How is 1Malaysia diff. from Malaysian Malaysia?

U'd probably be asking... what on earth is Malaysian Malaysia? Precisely, it's never heard of. unless u study ur history more in depth. Malaysian Malaysia was mooted by Lee Kuan Yew, the then party leader of People's Action Party, when they contested in the General Elections in Malaya when Singapore merged.

Guess what?

PAP won the bangsar seat against MCA. the rest is history.

So, the million dollar question is, how does Najib's slogan differ from LKY's slogan? Problem is, if it doesn't differ, then Najib is definitely changing the direction of UMNO, and the members shudn't be happy at all.

If there's a diff. What?

Personally, I don't see any difference at all. When we're called Malaysians, then are we not one? Only when we start differentiating chinese from malays from indians from ibans from etc. etc. then we have many! But if we're 1Malaysia, is it not also Malaysian Malaysia?

Then maybe one might say "no, no, no, no, no. 1 Malaysia still protects the interest of the Malays." Wait, doesn't that reasoning translates to 1Malay? or 2Malaysia?

Although, I would admit in the past I am in agreement to recognize the Malays to have special position because they do not abuse that recognition to the point of racism and racial polarisation. In today's context, to give anyone party special treatment tantamounts to racism.

I would love to recognize them as one of the original people, but not in expense of the recognition of chinese and indians and all other malaysians, whose citizenship is guaranteed under the Federal Constitution, it will never make us immigrants.

I suspect, that Najib's new slogan was made in lieu that majority of the new generation is ignorant to that historical fact. So far, not many of my circle of friends know about "Malaysian Malaysia", besides the Singaporeans. Well, what is this ignorance that benefits Najib? I'm not too sure yet. Maybe I'm wrong about the whole ignorance thing.
