description The achievement of national unity in Malaysia is a complex undertaking, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of Malaysia's historical context and the transformative developments that have occurred. This disparity arises due to the unique circumstances prevailing in each country. Malaysia exhibits a rich tapestry of racial diversity. It is commonly characterized as a pluralistic country, wherein minority groups preserve their distinct identities despite coexisting within the larger framework of the majority Malay society. Malaysia is currently undergoing a particular process of social integration, which differs from the neighbouring country of Indonesia. In contrast, Indonesia is experiencing a process of assimilation characterized by the unification of races under a single identity. This assimilation entails the minority race conforming to the identity and culture of the majority race. The primary aim of this study is to examine the various concerns and challenges of national unity within the context of present-day Malaysia. The research approach employed in this article is a qualitative methodology, explicitly utilizing a literature review. Gathering data from secondary sources involves accessing various types of written materials such as books, articles, journals, newspaper reports, and reputable websites relevant to the specific topic being investigated. Data analysis uses non-participatory observation and content analysis methodologies to systematically examine communication content by analyzing relevant documents. The findings of the study indicate that in the pursuit of national cohesion in Malaysia, it is imperative for all parties involved to demonstrate reverence and recognition towards the Malay-Islamic identity. This identity serves as a fundamental cornerstone for fostering unity, given the prevailing circumstances and the historical context surrounding the establishment of the Malaysian nation.
