Distorted Chords of the Now

So guys, do you remember Sonnet? I wrote about her some time ago, in Oh Sweet Sonnet.

Yea.. about her, I guess I'm no longer in her friend circle. Although, she will always be in mine. It's an odd declaration but I meant it. I don't know how to approach her before nor do I know it now. It was always her approaching me and I appreciated it. Maybe it's the jerk in me saying, but truly, I don't know how to start or maintain a conversation.

The Ego of a Passionate Reader

Reading isn’t studying. They’re just for fun.

-Twenty Faces-

(The Daughter of Twenty Faces)

          Back when I was a brat, I used to convince myself that I read because I love studying (or maybe just trying to convince myself that I'm smart, and all smart people read).
My surroundings helped that falsehood too.

I am Sorrow

I am not in sorrow :P

That's the name of a poem.

I AM SORROW

Just wanted to share an extract phrase on how one of my favourite character (and it seems that she's real) view refugees:

<>Do<>NoT<>AsK<>

I kept a lot of things to myself.
     Maybe that made people think I'm being secretive.
          Some friends may see that as me not trusting them enough.

When they ask me why's that, I usually tell them "I don't know".

Are we forever busy? - Nation | The Star Online

December makes one think about time and what we have done or not done over the past year.

It's December and we know that everyone is saying: “Wah, December already. The year just flew by, didn't it?”

The analytical person in me will reply: “You repeat yourself every year. I don't think it went any faster. It's just a perception.”

Time, of course, cannot move faster or slower. We are, after all, blessed with the same amount of it daily.

Contribute to Yourself

Time passes and now it's December. I have many plans for November but in the end, it's just some un-executed plans.

          Reaching the last month of the year makes me a bit sad. It's like a remembrance that I have wasted those passing months. True, I stayed to my goal, so why would I consider those times wasted? Still, telling yourself you have done great is like lying that your knowledge is as much as the pile of books in your home. You can relate to these right?

Keeping Oneself

I think everyone know how important it is to be yourself.

I'm not the best example though. After all, one of my trait is that I'm good at ignoring people, things etc. And that, sincerely, I know it's bad. But that's how I prefer myself to do. Instead of using the annoying method of quarreling till no end, it's better to ignore certain things right?
      No, on second thought, don't agree with me.

But in any case, being yourself is being you, right? If you try to be someone else, then this is the question I'll ask, "Where are you?". So, what about being conscious of what others are talking about you?

A case of Giving

Good news about today is..... I finished my script and articles!!!! YEA!!!

Here's the not so though:

          My department and I was in-charge for Iftar today.. oh wait, I meant yesterday. We were all first timers in doing these sort of things. Unfortunately, there was another Iftar held a few blocks away. Since our Iftar will be ongoing throughout Ramadhan while the other one is a one day event together with some contest, our High Com thought that just for that day, less people will be coming to the mosque for Iftar.

Oh wrong they were.

Attachment

You know how I'm too deeply attached to stories I've read or watched? I especially love the kind of stories that resonates deep within. The kind that doesn't need overly handsome characters that would melt my heart to make me like 'em.

Most of the stories(novels) I've read have these sort of feeling. As for movies, nah, usually, the impression didn't last for even a day.
          I guess that's coz I choose my novel quite well^^, excuse me if I voluntarily praise myself. *laugh* . As for movies, the factors as to why I don't enjoy them much could be because:

1. I don't watch movies that much.
2. I usually don't care what movie was played.
3. Normally, I just watched what others wanted to watch.
4. They're just something for me to see, and forget the next day.
5. I'm just curious why everyone seem to like them.
6. The advertisement is a whole lot better than the real show.

So yeah, that concludes why movies doesn't leave a deep long lasting memory to me. Not all though. I still love all 3 of The Lord of The Rings movies.

