UMNO/BN wants to have 15GE during the monsoon season of heavy rain and grave floods so that voters do not know the importance of the 15GE

(Versi BM)

UMNO/Barisan Nasional leaders want to have the 15th General Election to be held during the monsoon season of heavy rain and grave floods so that Malaysian voters do not know the importance of the 15th General Election.

All my three ceramahs in Bau, Stampin and now Bandar Kuching were seriously affected by heavy rain, just like my talks in Bintangor and Sibu last night.

Without knowing the importance of the 15GE, UMNO/BN President, Zahid Hamidi hopes to become the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia by stealth.

Zahid is one of the four candidates to be the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia in the 15GE – the other three being Muhyiddin Yassin, President of Bersatu; Hadi Awang, President of PAS and Anwar Ibrahim, the head of Pakatan Harapan coalition of PKR, DAP, Amanah and UPKO.

Zahid is not worried about Malaysia losing out to more and more countries in the last six decades, as he only wants the 15GE to free UMNO and Barisan Nasional leaders from charges of corruption and being sent to jail.

Muhyiddin is the enemy of freedom and democracy, as he was the major mastermind of the Sheraton Move political conspiracy which toppled the Pakatan Harapan Government in February 2020 after only 22 months. His greatest fear when he was Prime Minister for 17 months was a no-confidence motion in Parliament, which was why illegally suspended Parliament using the excusd of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Hadi Awang is a political leader who has no respect for truth or right and wrong, continuing to spout the lies and falsehood that DAP is anti-Malay, anti-Islam, anti-Royalty and his latest discovery that DAP leaders like me are “communists”!

It would be interesting to know when Hadi discover that I am a communist.

I have been in Malaysian politics for 57 years, a Member of Parliament in five states, and Leader of Opposition for some 30 years.

How come I do not know that I am a communist, but Hadi knows?

How come Hadi knows what the Malaysian Special Branch did not know, for I would have been detained and eliminated long ago if the Special Branch knew that I was a communist.

Hadi’s allegation that I am a communist reflects more on him as a liar who has no scruples for what is right and wrong, rather than on me, for I have never been associated with the communist movement in my 57 years of political activities.

Clearly, Anwar Ibrahim as the head of Pakatan Harapan is head and shoulders above Zahid, Muhyiddin and Hadi, more suitable and qualified, to be the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia.

Only Anwar acknowledges that Malaysia had fallen from the position of one of the world’s best countries when Malaysia was formed in the sixties to a second-rate, mediocre and corrupt country, and we must not deteriorate further to become a failed, rogue state, a kleptocracy and kakistocracy in another three or four decades.

Malaysia is still save-able and worth saving – which is what the 15GE is all about.

How to get this message out to all the voters of Malaysia, regardless of race, religion or region in this monsoon season?

The heavy rain and serious floods have hampered the DAP and Pakatan Harapan efforts to explain to the voters the meaning of 15GE and why it is the most important general election in Malaysian history.

We need help.

I ask the voters of Malaysia to help the DAP and Pakatan Harapan to explain the importance of the 15GE to every voter so that our children and children’s children in three or four decades can live in a country which is among the best in the world and not a failed and rogue state, a kleptocracy and kakistocracy.

(Speech by DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang at the DAP 15th General Election ceramah in Kuching, Sarawak on Wednesday, 9th November 2022 at 9 pm)

UMNO/BN mahu PRU15 diadakan semasa musim tengkujuh dan banjir supaya pengundi tidak sedar kepentingan PRU15 ini

Para pemimpin UMNO/Barisan Nasional mahu Pilihan Raya Umum ke-15 diadakan semasa musim tengkujuh dengan hujan lebat dan bencana banjir supaya pengundi di Malaysia tidak sedar mengenai kepentingan pilihan raya umum ini.

Ketiga-tiga ceramah saya di Bau, Stampin, dan sekarang di Bandar Kuching terjejas dengan hujan lebat, seperti mana ceramah-ceramah saya di Bintangor dan Sibu malam semalam.

