1malaysia Concept: Its Effectiveness to Ipt Students

Abstract

This research discusses the effectiveness of the 1Malaysia Concept among university students. It analises whether the 1 Malaysia concept gave any effects on the values of unity among these students. This study employed a qualitative methodology that used questionnaires. Results showed that the majority of the students have been impacted by the 1Malaysia concept. However, some of the respondents stated that they were not impacted by this concept in their daily lives as students. Thus, efforts must be taken to enhance the values of national unity among university students. Efforts must start at the at-home and pre-school levels. It was also recommended that reforms must take place in the university education system through all programs to give exposure towards a more open and inclusive community which then will inculcate national unity.
