“Counselors are the key to the Success of 1 Malaysia Concept”.
1 Malaysia concept has been introduced by Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak when he was announced as new Malaysia fifth prime minister on 3rd April 2009. That 1 Malaysia, a slogan meant to promote unity and mutual respect as well as trust among the different ethnic communities in Malaysia. According to him, 1 Malaysia concept to all Malaysians as he hoped it would turn the nation into a highly developed one in terms of race relations. Najib added that if Malaysians could truly understand the concept of 1 Malaysia, they could embrace their differences and regard it as unique instead of a source for problems.
It is argued that counselors are the key to the success of 1Malaysia concept. Perhaps it is true that they can be the key to the successful 1 Malaysia concept because they have learned how to communicate and to counsel the clients from diverse and various cultural backgrounds as well as they also have multicultural competency skills. So, they can apply all such skills in schools which are having multicultural students such as Malays, Chinese, Indian, Orang Asli and so on. Thus, the counselors may implement some programs that can involve by different culture students in order to adapt them with 1 Malaysia concept for example Multicultural Awareness Campaign, Multicultural Students Week, Culture Day and many more. In addition, it is also to ensure that they are gaining knowledge about multicultural school environment and outside communities so that they can understand the worldview of one’s own culturally different without negative judgments.
Besides that, counselors can be considered as the key to the success of 1Malaysia concept because they can play their role in developing and building good rapport among multicultural students. To illustrate, in counseling sessions counselors cannot be biased by choosing clients from the same races or same culture only. This is the time for counselors to help 1 Malaysia concept achieves its objective. For instance, counselors can accept the clients from diverse cultural backgrounds in order to build good rapport with them and try as much as they can to listen to the gist of client’s problem. Therefore, clients will feel comfortable and think that they still have someone can listen and share the problem even though they are from different cultural backgrounds or races.
It is argued that counselors are the key to the success of 1Malaysia concept because they can be as liaisons between school communities and outside societies. To illustrate, counselors can be the bridge to connect good relationship between multicultural school communities and outside multicultural societies such as parents in order to adapt them with the concept of 1 Malaysia as such concept can help to harmonize the different cultural societies as well as to guarantee the peaceful among them.
As a conclusion, it can be denied that counselors can be as important part or key to make sure the success of 1Malaysia concept despite they cannot help hundred percents the successful of such concept. Everyone has own opinion or perception to say whether counselors are the key to the successful of 1 Malaysia concept or not. The most important thing is how people play their role and responsible to help 1 Malaysia concept achieves its objective and can be success in harmonizing multicultural societies among Malays, Chinese, Indians and other races.

“Counsellors are the key to the success of the 1 Malaysia concepts”

1 Malaysia concept proposed by our prime minister, aimed at preserving and enhancing unity in diversity of the Malaysian people towards a common future and better tomorrow based on 3 core principles; Mutual acceptance amongst the races and people in Malaysia, Nationalism based on principles of the Federal constitution and Rukunegara, and Social justice. This actually the strategy which tries to deals with the racial issues in Malaysia. As we already know, Malaysia is a multiracial country and through this campaign all Malaysian should unites and fulfill the ultimate inspiration of 1 Malaysia. Is this concept can be achieved is a big question because it deal and preparing the nation toward positive perception and unity among races. Realizing or not, counsellor can contributed something in preparing nation toward that unification. Here, I’m see the counsellor roles as a one of the key to open the door of success of 1 Malaysia concept.
As we already know, counsellor plays the role as a liaison between students, teachers and society. Because of that, counsellor can encourage teachers and school administration to involve students to joins their friends of different races when it comes to making a project not just in program handled by counsellor, but also in normal classes. It should be a mixture of three races at least in making a group project/presentation. For example, there should be Chinese, Malay and Indian must be mixed together in a group when it comes to making a successful project. In fact, more recognition should be given to those who can work together in at least 3 different multi-race students like issuing of certificates, bonus marks on students testimonials and even making good publicity for these students involved during school assembly.
Besides that, Counsellor is a professional profession. Counsellor are always not lacking in terms of the ideas toward something positive especially preparing nation building. They can contribute and proposed their ideas to the Ministry of Education in making the races unite and it something to do with the school curriculum. For example, it need for teacher spending their time at least 15 minutes before finishing their teaching talking about unity among races in multicultural country like Malaysia. It seems effective since from that, we can actually instil and involve students in the discussion in the class about ways to strengthen integrity among youngsters nowadays as to prevent conflict among students of different ethnics from. Hence, together with their teachers in the class to promote a non-ethnic based society. This method undeniably does provide peace and harmony among the modern society if it has been implemented.
In realizing the objectives of 1 Malaysia concept, something must we do with people “stigma”. It is because, not all are agreeing, accepting and understanding this concept thoroughly. The concept proposed that we must respect each other, go beyond tolerance and build trust among each other and build trust between various ethnic groups. So Counsellor as a change agent can provide their services in dealing with the changing people stigma and those who has the problem with racial issues and worse those who are “reluctant” to move. Surely, counsellors are able to break it the people “stigma” and change person behaviour toward positive. In fact, counselling session would lead and promoting not only intellectual development but also personal and social development such as can cooperate and accepting each other from difference races. By so doing all the perceived obstacles toward unity among races would disappear.
Some may said that, preparing unity among races is not under counsellor profession because counsellor is only deal with the problematic client only and nothing to do with the issues arise round them especially racial issues. But, this claimed are not true since counsellor is deal and preparing person to be a good nation to the development of country. In fact, developing public awareness regarding the cultural issues and unity is part of the counsellor role because image of the counsellor profession itself is to change people behaviour and most important is their perceptions toward positive ways.
In conclusion, our beloved Prime Minister has sparked revolutionary ideas by introducing 1 Malaysia as the basis of excellence and toward unification and eliminates the gap among races for the future successful nation, it most valuable if Malaysian can stand under one roof , continuously works and realise this great mission. Towards mental health, interpersonal relations, social adjustment, career planning, and work adjustment in realizing this mission the professional commitment of the counselor is vital at promoting the fullest development of each individual toward integration. No more racial disputes means peace and harmony is in our hand. Actually, this 1 Malaysia concept is good since it will prepare a nation that is progressive, excellence, glorious and distinguished as approach in 1 Malaysia.