Tanpa kesedaran mengenai kepentingan PRU15, Presiden UMNO/BN, Zahid Hamidi, berharap dia dapat menjadi Perdana Menteri Malaysia yang ke-10 secara senyap-senyap.

Zahid adalah seorang dari empat calon Perdana Menteri Malaysia yang ke-10 – tiga orang lagi calon adalah Presiden Bersatu, Muhyiddin Yassin, Presiden PAS, Hadi Awang, dan Anwar Ibrahim, Pengerusi gabungan Pakatan Harapan yang terdiri dari PKR, DAP, Amanah, dan UPKO.

Zahid tidak bimbang mengenai perihal Malaysia terus ditinggalkan di belakang lebih banyak negara dalam enam dekad yang lepas kerana dia hanya mahukan PRU15 untuk melepaskan para pemimpin UMNO dan Barisan Nasional dari didakwa atas tuduhan rasuah di mahkamah dan dihantar ke penjara.

Muhyiddin pula adalah musuh kepada kebebasan dan demokrasi, memandangkan dialah dalang di sebalik konspirasi Langkah Sheraton yang telah menumbangkan kerajaan Pakatan Harapan pada Februari 2020 selepas 22 bulan mentadbir. Ketakutan terbesarnya semasa menjadi Perdana Menteri selama 17 bulan adalah undi tidak percaya di Parlimen, yang menyebabkan dia menggantung sidang Parlimen secara haram menggunakan alasan pandemik Covid-19.

Hadi Awang pula ada seorang pemimpin politik yang tidak menghormati kebenaran atau beza di antara perkara yang betul dan salah, dia berterusan menyebarkan penipuan dan fitnah yang kononnya DAP anti-Melayu, anti-Islam, anti-Raja dan baru-baru ini kononnya pemimpin DAP seperti saya pula “komunis”!

Menarik untuk diketahui bilakah Hadi mula mendapati yang saya ini seorang komunis.

Saya telah terlibat dalam politik di Malaysia selama 57 tahun, menjadi Ahli Parlimen di lima negeri berbeza dan menjadi Ketua Pembangkang selama 30 tahun.

Bagaimana saya sendiri tidak tahu yang saya seorang komunis tetapi Hadi tahu?

Bagaimana Hadi dapat tahu perkara yang Cawangan Khas sendiri pun tidak tahu, jika Cawangan Khas tahu, sudah tentu saya akan ditahan dan dihapuskan dari politik sejak dari dahulu lagi.

Tuduhan Hadi yang mengatakan saya seorang komunis ini mencerminkan peribadinya sebagai seorang penipu yang tidak hormat terhadap kebenaran, dan bukannya mengenai saya, kerana saya tidak pernah terkait dengan pergerakan komunis dalam 57 tahun aktiviti politik saya.

Jelas sekali, Anwar Ibrahim sebagai Pengerusi Pakatan Harapan, jauh berada di hadapan Zahid, Muhyiddin, dan Hadi, jauh lebih sesuai dan layak untuk menjadi Perdana Menteri Malaysia yang ke-10.

Hanya Anwar sahaja yang mengakui yang Malaysia telah jatuh dari kedudukan sebagai salah satu negara terbaik semasa negara kita mula-mula dibentuk pada tahun 60-an kepada sebuah negara biasa-biasa yang korup, dan hanya Anwar yang mengakui bahawa kita tidak boleh membiarkan negara kita terus merosot menjadi sebuah negara gagal, sebuah kleptokrasi dan kakistokrasi, dalam tiga ke empat dekad yang akan datang.

Malaysia masih boleh dan patut diselamatkan – inilah makna sebenarnya PRU15.

Bagaimana untuk kita sampaikan mesej ini kepada semua pengundi di Malaysia, tanpa mengira kaum, agama, atau kawasan, dalam musim tengkujuh ini?

Hujan lebat dan bencana banjir telah menghalang usaha DAP dan Pakatan Harapan untuk menjelaskan makna dan kepentingan PRU15 kepada para pengundi dalam sejarah negara.

Kami perlukan bantuan.

