An official logo and slogan have been introduced alongside the launch of the 1Malaysia concept.

According to the Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, the government spent RM38 million (approximately US$8 million) to promote the concept in 2010.{{cite web|author=Joseph Sipalan |url=http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/160590 |title=Murugiah: RM38mil spent on 1Malaysia |date=4 April 2011 |publisher=Malaysiakini |access-date=12 January 2012}}

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.{{cite web |date=4 May 2009 |title=People's Satisfaction a KPI Benchmark - Najib |url=http://www.pmo.gov.my/?menu=newslist&news_id=58&page=1731&news_cat=13 |access-date=31 January 2013 |work=Press Release, Prime Minister's Office |publisher=Pmo.gov.my}}

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.{{Cite web|url=http://www.psnews.com.au/worldpsn1852.html|title=KPIs to measure PS performance, PSnews}}

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.{{cite web|url=http://my-1.themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/malaysia/36173-najib-makes-idris-jala-minister-to-run-kpis-unit- |title=Najib makes Idris Jala minister to run KPIs unit, The Malaysian Insider |publisher=My-1.themalaysianinsider.com |access-date=12 January 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100409131414/http://my-1.themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/malaysia/36173-najib-makes-idris-jala-minister-to-run-kpis-unit- |archive-date=9 April 2010 }}

Anwar claimed to have documents linking One Israel and the public relations firm APCO Worldwide (APCO) to the 1Malaysia initiative, but he refused to provide access to these documents when challenged.{{cite web |url=http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2010/3/30/nation/20100330150110&sec=nation |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100402222745/http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=%2F2010%2F3%2F30%2Fnation%2F20100330150110&sec=nation |url-status=dead |archive-date=2 April 2010 |title=Parliament: Anwar claims Apco was in M'sia before 1Malaysia concept was announced, The Star, 30 March 2010 |publisher=Thestar.com.my |access-date=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. Potential punishments included expulsion from Parliament.{{cite web|last=Ahmad |first=Razak |url=http://in.reuters.com/article/idINIndia-47905320100422 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160125063053/http://in.reuters.com/article/idINIndia-47905320100422 |url-status=dead |archive-date=25 January 2016 |title=Malaysia parliament votes to censure Anwar, Reuters, 22 Apr 2010 |publisher=In.reuters.com |date=22 April 2010 |access-date=12 January 2012}}{{Cite web|url=http://malaysianmirror.com/homedetail/6-national/35393-anwar-produces-apco-documents-|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305001024/http://malaysianmirror.com/homedetail/6-national/35393-anwar-produces-apco-documents-|url-status=dead|archive-date=2016-03-05|title=Malaysianmirror.com}}{{cite web|author=Hazlan Zakaria & S Pathmawathy |url=http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/127864 |title=Anwar produces documents on APCO-Israel-1M'sia link, Malaysiakini |date=30 March 2010 |publisher=Malaysiakini.com |access-date=12 January 2012}} In response, Anwar produced two documents to support his claims and counter the government's denials.

Anwar was subsequently suspended from Parliament by the Parliamentary Rights and Privileges Committee, based solely on a letter from APCO, without the opportunity to defend himself against the allegations.{{cite web|url=http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2010/11/25/parliament/7496300&sec=parliament |title=Suspension likely for Anwar, TheStar |publisher=Thestar.com.my |access-date=12 January 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110629045233/http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=%2F2010%2F11%2F25%2Fparliament%2F7496300&sec=parliament |archive-date=29 June 2011 }}{{Cite web|url=http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/fmt-english/politics/pakatan-rakyat/13707-apco-row-anwar-may-be-suspended-with-no-defence|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101206030945/http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/fmt-english/politics/pakatan-rakyat/13707-apco-row-anwar-may-be-suspended-with-no-defence|url-status=dead|title=Apco row: Anwar may be suspended with no defence, Free Malaysia Today|archive-date=6 December 2010}}{{cite web|url=https://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5hyf5Ru6evlxKbG-HZYAcxxEWgvDQ?docId=CNG.3023d7fcdeb5553eb95b62891d9d84d2.301 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101208114955/http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5hyf5Ru6evlxKbG-HZYAcxxEWgvDQ?docId=CNG.3023d7fcdeb5553eb95b62891d9d84d2.301 |url-status=dead |archive-date=8 December 2010 |title=Malaysia's Anwar says likely to be suspended from parliament, AFP |date=3 December 2010 |access-date=12 January 2012}} This decision led to a walkout by opposition MPs.{{cite web |last=Chooi |first=Clara |title=Parliament walkout as Anwar's likely suspension over APCO draws closer |url=http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/parliament-walkout-as-anwars-likely-suspension-over-apco-draws-closer/ |website=The Malaysian Insider |date=8 December 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101210233351/http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/parliament-walkout-as-anwars-likely-suspension-over-apco-draws-closer/ |archive-date=10 December 2010}}{{cite web |last=Yusop |first=Husna |url=http://www.thesundaily.com/article.cfm?id=54888 |title=Opposition MPs walk out over Apco case |website=Thesundaily.com |date=8 December 2010 |access-date=12 January 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120318164247/http://www.thesundaily.my/ |archive-date=18 March 2012}} [https://azminali.com/opposition-mps-walk-out-over-apco-case/ Alt URL] On 16 December 2010, Anwar and three opposition MPs—Karpal Singh, Azmin Ali, and Sivarasa Rasiah—were suspended from Parliament.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-pacific-12006491|title=Malaysia MPs suspend Anwar Ibrahim over Israel comment|date=16 December 2010|website=BBC|publisher=Bernama.com|access-date=8 July 2018}}{{Cite web |last= El Sen |first= Teoh |title= Umno and Apco must explain, says Anwar |url=http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/fmt-english/politics/pakatan-rakyat/14332-umno-and-apco-must-explain-says-anwar |date= 17 December 2010 |website= Free Malaysia Today |access-date= 8 July 2018 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20140105074913/http://archive.freemalaysiatoday.com/fmt-english/politics/pakatan-rakyat/14332-umno-and-apco-must-explain-says-anwar |archive-date= 5 January 2014}} Anwar has since blamed APCO Worldwide for the suspension of himself and the other opposition parliamentarians.

{{Main|1Malaysia Development Berhad scandal|Timeline of the 1Malaysia Development Berhad 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 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 general election, the 1Malaysia slogan and the "Salam 1Malaysia" greeting were gradually phased out by the new administration.{{Cite web |last=TTN |date=2018-05-16 |title=No More 1Malaysia Slogans and Greetings |url=https://www.thetruenet.com/news/no-more-1malaysia-slogans-and-greetings/ |access-date=2023-04-15 |website=The True Net |language=en-US}} They were eventually replaced by Sayangi Malaysiaku, a slogan introduced by Mahathir Mohamad, who succeeded Najib after winning the 2018 election.
