Peace amidst conflict

Today presents a chance for Malaysians to discover unity in diversity
MH17300PETALING JAYA: As the nation mourns the MH17 tragedy, Malaysian Bar President Christopher Leong urged all citizens to promote peace and avoid conflict.
He said this day should be more than just a day to commemorate those whose lives had been abruptly and tragically taken.
“Let this be a moment where we dedicate ourselves to the cause of building bridges between different ethnic groups and appreciating that diversity and commonality are two sides of the same coin.”
He expressed sympathy and condolences to all those who lost their loved ones, friends and colleagues on flight MH17.
Leong said, “We share deeply in your immeasurable grief and loss and hope that our collective empathy and solidarity will provide some small measure of comfort and strength.”
Leong also said the tragedy should be a reminder that conflicts that occur in other parts of the world could have a lasting impact on our lives.
“We no longer live in isolated, geographically confined communities” and should take steps “to recover peace and harmony in our society, nation and world,” he said.
Leong added, “Regardless of race or religion, irrespective of ideology, the Malaysian Bar calls on each and every Malaysian, each and every peace-loving person, to do his or her utmost to promote peace, to reject conflict, and to value life.
“Whether it be racial tension, religious strife, political disagreement, communal conflicts, outright violence or war, we can all contribute to rebuilding peace.
“While we mourn and remember those who have died, let us also honour their memory by working to preserve life and promote peace, unity and harmony.”
