Interestingly, I found out while reading 'A view of Malaysia from across the Causeway' that Paragraph 11, page four of the (GTP) Government Transformation Plan, stated:
“The goal of 1 Malaysia is to make Malaysia … ultimately a greater nation: a nation where, it is hoped, every Malaysian perceives himself or herself as Malaysian first, and by race, religion, geographical region or socio-economic background second and where the principles of 1 Malaysia are woven into the economic, political and social fabric of society.”
Apparently, a Malaysian in Singapore was interviewed and asked the question, “Do you believe that under the Prime Minister’s 1 Malaysia, non-Malays will be fairly treated?” In response, he quoted the goal of 1Malaysia. ;)
