I was stunned and shocked by the DNAA development with regard to the Deputy Prime Minister and UMNO President, Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
Mas Ermieyati is barking up the wrong tree

Mas Ermieyati Samsudin is barking up the wrong tree.
Mas Ermieyati Samsudin has undermined her fitness to be PAC Chairperson to examine the 2021 Auditor-General’s Report and the ideal solution is for Wong Shu Qi to be PAC Chairperson to examine the 2021 and 2022 Auditor-General’s accounts and Mas Ermieyati to be PAC Chairperson to examine the 2023 AG accounts

All eyes will be on the 74 PN MPs of PAS and Bersatu as to whether they will conduct themselves in the three-week Parliamentary meeting beginning on Monday as a loyal and patriotic Opposition or will continue to undermine political stability and national unity by polarising race and religious issues

As commitment to reset and return to the original nation-building principles of a plural Malaysia agreed to by nation’s founding fathers, MPs’ oath should be amended to include uphold and advance the Rukun Negara principles

The Unity Government Convention on Sunday has created a new political beginning for the country and the three-week Parliament beginning next Monday should flesh out further the steps to develop into a united, progressive, and prosperous Malaysia where we can be a role model to the world of inter-ethnic, inter-religious, inter-cultural and inter-civilisation dialogue, understanding, tolerance, and harmony.
15th Parliament should realize Bapa Malaysia Tunku Abdul Rahman’s aspiration for Malaysia to be “a beacon of light in a difficult and distracted world” by being a role model to the world for inter-ethnic, inter-religious, inter-cultural and inter-civilisation dialogue, understanding, tolerance, and harmony

Parliament in the May-June meeting should lead the nation with a motion to save Malaysia by a reset and return to the original nation-building principles of a plural Malaysia to become a model state to the world of inter-ethnic, inter-religious, inter-cultural and inter-civilisational understanding, tolerance, and harmony instead of ending up as a divided, failed, and kleptocratic state

I fully support the idea of the Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim, in Kuantan yesterday that Malaysians have been offered an opportunity to save Malaysia which must not be missed or Malaysia will end up as a failed state.
Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man and Wan Saiful should be referred to the Committee of Privileges for misrepresenting the “powers and privileges” of the Dewan Rakyat in exonerating Muhyiddin, Hadi, and Hamzah for playing truant at all the PMQTs during the eight-week Parliament from February to April
Posted by Kit in Parliament on Friday, 7 April 2023
The PAS Deputy President, Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man has joined the former Bersatu Information chief, Wan Saiful Wan Jan to defend the indefensible to exonerate the truancy of the three Perikatan Nasonal (PN) leaders — Muhyiddin Yassin, Hadi Awang, and Hamzah Zainudin — from Parliament during the Prime Minister’s Question time (PMQT) for eight long weeks from February to April 2023.

The eight-week meeting of the opening of the 15th Parliament will end with a big bang if the Reports of the Council of Eminent Persons (CEP) and the Institutional Reforms Committee (IRC) are declassified and tabled as White Papers in the last two days of Dewan Rakyat next week.
This is one of the five proposals I had made in January this year to make the meeting of the opening of the 15th Parliament the most memorable Parliamentary meeting in Malaysian history by initiating institutional reforms for Malaysia to achieve the twin goals of uniting the plural society in Malaysia, and to reset and restore Malaysia as a first-rate world-class nation.
Will Khairy’s proposal for a weekly showdown between the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister-designate come off when Muhyiddin, Hadi, and Hamzah had not posed a single question since the introduction of the Prime Minister’s Question-Time (PMQ) in the last two months?

