After the 2018 Malaysian general election, in which the Barisan National government was defeated by Pakatan Harapan in the 2018 Malaysian general election, Najib Razak was removed from office. The concept was abolished and replaced with Sayangi Malaysiaku, a concept created by Mahathir Mohamad, alongside other significant changes made by his government during his premiership.

Introduction of KPIs
The 1Malaysia initiative introduced the use of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and National Key Result Areas (NKRAs) to improve government efficiency. KPIs were used to evaluate ministries and government agencies, with performance reviews conducted every six months. Each ministry was required to establish specific KPIs, focusing on policy outcomes rather than traditional input-based assessments.4 May 2009 People's Satisfaction a KPI Benchmark - Najib http://www.pmo.gov.my/?menu=newslist&news_id=58&page=1731&news_cat=13 31 January 2013 Press Release, Prime Minister's Office Pmo.gov.my 30 September 2018 https://web.archive.org/web/20180930081540/http://www.pmo.gov.my/?menu=newslist&news_id=58&page=1731&news_cat=13 dead
The NKRAs focused on six policy areas: crime prevention, reducing government corruption, increasing access to quality education, improving the standard of living for low-income groups, upgrading rural infrastructure, and enhancing public transportation.http://www.psnews.com.au/worldpsn1852.html KPIs to measure PS performance, PSnewsAugust 2026 InternetArchiveBot
To support the implementation of the KPI system, a new cabinet position was created. Idris Jala, the former CEO of Malaysia Airlines, was appointed Minister Without a Portfolio and CEO of the Performance Management and Delivery Unit (PEMANDU). He worked alongside Koh Tsu Koon, the minister in charge of National Unity and Performance Management, to train over 500 government officers in the KPI system.http://my-1.themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/malaysia/36173-najib-makes-idris-jala-minister-to-run-kpis-unit- Najib makes Idris Jala minister to run KPIs unit, The Malaysian Insider My-1.themalaysianinsider.com 12 January 2012 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20100409131414/http://my-1.themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/malaysia/36173-najib-makes-idris-jala-minister-to-run-kpis-unit- 9 April 2010

A year after the introduction of the 1Malaysia concept, former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, who also served as Najib Razak’s mentor, reportedly stated that he "still doesn't understand" the concept. Mingguan Malaysia. 2 August 2009 In July 2010, an opinion poll highlighted public scepticism about the initiative. According to The Malaysian Insider, the survey revealed that the non-Malay respondents were "almost split" on the Najib administration's national unity agenda. The poll found that 46% of respondents believed the 1Malaysia concept was a political strategy to win non-Malay votes, while only 39% felt it was a sincere effort to promote unity among all races in Malaysia.Poll Shows Divided Malays https://web.archive.org/web/20100915132451/http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/poll-shows-divided-malays/ 15 September 2010 The Malaysian Insider. 9 July 2010

Criticism of undermining Malay rights
Najib's efforts to liberalise government policies and create a more inclusive approach to all races with 1Malaysia led the Malay rights group Perkasa to seek further clarification on the policy.

Anwar Ibrahim's suspension from parliament
Anwar Ibrahim#Parliamentary censure over APCO and 1Malaysia
On 22 April 2010, Anwar Ibrahim, the leader of Malaysia's opposition, was condemned by the Parliament of Malaysia for remarks he made during a press conference in the parliament on 30 March 2010. Anwar claimed to have documents linking One Israel and the public relations firm APCO Worldwide to the 1Malaysia initiative, but he refused to provide access to these documents when challenged.http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2010/3/30/nation/20100330150110&sec=nation https://web.archive.org/web/20100402222745/http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=%2F2010%2F3%2F30%2Fnation%2F20100330150110&sec=nation dead 2 April 2010 Parliament: Anwar claims Apco was in M'sia before 1Malaysia concept was announced, The Star, 30 March 2010 Thestar.com.my 12 January 2012
As it is against Malaysia's foreign policy to have dealings with Israel, the appointment of APCO garnered a significant criticism from the majority Muslim population, who demanded that Prime Minister Najib Razak terminate the contract with the company. Both the Malaysian government and APCO strongly denied Anwar's allegations. The censure motion passed by the House of Representatives referred Anwar's case to the Rights and Privileges Committee, which was tasked with recommending punishment for approval by the full chamber.

1MDB scandal and downfall
1MDB scandal Timeline of the 1MDB scandal
Since the revelation of the 1MDB scandal in 2015, the slogan 1Malaysia adopted a negative connotation in relation to Najibs Razak's administration. The scandal involved allegations of massive embezzlement and corruption, with billions of dollars missing from a state investment fund. Investigations into the scandal were launched in multiple countries, including the United States, Switzerland, and Singapore. The 1MDB scandal had a profound impact on Malaysia's political and economic landscape, eroding public trust in the government and becoming a focal point for political opposition.
Following the defeat of the Barisan Nasional in the 2018 Malaysian general election, the 1Malaysia slogan and the "Salam 1Malaysia" greeting were gradually phased out by the new administration.TTN 2018-05-16 No More 1Malaysia Slogans and Greetings https://www.thetruenet.com/news/no-more-1malaysia-slogans-and-greetings/ 2023-04-15 The True Net en-US They were eventually replaced by ms Sayangi Malaysiaku, a slogan introduced by Mahathir Mohamad, who succeeded Najib after winning the 2018 election.
