...This has been done namely through the setting up of the Integrity Management Committee in all ministries, departments and agencies of the Federal Government as well as the State Governments. However, there is no mechanism thus far to involve other sectors, such as the private sector, political parties, non-government organizations, religious groups, the media, women, youth and students in an integrated and coordinated movement to enhance integrity. It is in this regard that the government has formulated the National Integrity Plan (NIP) which will act as a master plan to guide all of the above sectors. The formulation of the NIP is predicated upon the spirit and principles of the Federal Constitution, the philosophy and principles of the Rukun Negara as well as the aspirations of Vision 2020. The overall objective of the NIP is to fulfill the fourth challenge of Vision 2020, namely, "to establish a fully moral and ethical society whose citizens are strong in religious and spiritual values and imbued with the highest ethical standards." The NIP is an integrity plan that has evolved from the aspirations of our people and our country. It has been formulated in accordance with our own mould with Malaysians of all ethnic and religious groups as its stakeholders. The plan takes into...

...akan menghantui kehidupan masyarakat. Justeru, bagi membentuk sebuah negara yang padu mesti ada etika dan falsafah kenegaraan yang dapat membina kecintaan (patriotisme), kesetiaan, permuafakatan dan perpaduan rakyatnya. Di negara kita, kerajaan telah menggubal Rukun Negara sebagai falsafah, etika dan ideologi (doktrin) negara. Sewajarnyalah setiap rakyat memahami latar belakang, objektif dan prinsip Rukun Negara itu. Dari segi latar belakangnya, Rukun Negara digubal setelah berlakunya peristiwa rusuhan kaum pada 13 Mei 1969. Peristiwa tersebut telah mendorong pemimpin negara dari pelbagai kaum memikirkan satu formula bagi memulihkan perpaduan kaum yang lebih utuh dan kental. Rukun Negara digubal sebagai satu bentuk garis panduan dalam membina masyarakat yang bersatu padu, adil dan harmoni. Rukun Negara telah menjadi dasar kesatuan dan perpaduan bangsa serta pedoman bagi kegiatan hidup masyarakat pelbagai kaum dan budaya di negara ini. Rukun Negara mempunyai lima objektif, iaitu: untuk mencapai perpaduan yang lebih erat di kalangan seluruh masyarakat; memelihara cara hidup demokratik; mencipta satu masyarakat yang adil supaya kemakmuran negara dapat dinikmati bersama secara adil dan saksama; membentuk satu sikap yang liberal terhadap tradisi kebudayaan yang kaya dan berbagai-bagai corak; dan, untuk membina sebuah masyarakat progresif dengan menggunakan sains dan teknologi moden. 2.0 LIMA PRINSIP RUKUN NEGARA 1) KEPERCAYAAN KEPADA TUHAN Prinsip ini menggambarkan bahawa...

...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 it refers to the principles of...

...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...

...Multiracial Societies in Malaysia A society is a body of individuals living as members of a community A multiracial society refers to a society that consists of various groups of races or ethnicities but under one leadership.Malaysia is a multiple races and cultural country. 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. The Chinese and India culture was bring in during early 19 century when they start to trade and doing business between them and Malaya at straits of Malacca. 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. Meanwhile, a small number of Indians...

...Latar Belakang Pembentukan ideology iaitu Rukun Negara Malaysia adalah disebabkan oleh berlakunya peristiwa 13 Mei 1969 iaitu rusuhan kaum. Hal ini demikian kerana pada zaman dahulu, kedatangan British serta dasar-dasar imigrasi liberal ke Malaysia telah mengubahkan gaya hidup masyarakat Malaysia. Demi mengeksploitasi kekayaan semulajadi Malaysia, pihak Inggeris telah menggalakkan kemasukan tenaga buruh yang banyak dari China dan India untuk bekerja di lombong bijih timah dan juga estet dan perbuatan ini telah menyebabkan pertambahan bilangan pelbagai kaum di Malaysia pada masa tersebut. Seterusnya, pihak British berpendapat bahawa pertambahan bilangan pelbagai kaum di Malaysia akan mengugatkan kedudukan pihak Inggeris di Malaysia , maka kerajaan Inggeris telahpun melaksanakan dasar pecah untuk memisahkan ketiga-tiga kaum utama seperti Melayu, Cina serta India dari aspek pekerjaan dan juga tempat tinggal untuk mengelakkan kewujudan perpaduan mereka. Kebanyakkan kaum Melayu akan dipindah ke desa dan hanya terlibat dalam sector pertanian manakala kaum Cina akan tinggal di Bandar dan terlibat dalam perniagaan. Kaum India pula tinggal di dalam estet-estet dan hanya sedikit daripadanya tinggal di dalam Bandar. Selain itu, dari segi pendidikan, ketiga-tiga kumpulan ini tidak akan mendapat sukatan pelajaran atau kurikulum uang sama dan keadaan ini berterusan sehinggalah negara mencapai kemerdekaan pada 31 Ogos 1957. Dasar pecah ini telah berjaya dilaksanakan dan ini membawa kesan...