          But anime and manga differs to me. I read/watched a variety of them ranging from different genres. Most anime I choose to watch were interesting and something I would say "great" after it ends. Funnily however, the ones I choose rarely leave me attached to it for months or years. The kind of anime that made a deep long lasting I-don't-know-how-to-explain feeling in me are usually the one recommended. By the most annoying, irritating and meddlesome of a sister. She's not really the first person to introduce the world of manga/anime to me but she's the one who made me realize the joy of watching 'em. Blergh, that sounds annoying.

          The recent anime that I watched that still lingers would be Seirei no Moribito (Guardian of the Sacred Spirit) and Kemono no Souja, Erin (Beastinarian Erin). Those were recommended by that certain annoying sister. The one from long ago would be Sailormoon(manga), though no one really recommend it to me, but it's thanks to Hime that I was able to read that. And there's Code Geass, recommended by Hime. Still love it so much that I rewatched it many many times . Not just love, it's that swirling feeling that always made me think. Or daydream. Haha. And there's a few more but I don't really want to mention all, right? It would take hours and hours or maybe days and weeks to list all of 'em down.

          So basically, why did I start talking about this? That would be due to Saiunkoku Monogatari. I first watched the anime when Animax was still a new channel on Astro. I think that was 6 years ago. At first, it was just a normal like. But then I found out it have a second season, and so I continued till the second season. I only remember bits of it at that time. But maybe 4 or 3 years ago, I rewatched it. DANG, my views completely changed! When I watched it as a kid, I probably don't understand it that much. Since then, I've been rewatching it every year. And since I borrowed the series from my aunt last year, I've been rewatching it every month!

           Siena said she lost interest in it because almost all the guys in the series fell for Shuurei. And I don't remember what else. Actually, I thought so at first too. But then, the first time I rewatched it was because I got that fan-girl disease for Seiran. Haha. The next time I watched it, I kinda' understood Ryuuki's point of view and since I changed my target to General Ran. But the next time I watched it, I kinda' empathize with more characters and find the series even more interesting, not to mention the pain Ryuuki felt seemed more and more real. That's why I couldn't stop. I've been rewatching the series countless of times and I still feel hopelessly dense about the characters. As for Ryuuki, the more I understand his character, the painful it gets. I wanted to sympathize with him but if I do so, won't it be an insult to his effort? This might sound crazy since it's just anime but I sincerely feel like that.

          Sometimes I wonder if I treat reality the way I treat those novels and anime. When I see people in pain, I would pray hard for them or support them from the background. It just didn't feel like me to meddle in their business. The worst is, if they are trying hard, I refuse to sympathize because I feel that it's an insult to their hard work. I wonder if my way of thinking is severely wrong. And if they're not, even when they've been given a push or more, then I wouldn't even care. In this life, you determine how you want to walk your path, right? So if these people are given encouragement, are helped in various ways and still doesn't change, or try their best to change, what other treatment should they receive?

          In the past, due to stupidity and such narrow views, I would sympathize with myself. But you know, sympathizing with yourself is the same as blaming others for your fate. Or blaming fate itself. However, in doing so, you're just being pathetic. I forgot from which anime I heard this, 

"If you hate your fate, change it!" 

Allah gave us trials so we could overcome them, right? I'm not going to say that I've overcome my hurdle in life. Heck, there's plenty I haven't. I don't even have the confidence to say that I won't give up. I might will.

          However, as long as I live, I want to fall back to my own effort, my own hard work. If I fail, that's because I didn't give much effort in it. If I succeed, then maybe my way of doing things was right all along. If the going gets tough, and I feel like giving up, I would remember Kyoko and want to try my best to simply knock down the wall obstucting my path instead of looking for another way out.

          I'm not sure if you understand me but I am thankful to Allah because my experience have made me someone who could empathize well. I have no room for sympathy and I might and have been told I'm cold and harsh for that. Sometimes those words are true, I won't deny it. I'm not such a soft, kind girl in the first place. The least I have is the pride that if I ever did or will help someone, it's not due to sympathy. They just deserve the help, that's all there is to it.

