Pada 1991 rakyat Malaysia diperkenalkan pula oleh Tun Mahathir Mohamed, Perdana Menteri ketika itu dengan Wawasan 2020 beliau yang berteraskan konsep Bangsa Malaysia, suatu bentuk perpaduan yang dijangkakan akan dicapai pada 2020.
Sehingga 2009, tiada sebarang tanda-tanda jelas di mana perpaduan yang diharapkan itu akan dicapai. Maka diperkenalkan pula konsep 1Malaysia oleh Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak untuk merangsang masyarakat Malaysia ke arah perpaduan.

WHEN an interim research report on anti-corruption initiatives in Malaysia was launched three months ago, it was met with criticism from well-known academics for overlooking the political link to corrupt practices in the country.
One academic expressed regret that the report focused only on legislation and institutions without addressing the root cause of corruption, which he said was the abuse of political power.
But one of the report’s authors has pointed out that their work was meant to study anti-corruption initiatives and not delve into the processes leading to corruption.
Anis Yusal Yusoff, a Principal Research Fellow at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), described the report as the first historical compilation of Malaysia’s fight against corruption and covered initiatives undertaken by the government, private sector and civil society.
“With history at least the misconception that nothing is being done in this country can be corrected,” he told fz.com in a recent interview.

Malaysia bentuk kesederhanaan global, kesepaduan sosial
INSTITUT Kajian Etnik (KITA) Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) dengan kerjasama E-mam Kapitan Sdn Bhd (E-MAM) berusaha menyebarluaskan konsep kesederhanaan atau ‘wasatiyyah’ sejajar penubuhan Pergerakan Kesederhanaan Global (GMM).
Inisiatif itu sejajar usaha kerajaan melaksanakan konsep berkenaan seperti diumumkan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Razak, baru-baru ini.
Pengarah KITA, Prof Ulung Datuk Dr Shamsul Amri Baharuddin, berkata konsep wasatiyyah yang diamalkan di negara ini adalah hadiah Malaysia kepada dunia dalam konteks pengamalan kesederhanaan global.
