MORE 1MALAYSIA PRODUCTS, SERVICES ON THE WAY - PM

PUTRAJAYA, July 10 (Bernama) -- Najib Tun Razak said more
products and services related to the 1Malaysia concept would be introduced to
the public.

The prime minister said the government had started by introducing the
1Malaysia Clinic and the issuing of international passports within an hour of
application.

He said other products and services in compliant with the 1Malaysia concept
were being identified.

"The 1Malaysia concept is not restricted to unity. It is much more
extensive.

"It is part of the slogan 'People First, Performance Now' which means that
we must relate to 1Malaysia products which cater to the interests of the
people," he told reporters after opening the Putrajaya Flower and Garden
Festival (Floria 2010), here Saturday.


Commenting the development of the 1Malaysia concept, he said the concept and
idea should be understood and appreciated.

"At present, it may seem more ceremonial in nature. After this, we will
enter the phase of introducing products and services related to the 1Malaysia
idea," he said.

At present, 26 Immigration Department branches were issuing international
passports within an hour of application, he said, adding that he had asked the
branches to display posters with the 1Malaysia symbol to denote the one-hour
processing period.

The prime minister's wife, Rosmah Mansor, Tourism Minister Dr Ng Yen Yen
and Deputy Federal Territories and Urban Well-being Minister
M. Saravanan were also present at the event.
