This year is a year where Malaysia Boleh, Cemerlang Gemilang Terbilang, etc is hardly heard because of 1Malaysia.
It is absolutely annoying to see all these corporations depend on the 1Malaysia theme in their National Day advertisements. Ugh. Get some creativity, won't you?
The worst one, I believe, has to be an ad by IMU that has a big number 1 . Not to promote 1Malaysia, but promoting their new course in chinese meds. DASH UNDERSCORE DASH MAAAAN.
1Malaysia is a "something" that the government birthed to encourage the various races in Malaysia to live in harmony. And also to remind us that we are living in 1 country under 1 government with 1 people who have 1 vision and dream for their beloved country.
Personally I find these messages to be redundant-we have been living together harmoniously for the past five decades or so.
What I want from 1Malaysia is 1GOVERNMENT. One that has the opposition and BN working together for the good of the people of the country.
A government that doesn't give double standards to the opposition political parties.
A government that doesn't view the opposition as below par compared to BN.
A government that doesn't view every opposition win in a by election as a threat.
Hey you ministers, put aside your different badges of political parties and set aside your differences for once, will you? The rakyat NEEDS a leader who is wise enough to not care about political gains.
Live what you preach. 1Malaysia cannot happen if Pakatan blames BN when riots happen, when BN threatens to sue a member of the Pakatan and when both parties act like schoolchildren who only care about their playground popularity.
Your language is unique.
Your people are awesome.
Your food is out of this world.
Can't say much bout them forever bickering politicians though.
Happy 52nd Malaysia.

Amen.
I always knew I didn't quite agree with the 1Malaysia thing, but you've so articulately pointed out why.
"What I want from 1Malaysia is 1GOVERNMENT."
Woman, if you ever end up running for politics ke ape, you got my vote.
Eh. Happy Merdeka lah.
All this hype about Merdeka/National Day always gets me mixed up between Malaya's Independence and the formation of Malaysia. We've had independence for 52 years but Malaysia is really only 46 years old, no?
1Malaysia = National cliche
