It is very important that the new Cabinet is representative of all groups of people and races in Malaysia. The Cabinet cannot only comprise individuals from any one single group or race if the new government is to govern the country effectively. The country’s new leader must accept the reality that Malaysia is a complex country made up many different groups of people and races. This matter is written in the Quran, as God made human beings into many races so that our lives would be made more meaningful and enjoyable through the spirit of friendship and cooperation we can generate between different races. Even before we gained our independence in 1957, Malayan society comprised different races.
