(Speech at the DAP Public Ceramah/Consultation with DAP MPs/State Excos in Sri Kembangan at the Seri Kembangan Dewan Serbaguna on Sunday, April 13, 2008)
During the 2008 general election campaign, the “kingmaker” of the Abdullah administration, the Prime Minister’s son-in-law Khairy Jamaluddin vowed to destroy the Opposition. In the end, he nearly destroyed Umno and Barisan Nasional.
Umno Information chief and newly-resurrected Minister for Rural and Regional Development, Muhd Muhammad Taib, has admitted that the arrogance of some Umno leaders was to be blamed for the Barisan Nasional’s poor performance in the March polls.
In fact, it it not “some” but most Umno leaders who were arrogant while some, like Khairy, were “very” and insufferably arrogant!
The pressure is on in Umno for Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to assume full responsibility for the March 8 “political tsunami” and to step down as Prime Minister.
The biggest question today is how long Abdullah can survive as Prime Minister, whether until after the Umno polls in December or whether he will have to step down even earlier, with former Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad leading the campaign to demand that his successor should vacate Sri Perdana immediately.
The future of Abdullah as Umno President and Prime Minister of Malaysia will have to be decided by the internal politics of Umno, but Malaysians are entitled to know whether there is the political will to honour the post-election statements by Abdullah and other Barisan Nasional leaders that they have finally heard the voices of the people and would belatedly implement the pledges of reform made in the 2004 general election – that the new 12th Parliament would open at the end of the month with a full parliamentary agenda of wide-ranging reforms!
For the first time in the history of Malaysian Parliament, the Barisan Nasional government is without the requisite two-thirds majority which allows it to amend the Malaysian Constitution at its whim and fancy, as was its wont in the past few decades.
Now, the Barisan Nasional government must secure the support of the Opposition MPs numbering 82 in a House of 222 MPs in order to get constitutional amendments enacted in Parliament.
DAP and Pakatan Rakyat MPs will not oppose for the sake of opposition and the nation and people can be assured that we will support the Barisan Nasional government whether in amending the Constitution or to enact laws if this is in the interest of the people and nation.
There have been considerable talk that the government is finally serious about judicial reforms, especially in ensuring that there is a just and satisfactory closure to the 1988 “Mother of all judicial crisis” in the arbitrary sacking of Tun Salleh Abas as Lord President and Datuk George Seah and the late Tan Sri Wan Suleiman Pawanteh as Supreme Court judges; the repeal of the 1988 constitutional amendment which removed the “judicial power” of the judiciary and gave a fatal blow to the doctrine of the separation of powers among the Executive, Legislature and Judiciary; and the establishment of a Judicial Appointment and Promotion Commission.
The 82 Pakatan Rakyat MPs are prepared to co-operate with Abdullah and Barisan Nasional government to usher in judicial and other major reforms to ensure Malaysia regains our international competitiveness to recover lost ground in the past four decades to catch up with the economic progress of Singapore, South Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan
One important message of the March 8 “political tsunami” is the consciousness of Malaysians, regardless of race, religion and political beliefs, that 50 years after Merdeka, the priority concern of Malaysians is not the competition between Malays and non-Malays but between Malaysians and the rest of the world.
It is for this reason that the recent speech by the Regent of Kelantan, Tengku Mohammad Faris Petra that non-Malays should not ask for equal citizenship rights cannot find resonance or support among progressive Malaysians, whether Malays or non-Malays – as it is the global focus of international competition that should engage our primary attention.
If Malaysia is to fully enhance our international competitiveness so that Malaysians can rise to up the challenges of globalization, Malaysia must undertake a full reform programme to ensure that the country becomes a First-World developed nation with world-class institutions whether judiciary, Parliament, Cabinet, local government, civil service, police, anti-corruption agency, universities, schools and mass media.
These are the issues the first meeting of Parliament should grapple with when it meets at the end of this month, if MPs whether from the Barisan Nasional or Pakatan Rakyat, have heeded the message of March 8 “political tsunami”.
