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

Co-operation of Anwer Unity Government and PAS to resolve the 60-year water problem and the lack of development in Kelantan, Terengganu and Kedah is a worthwhile proposition for the people in the three states but this is my personal proposal and not a DAP proposal

I thank the PAS Deputy President, Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man his response to the proposal that PAS work together with the Anwar Unity Government to resolve long-standing issues and I take note of Tuan Ibrahim’s statement that PAS has no “personal issues (with DAP) but we will stick to our promise made to the rakyat during election campaigning, and we will not lie to the voters by leaving Perikatan Nasional (PN)”.

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.
The high morale and commitments of the Unity Government Convention yesterday to make Malaysia a respected world-class nation are the basis to think of Anwar Ibrahim as the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia not just for a term of five years but two terms of 10 years

How Hadi can be an honest, responsible, and respected Islamic leader in Malaysia
Posted by Kit in Hadi Awang on Sunday, 14 May 2023, 12:26 pm
I have given the PAS President, Hadi Awang ample time to substantiate the numerous allegations which he had hurled against the DAP and myself, but he has not been able to substantiate them.
Hadi is attacking DAP as anti-Malay and anti-Islam because he is possessed by his animus against Anwar becoming Prime Minister of Malaysia
Posted by Kit in Hadi Awang on Saturday, 13 May 2023, 10:47 am
I gave the PAS President Hadi Awang the benefit of the doubt and gave him 48 hours to substantiate his latest diatribe a few days ago — that the Malays were being toyed with and conned due to their own neglect and ignorance, and were victims of the country’s politics, being plagued by corruption, moral decay and divisions among themselves, and that Malays who worked with non-Muslims and non-Malays, who he claimed were the “biggest plunderer” who gave and received bribes, conned the Malays and Muslims for over half a century.

Kelantan, Terengganu, and Kedah were the three states in Malaysia which developed the slowest in the last three decades since 1991 — was this because the three states were conned by plunderers who “give and receive bribes”?

Can Hadi explain why ten of the 20 most corrupt nations in the world in the Transparency International 2022 Corruption Perception Index covering 180 countries are Muslim-majority countries if the majority of the corrupt in Malaysia are non-Muslims and non-bumiputeras?

The PAS President, Hadi Awang, has again delivered a racist and most intemperate diatribe, calling on the Malays to unite as the race is being openly conned!
The Anwar-Mahathir war will enthral all Malaysians but the most important question in Malaysia today is whether all political parties and Malaysians will compete to race Malaysia to the top as a successful world-class nation and not to compete to race Malaysia to the bottom as a failed, divided, and kleptocratic state

What I would do in Parliament if I am Muhyiddin or Hadi
Posted by Kit in Hadi Awang, Muhyiddin Yassin on Monday, 8 May 2023, 10:50 am
If I am Muhyiddin Yassin or Hadi Awang, I would ask the Opposition Leader Hamzah Zainudin to move a motion in the three-week parliamentary meeting starting on May 22 to commend Malaysia for the 40-ranking jump in the RSF’s World Press Freedom Ranking 2023 where Malaysia jumped from the 113th ranking in 2022 to 73rd ranking in 2023, challenge the Anwar unity government to perform a similar 40-ranking jump in the annual Transparency International (TI ) Corruption Perception Index (CPI) to jump from the 61st ranking in the TI CPI 2022 to 21st ranking in the TI CPI 2023, and to express support for the aspiration of the Yang di Pertuan Agong and various Sultans for political stability and national unity in the country, and to endorse the vision for Malaysia to achieve developed nation status, and the nine strategic objectives of Vision 2020 by the end of the five year term of the Anwar unity government in 2027.
Will Muhyiddin and Hadi take up Anwar’s challenge and move a vote of no confidence in him as 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia in the May/June meeting of Parliament?

This is the first time that I am speaking publicly at a DAP function after I announced my retirement from the DAP leadership last March. One of the reasons is that it is at the invitation of the DAP State Johore as at the end of it all, I am a Johorian.
The 48-hour silence of Muhyiddin and Hadi that they will not be involved in any plot to topple the Anwar Unity government for the next five years is loud and significant as it indicate that the two political leaders want Malaysia to continue to have political instability and to stumble from one crisis to another, without any hope of a recovery

Malaysia as a role model to the world how to make the transition from an “official secrets” country to a “freedom of information” nation
Some 44 years ago, on October 16, 1979, I moved a motion on behalf of DAP in Parliament to introduce a private member’s bill intituled “Freedom of Information Act” to ensure openness of government and to prevent the law on government information from protecting inefficiency, maladministration or even malpractices and corruption.
