Now, this is the true essence of Malaysia – unity and harmony, regardless of race or religion.
Metro reported that a Gurdwara in Ipoh opened its doors to a Muslim brother who couldn’t find a nearby mosque or surau to perform his prayers. Awwh, faith in humanity restored.

A video of the man in a blue shirt went viral all over the internet as it showed him praying towards Mecca as Sikh Hymns were sung on the microphone at Gurdwara Sahib Bercham. A beautiful sight of two faiths praising God in their own way.

This move definitely sets a good example of how one should be more accepting of other races and religions, which is important for a multinational country like us. Hopefully, this video will serve as a reminder for us to be kind to each other every day.