COUNSELORS ARE THE KEY TO THE SUCCESS OF ONE MALAYSIA CONCEPT. DISCUSS.
1 Malaysia concept was originated by our Prime Minister Dato’ Seri Najib Abdul Razak as a new idea to enhance integrity among Malaysian. This new manifestation is based on the saying “1 Malaysia – Rakyat Didahulukan, Prestasi Diutamakan.” It brings the meaning that all Malaysian are all together to stand, to think and to react as One People. In other words, 1 Malaysia concept is promoting integrity among multiracial in Malaysia. However, some people had appointed their argument regarding this issue. They believe that this idea create problem of racist and lock the specialties of Bumiputera in Malaysia. This is not the problem actually. This idea of Prime Minister should be given positive acceptance as if it can create a new encouraging environment in our society, such as the unity and integrity among all citizen, regardless of their race and also makes no differences whether they are Chinese, Indian or any minority group in this country.
As a counselor, one should take part in promoting this new concept as yet it does not required encouraging attention from all parties. The role of counselor in giving information is really useful here in introducing the 1 Malaysia concept. This is where it can develop and get attention from people. A counselor should provide a very proper and exact information about the main core of 1 Malaysia concept, so that citizen would not confuse or make wrong interpretation regarding this issue. As I mentioned earlier, many people get mad because of their wrong perception about 1 Malaysia concept whereby they believe that 1 Malaysia will destroy their specialties as a Bumiputera or majority group in this country. so, as a counselor, one should come forward and provide better understanding and misinterpretation about 1 Malaysia concept will not occur anymore.
It should be reminded that school is an agent for providing education and information. Anything about empowering knowledge and information, and developing self will be based at school. A school counselor plays a vital role as well as teachers and people cannot against or argue about this role of an educators. So, it is definitely true that counselors are the key in promoting and instilling 1 Malaysia concept. It is better to support what the best for our future is. And hopefully, with the enough information about 1 Malaysia concept provided by educators and counselors, there would not be any misunderstanding or misinterpretation about it again.

