(Kuching, 9th) The Madani government emphasized that it will continue to strengthen unity and harmony among the various races, religions, and cultures, especially as the nation faces increasingly complex challenges.
Minister of National Unity, Dato’ Aaron Dagang, stated that in line with the 13th Malaysia Plan (RMK-13), the National Integration Research and Training Institute (IKLIN) will be upgraded to a “Unity Centre of Excellence”, serving as a key driver in the nation’s unity ecosystem.
He said that to ensure IKLIN plays an efficient and impactful role, the government will formulate a comprehensive, integrated, and data-driven action blueprint to manage and monitor issues such as hate speech that could undermine social harmony.
In a statement issued yesterday, he noted: “Strategies include establishing a high-impact research center focused on national unity, inter-ethnic relations, and analyzing hate speech and narratives in our country, to ensure that IKLIN operates more effectively.”
In addition, he said that IKLIN will strengthen its role as a strategic reference center, with the capability to provide data analysis, policy recommendations, and advice, covering areas of unity, conflict management, and national integration, to support the government in formulating more systematic and effective policies.
In terms of human capital, the government will also enhance the training of 'social engineers for unity', by strengthening competencies in relevant fields so that they can serve as agents of social transformation at the grassroots level.
He pointed out that these efforts reflect the Madani government’s commitment to building an inclusive, progressive, and resilient national foundation; this is not just a vision, but also a key requirement to ensure political stability, economic prosperity, and the well-being of the people.
He said, “Therefore, my ministry will continue to ensure that every initiative is anchored in the core values of compassion, respect, and trust, in line with the Madani philosophy.”
