IMalaysia? Boleh?

The concept of 1Malaysia where we see each other as Malaysian first before race is a really good concept to bring forward in such times but of course this is not an easy even for a Prime Minister to implement and to see it bear fruits of success instead of lying in the dark, rotting and can never see the sunlight. I am sure Najib knows of the difficulties that he must face to make this vision into reality instead of just a motto.

In my opinion, Najib must first know what is the things that makes Malaysians not as united as years ago. He should first form an independent body to conduct a study on the feelings, troubles and problems faced by the everyday Joes of Malaysia. With that knowledge the planning for this vision can proceed on to the next phase.

The problem with this step is that with those questions of the public answered, will the Government be willing to make those changes that the people want? Will the requests and demands of the people be answered? The fact remains that we can never please everyone in the world so how should Najib proceed when whatever steps he made will be taken positively by some and negatively by others? Should he only care about the problems faced by one group of people only?

To actually be able to make this IMalaysia plan succeed we all must play our part in help molding a society where this concept is not foreign and instead will be just like second nature of the people. Now the most obvious problem that this concept face is the feeling of unfairness. It is not needed for me to give examples but if you open your eyes and see and take some time to read blogs, you can feel the uneasy peace between the people here.

Najib must make a choice, either he choose to be a popular Prime Minister and do what the public wants or he can go ahead and implement the 1Malaysia plan. This is because the 1Malaysia plan is 100% a long term plan and will not bear fruits after a few years. It will take many years for it to be a part of our lives and because of that, Najib must know that it will be his Legacy if he hold on to this concept.

In conclusion I truly believe that this 1Malaysia plan is a good one but for now it seems to only be a tool for politics and not a true vision. I pray that one day we the citizens of Malaysia can actually call ourselves Malaysians instead of the race of that we were born from.