“….The future of Abdullah as Umno President and Prime Minister of Malaysia will have to be decided by the internal politics of Umno, but Malaysians are entitled to know whether there is the political will to honour the post-election statements by Abdullah and other Barisan Nasional leaders…” – YB Kit
To whom is the question addressed to – who is supposed to give the rakyat answer to the question “whether there is the political will to honour the post-election statements by Abdullah and other Barisan Nasional leaders” – Successor (who is he?), Tun Dr Mahathir or Pak Lah??
Readers,
U can accuse Pak Lah of ineffective, under the thumb of his SIL etc, but u cant accuse him of arrogant.
That is why I dread Pak Lah being replaced by Najib. I hv every reason to believe he is DR M’s clone.
Utusan Online – Pemimpin-pemimpin UMNO, Pas dan Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) digesa mengadakan permuafakatan bagi membincangkan hala tuju bangsa Melayu di negara ini.
Ahli Majlis Tertinggi UMNO, Datuk Mohamad Norza Zakaria berkata, permuafakatan pemimpin-pemimpin Melayu daripada ketiga-tiga parti itu perlu diadakan supaya isu-isu berkaitan orang Melayu tidak dipolitikkan.
Menurut beliau, tiga perkara penting berkaitan orang Melayu dan yang akan menentukan masa depan mereka di negara ini ialah membabitkan agama Islam, Dasar Ekonomi Baru (DEB) dan pendidikan.
“Sudah tiba masanya pemimpin Melayu daripada ketiga-tiga parti politik itu berbincang dan mendapatkan persetujuan bersama supaya tiga perkara membabitkan bangsa Melayu itu tidak boleh disentuh dan diganggu oleh orang lain.
“Sekiranya ada pihak yang cuba mengganggu tiga perkara tersebut, pemimpin-pemimpin ini akan mempertahankan hak orang Melayu dengan pendekatan yang sama,” kata Norza selepas merasmikan Kejohanan Olahraga Tahunan Kelima Sekolah Menengah Sains Seri Puteri, dekat sini hari ini.
Norza yang juga Ketua Pemuda UMNO Wilayah Persekutuan itu mahu orang Melayu mempertahankan ketiga-tiga perkara itu sebagai hak bangsa Melayu dengan mengetepikan perbezaan parti politik.
“Sebagai contoh, orang Cina mengetepikan soal perbezaan parti politik dalam menangani dan memperjuangkan isu sekolah Cina dan sepatutnya orang Melayu juga bersikap dan bertindak demikian,” tegasnya.
Ditanya sama ada beliau akan bertanding jawatan Ketua Pemuda UMNO pada pemilihan parti hujung tahun ini, Norza berkata, beliau tidak akan bertanding merebut jawatan itu tetapi hanya akan mempertahankan kerusi MT.
Menurut beliau, masa ini lebih tepat untuk merawat hati-hati yang sudah luka dan mereka ingin melihat UMNO membuat perubahan dan menjadi sebuah parti yang tetap disanjung dari dahulu sehingga sekarang.
Dalam pada itu Norza mengingatkan supaya UMNO yang telah ‘tenat’ dalam Pilihan Raya Umum Ke-12 lalu perlu menjalani proses pemulihan seperti orang sakit yang dimasukkan ke hospital.
Dalam perkara ini katanya, UMNO tidak boleh berlagak seperti tiada apa-apa yang berlaku, kerana sekiranya itu terjadi, maka perubahan atau pemulihan akan berjalan dengan lebih perlahan.
“Kita sepatutnya keluar daripada permainan tuduh-menuduh sebaliknya turun ke padang untuk mengembalikan keyakinan rakyat terhadap UMNO.
“Kita tidak mahu adegan tuduh-menuduh ini menjadi show case untuk tontonan orang lain.
“Jika berlarutan saya khuatir satu hari nanti orang akan menganggap UMNO tidak relevan lagi,” jelasnya.
