IPOH, June 25 (Bernama) -- The '1Malaysia' concept should be understood by all Malaysians so as not to be misled by the opposition who are only out to twist it around for their own political interests, said Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
He said the concept espoused by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak put the people's interests first so that the nation continued to remain united.
"Through the concept, Malaysians of all races and religions can continue to live in peace and harmony under the Barisan Nasional (BN) umbrella. It will also allow us to seek greater progress for all," he told a people's gathering at the official residence of the Perak Menteri Besar here Thursday night.
He said the Opposition's twisting things regarding the concept was a feeble attempt to sow confusion among the people.
"No one can deny that BN's approach in all these years had put the people's interest foremost," he said.
Muhyiddin also said the 10th Malaysia Plan (2011 to 2105) would place emphasis on issues and problems of the people that had not been resolved yet.
"The interests of the Malays, Chinese, Indians and the various ethnic groups in Sabah and Sarawak will all be given due emphasis. The BN will deliver the goods," he said, adding that bureacratic hurdles standing in the way of achieving the goal would also be tackled resolutely.
Muhyiddin then held a closed-door meeting with the Perak Umno liaison committee before leaving for Kuala Lumpur from the Sultan Azlan Shah Airport here.
