///PETALING JAYA: The 1Malaysia concept should not be misused by anyone as it is meant to foster greater unity, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
The concept’s meaning and appreciation, he said, should be based on three core principles – acceptance, nationhood, and social justice.
“I hope the 1Malaysia concept will lead towards stronger unity. It brings the appreciation of unity to a higher level from tolerance to acceptance.
“It should not be misused by anyone to push for extreme or unreasonable demands,” he said yesterday.///– http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2009/5/25/nation/3975832&sec=nation

Najib started the propaganda that his administration would follow 1Malaysia concept, and unless he misuses his statement as a slogan, nobody else in the country could ever misuse it. Under the concept of 1Malaysia, justice and accountability are reasonable demands. No demand towards achieving unity in the country could be considered extreme and unreasonable unless the demand was for a status quo of discriminatory policies initiated by UMNO.
NEP is a discriminatory policy, and Razak promised a fixed 20-year period to implement them to prevent a recurrence of May 13. The 20 years period passed in 1991, but NEP is still on now, 18 years after its expiry date.

Tan Sri Abdullah Ahmad revealed that he was with the late Tun Razak on the late afternoon of May 13 1969. He said that it was half an hour too late when Razak phoned Harun Idris, the MB doubtful at that time to tell him to disperse his supporters at his residence. Harun called Razak back soon after to inform Razak that it was too late aas the May 13 riots started. Razak could have ensured that Harun did not organize what ended up as May 13. He did not but he added salt to wounds by initiating the 20-year long NEP against non-Malays to pretend that May 13 was not orchestrated.

The people including the Malays did not make extreme or unreasonable demands after May 13. It was UMNO leaders which formulated and implemented extreme and unreasonable policies which discriminate against the minority groups. The UMNO members follow the lead of UMNO leaders and they have since acquired the mindset believing that the discriminatory treatment against the minority groups is their birth right. If Najib intends to depart from the wrong politics of the past which brings the country to destruction, he should remove the thought that he could play God better than God in the co-called social engineering. The national services training that he presided over would never bring about unity in the country if the discriminatory policy remains. To stop the liquid in the pot boils over, one turns off the flame. For 1Malaysia concept to bear fruits, NEP should be dropped.

When Najib is not willing to return power to the people to decide the next legitimate government in Perak can we trust him that he would stop the practice of using racist politics which came with the captured vote banks? When Najib was even willing to present himself as the head of a police state just to keep Perak government which he could do without, he has demonstrated that he knew no shame.

The late President Roh of South Vietnam committed suicide because he was ashamed not living up to the expectation of a President for South Korea. Do Malaysians have any expectation of their prime Minister?
