Why Sama-Sama?
It’s a profoundly powerful Malaysian phrase which we hope will kickstart
a movement.
The phrase “sama-sama” in Malay has 3 meanings:
1) “We are the same” – equality
2) “We are together” – unity
3) “You are welcome” – civility
We hope this “sama-sama” concept will inspire Malaysians everywhere
to have empathetic, constructive conversations, regardless of our differences.
No more arguments or dramatic debates.
It’s time to talk, sama-sama.
