The One FInger Salute

Last week, the president of a Sabah BN component party, UPKO’s Bernard Dompok had reportedly said that UMNO has been a hindrance to the 1Malaysia introduced by the prime minister. What concerned him was whether Najib would be allowed by his party to implement the idea. A fair question I would have thought. But Sabah UMNO deputy chief Salleh Said Keruak called Dompok irresponsible to accuse UMNO of going against 1Malaysia (Webpage http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/upko-adamant-that-umno-hindrance-to-1-malaysia/, posted August 18, 2010).

Salleh, it is simple to show support for 1Malaysia. Just get every UMNO member to affirm that he or she is a Malaysian first and a Malay second! If all UMNO members can do this, then Dompok should be severely reprimanded and chastised. After all, if you cannot say it out loud, then how can you even begin to think and do like a Malaysian?

Anyway, don’t care what other people think lah! Even though not every Malaysian supports or even subscribes to 1Malaysia, at least there are four important Malaysians who do! Check out these photos and see how they are all giving us the ‘one finger’ salute! They are not exactly the best role models for 1Malaysia, but what to do?
