Race To Equality Virtual Run 2021

Race to Equality aims to initiate a sustainable movement towards greater equality of treatment between Malaysia’s plural ethnicities. In the pursuit of equality, it is Pusat KOMAS’ aspiration that racial discrimination shall be an ostracised and unpopular phenomenon. ‘Race’ in the slogan signifies the positive movement towards Equality and simultaneously refers to a shift of focus from race (the ethnicity) to the ideal of Equality.

‘Race to Equality’ bertujuan untuk memulakan suatu gerakan bermatlamatkan layanan yang saksama terhadap etnik-etnik yang pelbagai di Malaysia. Dalam mengejar kesaksamaan, aspirasi Pusat KOMAS adalah untuk meminggirkan diskriminasi perkauman. ‘Race’ yang terkandung dalam slogan larian maya ini menandakan satu pergerakan yang positif menuju kesaksamaan dan pada masa yang sama mengalih tumpuan daripada kaum kepada kesaksamaan.