Ehehe, so that all for now. Thanks for reading.

p/s : I actually just wanted to talk

about Ryuuki but I wonder

how it got dragged on.

 Hehe.

The Standard of a Pretty Boy

We all know how to set our own standard on things right? Tee hee, so I was joking about it with my grandmother.

          My eldest sister is basically of age for marriage. So my grandmother and mother was hoping that she gets married so very soon. I don't know if she's not interested or what, but in mine and my siblings opinion, she's a study freak. She probably loves to study and work so much that even if she love someone, she would choose her career or studies first. [Sorry Siena, if it's not true] I don't think that's a big deal though. Many girls marry at 30's nowadays right? Although, at that age, you're not a girl. A woman. Yucks, it hurts to be old.. And I'm on my way to that lane *sobs*.

          The thing about grandmothers, mothers, aunts and all the middle-aged woman who have children out there is the fact that they want their children to get married. As soon as they're eligible. Puh, not all eligible woman have found the right guy, you know? Well,  that's that. So when my eldest called us earlier, my grandmother told her to go find Mr. Right. Since I was the one doing the listening, and not the one pressured, it's just so hilarious. Probably that's coz I'm also in a good mood. Haha. But then my grandma said, "Just get who you like". Haha, I laughed again. Who she like? There's definitely a catch after that.

           Sure enough. Then she starts describing the characteristic she don't want in my sister so-called future partner. From personality to genetic traits! Hahaha!! Pity those whose pressure. And they are also at the age where getting a job is the utmost necessity for an independant lives. To think that all these years we were taught to be indepentdant ladies until the word "independant" itself must be grinded in our core head... now, when they are facing the world indepentdantly, these aged woman who supposedly raised them said, "Get a husband!" What's the point of making us super indepentdant then?

          I'm not saying that their thinking is wrong though. But I don't think a woman ought to be pressured to find the right guy. If so, they might just make the wrong choice in their rush and what a disaster the marriage would be! Oh wait, why did the topic come to this?

          So, after lunch, my mother suddenly brought up Tazia's case. That sister always dreamed of having the most perfect guy, especially in looks. But she ended up dating a "not-so" good looking person. Though, if you ask me, that guy is almost to perfection that it annoys me so much. He's brainiac, and a great athelete. Plus, he's not so bad in cooking. He's good with pastry too. And he does care for her. But still, my mom said, "why did she end up with that sort of looking guy?" with a sigh.

          Usually, I would laugh it off. Like Tazia would. She always complain about DL (the guy) 's look. He brag that he's handsome so we would definitely laugh at his face and says he's not! It was hilarious. But now, I felt so bad. When my mom said it, I detect that she's not joking. She meant he was not good looking. My thoughts went "whaaaat??" I hate to admit, but Tazia did found a guy with good values. How can my mom said such things? Good looks are not everything. My grandmother did say all the standards to Siena but though she was hoping, she's also joking.

          I don't wanna show how a shocked and half-angry I was, so I simply said, "I know. That's why, who told you to marry father? He become such a standard that all guys seems so ugly". I actually meant that as sarcasm. I didn't mean to use my dad, I just hope my mom realize that she was wrong. Maybe that had a negative effect. *sigh* My mother actually took it as a joke. She laugh so hard and said, "Yeah, it's your dad's fault. Why did I marry a handsome guy anyway? *laugh* Now all my in-laws would be ugly". When she put it that way, it does become a joke. My grandma joined in too and they started laughing.

         Well, since I have quite a lot of good-looking younger male cousins, we start saying how lucky their wife would be. And all the female in our family would be unlucky to have met such high standard looks is the male of our family. Now, any male in-laws would be defeated. Since they start going on and on, I decided to go away. I don't really want to start being an old lady by talking about this sort of things.

          I guess wherever is the same. Women out there are judged by looks. Since I'm a girl, I was always, ALWAYS told to be pretty etc. I didn't realize that males are also judged. I thought most guys would be judged by wealth. Haha. And good look is like a bonus charm. Maybe I was wrong. Who knew these middle-aged women look at all sort of things. Did they actually expect perfection? Is that why the love to sigh. I hope I don't get this bad disease. The sighing was bad enough.

