#OneWithMalaysia

I love my country; I am very patriotic. I was born among the Indians, among the Chinese, among the Malays and among the others. But now we don’t have that any more … we are breaking apart, because of issues created by people who want to make chaos in this country.

“I love my country; I am very patriotic. I was born among the Indians, among the Chinese, among the Malays and among the others. But now we don’t have that any more … we are breaking apart, because of issues created by people who want to make chaos in this country. While in our country, arts is the last priority, as an artiste, I want my songs to be impactful and informative, so the new generation would open their eyes. (Through my songs) I want to say that being together is stronger, to be united is what we need in these times. We cannot be selfish because of our race, we cannot be selfish because of our religion, it is not going to work. We have to be together to make this country more beautiful, more peaceful, and more successful. -Datuk Zainal Abidin Singer”