Menurut beliau, parti pembangkang semakin memperbaiki kedudukan mereka kerana kelemahan UMNO yang mempunyai masalah dalaman yang didedahkan kepada pengetahuan orang luar.
Pembangkang katanya, belajar daripada kelemahan dan masalah UMNO untuk mentadbir negara hari ini.
Norza berkata, “jika kita cepat tutup dan menyelesaikan semua masalah kita, maka lagi cepat kita akan bergerak walaupun yang telah kalah dalam pilihan raya lalu untuk terpaksa bekerja keras.”

It is hard to know to whom these issues are to be addressed to, as there is no clear indication, up to this moment, who the leading candidates are.
To the rakyat, it doesn’t really matter. For what is essential now, is to make our wishes known. Whoever becomes UMNO president, he is also there to serve the rakyat. Even before a clear candidate emerges, let us forward our wishes to them, with whatever means that are at our disposal!
Let us assume our rightful role, set on the night on March, 8th. 2007!
Isu babi Selangor: Syarikat bumiputera, bekas Adun Umno terlibat
Harakahdaily
Mon | Apr 14, 08 | 3:10:10 pm MYT
KUALA LUMPUR, 14 April (Hrkh) – Syarikat bumiputera turut terlibat dalam projek penternakan babi di Selangor yang menimbulkan kontroversi minggu lepas dan seorang wakil rakyat Umno “di belakangnya”, kata seorang pemimpin MCA.
Menurut laporan Malaysikini, syarikat tersebut, yang terlibat dalam satu usahasama, bercadang menggunakan wang – dilaporkan menelan belanja RM100 juta – daripada sumber-sumber dana program alam sekitar Pertubuhan Bangsa-bangsa Bersatu (PBB).
Mendedahkan perkara itu kepada satu sidang media hujung minggu lalu, ketua biro pertanian tradisi MCA Dato’ Dr Lee Chong Meng berkata syarikat bumiputera itu berhasrat membawa masuk teknologi Jerman untuk projek tersebut.
Akhbar The Sun hari ini yang mengutip laporan The Oriental Daily kelmarin menyebut, wakil rakyat BN-Umno bagi kerusi Tajung Sepat, Datuk Karim Mansor, bersama seorang ketua kampung di situ turut bersama dalam rombongan ke luar negara untuk melihat teknologi tersebut.
Karim antara pemimpin Umno yang lantang membantah isu itu di akhbar-akhbar berbahasa Melayu minggu lepas.
Sementara ketua kampung di Ladang Tumbuk – tempat projek itu diadakan – turut menyertai bantahan projek tersebut di depan bangunan kerajaan negeri Selangor di Shah Alam.
Rabu lalu, 200 penduduk kampung di sekitar Sepang mengadakan tunjuk perasaan di hadapan Bangunan Setiausaha Kerajaan Negeri Selangor sebagai membantah projek berkenaan.
Dr Lee berkata beliau mengetahui segala-galanya tentang projek tersebut “seperti tapak tangannya sendiri” kerana terlibat sendiri dengan semua mesyuarat berhubung perkara tersebut.
Menteri Besar Selangor waktu itu Dato’ Seri Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo sendiri telah meluluskan projek pemindahan 132 ladang babi ke projek tersebut, kata Dr Lee, melalui dua ahli exco kerajaan negeri Datuk Ch’ng Toh Eng dan Datuk Tang See Hang.
Dr Lee menambah, sebelum pembubaran parlimen, kerajaan Selangor bawah pentadbiran BN meluluskan projek tersebut dan Karim sendiri menyokong projek tersebut.
Ketua biro MCA itu kesal kerana Karim dan ketua kampung itu sanggup membantah projek tersebut semata-mata kerana kepentingan politik.
Karim, dihubungi Malaysiakini hari ini, menafikan beliau membantah projek tersebut.
