The 1Malaysia Concept Part 1

Since assuming the country’s leadership on 3rd April, I had introduced the 1Malaysia concept as the key thrust of my administration.
From the time this concept was made public, it has sparked numerous discussions and debates amongst all levels of our society.
As I stated in my speech in conjunction with the birthday of Seri Paduka Baginda Yang Di-Pertuan Agong on June 6,
1Malaysia is not a new concept or formula. Rather, the ultimate goal of 1Malaysia, which is national unity, has been the main vision of
our country’s leaders before me, and has been interpreted in various shapes and forms over the span of five decades of Independence. If
we truly study it, what has changed is the approach and implementation according to the ever-changing times and generations.
In other words, 1Malaysia is a concept to foster unity amongst the multi-ethnic rakyat of Malaysia, substantiated by key values
that every Malaysian should observe. The approach is not independent of the Government’s policies thus far, instead it complements
them to further reinforce our solidarity in order to guarantee stability towards achieving higher growth and development for Malaysia
and her people. This means that 1Malaysia is a formula conceptualised as a precondition in ensuring the aspirations of the country to
secure a developed status by 2020 are met, if it is inculcated in the minds of the Rakyat and practiced by the entire community. If the
idea of "Bangsa Malaysia" which was engendered through Vision 2020 becomes the final destination, then 1Malaysia is the roadmap
that guides us towards that destination. This definition is built upon the argument that in order to achieve the status of a developed nation
in the predetermined time frame, the key requisite is a strong and stable country, which can only be achieved when its people stand
united.
Unity as envisioned through the 1Malaysia concept varies greatly from the assimilation concept practiced in other countries
where the ethnic identities are wiped out and replaced with one homogeneous national identity. It is also clearly distinct from the
opposition’s concept of Malaysian Malaysia. 1Malaysia does not deviate from the spirit of our Federal Constitution as the law of the
state, written or implied. In fact, the 1Malaysia concept remains faithful to the core provisions within the Federal Constitution, such as
Articles 3, 4, 152, and 153, as well as Parts 2 and 3. Therefore, no one should fear or cast aspersions that the concept will deviate from
what has been agreed upon by our founding fathers.
On the other hand 1Malaysia values and respects the ethnic identities of each community in Malaysia, and proudly regards
them as an asset or advantage. 1Malaysia underlines the value of "Acceptance" amongst its multi-racial people, where one race
embraces the uniqueness of other races so that we may live with mutual respect for each other as a nation. It is a distinct step above that
of mere tolerance.
The foundation for all this is the principle of justice for all, which means that the welfare of all Malaysians will be looked after,
leaving no one behind. Such justice must be taken into account the varying levels of development of each ethnic community. Hence,
government policies and provisions in the Constitution that protect the interests of disadvantaged groups will continue to be
implemented.
1Malaysia will continue the agenda of nation-building. To achieve growth for the nation, the Rakyat must be the first to be developed,
which must begin by instilling a sense of acceptance amongst races, and therefore undivided solidarity. When solidarity is achieved, the
task of nation-building can truly and smoothly be carried out.
The 1Malaysia formula is conceptualised for implementation in two main aspects. The first is through the assimilation of the
Principles of Unity, while the second aspect is the assimilation of Aspirational Values.
The Principles of Unity are the three items I had earlier detailed; the first, "acceptance" amongst all races and peoples of
Malaysia; the second, nationalistic principles built upon the Federal Constitution and the Rukun Negara; and thirdly, social justice.
These Principles are supported by wholesome values that must be inculcated as part of Malaysian culture, including values such as
mutual respect, Tawaddhu', humility and astuteness in forming decisions and actions.
The second aspect of the 1Malaysia formula highlights elements that must be practiced by any society seeking to achieve
greater competitiveness and success. These elements comprise A Culture of Excellence in performing all duties and responsibilities; A
Culture of Precision in terms of time management and improving efficiency; Courage to innovate and explore new opportunities;
Meritocracy in assigning tasks to those best fit to execute them in accordance with the Federal Constitution and national policy;
unwavering Loyalty to our country; Perseverence in the face of adversity of any kind and Integrity in all matters and transactions. The
inculcation of these Aspirational Values will distinguish us as a powerful, respected and admired Malaysian Community, befitting the
identity of a thriving and developed nation.
In delivering its commitment to the Rakyat, the government presented the theme "People First, Performance Now" as part of
the 1Malaysia concept. This theme signifies that while reinforcing the call for unity amongst Malaysians, the government will also
prioritise issues that the Rakyat feel strongly about. The government also places great weight upon the performance and results of all
public servants when engaging with the Rakyat. In other words, the government recognises the importance of the efficiency and quality
of public service in enhancing the quality of life for the Rakyat, hence the adoption of a people-friendly approach in all government
agencies is critical.
In view of this, a Key Performance Index (KPI) will be implemented in all government matters, beginning with the KPI
monitoring exercise for all Ministers. A Minister in the Prime Minister's Department is already assigned specifically to ensure the
smooth implementation of the KPI. The Minister responsible will provide further details on the KPI and a detailed system of
implementation to fulfil this government objective.
Such initiatives are expected to produce significant changes not only in government administration, but more importantly to
lead to the betterment of the Malaysian people's standard of living. Above all, 1Malaysia "People First, Performance Now" is expected
to generate a definitive transformation, towards an advanced Malaysian nation, underpinned by a firmly united people, and esteemed by
the world.

