Malaysia has always been the Asian melting pot of culture and race, and it looks like as the eras go by, our different cultures and races are truly melting harmoniously into each other.
Case in point would be Emellia (@emelliashariff)‘s family, as she showcased on the @twt_malaysia Twitter account, which she is currently curating. She comes from a Malay-Hainanese Chinese family which loves and celebrates each other, and in conjunction with that notion, she urged Malaysians to share pictures displaying their uniquely multi-ethnic families and backgrounds with the hashtag #MalaysiaUnites.
What's your #MalaysiaUnites story? Come share with us! ??

There’s nothing more heartwarming than these tweets that prove we can beat the haters who try to divide us as Malaysians with the spirit of multicultural friends and family.
