The Ministry of National Unity decided not to establish the National Harmony Commission after consulting various stakeholders and considering feasibility challenges.

Instead, the ministry will strengthen institutions like the Department of National Unity and Integration to manage social harmony.

This decision aims to avoid duplicating functions of existing agencies and reduce the costs of establishing a new entity.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 7 —The Ministry of National Unity (KPN) has decided against establishing the National Harmony Commission (SKN), following a decision by the National Unity Advisory Council at its first meeting of 2026.

In a written reply published on the Parliament website, the ministry said the decision followed two engagement sessions and considered the views of all parties.

“The engagement sessions involved civil society organisations, government agencies, academics, community leaders and various stakeholders to assess the need for, scope and implications of establishing the commission, as well as the challenges and feasibility involved,” the ministry said.

It was responding to a question from Dr V. Sivakumar (PH-Batu Gajah), who asked about the status and timeline for establishing SKN, its proposed enforcement powers, and assurances that it would not duplicate the roles of existing agencies in addressing discrimination and racial tensions.

As such, the ministry will focus on strengthening existing institutions, namely the Department of National Unity and Integration (JPNIN), neighbourhood watch area (KRT) communities and community mediators, as the lead agencies for managing social harmony, in what it sees as a practical, responsive and cost-effective approach.

It also said the decision will avoid duplicating existing agencies’ functions and the costs of setting up a new entity.

At the same time, the ministry can leverage the existing structures, networks and mechanisms developed by JPNIN through KRTs, community mediators, the Community Sensitive Issues Reference Centre (PRISMA), the e-Sepakat system (for managing unity issues), the National Public Community Complaints Network (RAKAN), and its network of unity officers at state and district levels. — Bernama

国家团结部在咨询各利益相关方并考虑可行性挑战后，决定不成立国家和谐委员会。

相反，该部将加强国家团结与融合部等机构，以维护社会和谐。

这项决定旨在避免与现有机构职能重叠，并降低成立新机构的成本。

吉隆坡，10 月 7 日讯——国家团结部 (KPN) 决定不成立国家和谐委员会 (SKN)，此前国家团结咨询委员会在 2026 年第一次会议上做出了这一决定。

该部在议会网站上发表的书面答复中表示，该决定是在两次磋商会议后做出的，并考虑了各方的意见。

该部表示：“此次磋商会议邀请了民间社会组织、政府机构、学者、社区领袖和各利益相关方参与，以评估成立该委员会的必要性、范围和影响，以及所涉及的挑战和可行性。”

这是对 V. Sivakumar 博士（希望联盟-峇都加惹）提出的问题作出的回应。V. Sivakumar 博士询问了有关 SKN 成立的现状和时间表、其拟议的执法权力，以及保证它不会与现有机构在解决歧视和种族紧张局势方面的作用重叠。

因此，该部将着重加强现有机构，即国家团结与融合部（JPNIN）、邻里守望区（KRT）社区和社区调解员，作为管理社会和谐的牵头机构，认为这是一种务实、响应迅速且具有成本效益的方法。
