...INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND ANALYSIS AND IMPLICATION OF THE TRAGEDY THE OBJECTIVES OF RUKUN NEGARA THE PRINCIPLE OF RUKUN NEGARA CONCLUSION REFERENCE INTRODUCTION Even though most of the people in the country has heard of Rukun Negara, the understanding and the level of knowledge about it varies very much between each individual. Most of them only know about the existence of the Rukun Negara, while some are only able to repeat the principle. However, there are some who understand the meaning as well as the message and the demands of each principle. Rukun Negara should be taken as a guide in our day-to-day living because it is a set of “national tenets” that teaches us the right norms of behaviour. There are two types of dimensions of relationship involved wherever there is human interaction. These two relationships are relationship among fellow human beings and relationship with god. Both of these two dimensions of relationships are recognised by all religions and all profess doing the right things in life. The principles of Rukun Negara ideologise the level the level of authority that control and guide us from the level of god down to the state level, institutions level and finally the self level. The entire background of the ideology and the purpose for creating it must be clearly understood by an individual to internalise the spirits of Rukun Negara. Ideology means a scheme of ideas at the basic of a system. When we say that Rukun Negara is a national ideology...

...AS MALAYSIANS of all races prepare to commemorate the 53rd Merdeka anniversary, I would like to stress once again the very fundamentals that have brought us together which are the very principles contained in the Rukun Negara, our national philosophy. Through its five tenets (Belief in God; Loyalty to the King and Country; Upholding the Constitution; Rule of Law, and Good Social Behaviour and Morality) the Rukun Negara has formed the principles of our nationhood and these should be inculcated in our younger generation who are the future leaders of our country. The Rukun Negara is our guide for nation-building and should be respected by all. It is a shared vision for national unity and its principles should always be upheld and practised. Many people are taking unity for granted. Even more saddening is that 40 years after the proclamation of the Rukun Negara, it appears that many have forgotten about its five tenets and what they stand for, while others still need to be reminded about the national philosophy. Some have again played to the race gallery for their own personal agenda and selfish ends. This is not a healthy development for in a multi-racial, mutli-religious and multi-cultural country like Malaysia, continuous effort must be made by all Malaysians to nurture and reinforce unity. We must be prepared to reduce our strong sense of ethnicity in order to achieve a “Bangsa Malaysia”. Malaysians should start accepting each other as Malaysians regardless...

...Rukun Negara (National Principles) INTRODUCTION OF RUKUN NEGARA The Rukunegara or sometimes Rukun Negara (Malay for "National Principles") is the Malaysian dec-laration of national philosophy instituted by royal proclamation on Merdeka Day, 1970, in reaction to a serious race riot known as the May 13 Incident which occurred in 1969. The incident proved at that time that Malaysian racial balance and stability was fragile at best. Immediately thereafter, the Malay-sian government sought ways to foster unity among Malaysians. One of the methods used to encourage unity is the Rukunegara. BACKGROUND OF RK ----was formulated with the purpose to serve as a guideline in the country’s nation-building efforts. ---was proclaimed on August 31, 1970 by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong IV. OBJECTIVE OF RK • Achieving a greater unity for all her peoples • Maintaining a democratic way of life • Creating a just nation shall be equitably distributed • Ensuring a liberal approach to her rich and diverse cultural traditions, and • Building a progressive society which shall be oriented to modern science and technology. Recitation It is a norm for primary and secondary public schools in Malaysia to recite the pledge weekly during a compulsory assembly. Pledge reading follows immediately after the singing of the Malaysian national anthem, Negaraku. Of some interest, the Rukun Negara could usually be found behind the cover of every exercise book that is typically used by primary and secondary...

The very first race that stay in this land were indigenous tribes also known as Orang Asli that still remains; Malay is the next, who moved from mainland Asia in long time ago.

Each major religious group has its major holidays such as "Hari Raya Adilfiltri", "Hari Raya Cina" and "Hari Deevapali". Hari Kebangsaan is the most universal holidays that celebrate by the whole Malaysian to celebrate the independent of Malaya back to 31 August 1957. Although festivals are differently from the different ethics, but they still celebrate together in Malaysia. This shows that Malaysian hold the One Malaysia spirit. Before the existence of the three main commiunities (Malay,Chinese and Indian), almost the entire population of Malaya consisted of Malays. In the early 19th century more than 90% of the population in the peninsular of Malaysia and Singapore were Malays. There were only a few number of Chinese who had come to Malaya as traders and settled down in Melacca, Kuala Terengganu, Johor River, Pahang River and Kelantan.
