Take the 1Malaysia test when faced with racial issues, PM urges
By LEE YUK PENG and P. ARUNA
KUALA LUMPUR: Take the "1Malaysia test" when confronted with racial issues, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has urged Malaysians. The question to ask oneself is whether one's actions could affect people of other races and religions, he said. "Would you be promoting harmony and unity or inciting hatred towards your own race? "Could your actions lead to better understanding among people of different races or the contrary?"
Why is the 1Malaysia test all about one's own race versus people of other races and religions?
Mr. PM, why are you not honouring your own 1Malaysia goal that is to make Malaysia more vibrant, more productive and more competitive – and 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...? If you cannot declare yourself as Malaysian first, Malay second, you are not fit to be PM of 1Malaysia!
