00:15 Azmil Zabidi is a man on a mission.
00:20 The 36-year-old police officer has been travelling from school to school
00:24 giving motivational talks in a bid to battle racial prejudices.
00:29 Indeed, what started out as a stopgap role has turned full-time for Azmil.
00:34 At first, I was helping, but I didn't expect it to go this far.
00:40 So, maybe that's why people say I'm a rock.
00:45 A rock for me to motivate my students.
00:49 The secret to his success?
00:51 Singing, dancing and cracking rambunctious jokes to gain the children's attention
00:56 helped in no small measure by his background as a fitness instructor.
01:00 I taught a robot dance to the students.
01:13 I have a strong voice, so I used discipline to teach the robot dance.
01:20 That's how I started.
01:23 Despite his imposing figure, Azmil has managed to foster relations with his young audience
01:28 due to his prowess in several languages.
01:31 He is able to converse in Chinese and Tamil
01:34 which helps him communicate better with the students.
01:37 Azmil said his efforts appear to have paid off
01:40 with many students now mingling more freely with their peers.
01:44 On Merdeka Day, he hopes that all Malaysians will set aside their differences
01:48 and fully focus on fostering unity and cultural diversity.
01:52 Let's forget politics for a while.
01:54 Let's focus on the 31st of August, which we celebrate once a year.
02:00 Let's set a good example for our children.
02:03 Remember, sometimes food in Malaysia can bring people together.
02:08 There are people from China who like nasi lemak,
02:11 from India who like nasi lemak, Malays like it,
02:13 from Thailand, Malays like it.
02:15 So, our country is unique.
02:17 Don't let it be ruined by an inappropriate situation.