Saya minta semua pengundi di Malaysia untuk membantu DAP dan Pakatan Harapan untuk menjelaskan kepada semua pengundi tentang kepentingan PRU15 ini, supaya tiga ke empat dekad dari sekarang, anak-anak dan cucu-cucu kita dapat hidup dalam negara yang boleh dikira sebagai yang terbaik di dunia dan bukannya sebuah negara gagal yang merupakan sebuah kleptokrasi dan kakistokrasi.

Disaster  to give MCA which fields 44 parliamentary candidates with 17 new faces  a chance when the chance should be given to our children and children’s children to ensure that Malaysia will be restored as  a world-class great nation in 30-40 years’ time

The MCA, which fields 44 parliamentary candidates with 17 new faces, is asking the voters to give the MCA candidates a chance and to drop them in the next general election if they fail to live up to the voters’ standards.

I think It would a disaster to give MCA parliamentary candidates  a chance when the chance should be given to our children and children’s children to ensure that Malaysia will be restored as  a world-class great nation in 30 or 40 year’ time.

The 15th General Election is probably the last chance to save Malaysia from  becoming a failed and rogue kleptocratic state.  It will take 30 or 40 years for Malaysia to become a failed and rogue state like Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe but we must start the process  in the 15th General Election to save Malaysia and prevent it from deteriorating further whether in politics, economics, education, employment, housing, culture and sports.

In the early years of Malaysia, the nation was the richest country in Asia apart from Japan. Today, more than six decades later, we have lost out to Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea and Vietnam, and if we continue at this rate, we will lose out to more countries in the coming years and decades.

In 1965, one Singapore dollar was equal to one Malaysian ringgit. Fifty-seven years later, in 2022, one Singapore dollar is equal to RM3.39.  Does this show the success or failure of Malaysian nation-building?

A few decades ago, Malaysia was regarded as head and shoulders above China, India and Indonesia in having a good government in the battle against corruption.  But China is likely to overtake Malaysia in the annual  Transparency International (TI) Corruption Perception Index (CPI) before 2030 and Indonesia and India will overtake Malaysia in the TI CPI before 2040.

Why is this so? Why is corruption and abuses of power so prevalent in Malaysia, and will soon be worse than China, Indonesia and India?

The reason why Malaysia is straggling behind other nations is because we have not got a good government in Putrajaya for more than a decade – corruption and abuses of power have become more widespread and rampant in recent years.

It is time to instal a good Federal government in Putrajaya, fight corruption and abuses of power, and end the trend where financial scandals explode form RM100 million in the Bank Rakyat scandal in 1979 to RM50 billion 1MDB scandal in 2010 under the premiership of Najib Razak 30 years later.

If Zahid Hamidi, President of UMNO/Barisan Nasional wins and becomes the Prime Minster, Malaysia will surely become a third-rate failed and rogue kleptocfatic state in another three or four decades, and financial scandals will explode in the region of RM300 billion to RM500 billion in another three or four decades.

Zahid is incapable of leading a good government – nor can Muhyiddin head a good government as shown by the mishandling of the Covid-19 pandemic during Muhyiddin’s time as “backdoor” Prime Minister, where so many Malaysians were infected with Covid and even died, causing Malaysia to be one of the worst-performing nations in handling the Covid-19 pandemic.

Hadi Awang is even worse than Zahid Hamidi and Muhyiddin Yassin, as Hadi is capable of telling lies and untruths which gives Islam a bad name in Malaysia.

I am still waiting for Hadi to produce proof  for his litany of lies about the DAP – that the DAP is anti-Malay, anti-Islam, anti-Royalty and lately that the DAP and I are communists.

I have been a Member of Parliament for close to 50 years and Leader of Opposition for some 30 years. Could I be a communist, as alleged by Hadi?

When did Hadi know more about communists in Malaysia than the Special Branch in Malahsia?

Zahid, Muhyiddin and Hadi cannot lead a good government, but Anwar Ibrahim, the Pakatan Harapan candidate can lead a good government, reverse the process of deterioration of Malaysia from a first-rate world-class country to a second-rate mediocre country, and prevent Malaysia from becoming a third-rate failed and rogue kleptocratic state in another three or four decades.

