According to Halimah, the ministry was seeking a public hearing not only to get views and feedback, but also advice, protests and reprimands from the people regarding the issue of unity through the roadshow.
"The era of the government knowing everything has changed and has passed .. it is no longer the government that needs to plan something for the people on the basis of what the government thinks is appropriate.
"We give ample space to the people of all walks of life whether farmers, gardeners, rural or small towns who can together state what they want the government to do and they themselves are involved in the implementation of the plan.
"After the roadshow, we will bring back (all the views and aspirations of the people) to further strengthen the development of the National Unity Action Plan which will be launched this year," she told reporters after the Handover of Temperature Scanners at Enche Besar Hajjah Khalsom Hospital, here, today.

"I want to call on all Malaysians .. there is no need to wait for the government to distribute the flag, this is our responsibility together.
"Let's go to the shop to buy a Jalur Gemilang and put it up in every house. Let Malaysians show the spirit of unity, love for the country, to express support and a sense of responsibility as citizens to look after the homeland, "she said.
