The next three years will be critical not only for the Anwar premiership, but also for Pakatan Harapan and DAP
Posted by Kit in nation building on Saturday, 21 December 2024
I thank the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim for relaunching Kee Thuan Chye’s two-volume biography of me and volume 2 of the Chinese translation.
I can still remember the bicycle trip I made from Batu Pahat to Malacca in Form One with two classmates, and during the 62-mile trip, we were discussing the hopes and aspirations of the recently held Afro-Asian Leaders Conference in Bandung.
Next year is the 70th anniversary of the Afro-Asian Conference in Bandung. Read the rest of this entry »

The results of the Makhota by-election in Kluang on Saturday, following the victory of the Unity Government in Nenggiri by-election in Kelantan, signifies three things:
Firstly, Malaysians want stability as nobody benefits from a chaotic and unstable Malaysia – with no investor, particularly a foreign investor, wanting to invest in such a Malaysia.
Secondly, there is only one end result for a chaotic and unstable Malaysia – a failed state. It is not the road for Malaysia to rise again to become a great world-class nation.
Thirdly, the end of the Green Wave in Malaysia, where extremism, hatred, lies, misinformation and disinformation ruled the day. Read the rest of this entry »

I thank the DAP Secretary-General Sdr. Anthony Loke and DAP MPs for this dinner to mark the conferment of DUPN on me by the Governor of Penang.
In the United States, a great campaign is going on to decide in the next 90 days who will be the President of United States. Until some three weeks ago, there was nothing to watch was it was a battle between two old men. Now there is hope and vision for America, and the Democratic Candidate Kamala Harris has coined the slogan “We are not going back. We are going into the future.” Read the rest of this entry »

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.

Posted by Kit in Elections, nation building on Sunday, 12 May 2024
History was made in Kuala Kubu Baharu yesterday.
The two memorials for former Selangor State Assemblywoman Lee Kee Hiong — one last Monday by the cultural group in KKB and the other by the people of all races and religions in KKB on Thursday night — were history-making, as well as the two DAP branches in Hulu Selangor formed by Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (ATM) veterans.
The next three to four years will decide whether Malaysia will rise again to become a global role model and a great world-class nation or whether we are condemned to be a divided, failed, and kleptocratic state

End of Wayang Kulit to topple Anwar as Prime Minister and time to replace the Malay Narrative which had produced five Prime Ministers in five years with a Malaysian Narrative to unite the country, reverse the national decline in the last quarter of a century and make Malaysia a great world-class nation
Posted by Kit in nation building, Unity Government on Monday, 29 January 2024
There was a prolonged Wayang Kulit to topple Anwar Ibrahim as the 10th Prime Minister but this has come to an end and it is time to replace the Malay Narrative which has produced five Prime Ministers in five years with a Malaysian Narrative to unite the country, to reverse the national decline in the last quarter of a century and make Malaysia a great world-class nation.
Malaysia has no time for Mahathir as he is engrossed with a long forgotten past, when the country’s destiny is a new common vision to rise up again to become a great world-class nation

The founder of Vision 2020 and Bangsa Malaysia, Tun Mahathir Mohamad did the greatest disservice to both concepts this week when he questioned the loyalty of the Indian Malaysians and Chinese Malaysians to the country.
The “Save Bukit China” campaign 40 years ago is a challenge to the races, religions, and cultures in Malaysia to use their wisdom and expertise for Malaysia to reverse the national decline for a quarter of a century to rise up again a great world-class nation

This ceremony for the DAP Secretary-General, Anthony Loke, who is also the Transport Minister, to hand over a cheque for RM97,447.42 to the Cheng Hoon Teng trustees for Bukit China represents not only a nation-wide campaign for green lung and cultural heritage in Malacca, but part of the long-term struggle to realise the Malaysian Dream.

A friend sent me an article “Social media and the manufacturing of Malay-Muslim insecurity” by Dr. Hew Wai Weng and Dr. Nicholas Chan.
This is an article that must be read by all Malaysians to understand why the first Pakatan Harapan government fell after 22 months as a result of the Sheraton political conspiracy, ushering in the first “backdoor” government under Prime Minister, Muhyiddin Yassin.
Can 2024 be the first year where the 2R issues of race and religion are not exploited — five years where the 2Rs were exploited to the full creating national disharmony for political objectives?

Malaysians will welcome a New Year in less than ten days.
2023 had been the worst year in the last five years because of untrammelled exploitation of the 2R issues of race and religion for political reasons.
If I was wrong about the Malaysian Dream, then Tun Razak was wrong in 1970 to formulate the Rukun Negara and Tun Mahathir Mohamad was wrong in 1990 to formulate the nine strategic objectives of Vision 2020

The Malaysian Police are looking for me for my remarks in Manchester to Malaysian students last Wednesday that the Malaysian Constitution, both in 1957 and the amended one in 1963 when Malaysia was formed, the Rukun Negara 1970 and Vision 2020 with its nine strategic challenges, provided for a multi-ethnic, multi-religious, and multi-cultural Malaysian Dream and not a mono-ethnic dream.

I visited the tourist attractions in Edinburgh and the prevailing thought in my mind was that Edinburgh was the place in the past few hundred years where history was made, but now tourists visit Edinburgh to “see history” instead of “making history”.
Malaysian Constitution provides for a Malaysian Dream and not a mono-ethnic dream as it provides that a non-Malay can be a Prime Minister

I thank everyone for attending this launch and in particular the writer, Kee Thuan Chye, for this two-volume biography.
As Kee has testified, I did not know what he was writing, and the first time I read both volumes were when they were printed. I do not agree with all that he has written, in particular his speculations, but I would recommend both volumes as an insight of my 57 years of political struggle.
