Gabungan Patriotisme dan Perpaduan Kebangsaan (GPPK) Launched

Amid heightened politicking ahead of the six state elections, more than 60 non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and individuals have come together to launch the Gabungan Patriotisme dan Perpaduan Kebangsaan (GPPK) or National Coalition of Patriotism and Unity.

The GPPK was formed to give a voice to the people and advocate national unity based on the Rukun Negara, Federal Constitution and the laws, said its interim president Brig Jen (Rtd) Datuk Mohamed Arshad Raji.

“We came together because we share the same determination and aspirations, to see Malaysia and its multiracial, multi-cultural and multi-religious people living together as one big family.

“This family practises mutual understanding, friendship, harmony, love, tolerance, and respect for each other with no prejudice just because we are of different races, cultures and beliefs.

“A country can never advance without national unity,” the National Patriots Association president said.

GPPK interim deputy president Stanley Yong said it served as a platform for ordinary Malaysians to amplify and have their voices heard in promoting harmony.

“We understand that Malaysians increasingly desire a better Malaysia. Together, we shall seek reconciliation to strive for the common good,” he said.

Yong, who is Gabungan Bertindak Malaysia president, said that national unity has been the pillar of social cohesion to restore peace and stability, build an environment suitable for harmonious ethnic relations and materialise social integration and ensure prosperity.
