...and the rationale for this being...?
This country must be run on the basis of our constitution and the Rukun Negara. National wealth cannot be use only for one group. Take PATRONAS. Only one group is benifitting from the wealth and the lucrative contracts it gives out from time to time.There is even a golf club which is meant for civil servants which from time to time has functions for one religious group while others are left out.
This phrase Satu Malaysia orginates from an old usage of the term. Eg. Satu Kampong. Bila dia dapat banyak duit dia telah beritahu Satu Kampong. That is what his wife will tell him when he goes around telling eveybody he has come to receive a large amount of cash.Ramalx