Yesterday, former Minister Khairy Jamaluddin mooted a weekly showdown between the Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and the Prime Minister-designate while Parliament is in session.
Parliament should be extended by another two days to debate why Vision 2020 was a total failure with Malaysia more corrupt, disunited, and polarised along race and religious lines at the end when compared to the beginning of Vision 2020 in 1991
Posted by Kit in Parliament on Thursday, 23 March 2023
All Malaysians must find out the reasons why Vision 2020 had been a total failure with Malaysia more corrupt, disunited, and polarised along race and religious lines at the end when compared to the beginning of Vision 2020 in 1991
At this rate and result of nation-building in the 30 years from 1991 to 2020, Malaysia is heading to become a failed, divided, and kleptocratic state in another three decades.
The 31-day eight-week parliamentary meeting is coming to an end with three weeks left, but there are no sign that Bersatu and PAS MPs are prepared to show a face of moderation, inclusivity, tolerance, and integrity so that Malaysia can recover and be a world-class nation again

The Anwar unity government has passed the first Hundred Day test but the Bersatu and PAS MPs have dismally failed in the test.
Call for establishment of Parliamentary Select Committee on 1MDB scandal to specifically look into three issues: the Apandi, IPIC-Aabar, and the Goldman Sachs settlements and whether they should be re-opened
Posted by Kit in Parliament on Thursday, 9 March 2023
Parliament should set up a Parliamentary Select Committee on the 1MDB scandal to specifically look into three issues — the Apandi, IPIC-Aabar, and the Goldman Sachs settlements, and whether they should be re-opened.
Former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad has said he was “mystified” by Putrajaya’s decision not to reveal the details of the settlement with former attorney-general Mohamed Apandi Ali overcompensation for the latter’s dismissal from his post.
Has Rayer raised an important issue about the political situation in Malaysia — let Bersatu dissociate itself from PAS that it is going against the advice of the Yang di Pertuan Agong and plotting with Hadi for the collapse of the Anwar Unity government

Has the DAP Member of Parliament for Jelutong RSN Rayer raised an important issue about the political situation in Malaysia in Parliament yesterday that PAS under its President, Hadi Awang, is plotting the collapse of the Anwar unity government this year against the Yang di Pertuan Agong’s advice?
It is not only the Anwar unity government that is under test, the parliamentary opposition is also under test, whether it supports political stability for the next five years for a reset of nation-building policies to unite a very polarised nation to become a first-rate world-class Malaysia instead of hurtling along to become a divided, failed, and kleptocratic state

This thought came to me when I read reports of the former Bersatu information chief Wan Saiful Wan Jan asking in Parliament if the 10th Prime Minister was inspired by the Communist Manifesto in drafting the 2023 Budget, and whether the latter was trying to instigate class warfare.
Will Hamzah in his speech in the debate on the 2023 Budget tomorrow call for the removal of the Official Secrets Act on the billion-dollar 1MDB settlement with Goldman Sachs and for revelation whether the monies recovered had gone to repay 1MDB debts

The parliamentary debate on 2023 Budget presented by Prime Minister-cum-Finance Minister Anwar Ibrahim on Friday begins tomorrow — eight days for policy debate and ten days for committee-stage debate.
2023 Budget in last week of the first 100 days of Anwar unity government — will Parliamentary Opposition again fail the test to ensure political stability for Malaysia in the next five years so that Malaysia can become a first-rate world-class nation by maximising on Malaysia’s human and natural resources?
Posted by Kit in Parliament, Unity Government on Saturday, 25 February 2023
The 2023 Budget of RM386 billion was presented in the last week of the first 100 days of the Anwar unity government and the most important question is whether the Parliamentary Opposition of Perikatan Nasional will again fail the test to ensure political stability for Malaysia in the next five years so that Malaysia can become a first-rate world-class nation by maximising on Malaysia’s human and natural resources.
Does PAS President Hadi Awang accept the five nation-building principles of Rukun Negara?

Today, the Prime Minister-cum-Finance Minister Anwar Ibrahim will be presenting his 2023 Budget, which will be another mini-test of the survivability, and stability of the Anwar unity government.
The PAS President, Hadi Awang, is one of the 22 MPs who did not participate in the Royal Address Motion in Parliament.
Posted by Kit in Hadi Awang, Parliament on Thursday, 23 February 2023
This is a surprise as Hadi is the only political party leader who did not speak on the Royal Address debate in Parliament and the reason is most obvious.
Hadi’s five fitnahs against the DAP are among the important reasons why the PAS President did not speak in the Royal Address Motion in Parliament.