We have over a million Malaysians in United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand to help make these nations great when they should remain in Malaysia to make Malaysia great.

This is what the 15GE on Nov. 19 is all about – to have a good government in Putrajaya to make Malaysia great again by returning to the  original nation-building principles – constitutional monarchy, parliamentary democracy, separation of powers, public integrity with minimum of corruption, good governance and respect for human rights.

If we miss this opportunity in the 15GE to save Malaysia, Malaysia will start the process to sink to the level of a third-rate failed, rogue and kleptocratic state in three or four decades and we may spark a Second Malaysia Diaspora in the world. We will end up like Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe.

MCA candidates do not deserve a second chance, as our children and children’s children deserve a second chance to make Malaysia a great world-class plural nation.

Has any of the 44 MCA parliamentary candidates condemned the 1MDB scandal and UMNO leaders becoming more and more corrupt.

The 44 MCA parliamentary candidates not only dare not condemn the 1MDB scandal and the corruption of UMNO and Barisan Nasional leaders, they don’t even acknowledge that in the last six decades, Malaysia has deteriorated from a first-rate world-class country to a second-rate mediocre country!

For this reason, we must give a chance to our children and children’s children and not to the 44 parasitic MCA candidates.

Odyssey of a Malaysia patriot in search of the Malaysia Dream of Malaysia as among the best nations in the world

(Versi BM)

I am 81 years old and am not a candidate for the 15th Malaysian parliamentary general election on Nov. 19, 2022.

For the first time in 53 years since the 1969 general election, I was outside the Nomination Day centre as only three persons were allowed into the Nomination Centre – the candidate, the proposer and the seconder of which I was not one of the three.

I spent the one-hour nomination on November 5, 2022 going over my 57 years in Malaysian politics, whether I have wasted my whole life.

In school two events impressed me considerably:

Firstly, the general Yue Fei, whose mother tattooed on his back the four words, jin Zhong boa guo盡忠報國 (‘serve the country with the utmost loyalty’), but the country here is Malaysia and not China.

Secondly, the story of Wen Tianxiang 文天祥 and his immortal words,

人生自古誰無死

留取丹心照汗青

。

(Humans, since antiquity, have all found death;

(Leave our red hearts to shrine in the writ of history)
 or

(What man is ever immune from death?

(Leave me with a loyal heart shining in the pages of history)

I saw the film ‘Soul of Nation” twice, first when I was in school, the second time when I was detained for the first time under the Internal Security Act and was incarcerated in the Muar Detention Centre.

That was when I was 18 and 28 years old (as I was elected MP for Bandar Melaka and detained for the first time under the ISA when I was 28 years old) respectively, but looking back my 57 years in Malaysian politics when I am now 81 years old, Wen Tianxiang’s immortal words take on a different meaning.

When you are 18 or 28 years old, Wen Tiangxiang’s immortal words served as ideals and objectives in life, but when you are 81 years old, they served as a yardstick to judge whether you have wasted your life or made the best use of it.

I think this is particularly relevant for the 15th General Election, which is probably the most important and critical general election in Malaysian history.

This is probably the last chance to save Malaysia from deteriorating from among the best nations in the world to a second-rate mediocre country, and deteriorating further to become a third-rate failed and rogue kleptocratic state in another 30 to 40 years.

The questions voters in Malacca and Malaysia must ask themselves before Polling Day on Nov. 19 is whether Malaysia is save-able and secondly, whether Malaysia is worth saving.

In the early years of Malaysia, the nation was among the best countries in the world. We were the most prosperous country in Asia, apart from Japan, but along the way in the six decades, we have lost our way and we have lost out to Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea and Vietnam, and if we continue at this rate, we will lose out to more countries in the coming years and decades.

In 1965, one Singapore dollar was equal to one Malaysian ringgit. Fifty-seven years later, in 2022, one Singapore dollar is equal to RM3.39. Does this show the success or failure of Malaysian nation-building?

