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

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.

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

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
