It’s make-or-break time for Malaysia, the most critical period for the country in the last six decades as to whether Malaysia can reset and return to the original nation-building principles to become a first-rate world-class nation, or we are fated to become a divided, failed, and kleptocratic state

We are now in the most critical make-or-break period of the country in the last six decades as to whether Malaysia can reset and return to the original nation-building principles to become a first-rate world-class nation, or we are fated to become a divided, failed, and kleptocratic state.

Recently, I came across a 54-year-old Official Secrets Act (OSA) document, which was declassified on 24th February 2020 as a result of a defamation suit I instituted against the former Inspector-General of Police, Tun Hanif Omar, that stated that in my statement to the police during my first Internal Security Act detention in 1969, I told the Police that I wanted a “clean, honest, efficient, incorruptible, and effective government”.

Malaysia can, in Tunku’s words, be “a beacon of light in a difficult and distracted world” by being an example of how four great civilisations can build understanding, tolerance, and peace and avoid War of Races or War of Religions

I am now more confident that the Anwar unity government can last five years to carry out institutional reforms in the country to reset Malaysia to become once again a first-rate world-class nation

(Versi BM)

After the first 100 days of the Anwar unity government, I am now more confident that the Anwar Ibrahim can last five years as the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia to carry out institutional reforms in the country to reset Malaysia to become once again a first-rate world-class nation.

This is not only because of the success of the Anwar unity government, where after the first “Hundred Days”, the people are still hopeful that the Anwar unity government can reset and return to Malaysia’s original nation-building principles the nation’s founding fathers have written into the Malaysian Constitution and the Rukun Negara, but because the Parliamentary Opposition, the Perikatan Nasional (PN) had dismally failed the Hundred Days test.

Whether calculated from when Anwar Ibrahim was appointed Prime Minister or when the Cabinet was formed, Anwar had passed the “100 Days” test while Perikatan Nasional (PN) had failed the “100 Days” test

(Versi BM)

Whether calculated from when Anwar Ibrahim was appointed Prime Minister on 24th November 2022 or when the Anwar unity Cabinet was formed on 3rd December 2022, Anwar had passed the “100 Days” test while the Perikatan Nasional had failed the “100 Days” test.

The Anwar Unity Government had passed four crucial tests in its First Hundred Days — namely the convening of the 15th Parliament, the Vote of Confidence in Anwar Ibrahim as the 10th Malaysian Prime Minister, the passage of the Motion of Thanks for the Royal Address and yesterday, the second reading of the 2023 Budget.

Call for establishment of Parliamentary Select Committee on 1MDB scandal to specifically look into three issues: the Apandi, IPIC-Aabar, and the Goldman Sachs settlements and whether they should be re-opened

Parliament should set up a Parliamentary Select Committee on the 1MDB scandal to specifically look into three issues — the Apandi, IPIC-Aabar, and the Goldman Sachs settlements, and whether they should be re-opened.

Former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad has said he was “mystified” by Putrajaya’s decision not to reveal the details of the settlement with former attorney-general Mohamed Apandi Ali overcompensation for the latter’s dismissal from his post.

Should Malaysians dream a common dream of a “Malaysian Dream” or separate dreams of a “Malay Dream” and a “Non-Malay Dream”?

Should Malaysians dream a common dream of a “Malaysian Dream” or separate dreams of a “Malay Dream” and a “Non-Malay Dream”?

The answer should be obvious after six decades of Malaysian nation-building, but it has been thrown to the forefront of Malaysian politics by the author of the 1970 book “The Malay Dilemma”.

After six decades of Malaysian nation-building and half a century of Rukun Negara, we should be talking about the “Malaysian Dilemma” instead of the “Malay Dilemma” or the “Non-Malay Dilemma”

After six decades of Malaysian nation-building and half a century of Rukun Negara, we should be talking about the “Malaysian Dilemma” instead of the “Malay Dilemma” or the “Non-Malay Dilemma”.