Sementara itu sumber-sumber PKR memberitahu, risalah-risalah penerangan tentang isu tersebut – termasuk maklumat yang didedahkan oleh MCA ini – akan diedarkan kepada penduduk Selangor.
PAS sebelum ini dilaporkan akan menemui rakyat Selangor untuk menjelaskan isu tersebut yang mendapat liputan meluas – yang membawa kesan negatif kepada pentadbiran Pakatan Rakyat – di akhbar-akhbar berbahasa Melayu selama beberapa hari minggu lepas. – mks.

RM27million for Selangor burned up in 50 days!
By EDWARD RAJENDRA from THE STAR
KLANG: The 54 Barisan Nasional assemblymen in the previous administration spent their total annual allocation of RM27mil ringgit for 2008 in just 50 days from the beginning of the year, said Selangor exco member Ronnie Liu.
“There was shock and disbelief when the state executive councillors found out that an annual allocation of RM500,000 each, meant for repairing roads and drains, had been used up by February,” he said.
He said the state government would ask all the 36 former Barisan assemblymen and the 28 who retained their seats to explain how the allocations, meant for minor repair works in their constituencies, were used.
Liu, who is State Local Government, Study and Research Committee chairman, was speaking to reporters after a visit to the Klang Municipal Council here on Monday.
He said Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim decided last week to seek an explanation from the asemblymen to ensure accountability.
“All the letters to the assemblymen would be sent out within the week and they must give detailed accounts on how the allocations were used and who the contractors were who carried out the minor projects within their neighborhoods,” Liu said.
“We are not satisfied with the way allocations were used. We want to know how the rate-payers’ money was used. But for now, we are not going to speculate on their spending trends. We will wait to see the outcome,” he said.
Ronnie said the assemblymen in the current government were now forced to ask for a fresh RM500,000 to provide the necessary services to their constituencies.
“We are going to come out with a new method where every sen spent will be accounted for. Our aim is to provide transparency, so, that the rakyat can check on the government’s expenditure,” he said.
“…satisfactory closure to the 1988 “Mother of all judicial crisis” in the arbitrary sacking of Tun Salleh Abas as Lord President and Datuk George Seah and the late Tan Sri Wan Suleiman Pawanteh as Supreme Court judges” Kit
I don’t see how there could be closure! These people had their careers destroyed.
“…to recover lost ground in the past four decades to catch up with the economic progress of Singapore, South Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan” Kit
How has globalization affected the Malaysian economy? In the U.S. free trade is fast becoming a dirty word as the country goes protectionist to stop the flow of capital and the outsourcing of jobs.
The war in Iraq is costing the U.S. some USDLS 5 billion every second!
The future of Abdullah as Umno President and Prime Minister of Malaysia will have to be decided by the internal politics of Umno, but Malaysians are entitled to know whether there is the political will to honour the post-election statements by Abdullah and other Barisan Nasional leaders that they have finally heard the voices of the people and would belatedly implement the pledges of reform made in the 2004 general election….”
We are no longer in what promises they have.
As long as this country is being run by the likes of them, we are all doomed.
The only alternative is for PR to form the government and the earlier the better.
We don’t have the luxury of waiting!
Oops, typo.
We are not long interested in…..
Dear uncle kit,
Please continue to push for judicial reform. Got a feeling that they gonna slowly let it die down without doing anything, as usual.
Good luck when parliament convenes!
During the 2008 general election campaign, the “kingmaker” of the Abdullah administration, the Prime Minister’s son-in-law Khairy Jamaluddin vowed to destroy the Opposition. In the end, he nearly destroyed Umno and Barisan Nasional.
————————————————-
YB LKS, since he has keep his big mouth shut for the moment pls forgive this moron because he is young and brainless.
Yesterday makes today. Today makes tomorrow. Today is the culmination of the past 50 years.
It is reported in the newspaper that political ministers who acquired a large amount of wealth from the government’s money which is also the people’s money will be investigated. I agree. There are still many out there who are doing this and it is an obvious fact.

