malaysian cultures exchange campaign

I as a Malaysian, I actually feel glad that I was born here because Malaysia is hailed all over the world as a shining example of a successful multi-racial country. One of my many enthusiasms is to get myself involved in cultural program.  A few weeks ago, I had participated in a Malaysian cultural exchange program called ‘Malaysian cultural exchange campaign’. In this campaign, I was one of the representatives of Johor at the campaign to promote the diversity of Johor’s cultures. In that event, my friend and I wore Malay dress and had obtained much praises from the public. Moreover, I saw a lot of the representatives were wearing different cultural dresses although they are not the race for the dresses. Like Malay wore cheongsam and sari, Indians wore Iban and Kadazan dress, Chinese wore malay dress and so on. It shows that all Malaysians to live and work harmoniously are still evident even after 54 years of independence. This program had attracted to a number of international students and they took a look on our exhibition book of about Johor. My group members and I had tried our best to explain to them what and how Johor like. They gave us a quite satisfied mark on our explanation. By this event, I realize that racial integration is very important for the country development. This event lasted 6 hours from 10am to 5pm. During this time, I had been exposed to many minority cultures Malaysia has, like Hamdolok culture that can be found in Johor, Bapa and Nyonya culture in melaka, orang jawa culture in different parts of Malaysia and many again.

As a Malaysian citizen, we have the responsibility of promoting how good and advance our country is rather than spoiling its image. Beside of this program, I have also been participating a lot of integration programs such as HIMPUN which was a 3 days 2 night camp.  This camp was hold by UUM at the aim of encouraging students from different races to live and mix with other races. I hope there will have such program and activity in this coming semester, because it’s undeniable that Malaysians are very fortunate to having a diversity of cultures life in Malaysia.
