The Malaysian Insider

Yeah, and I'm the president of the USA.

Malaysians please wake up and know the evil and vicious intentions of UMNO! It is time to take a stand and together make a concerted effort to weed out this federal govt. come GE13.

Just because one/two churches 1Malaysia is not under threat???

The entire BN government should bear the brunt with the PM at the helm, this is a "Black Friday" for the country and yet the PM is downplaying the matter!!!

The entire BN government has lost credibility/moral fibre to govern the country and we the Rakyat says "enough is enough"!!!

1Malaysia intact! U are sleeping! Or you think rakyat are stupid! People are more divided. Of course more are now leaning to PR! Anyway, apa itu 1Malaysia?

Najib, please stop giving us such meaningless nonsense. Except for your sycophants, very few believe in your 1Malaysia mantra. The events unfolded in the last two days have proven that it is nothing but empty slogans, money and time wasting PR craps.

Hey!
The day of reckoning is Near!
Your 1 Malaysia will be SHREDDED into Smithereens!!!

I believe in freedom of speech. Najib can say (and believe) what he likes. What's important is what we the rakyat see, feel and think. At a critical time, our leaders have failed us: they have chosen to divide us rather than unite us. I think we deserve better. At the right time, make your vote count.

1 Malaysia intact???

Since when was it 'People First, Performance Now'?

You are the PM and you can't stop people from protesting? This is a matter of national security and you had downplayed the severity of the situation and condoned such actions. Looks like you are not performing and doing your job then!!!

And then you wonder why people are linking you and UMNO to the atrocities directed at places of worship.

Najib, with you at the helm, there would be 0 (zero) Malaysia left for our children.

If you can't perform, then it's time to boot you and BN in GE13.

Najib is right!

It should not affect his "1Malaysia" ideas.

How can anything affect "1Malaysia" when the whole idea is not real and filled with insincerity and dishonesty!

Najib will invoke his "Strategic Ambiguity" Principle and start his BS all over again.

The majority of Malaysians do not condone the protests but Najib, his deputy and his Home Minister did!

Najib wake up please and be truth to your self. Your 1Malaysia is all bullshit. Cant you see that your racist party is taking the country to the gutter. The people have live happily before,but when a corrupt self interest party gets to its head, you destroy the fabric of unity we had. As a Malay i am ashamed that a Malay leader like you has turn the country this way.

do a survey first ...random one on what the rakyat thinks about 1malaysia? i think the entire BN will loose its credibility and we have been long practicing inter racial friendship and marriages even without that 1Malaysia of yours. The more we mix the more ur 1malaysia is going down the toilet bowl. Bye-bye BN. True ..u better start campaigning now as u pretty much knw the outcome of the next GE.

Najib said that 1 malaysia is still intact is not for him to say,its the Rakyat to evaluate or judge.I think he has failed not only in this case but in other cases too.Whats the point of going to visit the church when you are not honest and genuine in your heart.The gov. should take responsibilities and pay for the expenses to rebuilt the churches.

2 faces of 1 Malaysia lah. We can thank Utusan and UMNO for giving 1Malaysia an ugly face. If they really want to live up to 1Malaysia, then they must be prepared for a dialogue with different faiths. Otherwise, they are a bunch of hypocrites with 2 faces.

It is just plain simple.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Forget about the rhetorics that it is not UMNO... blah... blah .. blah

Mr. PM, kindly show us how much your so-called 1Malaysia has achieved to bring about better cohesive understanding amongst people of different faiths compared with your predecessors. ANY BETTER? WORSE?

Ask the useless and spineless KTK from Gerakan (Tak Boleh Gerak lagi) to use his KPI lah. What do you see?

If it wasn't your lackeys who are responsible for the current state of affairs, then please tell us your story .....

and it looks like ur going all out to 'steal' selangor !! not this time..u robbed perak unjustly...we would neva forget...signs of desperation..digging into a deeper grave

Najib, who are you trying to kid???

Mr Prime Minister,

Yes, your so-called 1 Malaysia still intact, and would not affect you to continue to use “Double-Edge Sword” strategies in your so-called 1 Malaysia.

What your ministers & administration have done?
In one hand, you say nice words and lip service to the Chinese, Indian and East Malaysian’s communities. But in other hand you allow your UMNO’s ministers, BTN & newspapers to continue champions the fascist ideology of Ketuanan Melayu and Islam ala UMNO, to the Malay readers and community.

