Malay Unity?

They say Malay unity is at it's lowest!. How do you measure 'unity'? What kind of 'yard-stick' do you use?

Firstly, what is unity? Well, if you check in the net and it says, "oneness: the quality of being united into one".

People gets divided mainly by economic reasons. Separation of unity gets more obvious when hereditary comes into the picture. Hereditary is simply, having title or possession through inheritance or by reason of birth.

To me,
hereditary is more of a 'disease' kind of thing. To make matters worst we have mixed marriages, western culture and lifestyle, elite societies etc which also leads to the separation of unity.

So, how do you 'reduce' this separation gap as far as unity is concerned? I've picked 3 most popular suggestions;

1. 'banyakkan berjema'ah di surau-surau dan di masjid-masjid' - everybody is equal
2. 'banyakkan mengerjakan ibadah haji & umrah' - every living soul is equal
3. 'parti politik harus menjamin ketuanan melayu' - which political party? UMNO?
