United we stand, divided we fall!

 United we stand, divided we fall!


Although Islam is the official religion of Malaysia, the Federal Constitution also guarantees freedom of religion and practice.

As a multi-racial multi-religious nation, racial and religious harmony is of utmost importance for Malaysia to remain peaceful and united.

“This is why I am making an effort to attend this (Chinese) Phor Thor (Hungry Ghost Festival) annual dinner in Taman Desa to help forge community and national harmony,” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said.

Speaking on the sidelines at the Perayaan Zhong Yuan Desa Jaya Kuala Lumpur & Selangor 126-table dinner in SJK(C) Desa Jaya, Kepong on Sept 19, 2017, Syed Razak said the sluggish global economy had made it even that much more challenging for Malaysians and Malaysia.

“We can only overcome the obstacles and challenges by working together as 1Malaysians, not race or religion. Let’s not mix race, religion and culture with politics or economic interests,” he added.

(Left) Subang Gerakan chairman Chong Chee Yen is in stitches with Syed Razak at the Phor Thor annual dinner.
Syed Razak, who is Gerakan’s nominee to contest N.37 Bukit Lanjan in the coming 14th General Election (GE14), said “we must all subscribe to the idiom that “united we stand, divided we fall”.

“And the only way forward for Malaysia is for Malaysians to help contribute to nation-building by remaining united. This means we must help forge and strengthen national unity and harmony,”he added.

Here’s a selection of pictures at the dinner:

Both terms mean that a person's weight is greater than what's considered healthy for his or her height. How to know whether you are obese? Examination 1: Physical & weight If you've always been a normal weight without having to try too hard, you may consider yourself lucky. But the mirror and the scale only tell part of the story: You can look great in a bikini or have a body-mass index (BMI) in the normal range, but if you don't take care of yourself, you could be just as unhealthy as an obese person. This phenomenon sometimes is known as skinny-fat, or "normal-weight obesity". Despite weight alone can not certainly tell whether you are obese or not, it is the very first vivid sign of obesity symptoms … for more, go to  http://ladyshopnow.com/insight-on-obesity.
