PM to brief Blair on our experience with ethnic diversity

Our dear PM to brief Blair on our experience with ethnic diversity, i.e. how to keep the priciple of 'Divide and Rule' of the former colonial masters?

He he he.

Blair knows better. He's a direct decendant of your former colonial master, Dollah!

PM to brief Blair on our experience with ethnic diversity

PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi is expected to share Malaysia’s experience in dealing with a multi-ethnic and multi-religious community during a meeting with British Prime Minister Tony Blair in New York.

This is likely to take place on the sidelines of the 60th United Nations General Assembly on Sept 14-16.

Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar said London, which was traumatised by the July blasts, wanted to know how Kuala Lumpur tackled issues on ethnicity and religion.

“Britain is interested to find out how we won the hearts and minds of people of various races and how the Malaysian community comprising different religions, traditions and ethnic beliefs can live together in peace,” he said.

He said Abdullah would also hold a bilateral meeting with new Iranian President Dr Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

“We are looking forward to this as we enjoy close relations with Iran,” he said.

Abdullah will also attend the Second Asean-United Nations Summit, the Special High Level Roundtable on Information Communications Technology and the informal Summit of Heads of State or Government on Inter-Religious, Inter-Cultural and Inter-Civilisation dialogue and cooperation.

The Prime Minister is also expected to sign the International Convention for the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism and to ratify the World Health Organisation framework Convention on Tobacco Control.

On the general assembly, Syed Hamid said several outstanding issues would be discussed, including the expansion of the UN Security Council and disarmament.

“Malaysia is in support of a total ban on weapons of mass destruction, and we feel the issue of disarmament is insufficiently addressed,” he said.
