Biro Tatanegara to organise 1 Malaysia courses

KUCHING, June 4 — Biro Tatanegara (National Civics Bureau) is set to organise courses and seminars to explain 1Malaysia for the people to better understand the concept introduced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Ahmad Maslan said the courses and seminars on 1Malaysia, with its slogan of “People First; Performance Now”, would be held at the “Bina Negara” (nation-building) camps nationwide.

“It cannot be denied that many people are still confused about the 1Malaysia concept,” he told reporters after visiting the National Civics Bureau office, here.

Ahmad, who is also Umno information chief, said the courses and seminars were expected to begin this year and employees of the public and private sectors were the main target groups.

He also said that a nation-building camp costing RM23 million in Sempadai, Lundu, near here, was expected to be completed in December. — Bernama
