1Malaysia – Najib’s Personal Website
Whilst going through the 1Malaysia website, I asked myself what was the intention of the site? Lucky for me, there was an FAQ.
Q: What is 1Malaysia.com.my?
A: 1Malaysia.com.my is the personal website of Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib Tun Razak.
Wait. What?
I've seen more and more ads containing the 1Malaysia logo. I've seen 1Malaysia posters littering the highway. I've seen it all over the place.
But, in the end, it seems that they are all promoting Najib's personal website. Are they blindly supporting 1Malaysia without knowing what it means and stands for?
To be honest, I'm not even sure what 1Malaysia means and stands for, and the website doesn't help in educating me.
Q: Is this a government website?
A: Although the site discusses issues regarding government policies, it is a personal website and not run by any ministry or government agency.
So by promoting 1Malaysia, you aren't even promoting the Government. You are promoting Najib.
I've asked around about what people thought 1Malaysia was about. The common theme was unity. But in general, it seems people just aren't sure.
Via Merdeka Center (PDF) ( Local Mirror - PDF ):
76% of the public were aware of Najib‟s “1Malaysia” concept with 23% broadly saying
that “it promotes unity between the various races” and 18% saying it “is about fairness
and equality among the races”. 39% of respondents however did not understand about the
concept. The survey found that 46% of respondents were confident that1Malaysia would
be able to achieve its goals.
I'm confused. To me there is a disconnect. Is the idea of 1Malaysia, and the purpose of the website two different things?
By labeling the 1Malaysia website as a "personal website", I feel that all meaning that Najib is trying to push is lost, especially after seeing the logo everywhere. I feel that whenever I see the 1Malaysia logo, it is now only praise to him. Najib has to be greater than himself.
I fail to see the purpose of the site. Except to keep track of Najib's online presence, and to praise him.
Self praise is no praise.

Mengutamakan kesepaduan dalam kalangan masyarakat Melayu ( Islam)
Berdasarkan isu-isu agama yang semakin menjadi-jadi penularannya di Malaysia kini merupakan kesan daripada perpecahan masyarakat Melayu ( Islam) sejak akhir-akhir. Pada pendapat saya, Dato’ Seri sewajarnya menitikberatkaan perpaduan dalam kalangan masyarakat Melayu ( Islam) terlebih dahulu kerana kaum Melayu merupakan asas perpaduan dalam masyarakat Malaysia. Dato’ Seri juga seharusnya mengembalikan semula kepercayaan masyarakat Melayu ( Islam)terhadap keupayaan Kerajaan Malaysia bagi membantu dalam meningkatkan sistem ekonomi mereka berdasarkan hak-hak istimewa orang Melayu yang terkandung di dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan.Di samping itu, saya juga mencadangkan agar pihak kerajaan dapat menilai dan mengkaji semula isi kandungan yang terdapat di dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan supaya tidak berlaku sebarang kekeliruan dalam kalangan masyarakat Malaysia bagi mewujudkan konsep 1 Malaysia yang berjaya tanpa berlaku sebarang perpecahan kaum di Malaysia.
Saya memohon maaf sekiranya cadangan dan pendapat saya boleh menyebabkan terdapat segelintir pihak tidak berpuas hati.
Perpaduan Islam Menjana Perpaduan Kaum Malaysia.
Sekian Terima Kasih..Wallahu a’lam
