At least Nazri was consistent, other Ministers should follow

Nazri has openly challenged detractors questioning his identity and priorities as a citizen and said: “And yes, I am a Malaysian first and Malay next. Does any bigot have a problem with that?”In this respect, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Nazri Abdul Aziz must be praised for his clear stand and support for Najib’s 1Malaysia. Whether Nazri is anti-Dr Mahathir (former premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad) is another matter.
For the general good and well-being of Malaysia, we must support Nazri on the issue, giving undivided support to Najib’s 1Malaysia. Nazri is now being unfairly attacked by an Utusan Malaysia columnist who writes under the pen name Awang Selamat.All Malaysians should give Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak the time and chance to fully implement his 1Malaysia concept or policy. Truly forging a 1 Malaysia is the only way forward for our multi-racial nation.

1Malaysia will create conducive environment for a united and peaceful country and therefore help Malaysians face the ever growing global economic challenges and competitiveness. Such an environment will also help promote local and foreign investors by boosting confidence.We should appreciate Nazri’s consistent defence of the government against the critics of 1Malaysia that include Mahathir who is Perkasa adviser. At least Nazri has been consistent and forthright in his statements supporting Najib and the government.

Nazri said he would continue to defend the government, just as he did in the past when Mahathir and Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi were the prime minister. He has done no wrong and neither has he said anything wrong.Nazri has rightly demanded Awang Selamat to come clean on where his loyalty lies, with Mahathir or Najib. Nazri also said he wondered whether Awang knew who his boss was because he was undermining the 1Malaysia policy of Najib by promoting the narrow racism of Perkasa Chief Ibrahim Ali.

On this issue, Nazri therefore deserves the support of all Malaysians, irrespective of race or religion, for his clear stand and vision for a bright and prosperous future of Malaysia.It’s time for the rest of Ministers/MPs and PoliticianS to follow our Y.B. Nazri’s clear cut declaration.
