a existence of all mankind, their rights, their ethnicities as well as their assorted faiths.
The genuine loyalist is someone who contributes. He functions with joining for what he is given, believes strongly in a beliefs of fairplay as well as does not expect handouts, rewards or favours from a state.
Real patriots have been thus people similar to all of us. Real people who make up a citizenry of this country. For in a wordless actions, you do some-more to assist a growth as well as a social enrichment of Malaysia than any volume of flag-waving as well as slogan-chanting can ever hope to achieve.
This is because Malaysians vital peacefully as well as productively in this nation called Malaysia have been entitled to be called loyal patriots. It is their daily joining to their work which keeps a wheels of a republic churning.
Questioning a faithfulness as well as nationalism of any ethnic group, say a C! hinese o r a Indians or Kadazan Dusun Murut or a Dayak as well as Orang Ulu, is thus tantamount to doubt a sovereignty of Malaysia itself. And this certainly is a most unpatriotic action.
