DAP wants Bagan voters to vote for a great international Penang as a forerunner of a great Malaysia in the Asian century and not a great international failure in two or three decades’ time
Twenty-eight years ago, in September 1995, the voters of Bagan saved the DAP and democracy in Malaysia after the DAP suffered its worst electoral defeat in three decades in the 1995 general elections.
Two challenges for the voters of Bagan Jermal, Sungai Puyu, Bagan Dalam, and Prai — to stop the national decline of the last few decades and to vote for the future for Penang and Malaysia to be the role model for the world in inter-ethnic, inter-religious, inter-cultural, and inter-civilisation dialogue, understanding, tolerance, and harmony
Twenty-eight years ago, in September 1995, the voters of Bagan saved the DAP and democracy in Malaysia after the DAP suffered its worst electoral defeat in three decades in the 1995 general elections with the government coalition winning a five-sixth majority in Parliament.
Penang should be the front-line state to enable Malaysia to be role model of the world in inter-ethnic, inter-religious, inter-cultural, and inter-civilisation dialogue, understanding, tolerance, and harmony
I was at the Seri Delima nomination centre this morning with the Pakatan Harapan candidate, Connie Tan, and I thought of my plunge into Malaysian politics some six decades ago.

I call on voters of six state polls in Penang, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu on August 12 to endorse the Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim’s Ekonomi Madani for Malaysia to be among the top 25 countries with least corruption.
The six state polls on August 12 is not about race or religion as no race or religion in Malaysia is under threat but whether Malaysia can rise again and become a great world-class nation punching above its weight

August 12 will decide not only further development and prosperity of Penang and other five states but whether Malaysia can rise again as a great world-class nation
The August 12 state polls will not only decide the further development and prosperity of Penang and the other five states but whether Malaysia can rise again as a great world-class nation.
Pahang and Negeri Sembilan have been uplifted after Merdeka in 1957 to become middle-income states while Kelantan remains stuck as a low-income state
I agree with the Pahang Executive Councillor Fadzli Mohamad Kamal that Pahang and Kelantan are in different leagues of development and cannot be compared at the same level.
The six state polls on August 12 will decide whether Penang, Selangor, and Negeri Sembilan want to be as poor and backward as Kelantan, Terengganu, and Kedah or whether Kelantan, Terengganu, and Kedah want to be as developed as Penang, Selangor, and Negeri Sembilan

Let’s dedicate the six state polls on August 12 to Salahuddin Ayub to further his vision of greater political stability and national unity in Malaysia so that the country can rise again and become a world-class great nation punching above its weight
The nation has lost a great Malaysian son with the death of Amanah Deputy President and Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Salahuddin Ayub.

The nation has lost a great Malaysian son with the death of Amanah Deputy President and Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Salahuddin Ayub.
Salahuddin was most approachable and down-to-earth who could look after the interests of all Malaysians, regardless of race or religion.
If Malaysia is to rise again and become a world-class great nation, we need more Salahuddin Ayubs, both in the political and other arenas in the country.
Can Malaysia learn from Vietnam and rise again as a world-class great nation?
During his two-day visit to Vietnam, the Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim asked Malaysia to learn from Vietnam’s experience for Malaysia to rise again as a world-class great nation.

My lawyers have been instructed to proceed to institute defamation suit against Annuar Musa in linking me to the May 13, 1969 riots and I reiterated my instruction not to accept Annuar Musa’s apology but to insist on compensation for defaming me.
Bomb attempt on Siti Kasim must be denounced by everyone in the strongest possible terms
The bomb attempt on Siti Kasim must be denounced by everyone in the strongest possible terms, as such attempt on any person’s life has no place in Malaysia’s public life.
I forgive Annuar Musa, Zuraida Kamaruddin and Afif Bahardin their misperceptions as their statements casting aspersions on me as they were made before they read my clarification that I wanted all political parties and candidates for the six state polls on August 12 to lower the temperature on racial and religious polarisation and to stop exploiting the 3R issues prevent another May 13 riots

Was I being overdramatic when I said yesterday that “After 54 years, Malaysia is teetering on the edge of another May 13, 1969 riots”?

Was I being overdramatic when I said yesterday that “After 54 years, Malaysia is teetering on the edge of another May 13, 1969 riots”.
Let us think back to the days of May 11, 12, and 13, 1969.
Did anybody expected May 13, 1969 riots to erupt?
Will all political parties and candidates in the forthcoming six state polls on August 12 declare that they do not want a recurrence of May 13, 1969 riots in Malaysia and reaffirm the relevance of the Rukun Negara nation-building principles for a plural Malaysia?

Malaysia needs political stability to be a great nation again and cannot be like Lebanon whose Parliament voted 12 times in nine months but could not elect a President

If there is a huge victory for Anwar unity government in the six state polls, Anwar should consider making representations to the Saudi Arabia government to lift the ban on Hadi Awang so that the PAS President will understand the battle between the open-minded and the extremist Islamists in the Middle East

I had a fall two days ago and hurt my knee. I was in pain and I went to the hospital. I was x-rayed and prescribed pain-killers.
Bu I am here tonight because the six state polls on August 12 are very important not only for the states concerned — Penang, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu — but even more important, for the Malaysian nation as well.
The six state polls on August 12 is a battle between the future and the past, a Malaysia based on the unity of all Malaysians regardless of race, religion, region, gender or age and a denial of this concept