My friend told me this before:

With one sigh, you lose a thousand happiness. With one (sincere) smile, you gain a thousand happiness.

So maybe, the looks part, you should not expect much. You don't want to sigh just because someone doesn't meet your expectation. Afterall, the saying goes "Don't judge a book by it's cover", right? We all deserve to be happier anyway.

Getting There, dear SPM

Let's see...

          I've decided to halt all online activities until my SPM is over. That would mean that this would be the last post for the month and I will only continue after SPM which would be umm... in after 2 months plus (?).

---

          As it is now, [I've receive several test papers] my trial results are very disappointing. Even to myself [!]. That's why, the alarm in me had rung and I really need to brush myself up for the upcoming exam. I don't want to regret it later.

          Since I've decided that, the moment you see this blog is updated [unless it stated - Yatta!! Exam's over in December], I've broken my own oath. Very despicable, no? 

There are quite a few things I wanted to post since I'll be holding myself back for the next two months (tee hee - 2 months IS really very very long for me).

1. Please, anyone who could translate BRIGHT - 1年2ヶ月20日, please help me do a PROPER translation!!
2. I'm still gonna be active on Twitter so.... to those who I follow : [this is a very selfish request] could you tweet things that could lift up fighting spirit?
3. About the dramas I'm planning to download,... hmm.. [ONLY if my standard grade rises SUPERBly] I might download it on holidays (might, might!! hopefully I could stand NOT TO)

How come I have a lot of things on my mind before I start typing and now all of it seems to fly away??

Oh, oh, and after SPM, I  thought... maybe.. since I like watching anime and dramas and reading manga soo much, maybe I should create a blog to summarize all that I watched/read??

I mean like detailed summary.

I know the feeling of not being able to watch something at that time, yet we wanted to know the latest of what happen so... [of course it'll be full of spoilers] but it's for those who really can't stand not knowing, right?? kiki, that's just what I think I want to do....

          For now, I'm gonna strugle with all I might and [pray] all will end well~

As for the rest,..

I've already forgotten what I wanted to say..

So,.. 

This is goodbye,

I guess.

Hope whatever One Piece updates that I'll be missing will be great so that I have MANY chapters to read with great pleasure.

Hope I have enough money to buy MS Gundam Seed and MS Gundam Seed Destiny ORIGINAL Set (DVD only) by the end of the year.

Hopefully Ojakgyo Brothers turn to be a worthwhile drama^^.

Hopefully I could buy the two album I've been longing for a while now~

Hopefully I could really get extraordinary and exceptional results for SPM.

Hope I have time to help NaO download Giseang something drama..

Hopefully I [magically] get a set of T-shirts consisting of all One Piece characters (that would be super cool)

Hopefully I won't be depressed thorough these demanding(for me) times.

Hopefully I won't faint in exam hall again.

Hopefully they released Ouran High School Host Club DVD (drama) by the end of the year - together with the english subs - so I could buy it^^

Hopefully EVERYTHING went as planned and I don't stray from my own promises.

Buh bye

currently listening to :

Very normal eyes

More like PERFECT !!!!!

          I didn't go to school today~ huuh... though there are many times I don't want to go, today is not one of those days~ I had co-curricular activities which I was looking forward to. But I have an appointment with the doctor so I had to go to the hospital instead. I felt bad for mom because she only had 2 payed leaves a year and she was saving it for my grandfather. But she had to use it today for me =.=ll.

          Well, according to the doctor (like every other doctor and optician have said), my eyes were PERFECTly fine. She had no idea what-so-ever as to why I had blurry eyes whenever I had migraine. Oh yea, I have migraine. She comfirmed it today~ So, she arrange for another appointment next month. I'll be going alone this time though. Mom can't afford another leave. That, I understand. It's better that way too. Though I'm supposed to be accompanied, but I felt much more comfortable if I go and see the doctor alone.