Abdullah has 2 months left. He is still not listening to the rakyat and is being stubborn holding on to the PM chair. I think he will not only be remmembered as the Father Of Doom, he will really sink UMNO within 2 months. You bet.
UMNO is talking about democracy, about listening to people but is also talking about succession. If UMNO decides Najib to take over the PM post, what democracy is that? UMNO is a gone case, nobody can save UMNO anymore. It has already fallen from playing GOD to the ground with defamed face down. Next is sinking 8 feet underground.
There is another institutional reform we must work for. The GLCs especially that monopolises business like Petronas, TNB and TELEKOM.
I applied to transfer my business phone line from Pulau Indah to Port Klang, just nearby. I was promised it will be done in 3 days. Today, 2 weeks later, even after repeated complaints, the transfer is still not done. I am talking about line trasfer for a running business. Can Telekom imagine how much trouble they did to us being without phone, fax and streamyx ? Is this why Telekom was given the fixed line monopoly?
All these GLC needs slaps….
They are no comparision for AAB with any of our former PM, on the surface he seem/looks an honest man ( though otherwise our PM had became a habitual conveniently forgotten what he had promised over the years ) Before he goes , Let cheer him on so that he might finally realised
some of the his forgotten pledges.. IPMC, Judiciary Reform , etc ..
It’ s a foregone conclusion that his UMNO colleague would like to make him the scapegoats for the GE12 .It is hope he will be like Gorbachev who reform before calling a day..
Let’s summarize: we have over 30 years of reforming to catch up. It is obvious who are behind the GLCs. Between AAB & NR, don’t know who is the lesser evil. Best is not to have both. Don’t forget who said “will bathe the keris in chinese blood” & got away with it. If our laws allow it, we could probably retrieved billions (it not trillions) of RM potentially for over 30 years. Just like in Indonesia, the late Shuharto has to cough out USD100million. I am sure YAB LKS would have been around long enough to have a record of all the scandals & abuse of tax-$/oil-$. Maybe recovering 30% will already amount to billions. All this $ could have gone to build better schools, public amenities, improve drainage, welfare for the hardcore poor, toll-free roads (wishful thinking!!!), etc.
The future of Abdullah as Umno President and Prime Minister of Malaysia will have to be decided by the internal politics of Umno….
As much as we would like to have a say in who we want for our PM is in the hands of UMNO.
So let’s focus on what we can change, focus on improving the situation of the states that’s under the PR government. Protect the raykat’s interest, rpactice good governence and ask & listen to the people.
Internally, focus on increasing the party’s representation from the Malays, Indians and other races to make it more Malaysian.
All these efforts will ensure greater success in the next GE. Time is short, so use it well.

We should not pursue the agenda of dethroning Pak Lah. The alternative of Najib succeeding Pak Lah is even worse.Let Pak Lah continue.Najib still has to explain his role in the Mongolian case. And what about the hefty commission for the submarines and the Sukhoi fighter plane?
The BN debacle is the sum total of BN’s failure as a government that failed to live up to basic clean and clear governance principles.
Pak LAh should not be made to swallow the shit of an entire BN, certainly not when all the hullabaloo is coming from ex-PM Tun M. The latter is actually responsible for the bulk of BN’s shames with the unravelling of all his excesses and abuses during his shameless regime. If Pak Lah falls, then it’s a victory for Tun M and for repression, dictatorsip, a Police state, a subservient judiciary and all the worst fears imaginable would be realised afresh!!!!!!!!
Tun M has a weird, cynical sense of humour; besides, his ethics is deplorably horrendous. Also: remember this articulate man can now hold arguments and debates with the best and the likes of Param and KArpal but who had the cheek to say that he ‘can’t remember’ a host of the simplest things when it mattered most before a Royal Commission. Does that not speak volumes on his honesty and integrity? Such men are dangerous. You judge for yourself.
And whether any attempt to make a comeback either directly or through a proxy is prejudicial to Malaysia’s wellbeing; you be the judge too.