Current Issues
ONE MALAYSIA
Thesis statement:
As Malaysia is slowly growing to be a worldwide well known country, there many ways that the concept of `One Malaysia` can be
introduced to the world.

Topic Sentence 1:
The first way we can do is in terms politics and leadership.
• Responsibility of our Prime Minister to make a diplomatic relation with other countries.
• Government has a right to do organization to promote One Malaysia.
• Worldwide conference; so that Malaysia would be known as a successful and independent country which can be an example to other
countries which unites many religion, races, and community.
• Ex: The Ambassador of Malaysia can be sent to other countries to promote the concept of One Malaysia from the activities from the
organization done by the government. Exchange student from Malaysia can apply this concept.

Topic Sentence 2:
Besides that, Malaysians can also promote the concept of’ One Malaysia’ through their culture.
• The community of Malaysia comes from urbanize races, religion and culture.
• Organize festival which comes from all culture of Malaysia.
• Ex: Warna –Warna Malaysia has been done in Malaysia which involves different races to show their traditional dance, from here we
know that different races of Malaysia which include Indian, Chinese, Malay and Bumiputra show their tolerance and cooperation by
taking part in this activity and make it a success. (Attract tourism and their can promote it to their friends)

Topic Sentence 3:
The media also plays a big role to make ‘One Malaysia’ known to the world, as this would make Malaysia a worldwide well-known
country.
• The song One Malaysia English version.
• Create a blog so other people would recognize the concept of One Malaysia.
• Organizing a worldwide activity for example visit Malaysia through advertisement in television and other forms of media.

The National Key Result Areas

The six National Key Result Areas (NKRAs) are:

 Reducing crime
 Fighting corruption
 Improving student outcomes
 Raising living standards of low-income households
 Improving rural basic infrastructure
 Improving urban public transport

Enhancing accountability with Ministerial KPIs

Areas not covered by the NKRAs are still important and will continue to receive attention from the Government at the ministerial
level. These areas – MKRAs – include targeted outcomes that the rakyat can see and feel (e.g., responding faster to public complaints
and reducing the number of road traffic accidents). Similar to the NKRAs, these MKRAs and Ministerial KPIs (MKPIs) are a
beginning and will continue to be refined and improved over time Accountability for delivery rests on each respective minister. The
Prime Minister has also committed to reviewing the progress of all ministers every six months to ensure their performance is on track.
The first reviews took place between November 2009 and January 2010.

Ensuring performance now

In order to achieve this level of performance, we acknowledge that the Government needs a new way of working – from the top
leadership down through the entire civil service. The Prime Minister has led the way by requiring all ministers to set clear KPIs,
which they must then report results against regularly. This practice is in the process of being cascaded throughout the Government.
We are also enhancing the transparency of our objectives, targets and plans – beginning with the GTP Roadmap. We expect to be held
accountable for delivering targets we announce, and we will publish a progress report on an annual basis, starting in the first quarter of
2011, so that our achievements can be evaluated over time.In addition, we have embarked on a series of reforms to enhance our
capacity to deliver.
Transforming Malaysia

In our history, we have often taken the road less travelled and pragmatically charted our own course. We are doing it again. No other
government in the world has undertaken such a bold transformation programme. However we understand that delivering these
outcomes will not be easy. There will be setbacks along the way, including missed targets, initiatives that may not work, stakeholders
who push back, resistance to change and new challenges we could not have foreseen. In transformation programmes of this scale it is
also quite common for things to get worse – or feel like they are getting worse – before they get better. Despite these inevitable
challenges, we must deliver.When the Government Transformation Programme hits inevitable challenges and setbacks, we the
Government and all Malaysians must remind ourselves of what is really at stake here and continue to stay the course. What is at stake
is the achievement of Vision 2020, making a difference to the lives of all current and our future generations of Malaysians and further
enhancing our nation’s reputation and position in the world.The Government’s promise of an improved delivery system takes flesh
with the Prime Minister’s unveiling of the short-term targets for the six National Key Result Areas.

