Reframing Universal Peace Philosophy in Malaysian Context

Malaysia has remained peaceful since independence as a result of the implementation of ideologies and policies that consider the interests of all people in the country. Its moderate ideologies and policies are formulated to pledge continuous peace and stability, and the people always felt safe and were able to enjoy the benefits of development provided by the government. Besides United Nations peacebuilding activities which aimed at assisting countries from conflict, Malaysia is relatively free from such challenge. However, as the twenty-first century unfolds, Malaysia faces worsening ethical, political, ecological, and spiritual challenges. These challenges must be addressed in order to achieve universal peace. This qualitative study analyses the Malaysian framework based on its own philosophy and challenges, with emphasis on the issue. Clearly, the crisis needs to be addressed through a metaphysical principle of reality, found in the Divine philosophy.
