We urge all churches to call their congregations to individual and corporate prayer and reflection against racism and to actions of peace and reconciliation in our beloved Malaysia. It is time that we bury the spectre of May 13 that is raised repeatedly to haunt us as a nation. Contrary to current rhetoric, the different ethnic groups have never been more united than after this 13 th General Election. It is an opportune time for us to create new memories this 13 May 2013, to celebrate our diversity and unwavering commitment to live peacefully with our neighbours. May this be the beginning of a new tradition of 13 May. Together in God’s service, Rev. Dr. Eu Hong Seng Chairman and the Executive Committee The Christian Federation of Malaysia
