The society, the community, the older, the eldest, teachers, doctors, government servant, students and everyone have to play their part. One of the main institution that can nurture the people about the important of this 1 Malaysia concept is obviously school. This is because school is an institution that educate people. So, the people is giving much attention for it. At the very first stage, school student should be expose to this concept. 1 Malaysia can be nurture at school. Teachers and students should aware that this concept is really meaningful.
School administrators should be concern about this matter.

POSITION PAPER 5: COUNSELORS ARE THE KEY TO THE SUCCESS OF THE 1 MALAYSIA CONCEPTS.
1 Malaysia is a system design by government to unite all Malaysian in a different races and culture. Counselor is a person who responsible to help other people who need guidance and have unstable emotion. In Malaysia, counseling services are most implementing in school; where there are focuses on students’ development. Then, the most aspect that being face and solve by school counselor are discipline and education, even multicultural are also included but it is occasionally.
Based on this situation, I would say that I disagree with the topic that ‘Counselors are the key to the success of the 1 Malaysia concepts’. In my opinion all of multicultural problems are come from people mind setting itself where it has been happen long time ago, begin at the colonial century that every race has they own perspective about other races. This means that it has been heritage and very difficult to change. Then, it is very challenging for school counselors because it involves society outside that bring it to school environment. This is true that a counselor role is to prosper all school residents and bring harmonies among teachers, staffs and students. However, this situation will be different outside the school environment because in school the problems occur might be related to education but in outside there are more complicated and focus on individual problem.
Besides that, in school the specification are easy to settle because the small environment and everyone have a same objective likes want to success in their study. While, in the society they are more aware about their self interest, culture and belief and because of these differences they can not achieve their goals. For example, in school when Chinese and Malay students have a problem counselor can instill them that they have to be together because they stay in same school, study together and have to develop their country in their future so they can share idea and change knowledge likes Chinese expert in mathematic while Malay expert in Malay language.
1 Malaysia concept is a long way to go because it involves all Malaysian that actually they have their own perspective about life. Like I said before, they already set their mind about other races and environment influences them such as family where there might be some situation that they experiences before and make it into conclusion of their mind. When we talk about society, it very huge and many aspects have to be considered like sensitivity of every race.
In other hand, people might agree with this topic that counselors are the key to the success of the 1Malaysia concept because counselor is a responsible person who will instill harmonies in school, where a place that every students get knowledge and learn everything about life. Counselor can make so many programs to create peaceful and explain how important to be one Malaysia. Then the society in school will apply it in outside.
However this is along process, the key is all Malaysian; government organization, non-government organization and all society. Even, 1 Malaysia is success in school it will not guarantee success in the society outside because of the different situation and environment. It happens especially where students are more influences to family thought outside the school. The important thing is, counselors role in society are very limited so we have to improve it first then it will help to achieve1 Malaysia concept.

1 Malaysia concept was established by our new Prime Minister Datuk Sri Najib Tun Razak. This concept was received many responses by political leaders and public. Actually, the main core is just a way to bring unity together among all races in Malaysia. As we know, we live in multiracial country which consists of three big races like Malays, Chinese, Indian and many other minorities races. The issue is whether this 1 Malaysia concept will bring unity or does it will ever happen when the cultural, belief, norms and career path differences are big? In this context, counselors especially one of the right people needed in ensure this concept become successful. The topic given was counselors are the key to the success of 1 Malaysia concept was exactly true and make a sense.
I am strongly agreed with the topic given. Why I say that because counselors are the person who receiving adequate training and skill in order to assist the client. Counselors are the best agent because they know everything. They are born and train to deals with many types of problem such as to make this concept become successful not just by name but by doing it. Counselors can implement many programs toward this concept because they have the authority. Counselors working with the changing population and of course they will have a strong multicultural foundation and knowledge of cultural dynamics. The existence of cultural differences is the sources of misunderstanding and dispute between all races in Malaysia. Hence, it is vital for counselors to develop understanding about varieties of culture in order to get effective treatment and result. When counselors have all these, automatically to make this concept become success, the role of counselor should be concern by others. The major aim of 1 Malaysia is to create unity and equality, so when the counselor can bring unity among races, this concept will be achieved sooner or later but all parties must cooperate in each other.
As we know, counselor have many roles to shoulder such as consultant, change agent, advocator and as a liaison between school and communities. This entire role will give positive consequences to Malaysian people because counselor will dealing with all types of people and in the right way, counselor will bring changes. Counselors learn how to develop appropriate techniques in order to fix with client’s culture and level of mentality. Counselors have a better understanding about sociological and psychological characteristics of human being. With other specific word, counselors are the people who have expertise in their field. So, it is make a sense when we say that counselors are the key to the success of 1 Malaysia.
As a conclusion, in order to gain unity among all races in Malaysia each individual must have positive perception toward another’s. That why we need a collaboration between all parties and a guidance from expertise such as counselor to develop a sense of empathy and unity in order to live in meaningful life together. Bears in mind that the important thing here is not who are the key of this concept to be success, but how we unite as Malaysian not as Malays, Indians or Chinese individually.

