KUALA LUMPUR, June 1 — Datuk Seri Najib Razak said today the Barisan Nasional (BN) government is aware of cracks in national unity and that some people feel marginalised and it is committed in addressing the challenges.

The prime minister said the situation occurred due to a national polemic based on beliefs, race, political ideologies, urban and rural demographic and class.

He and his colleagues in the government recognise they carry the trust and responsibility of all Malaysians, whether they support BN or not in the 13th general election (GE13) which saw BN return to form the federal government.

“Your Majesty’s government is the umbrella for all Malaysians,” he said in his congratulatory speech before Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah to mark his birthday and presentation of federal awards and medals at Istana Negara here.

The government, said the prime minister, will formulate a plan to strengthen national unity and repair national understanding and this requires the co-operation of all parties.