In one hand, you come up with some impressive KPIs.. or whatever I.. to show that your administration is serious for transformation. But in another hand, you continue to allow the ministries and government agencies to set all kinds of bureaucratic red-taps.

In one hand, you said to be People first and champions for the people’s welfare (ala open some low-grade 1 Malaysia clinics). But other hand, you increase (add) taxes, reduce allowances to burden the poor just because UMNO-BN government has squander billions and billions of our public funds & national’s natural resources.

In one hand, you show favour to East Malaysia & call for equal development in all Malaysia’s States. But in other hand, you turn a blind eye to the suffering of Sarawak & Sabah’s interior tribes; take their land and jungle of their livelihood, and you denials the rights of oil royalty to the poor Kelantan state.

In the case of Allah name:
Your administration have use the authoritarian style to ban other religion’s publications, sieges their holy books and religious teaching materials (to-date, thousands copies of Bible in Indonesian/Malay language translation, and thousands of religious books still in siege by Malaysia’s custom). Without first have any consultations with the related parties on what the real issue at hand, but just listen to the bigotry and un-based reasons from the another parties. You call this 1 Malaysia?

Malay speaking Orang Asli, Sabahan & Sarawakian have use Allah for centuries, in the AlKitab translation, in their religious teaching books, in their worship and liturgy, in their prayers, in their sermons, in their hymns and songs, in their daily conversations, and utmost in their LIVES & LIFES!!! Are you thinking in their shoes before taking authoritarian actions against them, in view of your 1 Malaysia concepts?????

After the High Court has rightly rule that your authoritarian actions has err in lights of the Malaysia’s Constitution. What has you, your ministers, and those mainstream media reports on the case. Do the mainstream media explain clearly on why the Court has made such a judgment, to the Malay readers? Has your JAKIM and other governmental religious bodies make any effort to educate and explain clearly the case at hand in all the lights of AlQuran and the ways of the Prophets? NO! But you, your UMNO ministers & newspapers still fanning the issue, allowing protest with blatantly double standard, so in a way concur the misunderstanding and hatred in the minds and hearts of some misguided Malay Muslims.

After the attacks on the churches, what was your responds? Yes, you have said all the standard diplomatic words on this dark day of Malaysia history, but I do not see that you feel sincerely heart-rending and apologies to Malaysian and Malaysian Christians, on you & your government failure to protect the life, property and peace of all Malaysian. There are many Malaysians, and even many peace-loving Muslim who heart-breaking, cries and feel deeply ashamed on this darkest day on Malaysia harmony, after the May13 incident. But what was your feeling? You only get emotional and angry when there were reporters who questions on rather UMNO should be responsible on the developments to the incidents. Is this the type of leader we want for Malaysia??? Not yet to compare with the new Black American President, not even to the re-elected Indonesian President who led the most populous Muslim country in the world, where they also used the word Allah in their Christian community for centuries.

Mr. Prime Minister, you have erred in your actions, you have failed in your duties as our Prime Minister!!! Your speeches sound disgusting and your slogans of 1 Malaysia make me nausea...

Correction, Mr. PM. Its not 1 Malaysia. Its Dua Malaysia. Satu untuk kaum UMNO dan Kedua untuk kaum lain lain, sama ada orang Melayu yg bukan ahli-UMNO. Terima kasih!

If 2 or 3 mosques were torched, 1Malaysia still intact?
Malaysia would no longer be intact.

UMNO is delusional. 1Malaysia is merely a campaign which serves political parties, does not represent the rakyat's issues, needs and concerns. I do not believe 1Malaysia can be achieved when we have not even see any successes of the Wawasan 2020 campaign: Establishing a united Malaysian nation made up of one Bangsa Malaysia. How can we achieve that when basic religious sensitivities are not respected, accepted and advocated?

As far as I am concern, 1Malaysia is dead and buried. Amen.

Dear PM, do you even know the product you are selling? Was there ever a product to begin with ...it sounds like a painted utopia to sell the political party, the satay feast to sell the house, the free umbrella to sell the policy. In this case, to sell UMNO/BN..except no umbrellas and satays in your cupboard.

The fox has promised to watch over the hens....."I know we lost a few birds today but I can still guard them for you..."

If 1Malaysia were a car it never moved from day one, except for the Hoohah slogans, advertisements, competitions, colouring contests, news releases... the only sure movement were the ringgits notes into the Media Consultant's bank accounts.

