I call on the voters of Balakong to come out in full force to vote in the Balakong by-election on Sept. 8 in the spirit of May 9, 2018 to build a New Malaysia to defeat the UMNO conspiracy to plot for the collapse of the Pakatan Harapan Federal Government in two years or at least before the 15th General Election.

Malaysians want to end the corruption, abuses of power and injustices of UMNO/BN in the past few decades and build a New Malaysia, but this is not something which can be achieved overnight or in 100 days.

It is a challenge and task which will take years, and Pakatan Harapan does not want to rule for only one term but want to win the 15th and 16th General Elections to complete the building of a New Malaysia where the country can fulfill the dream and hopes of Bapa Malaysia, Tunku Abdul Rahman, to be “beacon of light in a difficult and distracted world”.

It is an open secret that the Opposition, led by UMNO and with the support of other opposition parties, are plotting for the Pakatan Harapan Federal Government to collapse and disintegrate to allow them to return to the corridors of power in Putrajaya.

Although the outcome of the Balakong State Assembly by-election cannot change the outcome of the government of the Selangor State, it must be used as an opportunity to let the Opposition led by UMNO know that their conspiracy to bring down the Pakatan Harapan government in Putrajaya before the next general election will not find support from the people of Malaysia.

The Balakong by-election was caused by the unfortunate and untimely death of Eddie Ng Tien Chee as a result of an accident.

I call on on the voters of Balakong to come out in full force on Sept. 8 to cast their vote as a mark of respect to give a great send-off to Eddie Ng, so that it will set an example of people’s appreciation for an exemplary elected representative.

But there is another meaning of the vote in the by-election, as support for the DAP/Pakatan Harapan canddiate for Balakong, Wong Siew Ki, who will continue Eddie Ng’s great service as the State Assembly representative for Balakong in the coming years.
