1Malaysia?????

what one Malaysia concept are we talking about, how much of 1 Malaysia is really being applied. It is rather astonishing that our very own DPM Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, i think doesn't really understand the concept of 1Malaysia. When asked if his a a Malaysian first or a malay first, he dully replied im a malay first. If this is what 1 Malaysia is all about, then i think we have generally failed to unite all the races into one.

One should be a Malaysian first this is what i believe, and correct me if im wrong, but this is what a true Malaysian would have said. You preach about the importance of unity and the concept of accepting one another, but at the same time you fail to deliver when it matters most. A true and responsible leader would have replied that im a Malaysian, a leader for all the races in Malaysia and it doesn't really matter if im a malay, chinese or indian.

I believe the very first step that we should take is to remove the religion part in our identity card... why must it be there? i dont even understand the logic of it being there (not everyone has this). Next we should remove all Sekolah Jenis Kebangsan in Malaysia. Schools are important, it is where the bonding begins, and it where one has the chance to mingle around with people from different background's and race. Therefore if Malaysia is still going to have chinese and indian schools, then we are definitely starting of late in promoting the unity and concept of 1Malaysia among our younger generation.

It is important to note that im a Malaysian, and will always be one. Therefore i don't think my race and religion will be of any importance if i cannot contribute to my own country. Maybe the leaders of our country ought to put this in their mind
