1Malaysia?

I bet you have noticed the excessive amount of ads bombarded daily through every medium possible, the mass media, in all the bills (astro/celcom), and what not, but it kinda raised my eyebrow when i start having people who meet me greeting "Salam 1Malaysia" instead of the normal good morning.

Was Malaysia ever more than 1 that you need to proclaim it as such?

I understand the need to unite the people,

but i think we can really call ourselves Malaysians,

• when a chinese is able to tell me in jest that the malays are simply lazy without me wielding a keris at him.
  
• when a malay can tell his chinese buddy that all chinese are cheats when it comes to money, without the friend swearing profanities at him,
• and when we can tell an indian that all indians are "kaki belit" without being hit with a hockey stick.

we're so sensitive towards all racial markers, that i think we really need learn to be insensitive.

and please, do we really need theme songs for every other awareness campaign?

all we need is some ♥ people, some brotherly universal ♥.