Recently, the concept of one Malaysia becomes implemented to our country in which the idea was established from our prime minister “Dato Seri Najib Tun Abd. Razak.” In addition, this is becoming as a one idea to unite each races that has in Malaysia in term of Malay, Indian and Chinese. Meanwhile, our prime minister was establishing this concept in order to give an opportunity by providing the equality towards them. Then, what is the real concept of one Malaysia? Actually, this concept is emphasizing on the priority of achievement and citizenship. In the other hand, I am agreeing with the role of counselors in becoming as the key to the success of the one Malaysia concept in which, counselor also be as apart to implement this concept.
Next, in order for counselors to get success towards this concept: they should think something or develop one idea in order to start the equal right between each races and ethnic in Malaysia, by practicing and establishing respectfulness towards each race. For example, counselor should have the respectfulness in dealing with the differences between them and clients that comes from difference races. Then, counselor also should understand the uniqueness of clients’ culture by not focusing on their own.The reason of failure is that, counselors can not having the empathy skill in their self by they can not put their self and feels what are the clients dilemma and problem. It also same like the way to get the successfulness of one Malaysia concept, each race should have the respectfulness on the identity and uniqueness of other races without sacrificed the uniqueness and specialty of their own races. Last but not least, there are certain verses that encourage us as a Muslim to having respectfulness in our self.
Last but not least, counselors it self also should implement the values of one Malaysia that have stated as a principle of one Malaysia in which are knowing and respect the other races, humble, loyalty, acceptance and integrity so that it can becomes as the one reason to strengthen this concept during counseling session and clients it self can opened up their mind and change the attitudes to involves in our country vision. .

1Malaysia is intended to provide a free and open forum to discuss the things that matter deeply to us as a Nation. It provides a chance to express and explore the many perspectives of our fellow citizens. What makes Malaysia unique is the diversity of our peoples. 1Malaysia’s goal is to preserve and enhance this unity in diversity which has always been our strength and remains our best hope for the future.
I agree with the statement of “Counselors are the key to the success of the 1 Malaysia concepts”. It is because counselors are the person who well-known and practiced to know about other cultures other than their own culture. From the culture they can give trust and convinced people that they know about their cultures. People will appreciate someone from other culture know their culture well. From here, counselor can reduce the gaps that occur among the races in Malaysia. As a multicultural country, counselors are the key to maintain the peacefulness of our country.
What counselors can do is to understand properly the meaning of 1 Malaysia concept. He must make others to understand it also so that they can easily design together activities based on 1 Malaysia concept. It is to maintain the good relationship among the society in Malaysia. Before they plan any activity, the most important thing is to set the goals. It is as a guide to the counselors and others.
However, some people cannot accept that counselor is the key success of 1 Malaysia concept because they don’t have trust the counselor. This is challenge that counselors have to face. But as an expertise, counselor knows how to handle this problem even though it has to take long time. What is the most important thing the cooperation among the people who trust the counselor.
For the conclusion, counselors as the key to the success of the 1Malaysia concept, he/she must fully understand the meaning of 1 Malaysia concept. Besides that, he has to work hard to implement what he and others has planned to improve the relationship and reduce the gaps that occur in school and society in Malaysia.