We have seen and heard more divisive incidents and racist remarks in these 9 months than Pak Lah's entire term. More colourful and spiteful (Cowshead) and certainly more dangerous (Church arson).

When Malaysians born into and accustomed to this plural and mixed society start thinking of voting with their luggage and passports, and can no longer put up with blatant discrimination and intolerance from people who wear badges of the administration (whatever the tune they play in the background), forget about FDI's (Foreign Direct Investments) bro.

FDI is hard enough to come by as it is in the current global downturn. What did you think their embassies and consulates told them after the 3rd church got scorched....? YUP, state sponsored Racial and Religious Intolerance (BTN)....a powder-keg...NOT A SAFE BET!!! Better look elsewhere, EVEN Malaysians are getting out..

NO YOU CANNOT extend the NEP to the name of Allah subhanna wataallah, NO ONE owns the name of the Almighty but the Almighty Himself. And he takes note of what you do...dear PM and HM.

What if someone were to force you to address your god by another name...because they had the power of the state and political muscle to do so...think on that please!!

Najib is definitely entitled to his opinion that his "1Malaysia" concept is intact.

The next General Election will prove is his opinion is right.

But the signs seem to be pointing to voters who cannot wait to give the very first chance for an alternative government, and see if the alternative government can perform better than the one which has considerable opportunities for the past 52 years. Voters may just give the Pakatan government five years to try to govern, and if they can get their act together, they might "just do it"!

The time is now for the rakyat to make up their mind and dump BN/UMNO into obscurity.

Any party who encouraged and condone the playing up religious and racial sensitivities to further their own selfish ends does not deserve our support.

The home Minister has all the resources at his disposal and yet go on making excuses after excuses.

Why is that this blatant acts are not contained before it gets out of hand. Where was the police setting up roadblocks the night before and checking cars, motorcyles and subsersive elements ? Where are the FRU and the chemical laced water cannons and the huge police presence like the one when the opposition plan to organise a peaceful protest ?

We do not see any traffic jams often seen when opposition led protests are held .

Where is the police intelligence ? Are they sleeping or are they are acting in cahoot with their political masters as part of a grand design to destabilise the state ?

The US President Obama recently commented about the security breach when his men foiled a bombing attempt of a civilian aircraft - he spoke about security responsibilities: "The buck stop with me."

Hello, PM. You boleh kah? Never mind. Forget I ever ask.

What else do we expect you to say? Sack all those who fanned the flame?

1Malaysia is mere hype and rhetorics without substance. Malaysians are generally tired of all that had happened recently, No matter what is said by the BN leaders now, it is taken with a pinch of salt!

Pain is the feeling of most Malaysians after being treated to the kind of racist politics recently. Whatever UMNO or BN preaches, their intentions are suspect and highly questionable. It had reached a stage whereby they have to do a lot more than mere rhetorics. Action speaks louder than words, and the sad fact is there had been more words than action from the BN side, led by UMNO of course!

Najib, you really ARE living in a well-cushioned, well-blinkered, deluded world of denial, aren't you?

1Malaysia is really an attempt to turn Malaysia into a monoculture society.

1 culture, 1 race, "Ignorant-UMNO-buffoon-Malay"-sia. That's why 1Malaysia is still intact!

Hidden truth of 1 Malaysia
1. Use BTN to scare and brain wash Muslims
2. It's a strategic management for spending more tax payers $$$, that benefits ONLY UMNO
3. It's a popularity ploy by UMNO
4. Its simply another way of divide and rule
5. 1 Malaysia = 2 systems/2 laws (1 for UMNO & balance for rest of the rakyat)
6. Last but not the least, BN = Buang Najib !!!!!!

A syok sendiri session by the sickest of the sick. Period.

Only those with high mentality will know 1 Malaysia as professed by Najib is just a show only! 1 Rakyat will be smarter in the next GE!

When credibility and image hit rock bottom (just look at the No.1 golfer) it takes a lot lot more to repair the damage. Words alone not enough, especially when it comes from the incumbent's own mouth.

"The government has also dispatched Christian members of the administration to calm the Christian community"

Najib, no need for that. We Christians are always calm.cool and not babarians. We are not easily confused and we don't go around setting things on fire. On things we cannot agree, we debate with our brains and mouth with logic and facts.
Instead, you (Najib) should not waste time apprehending those responsible for this acts of cowardice and terroism. Do it now.

