My view on 1Malaysia

The 1Malaysia concept brought about by Dato' Seri Najib, our sixth prime minister is something very noble indeed. The objective is to get all of Malaysian's to act as one, to think as one and also most importantly to unite as one. The only problem that I have with this concept is that, it is just a rebranding of another term that was previouly called 'muhibbah'. The spirit of 'muhibbah' has been propagated by our previous leaders many-many times. To accept and understand other cultures in Malaysia and be emphatic to different races is called 'semangat muhibbah'. So, what is so different about 1Malaysia? It is just a rebranding exercise done by Najib.
