Two years before Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim published his book “The Asian Renaissance” in 1996, he responded to Samuel Huntington’s theory of “Clash of Civilisations” at the Georgetown University convocation in Washington in October 1994 and called for civilisational dialogue between East and West.
He said: “The question , however. is not whether civilizations will necessarily clash, rather whether civilizations ought to clash”. Read the rest of this entry »
Who are the national leaders who are Prime Minister-designates talking about the objective of Malaysia rising up again to become a great world-class nation?

In a week’s time, Malaysia will be celebrating the 66th National Day and in 34 years’ time, Malaysians will be Malaysia’s Centennial.
The Anwar-Mahathir war will enthral all Malaysians but the most important question in Malaysia today is whether all political parties and Malaysians will compete to race Malaysia to the top as a successful world-class nation and not to compete to race Malaysia to the bottom as a failed, divided, and kleptocratic state

The Anwar-Mahathir war will enthral all Malaysians but the most important question in Malaysia today is whether all political parties and Malaysians will compete to race Malaysia to the top as a successful world-class nation and not to compete to race Malaysia to the bottom as a failed, divided, and kleptocratic state.

Can Anwar Ibrahim survive five years as the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia?
This is a question which Malaysians must constantly ask themselves for the next five years, unless Anwar is toppled before five years.
Anwar has passed the three tests of the eight-week Dewan Rakyat meeting while the Perikatan Nasional leaders and MPs have failed in their efforts to try to topple the Anwar unity government and further polarise the nation through heightened and untruthful race and religious rhetorics

The eight-week meeting of the Dewan Rakyat ended last Thursday — with the 10th Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim passing the three tests of the eight-week Dewan Rakyat meeting while the Perikatan Nasiohal (PN) leaders and MPs failed in trying to topple the Anwar Unity Government and to further polarise the nation through heightened and untruthful race and religious rhetorics.

Posted by Kit in Anwar Ibrahim on Sunday, 2 April 2023
The Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim, should be commended for his China trip for he had secured RM170 billion worth of investment commitments — the most for any Malaysian Prime Minister in a China visit.
These are for a total of 19 memoranda of understanding (MOU), sealed between businesses in Malaysia and China in various fields, especially in green technology and the digital economy.
Support for Anwar’s condemnation of Swedish-Danish far-right politician Rasmus Paludan for burning a copy of holy Quran in Stockholm
Posted by Kit in Anwar Ibrahim, Islam on Monday, 23 January 2023
I fully support the condemnation of the Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim, of the Swedish-Danish far-right politician Rasmus Paludan for burning a copy of the holy Quran in Stockholm on Sunday.
It is not only a blatant defilement of Islam’s holy book, but an unacceptable hate speech which cannot find any justification as “freedom of speech” in any civilized society, just as there can be no justification for any act of arson.
Anwar must walk the talk of his anti-corruption commitment and produce results within a year when Transparency International releases its Corruption Perception Index 2023 next January
Posted by Kit in Anwar Ibrahim, Corruption on Tuesday, 10 January 2023
The 10th Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim, must walk the talk of his anti-corruption commitment and produce results within a year when Transparency International (TI) releases its 2023 Corruption Perception Index (CPI) next January.
It is too late for Anwar to do anything to improve Malaysia’s rank and score in the TI CPI 2022 which will be released later this month — which is likely to be the worst in the history of Malaysia in the 28-year series of TI CPI despite the 2019 TI CPI under the 22-month Pakatan Harapan government which was the best TI CPI in 25 years.
The six State General Elections will be a crucial test whether the Anwar unity government will have political stability to last for five years to give Malaysia a chance to change course to again become a first-rate world-class plural nation
Posted by Kit in Anwar Ibrahim, Elections, Unity Government on Wednesday, 4 January 2023
Firstly, I must congratulate V. Ganabatirau for his 91,801 vote-majority win in the Klang Parliamentary constituency in the 15th General Election, the third parliamentary constituency with the largest majority.
His 115,539-vote win in the Klang Parliamentary Constituency has proved that Klang is one of the strongest bases of the DAP’s Malaysian Dream for a united, just, democratic, and prosperous plural nation which is of first-rate world-class standards.
Malaysia started New Year on good and proper footing — let us make Malaysia great again where abuses of power, corruption, and kleptocracy are no more associated with Malaysia

Malaysia started the 2023 New Year on a good and proper footing.
The old year of 2022 ended with an unprecedented stretch of 15 days in double-digit figures for the Covid-19 pandemic cases and 19 consecutive days in single-digit figures for Covid-19 deaths — with even one day (Christmas Day on Dec. 25) with zero death.
2023 will be make-or-break year for Anwar Unity Government and Malaysia to be great again
Posted by Kit in Anwar Ibrahim, Unity Government on Saturday, 31 December 2022
2023 will be a make-or-break year for Anwar Unity Government and Malaysia to be a great again.
The Anwar Unity Government has started on the right footing in its first month office, vindicating what Anwar promised after he was appointed the 10th Prime Minister by the Yang di Pertuan Agong on Nov. 24, 2022 that he would not compromise on good governance, the anti-corruption drive, judicial independence, and the welfare of ordinary Malaysians.
Malaysia has a big chance under Anwar unity government to rebuild Malaysia into a first-rate world-class plural nation – don’t spoil it

A clarification is in order with regard to my statement yesterday entitled: “Anwar should ignore Mahathir and learn the most important lesson of the 22-month Pakatan Harapan Government — carry out as many of the ‘reformasi’ institutional reforms in the early months of the new government as he may not have five years”.
I am aware that the naysayers are jumping on the statement as proof that Lim Kit Siang does not believe that Anwar Ibrahim will last five years as Prime Minister and fortified their resolve to topple Anwar Ibrahim as Prime Minister ala-Sheraton Move political conspiracy as soon as possible.

The Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim should ignore Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad and learn the most important lesson of the 22-month Pakatan Harapan Government — carry out as many of the “reformasi” institutional reforms in the early months of the new government as he may not have five years.
He should carry out the promise he made after he was appointed the 10th Prime Minister by the Yang di Pertuan Agong on Nov. 24, 2022 that he would not compromise on good governance, the anti-corruption drive, judicial independence, and the welfare of ordinary Malaysians.
Now its Merry Christmas all round although it could have been a very grim Christmas if political developments had taken a different turn and Anwar had not become the 10th Prime Minister

Now its Merry Christmas all round although it could have been a very grim Christmas if political developments had taken a different turn and Anwar Ibrahim had not become the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia.
Malaysia is a multi-ethnic, multi-lingual, multi-religious, and multi-cultural nation and let the 2022 Christmas be the first festivity where Malaysians again celebrate their unity in diversity by rejoicing in the festivities of all ethnic and religious groups — be it Thaipusam, Chinese New Year, Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Wesak Day, Hari Gawai, Hari Kaamatan, Hari Raya Haji, Deepavali, or Christmas.
Anwar Government should give priority to legal reforms to ensure that the abuses of SOSMA in the last decade to muzzle corruption scandals, promote free and fair elections, and to arrest Malaysians in non-existing links with Tamil Tigers could not be repeated

The Anwar Government should give priority to legal reforms to ensure that the abuses of Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma) in the last decade to muzzle corruption scandals, promote free and fair elections, and to arrest Malaysians in non-existing links with Tamil Tigers could not be repeated
Fully support Perak Sultan Nazrin Shah to have zero tolerance for incitement of racial and religious fear and hatred in plural Malaysia
Posted by Kit in Anwar Ibrahim, Hate Speech on Wednesday, 21 December 2022
The speech yesterday by Perak Sultan Nazrin Shah not to tolerate attempts to incite racial and religious hatred which would provoke hostilities in Perak should be the national policy of the country.
I call on the Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim to have zero tolerance for incitement of racial and religious fear and hatred in plural Malaysia as it can destroy the country.
Vote of Confidence has solidified Anwar’s tenure as 10th Prime Minister for five years, although the guards must never be down on the possibility of a Sheraton Move 2 political conspiracy to topple the Anwar government much earlier

The vote of confidence in Parliament yesterday on Anwar Ibrahim as the 10th Prime Minister has solidified Anwar’s tenure as Prime Minister for five years, although the guards must never be down on the possibility of a Sheraton Move 2 political conspiracy to topple the Anwar government much earlier.
Perikatan Nasional (PN) MPs made this point quite clear in the parliamentary debate yesterday although the masterminds of a Sheraton Move 2 political conspiracy must now realise that after the vote-of-confidence in Parliament yesterday, it is unlikely to happen in months as they originally expected.
Will the Perikatan Nasional MPs vote in support, abstain, or oppose the vote of confidence in Anwar Ibrahim as the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia?
Posted by Kit in Anwar Ibrahim, Unity Government on Sunday, 18 December 2022
Will the Perikatan Nasional (PN) MPs vote to support, abstain, or oppose the vote of confidence in Anwar Ibrahim as the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia?
It will be asking the PN MPs to do a very tall job to put nation before party, coalition, and self to support the vote of confidence in Anwar Ibrahim as the 10th Prime Minister in Parliament on Tuesday to ensure that there is clean, transparent, responsible, and stable political eco-system in Malaysia, which is the PN manifesto for the 15th General Election.
Unity Government agreement signed yesterday will not only ensure Anwar unity government can last five years and political stability for the country, it is the basis for Malaysia to stop its national decline and to become a world-class nation again before Malaysia’s Centennial

I congratulate the Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim for the unity government agreement signed by political coalitions, political parties and individual MPs, as it will not only ensure that the Anwar unity government can last five years and political stability for the country, it is the basis for Malaysia to stop its national decline and to become a world-class nation again before Malaysia’s Centennial.
I want Anwar Ibrahim to be the 10th Prime Minister for full five years to stop the national decline and to start the long process to make Malaysia great again
Posted by Kit in Anwar Ibrahim, Fake News on Friday, 16 December 2022
There is a fake social media message in circulation which said: “Lim Kit Siang ramal Anwar akan tumbang dalam tempoh setahun”.
I never said such a thing.
