Sesusah mana sekalipun cabarannya, agenda Malaysia Baharu Pakatan Harapan adalah satu-satunya cara untuk menebus maruah, membina dan membangunkan potensi Malaysia sepenuhnya
Persoalan utama yang berlegar-legar dalam fikiran rakyat Malaysia sepanjang tiga hari yang lepas sudah tentunya berkisar tentang soal sama ada negara ini akan kembali terjunam ke kancah kerosakan di mana mandat rakyat boleh dirampas begitu sahaja dan diseleweng untuk memberi ruang kepada penubuhan satu kerajaan pintu belakang yang akan mengembalikan negara kita ke arah sebuah negara kleptokratik yang gagal, malahan lebih teruk lagi, sebuah kakistokrasi di mana anasir-anasir yang paling teruk, paling tidak berkelayakan, dan paling tidak berprinsip memegang jawatan tertinggi negara.
Sesusah mana sekalipun cabarannya, agenda Malaysia Baharu Pakatan Harapan adalah satu-satunya cara untuk menebus maruah, membina dan membangunkan potensi Malaysia sepenuhnya.
Seperti yang telah dinyatakan di dalam Manifesto Pilihan Raya Umum ke-14 Pakatan Harapan, sejak perisytiharan kemerdekaan oleh Bapa Kemerdekaan Tunku Abdul Rahman pada 31 Ogos 1957, “negara kita telah terbina sebagai sebuah negara yang bertuah kerana memiliki rakyat yang majmuk iaitu pelbagai kaum dan pelbagai agama”.
Manifesto tersebut menyambung lagi:
“Atas kesedaran itulah, maka Almarhum Tunku mengisytiharkan dalam Pemasyhuran Kemerdekaan bahawa negara kita ini “akan kekal menjadi sebuah negara yang merdeka dan berdaulat serta berdasarkan kebebasan dan keadilan dan sentiasa menjaga dan mengutamakan kesejahteraan dan kesentosaan rakyatnya dan mengekalkan keamanan antara segala bangsa.”
“Dengan berteraskan semangat ingin menjamin kebebasan, keadilan, kesejahteraan, kesentosaan dan keamanan itulah, negara kita telah ditadbir oleh para pemimpin terdahulu yang sentiasa meletakkan kepentingan negara di hadapan.
“Sejak era perjuangan kemerdekaan oleh para ulama, golongan nasionalis dan seterusnya diteruskan oleh pentadbiran Almarhum Tunku Abdul Rahman, Tun Abdul Razak, Tun Hussein Onn dan sehinggalah era Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, wawasan negara ini adalah untuk menjadi sebuah negara maju, merdeka dan dihormati di persada dunia.
“Kini, tatkala negara sedang dilanda krisis rasuah dan kleptokrasi yang hebat, sehingga kita terkenal di seluruh dunia sebagai sebuah negara yang penuh dengan skandal, Pakatan Harapan tampil menawarkan diri untuk menyelamatkan negara dan mengembalikan Malaysia ke landasan yang seharusnya.
“Pakatan Harapan bertekad untuk mengembalikan kegemilangan tanah air kita, iaitu seperti yang diimpikan oleh rakyat seluruhnya.
“Pakatan Harapan bertekad untuk menebus semula maruah rakyat Malaysia yang telah digadai oleh UMNO dan Barisan Nasional.”
Kita semua perlu kekal komited bersama dengan ikrar Pakatan Harapan untuk memenuhi agenda pembinaan semula negara ke arah sebuah Malaysia yang berlandaskan prinsip-prinsip penubuhan seperti yang termaktub dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan yang berteraskan perpaduan, keadilan, kebebasan, kecemerlangan, dan integriti, di mana pemisahan kuasa, kedaulatan undang-undang, integriti awam, dan hak asasi manusia dihormati, sebuah Malaysia yang inklusif, moderat, dan dihormati di persada dunia.

================================
The question uppermost in the minds of Malaysians in the past three days is whether Malaysia will regain new infamy, ignominy and iniquity as a democracy where the people’s mandate could be hijacked and perverted by a back-door government to allow a reversion to the trajectory of a failed, rogue and kleptocratic state and worse, become a kakistocracy where the worst elements who practice dishonesty, perfidy and corruption occupy high positions in government.
However hard, uphill and even daunting the road, the only way for Malaysia to reclaim the nation’s honour, rebuild and fulfil its potentials is the Pakatan Harapan agenda for a New Malaysia.
As stated by the Pakatan Harapan 14th General Election manifesto, since Bapa Malaysia Tunku Abdul Rahman proclaimed “Merdeka” on 31st August 1957, “our nation has been very lucky to have a multi-racial and multi-religious population who co-existed and live in peace and prosperity”.
The Manifesto continued:
“It is with that realisation that the late Tunku read out the Proclamation of Independence that said this nation ‘shall be forever a sovereign democratic and independent State founded upon the principles of liberty and justice and ever seeking the welfare and happiness of its people and the maintenance of a just peace among all nations.’
”Guided by the desire to ensure liberty, justice, harmony, and peace, our country has been administered by a succession of leaders who had always put the country first.
“Since the time when we were fighting for our independence led by the religious scholars, the nationalists, and then continued by the administrations of AlMarhum Tunku Abdul Rahman, Tun Abdul Razak, Tun Hussein Onn, and Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, the vision of this country has always been to become a developed, independent and respected nation.
“Now, at a time when our country is facing with a corruption, malfeasance and kleptocratic crisis like never before, Pakatan Harapan is stepping forward to offer ourselves to save this country and return it to the correct path.
“Pakatan Harapan is determined to bring back the glory that we once enjoyed.
Pakatan Harapan is determined to reclaim the pride of all Malaysians that has been sold and bartered away by UMNO and Barisan Nasional.”
We must remain true to this pledge to fulfil the Pakatan Harapan agenda to reset nation-building policies for Malaysia to return to the founding principles of the Malaysian constitution to ensure unity, justice, freedom, excellence and integrity in Malaysia where there is the separation of powers, the rule of law, public integrity and respect for human rights, a Malaysia that is inclusive, moderate and respected globally.

I still say Mahathir played everyone. There is literally no reason why Muhiyiddin would pull out Bersatu if he did not know that its what Mahathir wanted. He always knew if Mahathir wanted something else, he would do the backtracking..
Enough of these dysfunctional Malay politics. If political leaders want to indulge in infantile tantrums and games, then stay home to suckle their mother’s breast. The problems of the country is deadly serious and there is only one real path forward. This country must be decided by the combination of PH and Sarawak Sabahan wishes – UMNO-PAS have lost all legitimacy of their grouses and ideology. Their politics is toxic and infantile. The adults must take over firmly and clearly to drive the nation forward.

nonsense by the GPS and other running dog politicians from Sarawak. If they really cared about Sarawak, nominate some one from Sarawak as the Prime Minister. Else their words meant nothing. They merely cared about their own benefit.

FINALLY SOME REAL BACKBONE to push Anwar forward. Anwar is flawed, we all know that, but he would be just as dumb as the rest of old order if he think he can indulge in his weakness that the People reject from ALL their political leaders. Anwar deserve his shot. If he fails, he is gone.
The old order should just quit and go back feeding on the mother’s tits and let the adults do the work.

Well, well, well.
Look how easy it is for one person or one group to usurp the elected government of the day?
And can continue to impose autocratic and then dictatorial powers on the “leader”?
So easy that even a former bus driver in Venezuela can do it!!!

What Mahathir going to do? He will form unity govt with both PH and the other rest of them but it will not be workable no matter what non PH says – in reality they want their cake and eat it too. Unity govt is chaos until when?
