1Malaysia


1Malaysia
Swiped from Abd Hadi.
When I was in secondary school, Mahathir was still in power. He had his iron grip on the country and we all were under the thrall of his Vision 2020. And because of that propaganda, me and my classmates had to write tonnes of essays on that topic. And we were constantly trying to squeeze that term into our writings to gain some imaginary brownie points. Much later, Badawi came along and but there wasn't a buzzword. I think the late Endon's batik even outshined her husband. Fast forward to the present and we have Najip's 1Malaysia. I'm guessing that students are facing the same thing that I did. 1Malaysia this, 1Malaysia that. Even people in the corporate world and media are trying to outdo each other incorporating that phrase into advertisements and products. So sienz. So boring. So kiss-ass.

Jelaskan kesan kemelesetan ekonomi terhadap kemerosotan sahsiah di kalangan belia di negara kita. Karangan anda seharusnya tidak kurang daripada 500 patah perkataan dan mengandungi sekurang-kurangnya 5 ayat yang menggunakan frasa "1Malaysia".

Good luck!

That's one interesting thought to ponder. I remember writing something on Wawasan 2020 for an essay writing competition and won first prize. Used the word repeatedly like the numbers of "lalala" in Kylie's "Can't Get You out of My Head." ;p

I've been hearing much about 1Malaysia and have modified it into my own, more meaningful version of a catchline for a vision. That's right, spread the word... 1Malaysia, 0Discrimination. So much better!

It was useful although there was no Vision 2020 mentioned in the dictionary.