       Elle had no say in this matter. It's not really strange. He seldom had an opinion. Fritz on the other hand, as usual, poke his nose in this matter. He's soo over-concerned. He's making up assumption this and that... It's annoying but at the same time soothing. Can't really say that I hate his over reaction. His exaggeration calms me a whole lot!

          And so, since Elle kept quite, Fritz being hysterical, and myself being myself (not doing anything much but worry endlessly), LaRich and Dev suggested that I should surf the internet. Maybe I'll get some clue~ Good thing I have those two. Cause' sometimes I forgot their existence since I am much more closer to Elle and Fritz always butts in.

Thus, we surf the following sites :

I see blurry lines when I get migraines
Vision problems
Chronic headaches, dizziness and blurry visions
Blurred Visions
Blurred Vision and Headache
Migraine headache in children and adolescent

So that's what I got. 

          I could only think that maybe I only have migraine headache. And what my aunts and teacher said were WRONG. Migraine can be severe. They told me not. This aren't the best news to calm me down but at least it's much more assuring~ Haixx....

And now I'm thinking, 'This is seriously bad'.

praying for the best, hoping for the best, NOT prepared for the worst just yet.
but willing to accept what-ever~

That Dishonest Part

           NaO came to my house today. Since Huninis went to Penang with Ien to deal with visa things before she flies to Japan for Sienna's graduation, I asked NaO to stay for the night. And her mom gives a green light so she stayed the night. Huhu, NaO is just beside me sleeping soundlessly, don't know if she dream of anything. Well, if you're reading this later on NaO, I just want to say thanks for today. If you didn't come, I might be one mad woman getting frustrated over every little things that had happened today.

          I think Elle has a problem. I want him to tell me but ah, the obvious annoying Elle not gonna spill a bean! Haixxx,..... I miss him. Truth is he didn't talk much even before but now,... he became almost mute. Hope he's not deaf. While NaO was chatting with me in the dining hall, Elle just sat and stare. He's not even trying to be polite by going away. I know that NaO can't see him but still, it was uncomfortable for me. By the way, I told NaO almost, just almost everything about myself. No, maybe I told her 1/3 of the important things. I felt that if I tell her too much, that I'll be depending on her like I depend on the noname voice. I never really call him anything. Just a no name voice. Felt like if I ever give him a name, I might not wonder or curious to know his real name. Therefore, until he tells me himself, he'll just be another noname.

          NaO actually listen what I said. I thought, really do thought that everyone will thing that I'm crazy if I ever confess on having this problem. I consider it a mental illness. I guess that's why I'm so sensitive to any mental illness. But I was, and probably still am really dishonest. Never telling the whole truth, and keeping things to myself. Maybe that's why I'm left out. Or ignorant. I really love my friends but I can't seem to have the confidence of being very close to them. Maybe that's why Hime doesn't share her situation with me. Though it hurt a bit, maybe more, but I kinda' deserves it. After all, I don't tell her anything either. Chii mo. Noname would probably be disappointed with how I grew up to be. Oh yeah, I noticed that Fritz were doing something while I was in the dining hall with NaO. And LaRich, haha. Caught him glancing over at NaO. I wonder if any one of them would do anything if they sees Chii. Too bad they haven't met Chii. I would like to know their views on her. Hime mo. Maybe Fritz would. Haha, Fritz is giving me a glare. Did he sense I wrote something about him?

          That poem I wrote, I'll dedicate it too them. I'll fix it. Then hopefully I'll have the courage to send it for publishing in  the school magazine. Hopefully they would understand. I talk to Sasha about our future. And we kinda' agree with one thing : we might not WANT to contact our friends right now no matter how close we are. Of course, our reasons differ. Mine would be because I have no confidence that I could stand watching them become further apart from me from the short distance I'll be. I'm really building a wall. It's too keep myself safe, actually. I guess that incident with Flower and Soyain from 7 years back was still too much for me. And the same as what happen 5 years ago with Saru and just a year after, with Mimi-chan. I learn my lesson. Though it was a stupid thing and not the right moral value, and though I know of this, I will still take it as a lesson.