Government Transformation Programme (GTP)

THE following are highlights of the Government Transformation Programme (GTP) Roadmap unveiled by Prime Minister Datuk Seri
Najib Tun Razak today:

* The GTP Roadmap will be used to describe targets and outline plans in helping to realise the step change necessary to achieve Vision
2020;

* It will focus on actions and outcomes the people can immediately see and feel in areas identified as National Key Results Areas
(NKRAs) and Ministerial Key Results Areas (MKRAs);

* A transformation engine, in the form of quick call for the best ideas and rapid move to action, will be used to deliver big results fast as
the GTP has set firm targets for 2010 and in some cases for 2011 and 2012;

* Performance management of both ministers and civil servants are an important aspect of the GTP;

* This programme is not definitive or static, but will evolve and be improved over time as it is transparent, action oriented and dynamic;

* The GTP incorporates both the outputs from the eight labs or dedicated teams, each one for the six NKRAs, one for 1Malaysia and
another one to look at data management, as well as inputs from the people;

* This programme will not sacrifice moral character for economic growth and has ambitious economic and social goals for 2020,
although it will be challenging to achieve it in the next 10 years;

* As Malaysia is in danger of being stuck as a middle income nation, it needs to achieve roughly eight per cent of real annual growth in
the next 10 years to cross the high income threshold;

* To be a moral and ethical society, the GTP seeks to improve performance on social measures such as crime, corruption, education and
distribution of income;

* Although Malaysia is still in a challenging fiscal position with the need to reduce government spending, the programme is also looking
at improving outcomes;

* The MKRAs and Ministerial Key Performance Indicators (MKPIs), alligned to the NKRAs, will over time be cascaded throughout the
broader civil service to ensure delivery of outcomes;

* Targets of MKRAs and MKPIs that are not met will be removed, replaced or enhanced;

* The 'Performance Now' part of the government's transformation will be implemented in three phases;

* In Horizon 1 (2010-2012), among others, government officials will make decisions or take actions that are consistent with the 16
Delivery Principles in order to instill a new way of doing things and ultimately deliver big results faster;

* The government will also manage delivery of NKPIs and MKPIs intensely and ensure that ministries meet their targets, via Flash
Reports to Cabinet and on-demand status reports, PM-led cross-ministerial Delivery Task Force, PM-Minister Reviews, Performance
Assessment and Annual Report;

* The government has also set up PEMANDU to assist the Prime Minister in managing the delivery of the NKRA and MKRA
outcomes;

* Existing government transformation initiatives would be intensified under various agencies;

* In Horizon 2 (2012-2015), the government has committed to broad and deep transformation to strengthen the professional
development of the civil service;

* In Horizon 3 (2015-2020), the government will move towards a new model of smaller government while simultaneously enhancing the
quality of public services.

* It also endeavours to develop a people-centric mindset and culture by creating an environment of competition and choice for public
services;

* It also aspires to establish wide-ranging roles for the private sector in public service delivery, and reallocate its resources to areas
where the government is truly the best provider;

* The government knows that delivering these outcomes will not be easy and cannot transform the nation on its own;

* Therefore, it has pledged to work hand-in-hand with the people, the private sector, the social sector and other key stakeholders, getting
inputs from them and seeking regular feedback to measure its outcomes delivery; and

* Although challenges and setbacks for the GTP are inevitable, the government and all Malaysians must remind themselves of what is
really at stake and continue to stay on the course and fulfil the most important obligation of transforming Malaysia for future
generations.

Performance Management & Delivery Unit (PEMANDU) was formally established on September 16, 2009 and is a unit under the
Prime Minister’s Department. PEMANDU’s main role and objective is to oversee implementation and assess progress of the
government transformation programme, facilitate as well as support delivery of both the NKRAs and MKRAs. Chairman of the
PEMANDU board is YB Senator Tan Sri Dr. Koh Tsu Koon, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, in charge of National
Unity and Performance Management. The post of Deputy Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PEMANDU is held by Minister in
the Prime Minister’s Department, YB Senator Dato’ Sri Idris Jala.

