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

(Versi BM)

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

(Versi BM)

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

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.

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

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.

The PAS President, Hadi Awang, is one of the 22 MPs who did not participate in the Royal Address Motion in Parliament.

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.

Do we have an Opposition Leader who is afraid to raise the issue of corruption in Parliament?

(Versi BM)

Yesterday, I said the Parliamentary Opposition Leader, Hamzah Zainudin made two mistakes last Tuesday — firstly, in failing to provide check and balance during half-hour Prime Ministerial question time and secondly, in failing to pass the Yang di Pertuan Agong’s test in the Royal Address Motion to ensure political stability for the next five years to allow the country to unite a very polarised plural nation, and to reset and return to the original nation-building principles to become a first-rate world-class nation.

Hamzah Zainudin has failed the Agong test to ensure political stability for the next five years to allow the country to unite a very polarised plural nation, and to reset and return to the original nation-building principles to become a first-rate world-class nation

(Versi BM)

The Parliamentary Opposition Leader, Hamzah Zainudin, has failed the Agong test to ensure political stability for the next five years to allow the country to unite a very polarised plural nation, and to reset and return to the original nation-building principles to become a first-rate world-class nation.

The minimum that Hamzah could do was to give an undertaking that Anwar Ibrahim would be the last Prime Minister the 16th Yang di Pertuan Agong will swear in before the end of his five-year reign next January, as the 16th Yang di Pertuan Agong will go down in history of having to work with four Prime Ministers during his reign.

Support parliamentary reform to penalise MPs who make racist or religious allegations including punishing MPs who make allegation that someone is promoting Islamophobia but could not substantiate the allegation

(Versi BM)

I support the proposal by the Speaker of Parliament, Johari Abdul, that MPs uttering remarks that are racist, sexist or insulting are liable to an RM1,000 fine and may even be suspended.

The parliamentary reform should also specify that MPs who make racist or religious allegations, for instance, that someone is promoting Islamophobia, should be punished if they cannot substantiate the allegation.
