One day, Mei Ling and Sabrina jogged around a garden behind
their house. Suddenly, they met Kamala on their way to the
playground. ‘Hi!’ said Mei Ling and Sabrina. Kamala waved her
hand and smiled back to them.
Sabrina felt a little bit tired therefore invited her friend to
sit on a bench near by. While they were resting and taking some
fresh air, Mei Ling suddenly asked “Have you finished the essay
on peace, racial and harmony that Miss Anizah gave this morning?
I don’t know what to write in that essay.” “I also don’t know
what the point in that essay,” said Kamala.
“Come on girls, let’s think of some ideas on the essay,”
suggested Sabrina to them. Mei Ling and Kamala agreed. They were
quiet for a few minutes. “You can see that Malaysia is a peace
and harmony country. There is no war,” Sabrina started their
conversation.
“Yeah! Everybody in Malaysia lived in harmony although Malaysia
filled with many races and religion,” Kamala gave her opinion.
Mei Ling still quiet. They thought for another point. ‘Before
our country independent, we were colonized by British, Japan and
many other big country,’ said Mei Ling.
‘But our leader, Tunku Abdul Rahman had done everything to be an
independent our country from all the colonies,’ continued Mei
Ling. Kamala and Sabrina listened carefully to what Mei Ling was
saying. ‘That is why Tunku Abdul Rahman called “Father of
Independence”. We should thank him for his effort,’ Sabrina
added some more information.
“We should be grateful because we’re born in this peace and
harmony country with many races, religion, tradition and
culture. What do you say?” asked Sabrina. They all agreed with
Sabrina. After that they all went home.
