Fahmi warns that communalism and corruption can weaken Malaysia’s future

Malaysia's youth should learn the nation's history and value past struggles to maintain peace and unity while opposing corruption.

Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil warns against communism, communalism, and corruption as threats to national stability.

Fahmi emphasises the importance of preserving historical values to ensure Malaysia remains peaceful and united in the future.

KUCHING, Sept 14 — Malaysia’s younger generation must understand the country’s history and appreciate the struggles of previous generations in building a peaceful and united nation, while rejecting corruption that could undermine the country’s future.

Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil said there were three things that could destroy a country, namely communism, communalism and corruption.

He said communism had once posed a major threat to national security, with armed movements, killings and disruptions to public peace capable of undermining Malaysia’s stability.

“Although the threat of communism has been overcome, society must remain vigilant against anything that could undermine unity, including communalism... it can become a threat when someone puts their own race above others to the extent of looking down on or oppressing other races.

“As a leader, I now understand that holding a position is a trust. It is a responsibility and trust given to us to do good, and we must never betray that trust,” he said.

He said this when speaking at the JIWA@Komuniti National Day and Malaysia Day (HKHM) 2026 programme at Politeknik Kuching here today.

Fahmi said the formation of Malaysia was unique as it was achieved through consensus and negotiations, unlike some countries that had to go through conflict or armed struggles to achieve independence.

“Hence, the younger generation has an important role to play in ensuring that the history and values that shaped the country continue to be preserved so that Malaysia remains peaceful, united and progressive in the future,” he said. — Bernama

马来西亚青年应该学习国家历史，珍视过去为维护和平与团结而进行的斗争，同时反对腐败。

通信部长法赫米·法齐尔警告说，共产主义、社群主义和腐败对国家稳定构成威胁。

法米强调保护历史价值观的重要性，以确保马来西亚在未来保持和平与团结。

古晋，9月14日讯——马来西亚的年轻一代必须了解国家的历史，感激前几代人为建设一个和平统一的国家所付出的艰辛努力，同时拒绝可能损害国家未来的腐败行为。

通讯部长拿督斯里法米·法兹尔表示，有三件事会摧毁一个国家，那就是共产主义、种族主义和腐败。

他表示，共产主义曾经对国家安全构成重大威胁，其武装运动、杀戮和扰乱公共秩序的行为都可能破坏马来西亚的稳定。

“虽然共产主义的威胁已被克服，但社会必须对任何可能破坏团结的事物保持警惕，包括社群主义……当有人将自己的种族置于其他种族之上，甚至瞧不起或压迫其他种族时，它就会成为一种威胁。”

他说：“作为一名领导者，我现在明白，担任职位是一种信任。这是赋予我们的责任和信任，让我们为人民谋福祉，我们绝不能辜负这份信任。”

他今天在古晋理工学院举行的 JIWA@Komuniti 2026 年国庆日暨马来西亚日 (HKHM) 活动上发表了上述讲话。

法米表示，马来西亚的成立是独一无二的，因为它是通过共识和谈判实现的，不像一些国家不得不经历冲突或武装斗争才能获得独立。

“因此，年轻一代肩负着重要责任，必须确保塑造国家的历史和价值观得以传承，从而使马来西亚在未来保持和平、团结和进步，”他说道。——马新社
