The mindset of the Malaysians of Indian origin must be recreated to ensure that a united multiethnic culture is developed , nurtured and promoted. A meta-paradigm must be established where the Umno-BN created race-based mental construct is dismantled and replaced with a more advanced inter-racial unity.
It is towards this greater unity that the leaders of Pakatan Rakyat must strive for, shedding once and for all the ethnic prejudices that hindered the formation of a Malaysian nation united through the beauty of diversity.
Comprehensive-structured training models outlining the need for multiethnic unity must be developed and taught to the Indians who are still steeped in the fallacy of Umno -BN racism. The contents of this training module must be developed by a panel of experts in the field of inter- cultural mind and race relations.
Only through this type of training programmes can the Indians be firmly integrated into the body politic of PKR.
Due the massive influx of Indians into PKR, especially after the recent general elections, it is vital that these training programmes are conducted as soon as possible so that the Indian mind thinks beyond the narrow confines of racial politics.
Only then will PKR's philosophy of a united plural Malaysia be realised in the long run. This will consolidate further the unity within the Pakatan Rakyat fraternity. The promise of a higher unity in the new Malaysia agenda as conceived and propounded by Anwar Ibrahim must be fulfilled.
Malaysians of varied culture and creed must be united, a super multiethnic culture must gradually evolve from this body of knowledge. It is hoped such trainings will be conducted to bring into full maturity the unity long awaited by the Malaysians of different origins.
