Unity is one of the important elements in maintaining harmony and prosperity among the younger generation in Malaysia. Racial unity among Malaysian youths can be improved using various approaches and measures. This paper aims (1) to assess the level of unity and racial integration among B40 adolescents and (2) to identify the factors that influenced racial unity among the B40 adolescents living in several underprivileged urban areas in Malaysia. The study was developed and conducted based on a quantitative cross-sectional design. A total of 244 adolescents living in three underprivileged urban areas in Kuala Lumpur (Rejang, Ria and Seri Pantai) were selected and responded to a set of questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive and multiple regression tests. Firstly, the findings gathered from the descriptive analysis indicate that the majority (59.8%) of the B40 adolescents living in the underprivileged urban areas have a moderate level of racial unity and integration. Next, the findings gathered from the multiple regression analysis found health factor (β = .539, p <.05) as the main indicator that influenced the level of unity among these people. The spirit of neighborhood, as well as nationalism, indicated 3.1% and 1.4% of the variance that contribute to racial unity among the respondents. In conclusion, the findings of this research have a positive implication in supporting the government's effort to design a comprehensive and strategic plan that includes various community programs to encourage and improve racial unity among the younger generation in the country.
