Aspects of 1Malaysia

One Malaysia carries a meaning from the aspect of the government’s commitment that each ethnic group should receive assistance and protection from the government so that the country emerges as one that practises the principle of social justice.

Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak , Prime Minister 3rd April 2009 unveiled a new concept- One Malaysia - as a guiding principle to build a united and progressive Malaysian nation in 21st century. The two paramount cardinal principles underlie in One Malaysia concept is to inculcate the sprit and values of togetherness and a sense of belonging among Malaysians, regardless of race ,religion and creed.

Just what exactly is the meaning and definition of the “1 Malaysia” concept that our dearly beloved Prime Minister has been promoting since his elevation to office? According to his answer in Parliament to 14 MPs from across party lines, it’s not a new concept. In fact, he states that it’s the goal of national unity envisioned by past prime ministers of this nation with a different approach and method according to the current condition of the world. The Prime Minister also states, on record, that the 1 Malaysia concept is the guideline on how to achieve “bangsa Malaysia”, which translates into English as a “Malaysian race”.

According to DAP’s website, one of its objectives is to establish a social democratic government based on “a Malaysian Malaysia concept by forging  Malaysian race with universal moral values”.

Our Prime Minister also states that the primary aspect of the One Malaysia concept has three core elements. These are:
• Mutual acceptance amongst the races and peoples of Malaysia
• Nationalism based on principles of the Federal Constitution and the Rukunegara

Social justice

“One Malaysia, People First, Performance Now” is quite an all-encompassing

concept.”
