To improve Malaysia’s ranking on the Social Progress Index is to further Karpal’s legacy
Posted by Kit in DAP, Karpal Singh, nation building on Monday, 20 May 2024
Malaysia needs more towering Malaysians like Karpal Singh to save the nation from the fate of a failed, divided and kleptocratic state.
Karpal has inspired Malaysians on justice, the rule of law, human rights and good governance as seen by the large crowds at two events to commemorate the tenth anniversary of his untimely passing a decade ago — the Karpal Singh Legacy Walk at Persiaran Karpal Singh and the Honouring Karpal Singh Forum — both in Penang yesterday.

Anyone suggesting that the government is dominated by the DAP should be required to produce proof or is guilty of abusing 2Rs of race and religion to instill racial and religious animosities to create hate and disunity in Malaysia

The Pakatan Harapan government was toppled in 2020 after 22 months because of the belief that it was dominated by DAP and influenced by non-Malays to carry out policies detrimental to Malay and Islamic interests, perpetuating the lies that the “Malays under threat” and “Islam under threat”.
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.
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?
I became a victim of the politics of lies, falsehoods, and fake news when I was accused of being a communist in the last five years although in the earlier 50 years nobody made that accusation, just like I was accused of causing the May 13, 1969 riots although nobody made that accusation in the four decades after 1969

I was in Seremban yesterday for the launching ceremony by the Transport Minister and DAP Secretary-General Anthony Loke to rename Jalan Temiang in Seremban to Jalan Dr. Chen Man Hin
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.
Let the general election in the six states in July or August be a reaffirmation of the Malaysian Dream to show that it is not only strongly supported in Penang, Selangor, and Negeri Sembilan but receiving more and more support in Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu

