Datuk Seri Najib Razak insisted today that his 1 Malaysia concept was not a carbon copy from another country despite claims by the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) that it resembled the 1 Israel concept.
Najib said today that he was offended by such claims, saying that it was a downright “big lie”.
He maintained that the 1 Malaysia concept was introduced shortly after he became prime minister in 2009.
“The 1 Malaysia concept was not copied from another country. It is my own creation. Other countries may have a one this and a one that but nowhere in this world is there a 1 Malaysia: People First, Performance Now,” he said when opening the Cuepacs triennial convention here.
In an apparent attack on PR, Najib said his government’s policies were realistic in nature and not a “dream”.
“It is very easy for us to make a political promise, but will that something based on the most populist approach be beneficial to us or otherwise?” he asked.
PR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has been telling political rallies nationwide that the policies under 1 Malaysia are the exact copy of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak’s 1 Israel.
