1Malaysia (pronounced One Malaysia in English and Satu Malaysia in Malay) is an ongoing programs designed by Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak on 16 September 2010, calling for the cabinet, government agencies, and civil servants to more strongly emphasis ethnic harmony, national unity, and efficient governance.
There are several programs such as:
1Malaysia Clinic
Malaysians are now able to enjoy medical treatments at just RM1 per visit. The clinics, with over 50 outlets nationwide, are strategically located in various housing areas. There are between three and four such clinics available at each State at the moment.
This initiative provides immediate healthcare to all Malaysians who are in need of basic medical services. With qualified nurses and medical assistants with at least five years of experience, the clinics are able to carry out minor surgeries, stitching, wound cleaning and dressing as well as treating illnesses like cough, flu, fever, diabetes and hypertension. Senior citizens are exempted from any payment.
1Malaysia Youth Fund
The 1Malaysia Youth Fund was launched to provide financial support for young people to undertake creative projects that nurture national unity. RM20 million was allocated for the fund under Malaysia's budget passed in 2010. The fund was proposed by the Barisan Nasional Youth Lab.[
Prime Minister Najib said that 1Malaysia Youth Fund reflected the government's commitment to empowering young people. "The scope and the projects should address three criteria – focus on nurturing unity in Malaysia, have a multiplier effect on the general community, and be led by young people. The objective is to encourage youths to use their imagination to the fullest. We want them to be creative and innovative. Maybe their ability may exceed our expectations and maybe they can do something which has not been thought of by us,” said Najib
1Malaysia Development Berhad
1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) is a strategic development company, wholly owned by the Government of Malaysia.1MDB was established to drive strategic initiatives for long-term economic development for the country by forging global partnerships and promoting foreign direct investment. 1MDB is currently involved several high-profile projects such as the Tun Razak Exchange, Tun Razak Exchange's sister project Bandar Malaysia and the acquisition of three Independent Power Producers.
