Explain Malaysia Madani concept clearly to the rakyat, Putrajaya told

SHAH ALAM - Government should explain the concept of Madani clearly so that people are aware of the tangible benefits of the newly launched tagline, experts suggest.

Political analyst from Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) Associate Professor Dr Azizuddin Sani said the success of the new concept depends on the rakyat’s acceptance.

“If the rakyat are not keen it would be rejected and it would not go well,,” he told Sinar Daily.

He further said former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak had introduced the 1Malaysia concept to bring in changes in national, political and economic policies and development which was good for the country but it was not efficiently implemented.

Therefore, he urged the government to have a good strategy to explain and implement the Madani concept.

The Madani concept, he said is likely to accepted by all as it is more universal.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had launched the Malaysia Madani tagline recently with six core values - sustainability, prosperity, innovation, respect, trust and compassion.

It replaces the “Keluarga Malaysia” concept under former prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

As for political analyst Dr Oh Ei Sun, he said Anwar should ensure people feel the tangible benefits from his tagline soon.

“The amorphous subjects in his tagline would likely take a long time to materialise," he said, adding that the success of the new Madani concept is yet to be seen.
