Kuala lumpur: Yayasan Salam Malaysia (SALAM) will commemorate the 123rd birth anniversary of Malaysia's first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj, by organizing a Unity Explorace and a forum on mental well-being and cultural intelligence on February 8. These unity-themed programmes will be held at the Memorial Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra (MTARP) along Jalan Dato Onn, reflecting Tunku's enduring legacy of goodwill, harmony, and inclusivity.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the Unity Explorace will involve participants exploring both indoor and outdoor exhibition areas of the memorial on foot, answering questions based on Tunku Abdul Rahman's background, achievements, and legacy. The event is designed to promote unity by forming teams with participants from different ethnic backgrounds across both student and adult categories.

SALAM has also appointed M. Govindnair, Malaysian National News Agency's Special Projects Editor, as Clerk of the Course for the Unity Explorace. Govindnair is well-known in local treasure-hunting circles for his challenging questions and cryptic clues.

In addition to the Explorace, SALAM will host a forum focusing on mental well-being, cultural empathy, and cultural intelligence. This forum will feature discussions led by Datuk Dr Andrew Mohanraj, president of the Malaysian Mental Health Association, and Dr Jamel Kaur Singh, an inter-ethnic relations strategist and author based in Melbourne.

The forum aims to offer practical strategies for safeguarding mental well-being, fostering cultural intelligence to enhance cohesion among Malaysia's diverse communities, and promoting greater awareness of national unity. An estimated 400 participants, including students, professionals, parents, government officials, and corporate leaders, are expected to attend.