          Just like how Kyoko secure her box by locking it over and over again, I secure my heart by shutting it tight, only letting tiny pores to open so that it could still breath and help me face this big reality world.

Definition of Alice in Wonderland syndrome

Alice in Wonderland syndrome: A syndrome of distorted space, time and body image. The patient with the Alice in Wonderland syndrome has a feeling that their entire body or parts of it have been altered in shape and size. The syndrome is usually associated with visual hallucinations. The majority of patients with the syndrome have a family history of migraine headache or have overt migraine themselves.
The syndrome was first described in 1955 by the English psychiatrist John Todd (1914-1987). Todd named it, of course, for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. Perhaps not coincidentally, Lewis Carroll suffered from severe migraine. Also known as a Lilliputian hallucination.
source : http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=24174

Alice in Wonderland Syndrome (AIWS or AWS) describes a set of symptoms, the most famous of which are:

• Alteration of body image: the sizes of parts of the body are perceived incorrectly.
  
• Alteration of visual perception: the sizes of external objects are perceived incorrectly.

Most reports are about children experiencing AIWS symptoms, though many people experience it in later life. Many people say they had AIWS symptoms as a child, but 'grew out' of them around their teens.
The most common time to experience AIWS symptoms is at night.
The most prominent and often most disturbing symptom is that of altered body image: the sufferer will find that they are confused as to the size and shape of parts of (or all of) their body. The parts usually mentioned are the head and hands; growth seems more usual than shrinkage. This phenomenon seems to have the medical term 'metamorphosis'.
The second major symptom is the distortion of visual perception. The eyes themselves are normal, but the sufferer 'sees' objects with the wrong size or shape and/or finds that perspective is incorrect. This can mean that people, cars, buildings, etc. look smaller or larger than they should be, or that distances look incorrect; for example a corridor may appear to be very long, or the ground may appear too close.
Other symptoms which have been referred to as part of AIWS include:

• Distorted time perception; time moving quickly or slowly.
• Distorted touch perception, e.g. a feeling that the ground is 'spongy' under the feet or that the sensation received from touching something is simply incorrect or unrecognised.
• Distorted sound perception.

so maybe i don't have it~ i hope not.

Alice in WonderLand

Don't know whether this is truth or made up:
watch a movie which says that there's this syndrome called the Alice Syndrome.
It's where one tends to mix reality with fables.
If it exists, then I'm pretty much sure for about 99% (need the other 1% from doctor) that I have this syndrome.
I think my life is pretty much a fable. No, truth is that I know it's not. But I keep getting this image~ It's as if I don't live in reality although I know I live in one. How do you describe it. It's like everyday, I wake up to go to school, I was awaken by my alarm clock. I know I set it. But every morning, when i open my eyes, there's a butler greets me "good morning, young miss" and he'll ask what i want to eat~
Though I make my own breakfast, when I ate them, I could here maids whispering, observing my expression to know whether the food is good or bad. Then when I went out on my bicycle, I know I saw my tutor riding a horse right next to me, telling me to handle my horse properly. That I must take care of the horse, don't be too harsh on it. And careful not to fall from it. And all the sudden I am riding a horse in this vast green land. While I'm doing homework, my eyes would see pile and piles of document to sign, to read, to comment on... The literature art of papers, i could see them all in my maths book. Although I'm listening to rock music,.. i could hear faint sound of ballad and jazz.
Sometimes the 3 pot flowers at my house appears like a garden of daisies, roses, and well a garden. A proper super big garden that you can only attend if you have enough gardeners. And yes, I don't have a gardener. Yet I could hear few gardeners greets me when i water the plants. They'll be saying things like "Taking a walk, young miss?", "The flowers are blooming well...." or "You look great, young miss".

