The One Malaysia concept

hey people, today i would like to talk something about my country, Malaysia.
I will stand in a neutral point which no bias occurred to any sides to justify my point.

The one malaysia concept was launched April 2009, an effort done by our PM to cultivate values and harmony among the races in Malaysia. When once we heard about the 1Malaysia concept, does it actually mean that the government will treat all Malaysian with equality? Somehow, it engenders certain level of ambiguity by the saying of "1Malaysia". This results to questions arose from the mass media and organizations to demand a further and detailed explanation of the 1Malaysia concept. However, the slogan somewhat creates a positive feeling in the community. In a multiracial country like Malaysia, unity is the highest priority between the races which help us to stay strong for the past 53 years of independence.

Ever since it was launched, it was constantly used by people to spread the 1Malaysia concept to the nation. People often used "Salam Satu Malaysia" in their speech that actually show how the nation takes 1Malaysia concept as a serious matter instead of just another catchy slogan.

The concept was never to abolish the special privileges to the bumis which most of us thought. However, it will be conduct in a better way which benefits were also given to the non-malays. This was stated on Dr. Hasnul's report saying that "The key principle of 1Malaysia is not abrogate affirmative action and Bumiputera privileges as stipulated in the Federal Constituition of 1957, rather to improve on its implementation in a just and fair manner". In other words, the non-malays will not be treated equally as the bumis but only better than before.

One of the values that was stated on the One Malaysia Concept is Unity and Integrity. Unity simply means that all races live hand-in-hand to create a harmonize environment among the Malaysian. The diversity of cultures between races should be respected between one another. This should include our style, fashion, arts and performance arts. It was stated in the same report by Dr. Hasnul stated that "Fashion, performance arts, music and etc:, must be able to portray the essence of unity 1malaysia tries to achieve".

With this knowledge that you have just learnt about the One Malaysia concept, let us watch a video from youtube by a controversial singer in Malaysia, namewee.





After watching the video, do you find a new definition to the so called "1Malaysia concept"?
My questions are pretty simple....

Is he treated in a just and fair manner?

Why language is still a main concern since diversity of all arts and cultures from other races should be respected?

Why is he still rejected from the creative fund since there is no restriction in any languages?



Well, i will just leave them to you guys. At least, we know why there are so few non-malays movie production in our country. Plus, this is not the only issue that can be seen.

So guys, tell me when 1Malaysia is really happening...


p/s: I am neither being racist nor trying to pull up the non-malays. I am just stating my point of view based on facts and evidence. Please do correct me if i interpret them wrongly.
