Selamat Pagi Malaysia.
We all want to live a better life. We want ethical and moral leaders, and we want the rule of law to prevail. If we can live a better life elsewhere, and we can leave for that better place, we leave. If we cannot leave, we must manage to the best of our abilities, and when we can, we work for change to happen.
Change is happening in Malaysia.
Najib and Rosmah are now convicted felons. One is already in jail, and the other will soon follow. The political future of those among the Umno court cluster is over. The other corrupt politicians and everyone else complicit in the corruption who have yet to be arrested and charged for their misdeeds are running around the corridors of power like headless chickens.
But there is still confusion among us.
We have Zaid Ibrahim telling us that Najib has not been given a fair trial. We have the president of Umno urging the three million Umno members to ask Dollah to pardon Najib. Among the Opposition, there is confusion and no clarity of purpose or intent as PRU15 nears. A Judiciary that is merely doing its duty by making decisions without fear or favor are hailed as heroes. Police reports of every description are being made daily, and it makes you wonder if the Police would have any time to do anything else! And seven decades of Umno rule has created an enormous accumulation of vested interests that surely want the present political status quo of money politics, corruption, and greed to remain to protect their interests.
Change seems impossible, but this much we all now know.
History has taught us that Umno can be beaten at the polls. We know the opposition can win a general election. We now know that the ex-prime minister is not above the law. We know the royals are not above the law - sultans have settled with plaintiffs rather than be tried in their special courts, and we know that Kings have abdicated when faced with ethical and moral censure. Race and religion still dominate all things Malaysians, but they no longer extend their pervasive tentacles with impunity. The Muftis, Jakim, and other religious entities are being increasingly questioned about the things they do in the name of Islam. Hindu and Chinese single mothers do get custody of their children from their Muslim spouses. And the halal integrity, corruption, and questionable ethics and morality within Jakim that is impacting adversely upon Malaysian society and its politics are out in the open and Jakim is taken to task for these failings.
Change in Malaysia, is a work in progress, but what I have yet to see in Malaysia today is HOPE!
The HOPE that Pakatan Harapan gave to all of us going into PRU14 - the HOPE that change is possible.
HOPE was there at PRU14 because our leaders instilled in us that fundamental belief - that we the rakyat can be the agent for change. That we the rakyat, can decide our own destiny. There was nothing tangible in the early days going into PRU15 to make us think that change was possible because HOPE is not tangible....it is merely an idea.... an idea once planted in our consciousness can grow and make us believe anything is possible. An idea, whose time has come, cannot be stopped.
Someone must give Malaysian HOPE that PRU15 will be different. Someone must give Malaysian HOPE that good will again prevails over evil, as it did in PRU14.
Who will give us that HOPE?
BN/UMNO is the main toxicity and needed to be removed totally lest they contaminate the way of life of a healthy Malaysian Life. Says A Big NO To Asabiyah. Enough Is Enough... 🤔
Correction:.. Ph, pact of hopes..
The youths of today have experienced the bitterness of bad leadership of the past and have come up with better option, that of inclusiveness and that is already an indication of hope. Have you heard of it in the past SIX DECADES beside the token speeches, "we celebrate each other" 4-5 times celebration a year; hari raya, cny, deepavali, merdeka or during election time from the ruling party? What about the rest of the year? Six decades.. and we have been told nonsense - wrong to wish greetings/happiness instead. Is that inclusiveness?
Yes, the change started with PH, most of whom are much younger, the youths which was betrayed by the greed and selfishness of old time players without any…
PH was voted into power in GE 14.this was because PH convinced the rakyats that they were good and BN was bad.Turn out PH was bad experience for the rakyats. Today, BN are delivering on their promises.felda settlers are relieved and happy again,university students get free computers,farmers and fishermen are subsidised,ptptn borrowers need not pay back.civil and public sector wkg hrs are reduced,trade and fdi are on the rise.jobs are up and inflation is below 4.5%.soon BN may disqualify all their bad leaders from being candidates and may even ally with PN,PBM and GERAKAN. what hope has PH to offer? nitpicking,faultfinding,witchhunting and toxic politics may not work this time.🌋
