Have you checked out Najib’s 1Malaysia website here?

It’s in four languages: Malay, English, Chinese and Tamil. (The Tamil version’s content is largely in Malay and English.)

For it to be really “1Malaysia”, however, the website should have included Iban and Kadazan-Dusun.

Something for Najib’s public relations folks to chew on.

This might seem like a small issue but it’s just another manifestation of how peninsula-centric political leaders can be – even when they are promoting national unity and integration.

    • For one I am not from gerakan and have never been a member of any political party and am not interested in becoming a politician. I may help out with causes that political parties are involved in and this also meant umno if they have a cause I felt worthwhile taking up.

      You heard of the phenomenon called “emperor’s new cloths” ? I can’t speak for anil or K or gerakan K or anyone else or any of their motives but I believe that if we do not point out what we felt was a wrong or an injustice then it would be a greater disservice to LGE and those who were had no voice. If what we had said was wrong LGE could easily point out where we had erred. If on the other hand he had erred than do the right thing and do it in the right way.

      • We can only know after years later if LGE had benefited anything out of Kg Buah Pala demolition. It is too early to judge LGE. Why? Because selective transparency of LGE in handling that issue.

        • Gerakan K

          You are such a hardcore that your brain does not seem to be able to think at all.

          KTK and Gerakan together with their UMNO goons approved the sales of Kg Buah Pala to Koperasi ……… during their EXCO meetings before the GE08. The sales was effected and 2 deposits were made also before the GE 08 election. Koperasi …… then turn to Numestero for joint development.

          After GE08, LGE has to finalise the sales agreement and the final deposit was made. As the the court order was not in favour of the Kg Buah Pala Resident, LGE could not do much other than negotiate a better offer for them.

          Whoever benefits are Koperasi, Nusmetro or KTK, Gerakan and the UMNO goons as they robbed off the land at a low premium.

          The finalsing of the deal by LGE was approved at the EXCO meeting and MINUTED. If you feel that LGE and his group has benefited then you are implying there is a level of corruption. I suggest you report to MACC and the minutes could then be opened for inspection. Fair and square isn`t it.

          Otherwise you should keep your big mouth shut up instead of instigating and creating trouble for your political masters…

  9. 1Malaysia is an empty-shell slogan with no real substance and intentions. It is just to lie and cheat, hoping rakyat could be blinded with the sugar-coated slogan. 1Malaysia can only be achieved with UMNO totally revamped and changed, to be sincerely rid of corruption, injustice, discrimination, inequality and particularly the “Ketuanan Melayu”. Can UMNO do it? I can bet my life that the answer is a big NO! How can the spineless and inferior-complexed Umnoputras live without … the hand-outs from their very own corrupted regime? If UMNO could reform into a thorough cleansed party as mentioned, I would eat cow-dung infront of UMNO HQ witnessed by all and apologise for misjudging UMNO. I believe this day will never come.

  10. Australia here I come. Am a coward on the contrary. I believe life is too short. Plus I am not interested in political fame either I’m just Joe Public. What is the point of struggling(and wasting my time) every step of the way when I can just as easily move to a more developed and forward thinking nation. This world is globalised and is open to all of those who are intelligent and hard working. If Malaysia(UMNO) insists in (going downhill) why should I be concerned, I’ll just pack and leave. This world and not any country is my home. Only those who have been living under the proverbial coconut shell will find this idea strange and unusual. G’day.

  13. For those who still keep on harping about LGE not declassifying all the minutes right now should think about what Zambry did in Perak. Remember how he shot off his big mouth about securing foreign investment into Perak when it should be kept a secret? Do you want this to repeat in Penang?

    Furthermore some of the actions decided by the Exco may be detrimental to the BN and should not be revealed prematurely.

    It might not have anything to do with KBP at all.

  14. This 1Toilet is turning this 1 thingy into a 1Malaise. Tackle the fundamental issue that formed Malaysia first i.e. equal treatment, development for Malaya, Sabah and Sarawak. Right now there are 3 Malaysia.

    1World? How to achieve that if there is already such big hoohaa over batik or bali-dance or even nasi-lemak?

  15. Hi Anil, have u really sunk so low? I am very concerned… A reader commented Anil= K= Gerakan K (I paraphrased it) ???

    O! Please Anil, I believe in you, a devout Christian. Please dont be another Wong Chun Wai, for God’s sake.

    I know u r a good person, you are very concerned with Buah Pala issue but from what i see you are off balance now… or as some readers suggested, u hv been bought over by Gerakan???

    You shd know, buah pala issue is not as simple as “by a stroke of a pen”, things can be resolved…

    From what i read from your blog, lots of Penang people disagree that the Penang Govt buy back the land from the developer. Penang state is already being punished by the Federal Govt, they didnt receive the funds as promised. Do you think Penang can afford to fork out that huge chunk of money … ???

    Why are you only concentrating on the 9 families who refuse the compensation, how about those 15 family who are happily accepting the offer and thank LGE for his interference in solving their case?

    Will you meet me for a cup of coffee in Coffee Bean (Belisa Row) when i go back to Penang?

  16. Some thoughts … if really 1Malaysia is really what 1Malaysia is all about, isn’t it time to do away with the inclusion of responses to questions such as “apakah kaum kamu”? If that is done all across the country, that is what I call 1Malaysia.

  17. Hey guys, it is interesting to know that we could discuss this openly now without knowing one another. I have been involved back in 1990 as the kembara muda – organized by Public Bank Berhad back then. 1 malay, 1 Indian and 1 Chinese guy was elected from all the states to travel in a group of three from check point to check point, ours was from KL to KB. Moral of the story, if you really want to unite have an open heart, no point questioning everything that is coming your way… it is not your job, leave it to the universe to unfold the answers. Our job is to live life to the fullest and be gratefull with what we already have. Back to the question? What do you want? To be in unity or NOT? either way just FOCUS ON IT…. the answer will come to you… as “WHAT A MIND COULD CONCEIVE AND BELIEVE IT WILL ACHIEVE” the power to the statement is what do we believe is more important that what we are thinking about. As the things you believe in with passion is what’s coming true in your life. What you think does not matter as it holds no power until you really believe in it…

  18. Be simple mate! as all the experts in the world are good in what they do is simply because they are good at basics. FOCUS on what you want as what ever name they call it 1Malaysia or something else…. be it, What do you want? you’ll find the answer to your own question as it holds priority to the believe system that you have in yourself as no one could take it away from you. That’s what people call faith. With faith people live their life without it they perish in despair. It always starts with faith in oneself. The world you create around it will follow suit the moment you understand the power you have within you to create and mould your world to what you think of and most importantly believe IN.

  19. Law of attraction! It has always been there and that’s why people who knows it gets what they want ALWAYS.

    A wise guy once said “When you do not know where you’re heading in life you’re actually heading the right way!”

    another guy said “The first step in faith is to take IT”

    then another guy said “You do not need to know all the hundred steps you shall take up the staircase if you have not even taken a single one till now. Failing is a discovery of finding another method to do or take in the future as each failure is a step nearer to the solution to the matter as long as you do not repeat the same mistake again in life”
