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.

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 »

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.

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.

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.

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”.

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.
