KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 27 — Malaysia should have been united by now but ongoing talks show otherwise, Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said today.
The former prime minister told the National Unity Forum 2010 here that the fact that he had to address the national unity issue showed little progress towards a united nation.
“Malaysia should already be united today,” he said, adding that he did not believe that there will be reforms until there is a change in the mindset of the people.
Abdullah (picture), who was prime minister from October 2003 to April 2009, said he does not want to see the country “burned” over by issues such as racism, favouritism and politically-motivated agendas.
Despite its flaws, he said Malaysia still has a very special place in his heart and should be appreciated by Malaysians.
“Malaysia will always be a home that gives us happiness and lets us enjoy prosperity and its diversity,” said Abdullah.
Pak Lah, you're totally clueless as to why Malaysia is not united until today? The answer is before you. Racism when Umno talks about Malays, MCA talks about Chinese, MIC talks about Indians. Favouritism when meritocracy is not in place. Politically-motivated agendas when 1Malaysia is nothing but an empty vessel! Well, you know the saying - an empty vessel makes the most noise!