While the responsibility for end-to-end delivery of NKRA and MKRA outcomes ultimately rests with the respective ministries,
PEMANDU has been mandated to catalyse bold changes in public sector delivery, support the ministries in the delivery planning
process and provide an independent view of performance and progress to the PM and ministers. To allow PEMANDU to carry out its
responsibilities effectively, it combines the best talent from both the civil service and private sector.
Big Results Fast

Introducing the transformation

Malaysia is at a crossroads. In 1991, we committed to Vision 2020, to become a fully developed nation by 2020. While we have made
progress, at our current rate of growth, our nation is in danger of losing our competitiveness and falling short of our economic and
social ambitions. A fundamental change is required, not just in economic and social performance, but also in the delivery of public
goods and services that underpin our ability to develop the country. To meet the challenges standing in our way of achieving Vision
2020, we have committed ourselves to a Government Transformation Programme (GTP), in accordance with the principles of
1Malaysia, People First, Performance Now.

Challenges to realizing Vision 2020

With Vision 2020, we committed ourselves to nine goals, encompassing economic, political, social, spiritual, psychological and
cultural dimensions of our growth. Collectively, they made for a set of challenging targets for Malaysia. Under the guidance of past
and present leaders, and through the hard work of the rakyat, we have made considerable progress on our journey towards 2020.

Despite our achievements, it will still be challenging to fulfil our 2020 aspirations. Economically and socially, Malaysia’s
performance has fallen behind and needs to be improved.

Catalysing Vision 2020 through 1Malaysia, People First, Performance Now

To accelerate our performance in order to achieve Vision 2020, we have formulated the GTP based on the principles of 1Malaysia,
People First, Performance Now. The GTP and delivery in the NKRAs will improve the lives of all Malaysians irrespective of race,
religion and region. The initiatives implemented will reduce the disparities between the rich and poor, between urban and rural,
between the powerful and the powerless etc. thus helping us achieve the ideals of 1Malaysia. In developing the GTP and selecting the
NKRAs, we had put the people’s priorities first and will continuously seek feedback to improve this programme from the rakyat –
People First. To ensure Performance Now, we have put in place mechanisms to give us higher confidence of delivery.

Building 1Malaysia

Creating oneness or unity within a multi-religious and multi-cultural nation is challenging. Malaysia has chosen a unique route – that
of unity in diversity and inclusiveness, while ensuring fairness to all. Anchored in our Constitution, this concept means that we
embrace a diversity of ethnicity, religions and beliefs and, by being inclusive, build mutual respect and acceptance into a solid
foundation of trust and cohesiveness. This has historically been the path that we have taken as a nation and is now encapsulated by the
principle of 1Malaysia.

The goal of 1Malaysia is to make Malaysia more vibrant, more productive and more competitive – and ultimately a greater nation: a
nation where, it is hoped, every Malaysian perceives himself or herself as Malaysian first, and by race, religion, geographical region
or socio-economic background second and where the principles of 1Malaysia are embedded into the economic, political and social
fabric of society.

Putting people first

NKRAs have been deemed the priority areas for the nation. They represent a combination of short-term priorities to address urgent
rakyat demands and equally important long-term issues affecting the rakyat that require our attention now. To reflect the importance
of the NKRAs, they are collectively owned by the Cabinet, with accountability for delivery resting on a lead minister, who is
appointed and formally monitored by the PM.

The NKRAs are reducing crime (led by the Minister of Home Affairs), fighting corruption (led by the Minister in the PM’s
Department, in charge of Law), improving educational outcomes (led by the Minister of Education), raising living standards of low-
income households (led by the Minister of Women, Family and Community Development), improving rural basic infrastructure (led
by Minister of Rural and Regional Development), and improving urban public transport (led by the Minister of Transport).

The days of ”government knows best” are behind us. To ensure that we had an accurate gauge and sense of what the priority areas are
for the rakyat, multiple input sources, including rakyat opinion polls, perception surveys, (alternative and mainstream) media analysis,
dialogues with select academics, private and public sector leaders, were considered.

Earth Hour -Leo Burnett

Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million homes and businesses turned their lights off for one hour to make their
stand against climate change. Only a year later and Earth Hour had become a global sustainability movement with more than 50 million
people across 35 countries participating. Global landmarks such as the, Sydney Harbour Bridge, The CN Tower in Toronto, The Golden
Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and Rome’s Colosseum, all stood in darkness, as symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by
the hour.

In March 2009, hundreds of millions of people took part in the third Earth Hour. Over 4000 cities in 88 countries officially switched off to
pledge their support for the planet, making Earth Hour 2009 the world’s largest global climate change initiative.
Earth Hour 2010 takes place on Saturday 27 March at 8.30pm (local time) and is a global call to action to every individual, every business
and every community throughout the world. It is a call to stand up, to take responsibility, to get involved and lead the way towards a
sustainable future. Iconic buildings and landmarks from Europe to Asia to the Americas will stand in darkness. People across the world
from all walks of life will turn off their lights and join together in celebration and contemplation of the one thing we all have in common –
our planet.
