Following the declassification of the 1976 Double-Six Crash Report, the Cabinet should next declassify the reports of CEP and IRC

I welcome the Cabinet decision to declassify the full report of the federal investigation on the 1976 plane crash that killed 11 people, including the then Sabah chief minister Fuad Stephens, for there is simply no reason or justification to keep the report under the Official Secrets Act for 47 years.
Pathetic that Wan Saiful is scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to defend the indefensible
It is pathetic to see the former Bersatu Information chief and MP for Tasek Gelugor, Wan Saiful Wan Jan scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to defend the indefensible to justify the absence of the top Perikatan Nasional (PN) leaders from the Prime Minister’s Question Time yesterday.
The Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil made a valid point when he criticised the top three PN leaders for their absence in Parliament during the PMQT yesterday.

Is the suggestion that Najib can make a second review application to set aside his conviction and sentencing to 12 year’s imprisonment in the SRC corruption case an April Fool’s joke when the country needs finality and closure in the case to achieve sorely needed political stability?

Is the suggestion that former Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak can make a second review application to set aside his conviction and sentencing to 12 year’s imprisonment in the SRC corruption case an April Fool’s joke when the country needs finality and closure in the case to achieve sorely needed political stability?

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?

Shocked by Jomo’s revelation that Council of Eminent Persons (CEP) never produced a report
Posted by Kit in Good Governance on Tuesday, 28 March 2023, 12:36 pm
I am shocked by the revelation of Jomo Kwame Sundaram, a member of the Council of Eminent Persons (CEP) appointed by the Prime Minister of the Pakatan Harapan government formed after the 14th General Election in 2018, that the CEP never produced a report. A report was prepared by the secretariat under former finance minister Daim Zainuddin but there was no report on the entire CEP.
PAS leaders and MPs will not be able to respond to calls by the Rulers and the Malaysian public to reduce race and religious temperature in the political arena until the PAS President Hadi Awang stop using lies, falsehoods, and fake news to pursue his political interests

The Sultans in various states and the Malaysian general public have asked politicians to reduce race and religious temperatures in political arena but the PAS leaders and Members of Parliament will not be able to respond to these calls by the Rulers and the Malaysian public unless the PAS President, Hadi Awang, stop using lies, falsehoods, and fake news to pursue his political interests.

Hadi should break his silence for two decades as PAS President and declare whether he had supported Vision 2020 and the nine strategic challenges
Posted by Kit in Hadi Awang on Saturday, 25 March 2023, 3:38 pm
PAS President, Hadi Awang is back to his old tactics, using lies, falsehoods, and fake news in his Facebook postings to defame others he regard as undermining his authority and leadership.
Mahathir’s blaming Abdullah and Najib for the total failure of Vision 2020 has reinforced my argument that 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
Malaysia was governed by three men in the 30 years between 1991 and 2020 to fulfil the objectives of Vision 2020: Dr. Mahathir Mohamad 1991–September 2003; Abdullah Badawi September 2003–April 2009; and Najib Razak April 2009–May 2018; again Dr. Mahathir Mohamad May 2018–Feb. 2020.

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.
All the nine strategic challenges spelt out by Mahathir when launching Vision 2020 in 1991 were abject failures
I re-read the nine strategic challenges spelt out by the fourth Prime Minister. Mahathir Mohamad when launching Vision 2020 in 1991, and found to my horror that all the nine strategic challenges were abject failures for Malaysia.
Final Advice to Mahathir Mohamad
Before the 15th General Election on 19 November 2022, I advised two doyens of Malaysian politics, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad and Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah not to contest in the general election but to take on advisory roles.
Malaysia does not want to be another Singapore but better than the island republic, as Malaysia is better positioned to leverage on the best values and virtues of four great civilisations to build a new international civilisation for the world
