1 Malaysia concept all about unity - Prime Minister

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said that the 1Malaysia concept’s ultimate objective is to achieve national unity among its people. He said "In other words, 1Malaysia is a concept to foster unity in Malaysians of all races based on several important values which should become the practice of every Malaysian. 1Malaysia is a formula which serves as a prerequisite to ensure realisation of the country's aspiration to achieve developed nation status by 2020 if it is assimilated in the people and practised by society. If 'Bangsa Malaysia' (the Malaysian race) outlined in Vision 2020 is the ultimate objective of this journey, then 1Malaysia is the guide pointing the way towards that objective. As such, let not anyone feel apprehensive or suspicious and worried that the concept would deviate from what had been agreed to by our forefathers. In fact, 1Malaysia values and respects the ethnic identities of every community in Malaysia and regards them as assets to be proud of," 

He added that "This justice must take into account the different levels of progress of the races. As such, the government policies and constitutional provisions which safeguard the needy will continue to be implemented. The core elements of unity are, firstly, the attitude of acceptance among the races and the people, secondly, principles of nationhood based on the Federal Constitution and the Rukun Negara (National Ideology), and, thirdly, social justice,"
