For as long as I remember, Malaysia and our politicians have been so fond of coining slogans to encourage the nation. As soon as someone rises to the top job, and regardless of their ability or capacity, they will definitely conjure up a slogan that is supposed to motivate us.

Our erstwhile two-time prime minister came to power with all guns blazing in the early ‘80s and immediately launched the ‘Bersih, Cekap, Amanah’ – ‘Clean, Efficient, Trustworthy’ slogan.

He also had a few more slogans up his sleeves over the years. Similarly, everyone who came after him, created new and fresh catchphrases to excite the citizens.


The latest in the line of inspiring sayings by our leaders is the fizzy and sparkling ‘Keluarga Malaysia’ – ‘Malaysian Family’ moniker. And, of course, it comes with the requisite accompanying logo and theme song. Remember, jingles or ditties are vital to capture the imagination of Malaysians.

At first glance, this slogan is a really important one.
