The eight-week meeting of the opening of the 15th Parliament will end with a big bang if the Reports of the Council of Eminent Persons (CEP) and the Institutional Reforms Committee (IRC) are declassified and tabled as White Papers in the last two days of Dewan Rakyat next week.
This is one of the five proposals I had made in January this year to make the meeting of the opening of the 15th Parliament the most memorable Parliamentary meeting in Malaysian history by initiating institutional reforms for Malaysia to achieve the twin goals of uniting the plural society in Malaysia, and to reset and restore Malaysia as a first-rate world-class nation.

I am shocked by the revelation of Jomo Kwame Sundaram, a member of the Council of Eminent Persons (CEP) appointed by the Prime Minister of the Pakatan Harapan government formed after the 14th General Election in 2018, that the CEP never produced a report. A report was prepared by the secretariat under former finance minister Daim Zainuddin but there was no report on the entire CEP.
PAS leaders and MPs will not be able to respond to calls by the Rulers and the Malaysian public to reduce race and religious temperature in the political arena until the PAS President Hadi Awang stop using lies, falsehoods, and fake news to pursue his political interests

The Sultans in various states and the Malaysian general public have asked politicians to reduce race and religious temperatures in political arena but the PAS leaders and Members of Parliament will not be able to respond to these calls by the Rulers and the Malaysian public unless the PAS President, Hadi Awang, stop using lies, falsehoods, and fake news to pursue his political interests.

Hadi should break his silence for two decades as PAS President and declare whether he had supported Vision 2020 and the nine strategic challenges
Posted by Kit in Hadi Awang on Saturday, 25 March 2023
PAS President, Hadi Awang is back to his old tactics, using lies, falsehoods, and fake news in his Facebook postings to defame others he regard as undermining his authority and leadership.
Mahathir’s blaming Abdullah and Najib for the total failure of Vision 2020 has reinforced my argument that Parliament should be extended by another two days to debate why Vision 2020 was a total failure with Malaysia more corrupt, disunited, and polarised along race and religious lines at the end when compared to the beginning of Vision 2020 in 1991
Malaysia was governed by three men in the 30 years between 1991 and 2020 to fulfil the objectives of Vision 2020: Dr. Mahathir Mohamad 1991–September 2003; Abdullah Badawi September 2003–April 2009; and Najib Razak April 2009–May 2018; again Dr. Mahathir Mohamad May 2018–Feb. 2020.

All Malaysians must find out the reasons why Vision 2020 had been a total failure with Malaysia more corrupt, disunited, and polarised along race and religious lines at the end when compared to the beginning of Vision 2020 in 1991

All the nine strategic challenges spelt out by Mahathir when launching Vision 2020 in 1991 were abject failures