From BERNAMA:
“According to Mahathir, while he was “happy to face a royal commission of inquiry”, Param would reject such a body for lacking integrity.”
>PM: I’ll contest in Umno polls, succession can wait
>Apr 14, 08 5:05pm
> updated 8.50pm Apparently he is in no mood to quit – he will hand over power only when the time is right and this will be sometime after Umno polls in December.
He has no intention to step down. The argument is like what mahathir said before, and also what Taib Mahmud of Sarawak has been saying. All the bad previous examples
The greatest threat to the country is the permanent and far reaching implication of decades of bad leadership and governance of the country, rampant corruption, gross excesses and abuses, crime, religious extremism and etc., not religion, NEP and education of a specific race.
It is typical of some narrow minded, disgraceful and shameless politicians to blame others for their own weaknesses and shortcomings….there is gross lack of good and responsible leadership.
Everyone must be put into accountibility over their actions.
All former Selangor BN MPs have to answer the inquest by current MB as that what the rakyat want to know.
Should there are evidence of corruption, rakyat demand those found quilty to be put in jail as a form of justice to people funds.
We have enough of bad leadership with UMNO people who cheated their own kind even since they rule this country.
Enough is enough ….
No one can escape from this country law and order.
Bring them on ..
Pak Lah is talking about taking some good steps in the right direction for now, though hardly enough.
But certainly better than Razaleigh and ilks who are talking about consolidating Malay power. Malaysians do not want to go back to the old ways if it means more NEP and Ketuanan Melayu. I’d rather live with the relative immorality of crossing over to PR than to live in an environment where the Federal Government persecutes opposition states by witholding development funds, and the press stirring up racial/religious tension.
There are abt. 20,000 ppls attending the Black 14

It really doesn’t matter now whether Badawi or Najib be the PM because UMNO is not going to change.When we have Pakatan Rakyat,BN is no longer relevant.Let us place our future in the hand of PR while waiting for BN to rot .
Uncle Lim, please ensure that the Pakatan makes full use of the people’s support to push through judicial reforms. This is long overdue. There is a dire and critical need for the separation of powers of the judicial and executive pillars.
Another issue that needs immediate attention is the ACA. Please push for reforms in the ACA. By name, it is an anti-corruption agency but by conduct, it appears to be a political tool for the high and mighty. For a start, please push for the independence of ACA and a good starting point would be to put it under the jurisdiction of the parliament.
It is high time for our politicians in the ruling party to seriously think and act globally instead of just giving fantastic and flowery speeches like smart partnership and globalization and whatever. The world is becoming more and more borderless by the day and yet our politicians kept looking inward and narrow minded harping on issues like Malay rights and constitution and a whole host of issues that existed since Merdeka. 50 years on and we still talk about the same old issues while the whole world is flying past us.
The world is sprinting but our government is walking. Without judicial reforms, without clean, efficient and uncorrupted governnace, investors will not come here. If we don’t have economic progression, our people will not progress and even putting food on the table for our family may eventually become a problem. Look at Haiti.
Pakatan – please act. You are our hope!
Dear balance88,
For the change to take place, please join some work group, NGO.
On the gathering to celebrate lifting of his political ban Anwar said to the crowd “The police chief has asked us to stop so we are stopping, but remain peaceful because soon we will be running this country.” That’s a good one.
Anwar further said, “Yes, we have enough MPs to topple the government. We are saying here for the first time that we are ready (to rule the country),” he said. “But we will only enter when the majority is comfortable”. Another good one.
This morning news, Anwar called on Pak Lah to establish a Royal Commission to investigate allegations of abuse of power on part of TDM which may be seen as part of 1st step by Pakatan Rakyat to pressure for judicial and other institutional reforms. Things have gone a full circle (Anwar was prosecuted and convicted of abuse of power under TDM’s watch).
Anwar said that “rather than seizing government, the opposition’s priorities are to consolidate its gains and work with Sabah and Sarawak lawmakers “who agree with our new Malaysian agenda.”
