Dialog Rakyat

Billed as a movement to promote national unity, Dialog Rakyat aims to bring together like-minded individuals and organisations to reject the politics of division and extremism. Two individuals behind this movement - Tan Sri Dr Omar Abdul Rahman, Malaysia’s first national advisor to the Prime Minister and Dato’ Halimah Mohd Said, president of the Association of Voices of Peace, Conscience and Reason - give their views on the state of race relations, the revisionist nostalgia for the “good old days,” and building bridges among people of different political stripes.
