Najib's 1Malaysia dream ?

Somebody from within is under-mining Najib's 1Malaysia ! Why ?

Yesterday it was reported here, that Najib's 1Malaysia caters for all, regardless of race or religion and here we have Muhyiddin's battle cry, declaring UMNO will defend the Malay race till the last drop of blood !

Why this drama all of a sudden ? Should he have instead proclaimed that UMNO will defend the rights of all Malaysians, regardless of race or religion to the last drop of blood from any threats out-side of Malaysia ? Now that would be the right thing for a DPM to say, yes ?

And on another note, why should the PM wait for next year to implement the merit system ? Why not NOW ? If he was serious and not mere "feel good" lip-syncing, why wait till next year ? Issues like this, should take immediately effect, to forever silence the critics and re-affirm his seriousness of the 1Malaysia dream ( which is by the way actually a carbon-copy of the "People's Declaration", yes ! )

Going on road shows to promote 1Malaysia costs millions or as we are accustomed to these days- to billions even ! Money that can be saved from the tax-payers coffers and be distributed immediately to the many hard-core poor who are deprived of an education and other basic necessities, no ? Does anyone now how much of the tax-payers money is spent on making all these 1Malaysia contracts of logos that add to the organising expenditure costs ? I am sure many a crony will benefit from such grand scale events, which I say is a total waste of good money that can be utilised for a more noble cause.....like feeding, clothing and educating hard-core poor Malaysian of all races all over the country both here and in the East !

On another topic of 1Malaysia and one language, Bahasa Malaysia, much has been demanded of all of us to be fluent in the language. I know not everyone speaks the Bahasa fluently, agreed. But have you noticed Bahasa Malaysia other then what is taught in schools, is never spoken uniformly in our daily conversations ?

Can the chap from Kelantan hold a decent conversation with say a Johorian and comprehend and fully understand the same things spoken ? Of course not ! Or even the "Nogeri" guy can comprehend the Perakian's "2 kupang" as opposed to the native Sabahan's "duvo ngopod sen" ?

Each of us have a unique native or tribal mother-tongue as an added advantage over those who only speak one fuent language and a sputtering of the English language to face and survive in this competitive world, yes ? Who do you think has a better chance of survival, huh ?

Can we then all abandon every other language for Bahasa Malaysia ? As we are after-all, save for the original indigenous peoples, ALL immigrants here, don't forget that. 1Malaysia should be an exciting and diverse fussion of us.....yes,.... you, you you and I..... the way we have lived life differently as per our varied cultural, ethnic and social back-grounds but granted the same equality, honor and respect on a level playing field ! Agreed ?

So Mr. PM.....lets see some real "walk the talk" instances NOW before someone in your very own cabinet screws-up and robs you of your dream project !