Yesterday marked the 57th anniversary of the registration of the DAP by the Registrar of Societies.
Why the three-week eerie silence of the accusers to cite a single instance to prove DAP is anti-Malay, anti-Islam, communist and promoting Islamophobia from the 14-year DAP-led Penang State Government from 2008 to 2022?
Three weeks ago, I invited Malaysians from Perlis to Johore, as well as in Sabah and Sarawak, to cite an instance of the DAP being anti-Malay, anti-Islam, communist and promoting Islamophobia from the 14 years of DAP-led Penang State Government from 2008 to 2022.
But there were no takers. Instead, there was a long eerie silence which does not befit honest, upright, and righteous accusers of wrongdoing by others.
Tanjong constituency had been a bastion of the Malaysian Dream for a free, just, democratic, and prosperous Malaysia for over three decades
Firstly, let me congratulate the voters of Tanjong for being the bastion of the Malaysian Dream for a free, just, democratic, and prosperous Malaysia for over three decades since 1986 when I first became Member of Parliament for Tanjong.
Secondly, I congratulate Penang DAP for excellent results in the 15th General Election where in four parliamentary constituencies, the opposing candidates to the DAP lost all lost their deposits.
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.
Can all political coalitions and parties agree that Malaysia should be the first nation in the world to deal with the bane of the information era — the toxic politics of lies, fear, hate, race, and religion?
The 15th General Election on November 19, 2022 has given rise to an “unity government” but can all political coalitions and political parties agree that Malaysia should be the first nation in the world to deal with the bane of the information era — the toxic politics of lies, fear, hate, race, and religion — which could destroy Malaysia or reduce it to a third-rate, failed, and divided nation in another three or four decades?
There is no guarantee that the task for a national reset by returning to the nation-building principles the nation’s founding fathers enshrined in the Malaysian Constitution and the Rukun Negara will succeed nor is it a mission which could be accomplished by one Prime Minister or in one general election, as it will take three or four decades.
Odyssey of a Malaysia patriot in search of the Malaysia Dream of Malaysia as among the best nations in the world
I am 81 years old and am not a candidate for the 15th Malaysian parliamentary general election on Nov. 19, 2022.
For the first time in 53 years since the 1969 general election, I was outside the Nomination Day centre as only three persons were allowed into the Nomination Centre – the candidate, the proposer and the seconder of which I was not one of the three. Read the rest of this entry »
Will PAS President Hadi Awang and PAS Perak Commissioner Razman Zakaria emulate the award-winning singer Jamal Abdillah to apologise to DAP for lies and untruths about DAP
Will the PAS President Hadi Awang and the PAS Perak Commissioner Razman Zakaria emulate the award-winning singer Jamal Abdillah to apologise to DAP for lies and untruths about the DAP?
Yesterday, Jamal made an open apology for his recent call on Twitter to reject DAP for lies and untruth about azan and tahfiz schools under the DAP government in Penang. Read the rest of this entry »
Will the tipping point where the Malay voters are no more misled by UMNO and PAS lies, falsehood and disinformation that DAP is communist, anti-Malay, anti-Islam and anti-Royalty take place in the 15th General Election?
Will the tipping point where the Malay voters are no more misled by UMNO and PAS likes, falsehood and disinformation that the DAP is communist, anti-Malay, anti-Islam and anti-Royalty take place in the 15th General Election?
This will determine whether the DAP parliamentary candidate for Jerai, Zulhazmi Shariff, can make a breakthrough and become a Member of Parliament on November 19, 2022. Read the rest of this entry »
Call on Penang voters to lead Malaysian voters to make Malaysia among the best in the world and not a failed and rogue state like a kleptocracy on Malaysia Centennial in another four decades
This is the first time I am outside a general election nomination centre for 53 years since 1969.
While waiting for the completion of the nomination process for the Pakatan Harapan candidate for Tanjong, my daughter Lim Hui Ying, I thought about the future of Malaysia. Read the rest of this entry »
I have never proposed any candidate for high office to Mahathir when he was Prime Minister in the 22 months of Pakatan Harapan government
Posted by Kit in DAP, PH Government on Saturday, 5 November 2022
The assurance by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim that the DAP would not be in control of Pakatan Harapan if the coalition under his watch wins the coming polls shows both the degree of toxic politics of race and religion which had been disseminated in the current 15th general election campaign and the likelihood that Anwar Ibrahim will be the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia.
The DAP had been accused of controlling Pakatan Harapan when it was in government for 22 months from the 14th General Election on May 9, 2018. Read the rest of this entry »
MPs must be long-distance runners, by relay or otherwise, in pursuit of the dream of a better Malaysia for our children and children’s children
I contested the Bukit Bendera parliamentary constituency in the 10th General Election on Nov. 29, 1999 and was defeated – the first time I was defeated since I took part in parliamentary elections in 1969.
The Barisan Alternative of DAP, KeAdilan, PAS and PRM failed in its objective to end the UMNO/BN political hegemony by ending its two-thirds majority in Parliament! Read the rest of this entry »

The best way to remember Dr. Chan Man Hin is to continue his vision of a Malaysian Dream – a world class great plural nation which is honest, effective and incorruptible
Posted by Kit in DAP, nation building on Thursday, 22 September 2022
The best way to remember Dr. Chen Man Hin, founder Chairman of Democratic Action Party for 30 years, and who have dedicated over five decades of his life to Malaysia, is to continue his vision of a Malaysian Dream – a world class great plural nation which is honest, effective and incorruptible.
I thank the longest-serving Inspector-General of Police, Tun Haniff Omar, for the declassification of a over-50 year Official Secrets Act document – the statement which I made to the police while in police custody at the Kuala Selangor Police Station lock-up under the Internal Security Act after I rejected advice not to return to Malaysia and flew back to Malaysia on 18th May 1969.

Is the jailing of former Prime Minister Najib Razak the tipping point for the Malays, who form the dominant majority in Malaysia, to realise that we must all become Malaysians First and not Malay first, Chinese first, Indian First, Kadazan first or Iban first if Malaysia is to succeed as a world-class great nation?
Posted by Kit in DAP, Najib Razak, nation building on Monday, 5 September 2022
Since the jailing of Najib Razak for the monstrous mega 1MDB financial scandal with the dismissal of his appeal by the Federal Court on 23rd August 2022, I have been wrestling with the question:
Whether the jailing of former Prime Minister Najib Razak is the tipping point for Malays in the country, who form the dominant majority in Malaysia, to realise that we must all become Malaysian First, and not Malay first, Chinese first, Indian first, Kadazan first or Iban first if Malaysia is to succeed as a world-class great nation?