COUNSELORS ARE THE KEY TO THE SUCCESS OF 1 MALAYSIA CONCEPT.
1 Malaysia is coined by our Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Abd Razak. Generally, it is about to unite all the races together into one vision and mission. 1 Malaysia is purposed to have every race cooperate together in every aspect of job or daily life.
However, this kind of program is not easy as written on the paper. For sure it is easy said than done. Eventhough they are look like they are unite, but they will backbiting at the back. This is will not last longer because the grassroot is not strong. They are just hypocrite especially when the cameras are recording them.
As counselor, the role to unite every race is not an easy job because they have been told from their parents form they were small about what the others races are. Some said Malays are lazy, Chinese are selfish and Indians are harsh. Hence, the children have their own interpretation about the other races before they are getting know each other. This situation will continue until school and job environment. If the situation is remain like this, the 1 Malaysia concept will be failed and the role as a counselor brings nothing.
However, as a counselor-to-be in the future, I have see this problem will become more easier if the current school counselors not play their roles. If the counselors see this problem cannot be solved, the students will not unite until they end their school. So, the counselors themselves must have positive thinking towards the potential of students to change.
After I watched a movie last night titled ‘Gadoh’, I feel that I have an idea on how to make the concept of 1 Malaysia become successful. I plan that when I be a counselor in the future, instead of doing counseling session alone, I want to have a theater club in my school which is under counseling program. This theater club will be involved all the races. Through the theater, the student will cooperate especially if they are having theater competition. In this club, they will know each other well and work well in their organization. The hidden objective of this club is like a practical way on how to unite them without they are feel like they have been forced to unite. In the chart organization, the post provided must be filled with different of races so that they can always working together.
Here, the counselors must be a creative person in order to make the program running well. If the program is succeed, it can be considered as the concept of 1 Malaysia also succeed because this program may unite them well.

POSITION PAPER NO.5 by Nor Fazela bt. Che Hasim (0724448)
“Counselors are the key to the success of the 1Malaysia concept”
1 Malaysia? New manner, new concept and new approach. As we know the aim of 1 Malaysia is to promote integration and unity of various communities in the country. The question then to be posed to Malaysian of all races, is 1 Malaysia is right approach to achieving national integration? Whatever the answers come from the people outside, I can say that it is one of the manners to integrate and unite all of races in Malaysia beside the other ways. Apart from that, as a counselor, we should take an opportunity to promote integration among difference races in school through the 1 Malaysia concepts. Hence, counselors are the key to the success of the 1 Malaysia concepts because counselor can draw up many comprehensive programs in school and can be bench marking for the students in order to unite school community.
First and foremost, counselors are the key to the success of the 1 Malaysia concepts because counselor can draw up many comprehensive programs in school. The "One Malaysia" concept can unite the people of various communities in the country in a more just manner. The concept would be implemented in an organized and systematic manner to ensure that no community was isolated from development of any kind. That is why when we are running the program we should implement all activities acceptable by all parties in the most extensive manner possible that can promote integration among the nation comprehensively including school community, parents and society. For instance, we can support the programs that running by government such as Rancangan Integrasi Murid Untuk Perpaduan (RIMUP), Program Latihan Khidmat Negara (PLKN), and Festival Celebration that can be organize at school to mix up with each other and give them information the concept is all about.
Secondly, counselors are the key to the success of the 1 Malaysia concepts because counselor can be bench marking for the students in order to unite school community. Two main principles of 1 Malaysia, which were mutual respect for one another and trust in one another. Our Prime Minister said, "When we have respect for one another, it means we have the open attitude of appreciating the concept of unity in diversity. The trust for one another will not come about all of a sudden. It has to be developed in an organized and determined way”. So, counselor can be bench marking for students to show and practice the good behavior such as respect and trust among teachers and school staff. Counselor can be a role model for students during conduct a counseling session or programs if clients from different races. Besides that, respect and trust others even though they are from minority ethnic because they are also same like us as a Human kind.
On the other hand, some people may claim that the implementation of 1 Malaysia concept is just for political purposes or interest. They said that government tries to provoke people with new concept but after government change their Prime Minister the other new concept will come up without care or continue the old one. For example Vision School that were introduced by Tun Dr. Mahathir to promote racial integration a few years ago but after 7 years being implemented we don’t see any good result. However, the all thing will not happen if Chinese community cooperate and support the Vision School concept. It is because only the Chinese community refused to join Vision School plan as they claimed that such a venture will result in Chinese students losing their culture and identity. We don’t want to blame other races but try to find the best way to integrate and unite the races in Malaysia. So, start from now we should not look at back and try to looking forward to achieve our goals and destiny as 1 Malaysia.
In conclusion, counselors are the key to the success of the 1 Malaysia concepts because counselor can draw up many comprehensive programs in school and can be bench marking for the students in order to unite school community. In addition, the government should continue to engage the parties opposed to concepts such as the 1 Malaysia and convince these parties that such people are not only in the interest of “Malay”, “Chinese” or “Indians”, but as Malaysians. In the long term, and in the interest of the country, it is really need to move beyond the concepts of “Malay”, “Chinese” or “Indian” and set up the single stream concept of “1 Malaysian” which will at the same time protect and celebrate the cultural diversity of Malaysians ethnic groups.
