Abstract

On 19 October 2019, IAIS in collaboration with Harmony Malaysia, organised its 5th Annual Conference & Workshop under the theme: ‘Education and Culture in Promoting Harmony and National Integration’. The event was officiated by the Minister in the Prime Ministers Department, Datuk Seri Dr. Mujahid Yusuf Rawa. In his officiating speech, the Minister argued that economic development is not enough for a country without solid national integration and unity. Amid growing social disintegration in Malaysia, where prejudices and mistrust are rife, the Minister assured the audience that the new government aspired towards unity at all costs.