There's more to it. Even as I'm typing this, I'm at a home office working on a new project for business. And when I look up to take a breath, my office is at the shore where I can smell the scent of waves, see the seagulls flying low towards the sea.

So what is this? Hallucination? Maybe I need a doctor. Maybe not. After all, it affects my life only like this. But what if there's more to it?

I'm at lost.

ONE MALAYSIA ~~~

this is what i'm studying (for my own interest.....)

1 MALAYSIA

Setelah 52 Merdeka, rakyat Malaysia yang terdiri daripada pelbagai kaum, agama, budaya, adat resam dan fahaman politik memerlukan satu misi bagi memajukan negara secara bersama. Konsep Satu Malaysia yang diperkenalkan oleh YAB Perdana Menteri adalah langkah yang amat bertepatan dengan suasana dan citarasa rakyat.

Semua rakyat Malaysia perlu menganggap diri mereka adalah bangsa Malaysia yang berfikir dan bertindak dalam satu nada dan satu matlamat. Ciri-ciri demografi seperti negeri, daerah, kaum, agama dan budaya wajar dihindari bagi mewujudkan satu bangsa Malaysia yang berfikiran terbuka serta ingin memajukan negara secara bersama.

Perpaduan kaum yang sedia terjalin antara kaum di negara ini perlu diperkukuhkan lagi dengan menganggap kita adalah rakyat Malaysia dan bangsa Malaysia. Keadaan ini akan dapat menwujudkan suasana negara yang aman, harmoni, selesa, keselamatan yang terjamin dan memberi kemakmuran kepada negara. Rakyat perlu memahami bahawa negara yang mempunyai kestabilan politik dan keselamatan yang terjamin akan memberi perkembangan ekonomi yang pesat. Oleh itu rakyat akan dapat menikmati limpahan daripada kerancakan ekonomi negara.

Kini rakyat Malaysia perlu keluar daripada kepongpong yang telah lama membelenggu fikiran dan tindakan yang berunsul perkauman. Kerajaan di bawah kepimpinan YAB Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib mengajak rakyat berkerja secara bersama untuk membina, memaju serta memantapkan negara tanpa mengira kaum. Negara perlu diutamakan mengatasi segala kepentingan peribadi dan kumpulan masing-masing. Kerajaan akan bersikap adil dan saksama kepada rakyat di negara ini tanpa memingirkan mana-mana kaum berdasarkan kepentingan dan mereka yang layak akan diberi bantuan. Kepentingan bumiputera juga akan dijaga sebagaimana yang terjamin dalam perlembagaan berasaskan kepentingan dan kelayakan.

Nilai-nilai murni seperti hormat menghormati dan saling mempercayai perlu wujud di kalangan rakyat negara ini. Setiap kaum perlu menghindari perasan curiga dan syak wasangka kerana setiap kaum akan mendapat hak dan peluang yang sama. Setiap kaum bebas mengamal dan menganuti agama, budaya dan adat resam masing-masing di samping kaum yang lain perlu menghormati. Fikiran dan tindakan perlu mengatakan bahawa kita adalah rakyat Malaysia, bangsa Malaysia dan bertekad untuk bersama membangun dan memajukan negara di samping sedia mempertahankan negara daripada sebarang ancaman.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Pengenalan

Rakyat Malaysia terdiri daripada pelbagai kaum dan agama perlu menganggap diri mereka sebagai bangsa Malaysia yang berfikir dan bertindak ke arah mencapai satu matlamat. Sejajar dengan ini, perpaduan yang sedia terjalin antara kaum di negara ini perlu diperkukuhkan lagi bagi mewujudkan suasana negara yang lebih aman, maju, selamat dan makmur.

