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

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

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

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?

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

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.

Is the Anwar Ibrahim government the beginning of a new political era or is it a false dawn?
This is the most important question of the 15th General Election on November 19, 2022.
Two questions asked by Malaysians: Will the Anwar Government last five years and will there be another Sheraton Move conspiracy to topple an elected government?
Posted by Kit in Anwar Ibrahim, DAP, PAS, PH Government on Thursday, 1 December 2022
Two questions asked by Malaysians are:
- Will the Anwar Government last five years until the 16th General Election in 2027?
- Will there be another Sheraton Move conspiracy to topple an elected government to usher in a third backdoor government in Malaysia?
This is why I support the proposal by the Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim to have a vote of confidence motion in Parliament on December 19, 2022 as the PAS President, Hadi Awang is trying to create another Sheraton Move conspiracy to topple the Anwar Ibrahim premiership.

I support the proposal by the Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim to have a vote of confidence motion in Parliament on December 19, 2022 as the PAS President, Hadi Awang is trying to create another Sheraton Move conspiracy to topple the Anwar Ibrahim premiership.
Hadi has claimed he masterminded the Sheraton Move conspiracy which toppled the first Pakatan Harapan government after 22 months in Feb. 2020, and the first step of the Sheraton Move conspiracy was the issue of the ratification of International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD).

When the Yang di Pertuan Agong consented to appoint Anwar Ibrahim as the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia, I texted him my congratulations.
Anwar phoned to thank me and I took the opportunity to tell him that his task as the 10th Prime Minister is to make Malaysia great again.
Malaysia is in new era of coalition politics – I advocate a coalition government of PH (82), PN (73), Borneo Bloc (35) under Anwar Ibrahim as Prime Minister to form a coalition with the specific programme to reverse Malaysia’s decline and to make Malaysia a great world-class nation and to fight corruption

Malaysia has a hung Parliament as a result of the voting in the 15th General Election yesterday.
Malaysia is in the new era of coalition politics, and I advocate a coalition government of Pakatan Harapan (82 MPs), Perikatan Nasional (73 MPs) and Borneo Bloc (35 MPs) under Anwar Ibrahim as Prime Minister to form a coalition of with the specific programme to reverse Malaysia’s decline to make Malaysia a great world-class nation and to fight corruption.
Although I have retired from front-line politics after 57 years, I will continue with the political struggle to make Malaysia a great world-class plural nation by Malaysia’s Centennial in another four decades starting with making Anwar Ibrahim the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia
Posted by Kit in Anwar Ibrahim, GE15, Pakatan Harapan on Saturday, 22 October 2022
I was in Ipoh Convention Centre on Thursday night because I support the Pakatan Harapan objective to make Anwar Ibrahim the tenth Prime Minister of Malaysia.
The greatest challenge in the 15th General Election is whether Pakatan Harapan can succeed in making Anwar Ibrahim the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia. Read the rest of this entry »
