One can argue how political 1Malaysia is. Was it introduced by the current BN government? Yes it was. Does that automatically make it a political slogan? No, it doesn't.
In the same way 'Malaysia Truly Asia' would be a political slogan cause it has been developed by the BN government. But I don't think anyone would go that far.
Has 1Malaysia been promoted by the BN component parties? Yes. Mainly because it was immediately shot down by the opposition the moment it got introduced.
That is the problem with this country. The merit of an idea, slogan or activity is not important anymore. The moment one side introduces anything, the other side automatically burns it down, demonizes it and rejects it. Even US democrats and republicans cooperate more than the politicians in Malaysia. And who will be the ultimate victims of all this bickering? The Rakyat.
Banning 1Malaysia, political slogan or not, is just another petty move by one side towards the other and should just be seen like that. Nothing more and nothing less
