Is there a replacement for Vision 2020 and Bangsa Malaysia, which had inspired and united Malaysians for over a decade, to inspire and unite Malaysians for the next three decades to world-class standards and achievements?

Is there a replacement for Vision 2020 and a Bangsa Malaysa, which had inspired and united Malaysians for over a decade, to inspire and unite Malaysians, regardless of race, religion or region, for the next three decades to world-class standards and achievements?
It is sad and tragic that Vision 2020 and Bangsa Malaysia have failed, but it is sadder and more tragic that the creator of Vision 2020 and the concept of Bangsa Malaysia has repudiated them, relapsing to very racist rhetorics which could only end up in Malaysia becoming a divided, failed, and kleptocratic state in the future.

Parliament in the May-June meeting should lead the nation with a motion to save Malaysia by a reset and return to the original nation-building principles of a plural Malaysia to become a model state to the world of inter-ethnic, inter-religious, inter-cultural and inter-civilisational understanding, tolerance, and harmony instead of ending up as a divided, failed, and kleptocratic state

Parliament in the May-June meeting should lead the nation with a motion to save Malaysia by a reset and return to the original nation-building principles of a plural Malaysia to become a model state to the world of inter-ethnic, inter-religious, inter-cultural and inter-civilisational understanding, tolerance, and harmony instead of ending up as a divided, failed, and kleptocratic state.
I fully support the idea of the Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim, in Kuantan yesterday that Malaysians have been offered an opportunity to save Malaysia which must not be missed or Malaysia will end up as a failed state.

I want Anwar Unity Government to succeed which means I want UMNO to be stronger than both PAS and Bersatu
I do not believe that former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak’s pardon would be able to rejuvenate Umno after the party’s defeat in the last two elections not because I fear Najib.

There is not a day since my retirement from front-line politics more than a year ago that I have not thought about the future of Malaysia
I declined DAP Secretary-General Anthony Loke’s proposal that I become DAP mentor after I announced my retirement from front-line politics last March, partly because I believe that the DAP was in good hands under a younger generation of DAP leaders but also because I want to establish that when I expressed my views, it was not the DAP’s official views but the views of one person, Lim Kit Siang.
Another 45-year wrong to be immediately rectified by Saifuddin — lift the ban on “The Golden Son of the Kadazan”
The Home Minister, Saifuddin Nasution Ismail should be commended for his instruction for fresh investigations “on an urgent basis” into the claim that the National Registration Department (NRD) had seized the MyKad of an elderly cancer patient in Sarawak, Lina (Samuel), and his undertaking that he would expedite reissuing a MyKad to Lina if she is able to prove that she was born in Malaysia.
Lessons from the wrongful 47-year Official Secret classification of the Double-Six Nomad Crash investigation report
The investigation report into the Double-Six Nomad Crash should never have been classified under the Official Secrets Act and should have been made public 47 years ago in 1976 as its declassification reveals no public security aspect to justify its classification under the Official Secrets Act for nearly five decades.
Fighting corruption and restoring an independent judiciary are two key core principles which cannot be compromised by the Anwar unity government
I said yesterday that the chances of the Anwar unity government can last the full term of five years is positive, but it must not self-destruct by embarking on polices which are totally at variance with its core values and the principles of the original nation-building principles for a plural Malaysia which had the support of the first four UMNO Presidents.
