Historian Khoo Kay Kim said Malaysians now do not know the meaning of ‘1Malaysia’, ‘keluhuran perlembagaan’ (supemacy of the constitution) and even tourism slogan ‘Malaysia truly Asia’, because their nation's history is no longer important to them.

The emeritus professor in the history department of Universiti Malaya was speaking at today’s book launch and forum of fellow professor Ahmat Adam’s ‘Antara Sejarah dan Mitos’ (‘Between History and Mythology’).

The event was held in a hall at Universiti Malaya’s Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.
