Maybe not in the context of Najib's speech, but remember what Khoo Kay Kim said during PAN IV last year? Bangsa doesn't always mean race as in bangsa Melayu or bangsa Cina or bangsa India like everyone thought, it can also be taken as a nation. Such as in the United Nations, translated into Pertubuhan Bangsa-bangsa Bersatu. The first challenge of Wawasan 2020 was "Membina satu bangsa Malaysia yang bersatu" (something like that) and it is widely translated as "a Malaysian nation". Don't get me wrong though. I'm all for colour blind.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character - Martin Luther King, Jr
