This is my fifth programme in my three-day “Jelajah Raya di Pantai Timur” to Pahang, Terengganu and Kelantan.
As I said in my fourth programme during Parti AMANAH’s Hari Raya Aidilfitri National Open House at the Kelantan Chinese Chamber of Commerce Hall in Kota Bharu this morning, the wind of political change is blowing strongly in the country, including Kelantan.
By the time of the Hari Raya Aidilfitri next year, political change would have created a new political landscape in the country as the 14th General Election would have been held by then.
I hope that by the time of the Hari Raya Aidilfitri next year there would not only be a new Federal Government and new Prime Minister in Putrajaya, but also a new Kelantan State Government and a new Kelantan Mentri Besar.
I hope that Datuk Husam Musa will be the new Kelantan Mentri Besar in the Hari Raya Aidilfitri next year, and I will return to Kota Bharu next year to attend the new Pakatan Harapan Kelantan state government Hari Raya Aidilfitri Open House!
The former Kelantan Mentri Besar Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat, although he was PAS Mursidul Am, was the role model of Malaysians who were not members of PAS. If Husam is elected as the new Kelantan Mentri Besar after the 14th General Election, he will become a new role model not only for Kelantanese but Malaysians in other states as well.
Malaysians are in critical need of role models.
It is unthinkable that the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak, who have caused Malaysia international infamy and ingnominy by being regarded worldwide as a global kleptocracy, could be a suitable role model for the 30 million Malaysians.
I cannot understand how Najib could be a role model for the PAS President, Datuk Seri Hadi Awang, to the extent that he has issued an Open Letter to Political Parties on the eve of Hari Raya Aidilfitri as good as asking all political leaders in the country to stop demanding accountability from the Prime Minister for the trio of 1MDB, US Department of Justice (DOJ) kleptocratic suits and global kleptocracy scandals.
