SONG: Satu Malaysia

1 Malaysia

Rakyat didahulukan

Pencapaian diutamakan

Oh indahnya pabila kita bersama

Kau, aku, kita semua tiada bezanya

No matter whatever the challenge may be

We’ll face it together the stronger we’ll be

Undra ge senthu endrum vaal vom

santhosam nirentharom

CHORUS
1 bangsa, 1 suara, 1 nada, 1 irama
Bersama kita capai semua

1 Malaysia

1 bangsa (we’re united in music)

1 irama (and united we stand)

I feel the hearts of my people when we struggle everyday

to be the best that we can

We share the food that we eat

We share the words that we speak

I say “What’s up?”

You say “Apa cerita?”

You hungry bro? Jom makan la

We go up, never go down
We go up together

Wo mên shê yi ge Malaisiya

Wo mên yong you zai tong yi ge jia

Together we are strong (tuan jie yi qi bu fen pi chi)

Together we are strong (xiang qin xiang ai wan zhong yi sin)

United we stand forever and ever

That’s the way it’s gonna be

The song title is “Satu Malaysia” composed by AMP Radio Networks All stars. I choose this song because it can inspire us as it had inspired me to be 1 Malaysia. The lyric was interesting and meaningful to me. Since Datuk Seri Najib Tun Abdul Razak became the sixth Prime Minister, he introduced a concept of solidarity, which is One Malaysia. The Prime Minister also states that the 1 Malaysia concepts is the guideline on how to achieve bangsa Malaysia, which translates into English as a “Malaysian race”. People First. Performance Now." That's the theme of the one Malaysia concept that was given by our 6th Prime Minister of Malaysia.

For the first reason I choose this song..I would like to share about the song lyrics which is

One nation, one voice, one tone, one rhythm. Together we have achieved everything to be 1 Malaysia.

Nowadays, certain of Malaysian citizens sort their selves according by their races. Thus, it will create a gap between races. Furthermore, some of our people are only socialize with their own race and they were unlikely to be friendly to the other races. These factors are also adapted into our local economy sectors. For an example, The Chinese employer will only hire Chinese employees to work in their company. As a result, Chinese are now dominating the commercial fields in Malaysia. Plus, it also caused other race such as Malay and Indian to have less opportunity to work in this field. Besides, it also causes our country become not completely united. That’s why in this song state that we all together must unite to achieve everything to be one Malaysia.

For the second reason, the songs state..

We share the food that we eat
We share the words that we speak

When speaking of unity, in Malaysian context, the first thing that comes to mind is all races living together share the foods and their talks and live in harmony. Unity comes in many other forms such as unity in education, cultural, socio-economy, political, regional and so on. They are no difference between the rich and the poor, the government and the opposition, the educated and those who are not, the white collars and the blue collars, the young and the old, and so on. We must share everything because as we need to accept and live in peace with each other, showing concern and respect and interest in all people. We must develop a spirit of love, kindness and generosity among our people.

For the third reason.. the songs state

We go up, never go down
We go up together

As a Malaysian, to go up together we must know and understand about the Rukun Negara that consist of 5 principles. It was officially introduced on 1970 in the hope that it would strengthen national unity in Malaysia's multicultural society. The declaration of the 5 principles are

Kepercayaan kepada Tuhan

Kesetiaan kepada Raja dan Negara

Keluhuran Perlembagaan

Kedaulatan Undang-undang

Kesopanan dan Kesusilaan

The Rukun Negara bears a strong link to the 1Malaysia and it was created to form a national ideology to unite the multi-racial nation.

In conclusion, today I ask you to join me in this task of renewing Malaysia and rise to the challenge of building a One Malaysia. Being different in culture and religious beliefs have contributed to making us very unique and interesting. Though Islam is the official religion, but there is freedom of religion in Malaysia.

Together we are strong

United we stand forever and ever

That’s the way it’s gonna be

We should be proud to be Malaysian!!!!

QuEsTiOn & AnsWeR

23 September 2010

For today class, 2 question that had been asked by Mr. Ahmad, many of my friends give their opinion to answer the questions. I’m the one that also had been asked about those questions.

1)How economies effect the ethnic relation in our country?

~Ethnic relations in Malaysia are complex, dynamic and fluid according to demographic factors which usually relate to spatial location and economic dependence of an ethnic group. The New Economic Policy was introduced in 1971 to reduce the economic divide between the Malays and the other races in the country by according them special rights. In my opinion, NEP has exerted major influence not only on Malaysia economy but on Malaysia society as a whole and it give a major impact for the Malaysia society.

2) How to get away from being prejudice and having stereotype to different ethnics?

~ Stereotyping is referred to as any theory or doctrine indicating that that action of an individual reflect on his or her whole culture, sex, age, race, class, or nationality. It could also be considered as a tool which people use to label others and then classes them into a certain category. The general relationship between a person who is prejudiced and a person who stereotypes is the fact that they are both mean spirited. That is, they violate the rights of individuals by forming perceptions about people based solely on their membership in a particular group. All races assume that, one race is a certain way and another is a different way. By going into depth into the stereotype and discussing how that compared with the way people were raise in the community. Truthfully it all depends on experiences and how that person was raised. Automatically a single person has the true choice whether or not they want to be prejudice or not or even believe stereotypes. In my opinion, people should not just automatically assume someone is stuck-up just because of their skin color or race. People should understand that prejudice is fear of what you don't know, what you don't understand. The world should be more understanding.

To the end of the class...Mr. Ahmad had giving some advice, he state that we have to watch our habit because it will becomes our destiny. Furthermore, to be a successful person, we have to find information and needs to reads a lot. In my opinion, knowledge is the food for the mind and soul. Apart from giving us the basic information about the world around us, it also provides us with the food for thought. It encourages us to think and it increases our hunger for knowledge and our thirst to learn more.
