And if a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. (Mark 3:24-25)
On 16 September 2008, Prime Minister Najib Razak launch the 1Malaysia campaign under the slogan, ‘1Malaysia, People First, Performance Now’. It was meant to foster unity among the different communities for nationbuilding. Every Malaysian should see themselves as Malaysian made up of difference ethnic groups and religion. However, with the recent rhetoric of irresponsible politicking, racist extremism and religious bigotry, serious questions have been raised about the Prime Minister’s sincerity and commitment to the 1Malaysia concept and his political will to promote it. Some claimed that it is merely a political tool to garner votes and not an honest
commitment for change.
Prayer Points:
- The Prime Minister to be fully committed to implementing the 1 Malaysia concept as against mere slogan
- Racial and religious supremacy to be dismantled
- Irresponsible politicking to be reprimanded
- National unity and harmony among the various communities.
- Perception as “fixed deposit” states by Federal Government to be corrected
- Given equal economic, educational and infrastructure development as in West Malaysia
- More interaction, understanding and cooperation between the east and west
- Past constitutional agreements to be preserved and respected.
- Recognition and restoration of lands belonging to the natives
Prayer Shield - for our elders, pastors and leaders
Leaders’ personal life: Have spiritual mentors
