Question 2

Read the following text. Then, answer question (a) (j).

Malaysia diverse, multiracial, multicultural country exudes warmth and love to each and
every one of her people. It is indeed heartening to see people of different beliefs and culture
interacting and communicating with one another in the Bahasa Melayu, the national language, or in
English, a trademark of the colonial rule of the past. The peoples own lingo is also commonly used. It
is this tolerance and the willingness to set aside cultural and religious differences that has enable
Malaysia to move forward as a fast developing and united nation. In short, the peoples tolerance and
love for their motherland has brought her peace, unity and prosperity. That is the very essence of the
catchphrase Unity in diversity.
Malaysias unity in diversity is also evident in cuisines she proudly called her own. Food like
the Assam Laksa and Nasi Dagang, are exotic mouth-watering cuisine of the proud Malaysians.
Malaysian unity is further strengthened through the Malaysian flag, or better known as the
Jalur Gemilang. It consists of 14 red and white stripes of equal width, a dark blue canton that contains
a yellow crescent and a yellow star. The crescent symbolises Islam as the official religion while the 14point star represent the unity of the 13 states and the federal government. The Jalur Gemilang is our
identity of an independent country free from the colonial rule.
Another popular catchphrase that is uniquely Malaysian is Malaysia Boleh! which literally
means Malaysia can do it!. When we won models in the Olympic Games or reached the peak of
Mount Everest, this triumphant phrase is always around. We, Malaysians, always want to be the best,
be it in the local or global scenes.