...First: Trust in God. It does not matter what religion you practise, every religion only preaches good teachings. So Malaysians, should stop fighting about race/ religion and enjoy our good peace and harmony with each another. Do not allow any political party to belittle any race/ religion or to tear our country apart for their silly personal gains (politicians who work for any particular race/ religion should be brought to court for being racist.) Secondly: Supremacy of the Constitution. We should all practise democracy. It doesn’t matter how small or big. We fought really hard for our freedom and independence only to have it taken away by the very own people we elect to represent us. Hence we should all find ways to make Malaysia more democratic. It might be small baby steps, but every little bit eventually adds up just as the recent political tsunami has proven. We the people of Malaysia, should demand for more elections, from kampung heads to state assembly persons, to local councillors. Every single position that could be voted for, should be voted for. Hence the Rakyat would have more say over any issue. We will have our independence once again. Thirdly: Justice/Gloriousness of Law. Laws are there to protect us, the Rakyat. They are not meant to be used at the whim and fancy of our politicians. However, as many Malaysians never want to uphold the laws anyway, it allows the corrupt and unscrupulous politicians to get away with many other bigger sins. We must uphold our...

...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...

...International Review of Business Research Papers Vol.2. No.1 August 2006 pp.1-14 An Evaluation of SME Development in Malaysia Ali Salman Saleh∗ and Nelson Oly Ndubisi∗∗ Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in play a vital role in the Malaysian economy and are considered to be the backbone of industrial development in the country. However, few studies examined their development, challenges and future prospects. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to examine and analyse the role of SMEs in different sectors as well as their major contribution to the economy. The paper goes further to review the existing literature as well as the empirical studies in order to identify the major challenges (domestically and globally) that face this sector. The key messages from the studies examined in this paper are that Malaysian SMEs still face many domestic and global challenges in achieving economies of scale and competing internationally. Among the challenges are the low level of technological capabilities and limited skilled human capital resources, a low level of technology and ICT penetration, low levels of research and development (R&D), a substantial orientation towards domestic markets, a high level of international competition (for example, from China and India), a high level of bureaucracy in government agencies, and internal sourcing of funds. These characteristics suggest that government programs and incentives are either insufficient or not delivered effectively enough to overcome...

...1Malaysia is about Malaysians working together for the betterment of one another in all forms of opportunity and service. Let us take pride in that we have uplifted the betterment of our neighbour, brother and friend. Perhaps then as 1Malaysia we could appreciate the fact that in the grand scheme of things, we are all part of one great humanity. Honestly, I used to perceive One Malaysia as a political slogan until I read this set up of 1 Malaysia Foundation. Diversity of ethnicity, language and culture can never become one. Thus, the key is to understand, and to be understood. Thereby, all citizens can live in harmony with mutual respects. So, what ONE Malaysia could means most to me, is a fair business playing field. With the advancement of today’s network communication, no one can continue to hide in isolation. We should take the leap and start prospering the country with strong entrepreneur’s ability. We should not confine ourselves to think an earning of one is an expense of another. Let’s be competitive and redefine the standards. To me, It should be something above race and religion. Eventually "Freedom" will prevails. Beside that, 1Malaysia is more like a "one nation sharing the same spirit of patriotism". perhaps we should name it as "1Malaysian", then we're talking about unity. 1Malaysia is more like a "one nation sharing the same spirit of patriotism". perhaps we should name it as "1Malaysian", then we're talking about unity.

...raise interest rates for a second time this year. Asian central banks are starting to remove the emergency monetary stimulus implemented to counter the global recession last year as inflation returns with an economic recovery. India has raised interest rates twice since Malaysia increased borrowing costs on March 4, and Singapore said this month it will allow its currency to strengthen. “Policy makers are confident the recovery is on solid footing and clearly want to move rates toward normal levels before prices begin spiraling,” Matthew Circosta, an economist at Moody’s Economy.com in Sydney, said before the report. “Malaysia’s inflation rate remains subdued, but the central bank is expected to continue normalizing the policy rate.” Bank Negara Malaysia raised interest rates for the first time in almost four years last month, saying the country’s recovery was “firmly established.” Southeast Asia’s thirdlargest economy may expand 4.5 percent to 5.5 percent this year, the central bank said in March. That’s more than the government’s October for growth of as much as 3 percent. Policy Meeting The central bank next meets on May 13 to decide on monetary policy. Economists at Citigroup Inc., Morgan Stanley and ING Groep NV are among those predicting Malaysia will raise rates from the current 2.25 percent. Malaysia may increase interest rates further to avert asset bubbles and discourage risky investments, even as inflation will likely remain “modest” this year, central bank Governor Zeti...