I have to share this just finished my 18 holes golf . While on the 13 holes my friends from Indonesia called on my hand phone and asked how is the situation here and where are you now. I told them all is ok, right now and I am now having trouble in the bunker. They told me if it is that bad take my family to Jakarta and stay until the situation gets better. I told them the trouble I am now in is that my ball is stucked deep in the sand bunker not the war bunker . They had a good laugh .

When I try to search the deep meaning of 1Malaysia, I tremble!

How can 1Malaysia die, it was never born.

i never believe umno's 1Malaysia, not before, not now, not in future. anything by umno is racist, and we rakyat no longer believe in umno. it is time to reject umno for dividing malaysia.

he can say whatever he think fit, but most important is what the peoples' view towards them.

it is "sendiri syok-syok" just like the Toyol declared that Selangor is already an advance state, but i don't think so because i stay in Selangor and doesn't feel it.

Pardon me. I have to suspend my disbelief to read this statement.

Yes when the current government being replaced by PR goverment, then we have a truly 1Malaysia.

talking a lot of crap. herald use Allah for East Malaysian christians but all is quiet in Sarawak and Sabah while the stupid West Malaysian created a lot of huha there. That is why the one malaysia is meant for orang malaya, not East Malaysia. We know how to live together in harmony, not you guys and you tend to look down on us. Bah

syok sendiri sajalah PM Malaysia1 Datuk Najib.....menyampah aku dengar kau membebel

someone misheard the instruction: should have been, "I want Malaysia" which somehow became "1Malaysia". One big mistake :-(

As Obama said " The buck stops with me !"

Maybe not UMNO but you, the Prime Minister, take responsibility. Any average person would have seen this coming with you and the Home Ministry indirectly condoning any form of protest.

"Calm the Christian community"???

Who's the one protesting? Who's the one stirring up trouble? Who's the one needing to be calmed? Will Najib dispatch Cabinet members to them?

Najib is a double-headed snake - he gave the greenlight for protest, saying the government is helpless if Muslims want to protest and they can protest after Fri's prayers.

Now that the churches are affected, he then, came out to ask citizens to remain calm and deny that UMNO is behind the attack.

He plays the devil as well as the soothe-sayer.

He should be wiped out from the face of the earth after Paul Augustine. Biar perut dia meletup..dah begitu besar!

Najib tried to redeem himself with a RM500K grant to the church.

Please do not use money to win the heart.
You should clamp down racist writings by Utusan's Awang and Ridhuan!

This 'UMNO Juara Rakyat' program is true to its rotten core.. they come in singing, selling, visiting and handing out ringgits and promises. What next... Poco-Poco!!

Churches were being targeted and burnt down by cocktails of Molotov and they kept on singing, selling, visiting and handing out ringgits and promises. What next...

I'm a muslim - and I hate them munafikeens.

1 Malaysia is as dead as your late father. Bet your life (you wouldn't want to be dead with all the demons waiting for you) your father is twisting and turning in agony in his grave right now. You are nothing but a very poor excuse for the position you hold.

i am fervent BN supporter and i was never ashamed to declare it openly.
today as you spoke, my children are scared to even see you in tv!!
i have lost faith in dacing and its leaders, the last straw has been drawn, the border has been crossed.
its obvious who i will not vote come next GE.

Talk is cheap. Real cheap. What's 1 Malaysia but a waste of taxpayers hard earned money? Anyone can come up with a slogan and all that jazz. Yes, Talk is cheap. Real cheap. Although slogans aren't.

Oh you poor, poor poor, delusional balding old man- I hate to tell you this but there is no such thing as your ahem...1 Malaysia. It's just a slogan dear. Grow up.

1 malaysia is ntg but a pure political agenda to attract voters for d elections.If a surau was burnt, what will be d outcome?Things look bleak for non malays in future..perhaps after 2012, it will be just non malays gone.

We all have lost faith in BN and UMNO. We shall never vote for BN and UMNO. Sorry. Juara diri atau juara rakyat? Bullshitting again? Cukuplah dengan slogan untuk mengelirukan rakyat. Rakyat dah bosan. Pakatanlah juara rakyat sebenar. IMalaysia apa? Bagi rakyat, ini hanya slogan sikorup.

1Malaysia never existed! It's all hypocrisy that's been holding this country all along! 1Malaysia will never exist if some will never give up some of their privileges! Rakyat didahulukan? Bullcrap!

Mr. PM, 1Malaysia has only been in your dreams, and it is in your dreams that it's still intact. It's time to wake up.
