I strongly believe that our government should implement a single stream school in order to help in the success of the 1 Malaysia concept as it would nurture a sense of unity among students. Through single stream school, multiracial students could mingle and interact more effectively among them in a harmony environment. In addition, Mandarin and Tamil languages can be offered as elective subjects so that students can learn their friends’ mother-tongues and I beleive that this can help a lot in putting 1 Malaysia into success.
ReplyDeleteBasically I feel that the main objective of 1 Malaysia is to unite Malaysian which we know that contain Malay, Chinese, Indian, and others. Through the concept of 1 Malaysia, it is hoped that Malaysia will be as one,no matter what races they are.

'One Malaysia’, People First, Performance Now.' It was meant to indicate that no one in this country would be sidelined but that affirmative action policies will continue to persist in the aid of one particular race and that the special rights of Malays to be retained. I think,'One Malaysia' must anchored by two key principles, namely mutual respect and confidence between each other. If we respect each other means we have an open attitude to appreciate the concept of unity. In addition, I believe that 'One Malaysia' will be more meaningful if it gives more opportunities to the Malays without seizing the rights of others. To increase the business opportunities and growth of cities throughout the Malay countries. Malay eradicate poverty in rural and urban areas. Help more opportunities for Malay children get the skills and opportunities to further their studies to the University.

I agreed with Che Mohd Shah that through 'One Malaysia’no one in this country would be sidelined. However, I don't see how 1 Malaysia can provide more opportunities to the Malays without seizing the rights of others because it will the same policy as before when Malay receive more opportunities compare to other races.I beleive that our current government with Dato' Seri Najib Tun Razak as the Prime Minister, the appropiate actions will taken into consideration for the better life of the Malays.

In my opinion 1Malaysia is a unique idea. Sincewe live in a multiracial country we should live in tolerance and respect one another despite of different sex, race and religion. IMalaysia does not discuss about the priority of each race but 1Malaysia is more about unity. The people of each country place a very important role in order to achieve a better economic can growth. The development of the country be implemented smoothly if there is unity
ReplyDeleteLast but not least, I think that "What is 1 Malaysia", the answer is as simple as all Malaysian cirizen should unite and think as we are one, putting aside the different in races, religions, and politics. When we think we as one, then the concept of unity will be easier to achieve.

What is One Malaysia? This has been troubling supporters of Umno since Datuk Seri Najib Tun Abdul Razak announced it in his maiden speech as prime minister nine days ago.
ReplyDeleteOpposition parties have claimed it mirrored the Malaysian Malaysia concept championed by the DAP and, before that, the PAP under Lee Kuan Yew when Singapore was part of Malaysia.
This claim has troubled Barisan Nasional politicians aiming to regroup after the coalition’s disastrous Election 2008 outing.
Today, the Umno-owned Mingguan Malaysia refuted that connotation in an opinion piece and put in perspective that One Malaysia means no one in the country will be sidelined but affirmative action policies will continue.
In not too many words, it remains faithful to the two planks of the National Economic Policy (NEP) – the eradication of poverty irrespective of race and economic restructuring that was launched by Najib’s father Tun Abdul Razak Hussein in the aftermath of the May 13 race riots.
The opinion piece headlined ‘Satu Malaysia versi sebenar’ by Awang Selamat, a pseudonym used by the newspaper’s editors, allayed fears that Najib will end the NEP and ensure equality for all.
Among others, Awang wrote, it included elements of development based on unity and integration, the people’s interests and excellence to push the country’s progress, adding he was glad when Najib denied it had anything to do with a ‘Malaysian Malaysia’ although the government would be fair to all races to transform the country.
“Awang hopes the true version of One Malaysia is understood clearly. The affirmative policies to help the Malays who really poor and left behind (compared to other races) will continue.
“Indeed there is a need to continue the affirmative policies due to historical realities and the social contract while the government intensifies efforts to increase the quality of life for all,” he wrote.
While Mingguan Malaysia, which enjoys wide circulation in Malaysia’s rural areas where Umno still commands majority support and respect, has made its definition, it remains to be seen how Najib will put the slogan into action.
However, it is clear that the concept will not work with a top-down approach as Malaysians become more aware of the power of their vote and are willing to shop around for a political party or coalition more in tune with their desires and needs.
While the economy is at the forefront of their minds, Malaysians – particularly the young and those in the urban areas – have been clamouring for an independent judiciary, respectable police force, equal treatment and politicians who don’t speak from both sides of their mouths.
They have been demanding reforms in various government policies and institutions, handing former prime minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, a huge mandate in the 2004 elections but taking it back in 2008 when the reforms faltered.
The country’s sixth prime minister has added “People First, Performance Now” to his One Malaysia concept to recapture the people’s confidence and it will be up to him and his cabinet, which has already been maligned by the opposition, to ensure they live up to his slogan. And ensure that his “One Malaysia” is the same as their “One Malaysia”.

The one thing that that is lacking in the concept of 1 Malaysia is tehe fact that we should be one people without preferential treatment or bias, regardless of our beliefs, our politics, our race and even our gender and sexual orientation. When it comes to good of nation these should all be minor issues. Yet, not all of us see it as such. Some are pushing for a more conservative, religious state, to the point that colouring books must be "Syariah compliant". I'll let you all simmer on that idea for a while.
ReplyDeleteOthers, such as myself, want to liberalise basically anything about the sexual rights to religious conversion, to media and perhaps later. Some may want the total repeal of the Internal Security Act.
I think this nation is big enough for everyone, perhaps even big enough for the next few generations as well. However, the fact remains that there are those who think they are saving our souls and that justifies the loss of liberty and perhaps even diversity.One that is monotonous, automatic, autocratic, authoritarian and inhumane. We are a nation where intellectual discourse on sensitive matters is not only frowned upon, but prostested againt and even politically influenced. Malaysian have to understand a simple fact.We are diverse nation in term of politics, and sexual orientation. And we have tio accept that an open heart, if more with an open mind.
Conclusion
Let's face facts. You're not happy with me being who I am ang What I am. Similarly, I may not agree with all of you being either religious conservatives.