POSITION PAPER 5.
“Counselors are the key to the success of 1 Malaysia concept.”
Due to the above topic, let get through a little bit about 1 Malaysia concept. 1 Malaysia concept was proposed by the Prime Minister, Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Abdul Razak. The basic principle of this 1 Malaysia concept is “Rakyat didahulukan,Pencapaian diutamakan” can be said as “mesra rakyat” theme. Well, some people may claim that, those who in authority or power can make this concept become reality in other words the government per se. it is because, the government has power to impose budget and come out with certain portfolio or certain agendas that can make the 1 Malaysia concept really happens and the citizens only follow the flow or take part in the program that being focused or planned. In fact, some people also might think that this 1 Malaysia concept has nothing to themselves or even towards their life and do not realize the good impact of this concept towards the unity, peace and harmony in this country. Perhaps for some people they may claim that this 1 Malaysia concept as a polemic in politics propose by the government.
However for me, I got different point of view regarding 1Malaysia concept. For me personally, this concept is not only on the shoulder of the government but it is the responsibility to all citizen including counselors. For me, counselors can take an important role to the success of this 1 Malaysia concept. It is because, counselors plays a vital role in school as the person that really understand the human psychology or counselors are the expert in school. They can use their expertise to come out with a way and solutiuon to make the theme of 1 Malaysia become raelity. Counselors can play their roles as mediator, consultant and as liason to fulfill their job specificallyly and also as a team of 1 Malaysia concept generally.
In fact, the counselors are among the person who have authority to maintain the unity among the multi cultural society because they know best about human psychology and they are the people who are really expert on multi cultural issues. Hence, the counselor needs to take into consideration the needs of the students and school community when handling or come out with the program. The program should fit to the needs of the students as well as the school community.
Besides, counselors have been trained to face with multi-cultural issues that become a root for the 1 Malaysia concept, which is continuing maintaining the unity among the races in Malaysia. In facts, the counselors are abide by the code of ethics and cunducts that reinforced them to maintain good ethical values in dealing with the clients, eventhough multi cultural or multi diversity of the clients. So, the counselors automatically holding the key of the 1 Malaysia concept.
In a conclusion, I would like to stress out that, the concept of 1 Malaysia is very related to the counselors profession due to the above points I have mentioned which are the expertise of the counselors, the programme being handle by the counselors, and the jobs scope of the counselor that dealing with multi cultural society in Malaysia generally.

Counselors as the key to the success of 1 Malaysia concept.
1 Malaysia Concept was introduced by our new fifth Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Abdul Razak on 3rd April 2009 with the slogan “Rakyat didahulukan, pencapaian diutamakan”. The objective of this concept is to unity of all races regardless whether they are Malay, Chinese, Indian, Dayak, Iban, Kadazan and so on.
Although some people may be disagree with that statement but I am strongly agree that Counselors as the key to the success of 1 Malaysia concept. As we know, the role of counselor in school is very important. In my point of view, firstly, what is the thing that counselors can do is to treat clients same regardless of their races whether in individual counseling session or group counseling session. What I mean here is counselor should not be bias when they are doing these sessions. Because of that, all these clients will feel comfortable with the counselor whether they are from different races.
Another thing that counselor can do is to implement programs, seminars or activities that involve students from all races. It is mean that, all these program, seminar or activities should be represent by all these races without racial bias. Besides, counselor has to plan module that is suitable with all races at that school and concern about it for example from the aspect religion, what is permissible or prohibited in their religion. All these are really important because it give rise to unsatisfied feeling among students because their belief was being humiliated. So the result is they will not more involve in the program, seminar and activities that will be organized in school because there are bias. Actually, counselor can make collaboration with the parties like Ministry of Artistry, Cultural and Heritage in order to make program in school that related to culture. From these, there are a lot of advantages that students can get such as they can know better about other culture. It can instill the self-respect to other culture.
In addition, besides being counselor in school, a counselor also as a consultant to the parents, principal, teachers, school staff and society. Counselor should have good relationship with all these parties. As a consultant, counselor should have enough knowledge, skills and so on. Moreover, they should not be bias whether all these parties are different from the counselor races. If the counselor is not so expert in one field so those counselors have to consult with professional in that field. Not only inside of school, counselor also should have the good relationship with the society outside regardless of their races.
In contrast, some people argue that counselor cannot do anything to achieve this 1 Malaysia concept because it is not really easy to achieve unity. We can see what happened to our country on 13 May 1969 about racial fighting. But it is not demoralize us to integrate all races. Besides, they should realize that role of counselor in school is really important because without counselor in school, the situation in school will be chaos. Furthermore, school is the secondary sources after family. Beside that, as we know, students spare most of the times in school so that the influences is very strong.
In conclusion, although each of Prime Ministers has their own concept but actually the aim is same to society and country for unity. This concept will not be achieved at all if all parties do not cooperate, tolerance, fairness, respect among each other and just regard is as slogan by our new Prime Ministers, when one takes power, one must introduce something to become popular.

