(Interview with CNN, Talkasia, 1 November 2010)
Not onl! y was th is prophesy of 1Malaysia markedly absent from a recent Umno general public though a genuine pushing force of a celebration a single utterly during odds with 1Malaysia emerged from a shadows during a singing of a strain by Tokyo Umno Club deputy Arif Yassir Zulkafli.

It additionally explains because a Umno mind as good as mentality has remained unvaried during a last 66 years of a party's life insecure, envious, delusional, un-accepting of alternative Malaysians, as good as propagating a broke didactic discourse of 'Blood as good as Soil' patriotism akin to which of a Nazis as good as fascists.

Anak Kecil categorical api
Terbakar hatinya yang sepi
Air mata darah bercampur keringat
Bumi dipijak milik orang
Nenek moyang kaya raya
Tergadai seluruh harta benda
Akibat sengketa sesamalah kita
Cinta lenyap di arus zaman ini
Indahnya bumi kita ini
Warisan berkurun lamanya
Hasil mengalir ke tangan yang lain
Pribumi merintih sendiri
Melayukan gagah di nusantara.
The translated chronicle in English reads:
A small kid plays with fire
His barren heart burns
Tears, red red blood as good as sweat (yet)
His land belongs to outsiders
His forefathers had abundance
Now his i! nheritan ce is mortgaged
The outcome of conflict amongst ourselves
Love disappears in a modern tide
How pleasing is a land
Passed down from era to generation
But a increase upsurge to alternative hands
The natives blubber unheeded
Aren't Malays a dauntless in a archipelago

Impact of Lagu Negara
The poisoning of Malay minds by a negative portrayals of non-Malay communities as good as depiction of a Malays as victims whose birthrights have been stolen by "immigrants" is continuing unabated.
For now, it has left a 1Malaysia judgment in ashes.
The risk is which these sentiments contributing to a siege mentality can be so deeply embedded which they become unfit to deal with rationally. When delirious by insane parties, they can simply get out of carry out as good as can be a catalyst for violence.
One writer of a Biro Tatanegara, a promotion arm of Umno in a civil use elimination beliefs is so plainly propagated which a normal revulsion against cruelty towards alternative human beings is alarmingly lacking. (C.T. Wong, ' BTN is hardly an trusting selling toothpaste '! ), as go od as a originator of this signature strain of Malay 'patriots' emotional for a lapse to a Malay motherland giveaway of pendatang, has written that
"[when] a moral codes have been dangling as good as a brand new moral code is substituted.the cry for fortifying one's race or sacrament or nation carries a brand new as good as sinister meaning. The perpetrators of ethnic violence steal a mind as good as a feelings of its own race for their role of gaining or consolidating power. Systematic, conscious as good as deliberate efforts have been being made to create a Enemy in a public space in some of a mainstream media or government-sponsored programmes. The explicit or implicit
To a BTN, you contingency supplement a double-faced Umno mouthing a rhetoric of solidarity as good as inclusion when with non-Malay audiences, as good as fanning a abandon of nonconformist secular emotions when addressing a Malay constituency.
Taking a quarrel to Umno
The line separating good as good as evil as good as law as good as fabrication may appear quarrelsome as good as complicated. However you should not run divided from sketch this line, however formidable is a task.
Minimum proactive actions include vocalization out as good as calling for a dismissal or neutralizing of those institutions as good as people guilty of sowing as good as escalating secular distrust (and religious disharmony), in particular which emanating from a statute circles as good as a bureaucracy, generally from Umno ranks as good as a official imitation as good as electronic media, particularly Utusan Malaysia as good as TV3.
Leaders of a alternative Barisan Nasional member parties who have been silent, unexcited or impotent towards a escalation of a hatred governing body of race as good as sacrament contingency find their voices as good as put vigour upon Umno towards genuine reform. Other key interest players such as PAS as good as Muslim NGOs contingency be some-more act! ive in i nfluencing Islamic elements towards some-more on-going positions which can opposite a governing body of secular envy as good as hatred propagated by Umno.
Failure to respond to 'Lagu Warisan' as good as its supporters will see a country's secular tensions as good as divisions escalate towards a violation point, with a minorities really much upon a defensive as good as a authorities either demure to meddle or to act in favour of a minority.
The rule of law becomes a tyranny of a majority; perpetrators of secular as good as religious hatred as good as discord feel which they can get divided with insane actions aimed during maintaining prevalence or curbing dissent; as good as a country's simple toleration gives way to hardened as good as polarized positions upon all sides, setting a theatre for instability as good as social strife.