Konsep 1 Malaysia yang diperkenalkan oleh YAB Dato Sri Mohd Najib Tun Abdul Razak, Perdana Menteri, adalah langkah yang bertepatan dengan suasana dan cita rasa rakyat. Konsep ini selari dengan apa yang termaktub dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan dan Prinsip-Prinsip Rukun Negara

1 Malaysia membawa aspirasi untuk memperbaiki hubungan kaum bagi memastikan rakyat Malaysia dapat menjalin perpaduan yang lebih erat. Perkara asas yang perlu diwujudkan dalam semangat perpaduan adalah perasaan hormat menghormati, keikhlasan dan sikap saling mempercayai antara kaum. ‘1 Malaysia’ juga akan mewujudkan sebuah kerajaan yang mengutamakan pencapaian berpaksikan keutamaan rakyat sebagai mana slogan YAB Perdana Menteri iaitu ‘Rakyat didahulukan, Pencapaian diutamakan’.

‘1 Malaysia’ memerlukan kepimpinan dan rakyat yang berintegriti tinggi. Sifat jujur, berkebolehan, bercakap benar, telus, ikhlas dan amanah amat penting untuk melaksanakan tanggungjawab kepada negara.

1 Malaysia memerlukan pemimpin yang bijak mentafsir dan memahami tugasan yang diberi. Pemimpin cemerlang dan komited sewajarnya memiliki kebolehan yang tinggi dalam merancang, mengatur strategi, menilai prestasi dan menepati masa dalam memberi perkhidmatan yang terbaik kepada rakyat.

Kesungguhan dan komitmen terhadap tugas dan tanggungjawab menjadi asas atau senjata paling ampuh dalam mencapai sesuatu kejayaan. Negara memerlukan rakyat yang berdedikasi dan komited untuk melaksanakan tugas dan tanggungjawab dengan penuh iltizam, azam dan tekad demi kepentingan dan kemajuan negara.

Malaysia juga memerlukan pemimpin yang mesra rakyat dan sanggup berkorban masa, tenaga dan kewangan serta mengetepikan kepentingan peribadi demi negara Malaysia. Pemimpin yang bekerja dengan penuh dedikasi dan hati yang ikhlas akan mendapat sokongan dan dihormati oleh semua lapisan masyarakat.

Semua kaum perlu mengutamakan kesetiaan dan kepentingan kepada negara mengatasi kesetiaan kepada kaum dan kelompok sendiri. Negara ini adalah negara untuk semua rakyat, tanpa mengira kaum, agama, budaya serta fahaman politik. Semua kaum perlu menganggap bahawa mereka adalah bangsa Malaysia di mana segalanya perlu dinikmati secara bersama. Malaysia adalah negara kita di mana tidak ada masyarakat atau kaum yang akan dipinggirkan daripada menikmati pembangunan dan pembelaan daripada kerajaan.

1 Malaysia adalah pemangkin kepada pengwujudan negara bangsa yang dapat membina Malaysia sebagai negara yang mempunyai sikap kesamaan dan kekitaan di kalangan rakyat. Keupayaan membina negara bangsa bergantung kepada perkongsian nilai integriti, kebolehan, dedikasi dan kesetiaan.

Pemimpin dan rakyat perlu memahami dan menghayati lapan nilai 1Malaysia, iaitu budaya kecemerlangan, ketabahan, rendah hati, penerimaan, kesetiaan, meritokrasi, pendidikan dan integiti.

Definisi

Konsep 1 Malaysia menurut penjelasan YAB Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib Tun Abdul Razak:
“Kita berdiri, kita berfikir dan bertindak sebagai bangsa Malaysia. One People. Dan kita mengambil tindakan-tindakan berdasarkan kehendak semua kumpulan etnik dalam negara kita;

Ini bukan bererti kita mengetepikan dasar afirmatif, dasar untuk menolong kaum Bumiputera asalkan dasar itu dilaksanakan dengan cara yang adil dan memberi pertimbangan kepada golongan Bumiputera yang layak mendapat sesuatu pertimbangan daripada kerajaan.

Kita keluar daripada cara bertindak dalam tembok etnik yang kita amalkan sejak sekian lama”.