Counselors are the key to the success of the 1 Malaysia concept.
As we all know the objective of 1 Malaysia concept is to unite all of the races in Malaysia and to avoid misunderstanding among the people. Everybody have their right and dignity that need to be respected. When someone said that counselor are the key to the success of the 1 Malaysia concept, I am fully hearted agreed with them. It is because, counselors can be as a medium to unite all the races such as, Malays, Indian, Chinese and the minority races that live in Malaysia. In this perspective, counselors should move forward and take a steps to contribute something in order to make the objective of the concept that been presented by our Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak successful.
In school, counselor had the authority to consult and give counseling session to the problematic students. This is the time that we need to make the students realize that unity is important among the multiracial people. For example, if the students are being sent to the counseling session because of they involve in bullying or fighting with other different races, counselor should make them change their negative perception and make them know that they are in the same boat. If they make friends with all the races, they can avoid misunderstanding in certain issues. If they unite, more benefit that the school can get and it will also increase its performance in terms of education and sports.
Besides that, counselor tell them that the advantage of mixing with different races like they will learn Mathematics with Chinese students, English with Indians students and Bahasa Melayu with Malays students. Does it worth to get mixing?
Further more, counselors are one of the academician. Their word can be trusted by anybody. With this trust, they will implement a talk to attract people to see that 1 Malaysian is the concept to achieve the successful of our nation. Of course we don’t want the 13 May to happen again. Another example is if the counselors are giving the opportunity to get involve in the politics, I believe that the fighting cases among the politician will decrease by time to time. Nowadays we can see that many of our leader (politicians) always try to get attention by making a statements that can caused the misunderstanding among them. This is not a good example to show to other people especially students. In the television we can see that the different politics parties try to insult others. If the counselor get involve, I believe that they can become the advisor to control this problem.
Another example is the vision school. The implementation of vision school before this is to make the 3 races unite, but it seems doesn’t work because the number of students that register in that school are decrease by years. In this case if the counselor can persuade and make the parents believe that the vision school is the first steps to make our country peaceful, then it will make the counselor’s job more meaningful and it will make the counseling profession more growth and develop. We must remember that, to make 1 Malaysian concept achieve the target, it should started from the school.
On the other hand, some people might say that counselor are only responsible and can contribute something to the school field only. There are not exposed on other fields like politics and economic. It is not true, besides working at the school, they also can work in the government and private sectors, mental health, university, many more. It shows that the impact of the counselor is everywhere. The main aspect that make the counselor are success is when they can make other people listen to their words and make them gain the insight to think and wider their thinking scope.
With all the point, it is firmly stated that counselors are the key to the success of the 1 Malaysia concept.

We must remember that, to make 1 Malaysian concept achieve the target, it should started from the school.
On the other hand, some people might say that counselor are only responsible and can contribute something to the school field only. There are not exposed on other fields like politics and economic. It is not true, besides working at the school, they also can work in the government and private sectors, mental health, university, many more. It shows that the impact of the counselor is everywhere. The main aspect that make the counselor are success is when they can make other people listen to their words and make them gain the insight to think and wider their thinking scope.
With all the point, it is firmly stated that counselors are the key to the success of the 1 Malaysia concept.
position paper 5
COUNSELORS ARE THE KEY TO THE SUCCESS OF THE 1
The 1Malaysia concept, introduced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, was based on the principle of "People First, Performance Now". The government would be prudent in stepping up efforts to balance economic development with social needs to bring about peace and prosperity to the people and that no race or group, including women, the youth, the elderly and the handicapped, was neglected. All parties must take action and responsible to help 1Malaysia concept be successful particularly counselors.
Counselors are born to unite our nation. Counselor must seek out educational, consultative and training experiences to improve the understanding and effectiveness in working with culturally different populations. The major challenge of counseling is to understand the complex role that cultural diversity plays in their work. Cultural sensitivity is not limited to one group but applies to all cultures including Chinese, Indians, Kadazans, Ibans and etc. Counselor can no longer afford to ignore the issues involved in counseling culturally diverse populations. The ACA’s nondiscrimation standard that, counselors do not condone or engage in discriminations based on age, color, culture, disability, ethnic, group, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, mental status and economic status. Therefore, all these showed that counselors have been trained to adapt with other cultural value and not miss up their own value. When counselors are aware of their own values, attitudes, beliefs and behaviors, counselors know how these apply in a diverse society and avoid imposing their values on client. For example, we as Malay counselors have been trained and maintain awareness and sensitivity regarding cultural meanings of confidentiality and privacy towards other culture like China, Indians, Melanau and etc, therefore trustworthy and respect each other exist between students and counselor. Students will realize that other people who are different cultures with them also understand them in terms of sensitivity and values of their culture. Malay know Indians do not eat meat and respect them by do not condemn them with that, and then Chinese respect Malay who do not eat pork and etc.
Counselors just not do the counseling session with the client but counselors also responsible to organize the programs like motivation programs for examination, worldly or even for here after (akhirat) and the important thing now is to unite the nations in our country, 1 Malaysia. 1
In conclusion, counselors are the key to the success of the 1Malaysia concepts. The younger generation must equip itself with knowledge and skills to inherit the invaluable asset of a nation of pride and respect that had been shaped by the government. Therefore counselor is a key or the only one can guide the younger generations to implement all of this concepts. As a counselor, I hoped Malaysians would continue to maintain unity and share their blessings and responsibilities as this was something unique and a source of strength.