However Pak Lah floundering amid mounting calls to resign so Anwar said, “the situation in Malaysia is uncertain at the moment, people don’t know when the prime minister is going and who will succeed him, so we will respond to this.” Anwar said.
If and when they remove Pak Lah, all hopes of reforms from BN’s side will also flounder. That’s the time to consider making the move.
Besides Mr. Lim, we are now beginning to see a great and real leader in Anwar – Melayu tulin.
As long as both are around for years to come, our country will gradually move to a united, modern and progressive multi racial and religious country.
Question:
Who does the IGP answer to on matters directly pertaining to incidents in the states politically controlled by the opposition? What about the Chief of Police? Who do they answer to or take their instructions from?
If Malaysia is a true federation, you’d have state police and state courts with their own state supreme courts – and their own state laws. As it is law enforcement, public order and internal security is with the police meaning PDRM, and its head the IGP answers directly to the Home Minister or whatever name he is called today.
“Things have gone a full circle (Anwar was prosecuted and convicted of abuse of power under TDM’s watch).” Jeffrey
What goes around, comes around – and, yep that’s the way it goes!
BN, esp. UMNO is desperately fighting hard to retain its ‘existing business’, it is up to PR to end their self-interest policy. They use NEP to feather their nests. They are so use to their corrupted tactics they could see no wrong in them. As such, they are still trying to find out why they lost so badly! They still believe that their corrupted ways are not seen by Malaysians. Based on this, you can really conclude their state of mind which certainly does not qualify them to rule any longer.
Dear YB LKS, YB DSAI & YB DSAHA,
Demanding equal rights for being Malaysian is not justified just because one is a citizen of Malaysia but the bigger responsibility of all Malaysian is defending the nation by joining the uniform units ie; by serving in the army, navy, air force, police force, ministry of health, DCA, ACA, PSD and all other the public sectors by all races in Malaysia. The Pakatan Rakyat MP’s must draw up policies that will attract the common citizens that serving the country is the most honourable & divine service. The citizens would NOT want to see the taxpayers’ money is wasted unnecessarily due to wrong decisions by politicians. Citizens would want to see that sincere, hardworking, dedication, respect for each other fellow Malaysian are rewarded. The public sector must be attractive that even the private sector would want to join the government. The public sector MUST have the best people to run this country and politicians MUST support them regardless of their race. To achieve developed status country by 2020, this country MUST be defended to the last blood by all races not just Malays. We must give utmost priorities to citizens, instead of allowing foreigners ripping the wealth at the expense of Malaysian taxpayers. The politician must see that taxpayers are leaving in safe, peace & harmony environment, welfare state, good education & health policies, freedom of expression, etc. The politicians must go after the big sharks who evade taxes, go after power abusers, corrupt politicians & businessmen, officers both in private & public sectors, and NOT after the small fishes / the masses (monthly wage earner). Majority of the voters are monthly wage earners NOT businessmen or foreign investors. Taking care of our backyard, inside & outside and surrounding of our citizens MUST be the top of agenda. Not building longest bridge, tallest tower, biggest pig farm, sending astronauts to space, mission to artic & Antarctic, biggest dam, sophisticated government buildings (eg Putrajaya), many mosques or temples without worshippers. Thank you. May God bless you all.
“We must give utmost priorities to citizens, instead of allowing foreigners ripping the wealth at the expense of Malaysian taxpayers.”
You mean those Nepalese in the Hotel Services industry, Gurkhas in Security Services, Indonesian in building & construction industry. The cost of having these ppl. are cheap, the employer just have to provide them simple meals, accomodation, and pay a minimum wage of RM 200 per head. While they help to build our bridges, highway, and buildings, they also help Malaysian to save cost of building it. Hence, they deserve equal treatment as well. The sad things are, no matter how good they help Malaysia, the Malaysian still treated them like outsider. Those who benefit are the politicians who earn alot of commissions by approving these cheap foreigner workers.
