PAP Vs Malaysian National Principles = Cerai Talak 3

The Rukunegara or sometimes Rukun Negara (Malay for "National Principles") is the Malaysian declaration of national philosophy instituted by royal proclamation on Merdeka Day, 1970, in reaction to a serious race riot known as the May 13 Incident which occurred in 1969. The incident proved at that time that Malaysian racial balance and stability was fragile at best. Immediately thereafter, the Malaysian government sought ways to foster unity among Malaysians. One of the methods used to encourage unity is the Rukunegara. The Rukunegara was inspired in part by the Indonesian Pancasila, and like the Pancasila, is based on five guiding principles.

The word Rukunegara can refer to the whole declaration, the words after the preamble (beginning Maka kami...) or the five principles alone.

SINGAPORE: Malaysia did not "overwelcome" Singapore's Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew during his eight-day visit to the country earlier this month, said the country's Prime Minister, Najib Razak. The Malaysian premier was reported by the country's official news agency Bernama on Monday as saying that Mr Lee was not accorded more than what he deserved. Speaking to the media after opening the 7th Heads of Mission Conference at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre, Mr Najib also said he did not think Minister Mentor Lee wanted to interfere in Malaysia's internal affairs when he made some comments during his visit. The Malaysian premier described Mr Lee's visit as a fact-finding tour of the situation in Malaysia and Malaysia allowed it. Mr Najib said most importantly, Mr Lee wanted to see Malaysia succeed and remain stable. "How he does it, is a style of the man and I think we have to recognise every person as being different," said Mr Najib. During his week-long visit to Malaysia last week, Minister Mentor Lee had an audience with Malaysia's Agong Mizan Zainal Abidin and Sultan Azlan Shah of Perak. He also held talks with Mr Najib and Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin. Besides Kuala Lumpur, Mr Lee also visited Negeri Sembilan, Perak, Penang, Kelantan and Pahang. - CNA/ir
