Philosophically Speaking, the Whole World Belongs to Me and
I Belong to the Whole World.
All Countries are My Country.
For This Reason, I Call Myself the Citizen of the World.
If Humanity can be Analogically Described like the Colours of the Rainbow,
Then I am just a Colour in the Whole Spectrum. Nothing More and Nothing Less.
I am Just a Drop in the Ocean of People.
All Good Citizens of the World are My Brothers and Sisters.
In My Faith, I am a Muslim.
In My Generosity, I am an Arab.
In My Taste for Food, I am an Indian.
In My Spirit of Togetherness with others, I am a Malaysian.
In My Common Courtesy, I am a Malay.
In My Work Ethic, I am a Japanese.
In My Adoration Towards Nature, I am a European.
All in all, I am a Universal Man.
One Who believes in the Spirit of Loving, Caring and Sharing.
A Man who Stands for World Peace and Aspires to Create a Better World.

Manusia Universal
Secara Filosofis, Seluruh Dunia Milikku dan
Aku Milik Seluruh Dunia.
Semua Negara adalah Negaraku.
Untuk Itu, Aku Menyebut Diriku Warga Dunia.
Jika Kemanusiaan Dapat Digambarkan Secara Analogiseperti Warna Pelangi,
Maka Aku hanyalah Sebuah Warna dalam Spektrum yang Utuh. Tidak Lebih dan Tidak Kurang.
Aku Hanya Sebuah Titik dalam Samudra Manusia.
Semua Warga Dunia yang Baik adalah Saudara dan Saudariku.
Dalam Imanku, Aku Seorang Muslim.
Dalam Kedermawananku, Aku Seorang Arab.
Dalam Selera Makanku, Aku Seorang India.
Dalam Semangat Kebersamaanku dengan orang lain, Aku Seorang Malaysia.
Dalam Kesopanan Umumku, Aku Seorang Melayu.
Dalam Etos Kerjaku, Aku Seorang Jepang.
Dalam Kekagumanku Terhadap Alam, Aku SeorangEropa.
Secara keseluruhan, Aku adalah Seorang ManusiaUniversal.
Seorang yang meyakini Semangat Cinta, Peduli, dan Berbagi.
Seorang yang Berdiri untuk Perdamaian Dunia dan Beraspirasi untuk Menciptakan Dunia yang LebihBaik.