A few decades ago, Malaysia was regarded as head and shoulders above China, India and Indonesia in having a good government in the battle against corruption. But China is likely to overtake Malaysia in the annual Transparency International (TI) Corruption Perception Index (CPI) before 2030 and Indonesia and India will overtake Malaysia in the TI CPI before 2040.

Why is this so? Why is corruption and abuses of power so prevalent in Malaysia, and will soon be worse than China, Indonesia and India?

Why is Singapore great and world-class?

One of the reasons is because of Malaysians who went to Singapore because they cannot find justice and dignity in Malaysia and went to Singapore to help make Singapore great and world-class.

We have over a million Malaysians in UK, United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand to help make these nations great when they should remain in Malaysia to make Malaysia great.

This is what the 15GE on Nov. 19 is all about – to have a good government in Putrajaya to make Malaysia great again by returning to the original nation-building principles – constitutional monarchy, parliamentary democracy, separation of powers, public integrity with minimum of corruption, respect for human rights, and most important of all, recognition that Malaysia can be great and world-class only if the government can unite Malaysians from all races, religions and regions in the country.

In the 15th General Election, the voters will decide whether we have a good government in Putrajaya and whether Anwar Ibrahim will be the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia.

The other candidates for the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia are Zahid Hamidi of UMNO/Barisan Nasional, Muhyiddin Yassin or Hadi Awang of Perikatan Nasional depending on whether Bersatu or PAS wins more parliamentary seats in the 15GE.

Zahid has made it clear in his speech at the MIC Assembly on Oct. 10 that the primary agenda of UMNO and Barisan Nasionnal is the free UMNO and BN leaders from being charged in court for corruption and being sent to jail. Let the voters in the 15GE make their stand clear: Malaysians must fight corruption and those who are corrupt must go to jail.

This is proof that Zahid’s subsequent talk of “stability” and “prosperity” in the Barisan Nasional had not credibility, as up to now, nether Zahid, UMNO, MCA or MIC had ever condemned the 1MDB scandal which had made Malaysia a “kleptocracy at its worst”.

Muhyiddin is a major figure in the Sheraton Move political conspiracy which toppled the Pakatan Harapan Government in 22 months while Hadi Awang has shown he has no compunction to tell lies and falsehoods – as accusing the DAP falsely of being anti-Malay, anti-Islam, anti-Royalty and lately being communist – for his political interests.

Zahid, Muhyiddin and Hadi had never admitted that Malaysia is losing out to more and more countries, including OIC (Organisation of Islamic Conference) Muslim nations.

Only Anwar has the vision and commitment to make Malaysia great again by recognising and uniting Malaysians in a multi-racial, multi-lingual, multi-cultural and multi-religious nation, firstly by having a good government in Putrajaya, secondly, fight corruption and abuses of power, and thirdly, make Malaysia a great world-class plural nation.

If we miss this opportunity in the 15GE to save Malaysia, Malaysia will start the process to sink to the level of a third-rate failed, rogue and kleptocratic state in three or four decades and we may spark a Second Malaysia Diaspora in the world. We will end up like Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe.

This is why there must be a high voter-turnout to ensure that there is a good government in Putrajaya and Anwar Ibrahim is elected the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia.

On looking back, my 57 years in Malaysian politics is like an Odyssey of a Malaysia patriot in search of the Malaysia Dream of Malaysia among the best nations in the world. Regardless of age, we must give every ounce of our energy to realise the Malaysian Dream for all Malaysians.

(Speech by DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang at the DAP 15th General Election ceramah in Kota Melaka on Thursday, 10 November 2022 at 9 pm)

Pengembaraan seorang rakyat Malaysia patriotik dalam mengejar Impian Malaysia untuk menjadikan Malaysia salah satu negara yang terbaik di dunia

Saya berusia 81 tahun dan saya bukan seorang calon parlimen untuk Pilihan Raya Umum ke-15 pada 19 November 2022 ini.

Untuk pertama kali dalam 53 tahun sejak Pilihan Raya Umum 1969, saya berada di luar Pusat Penamaan Calon memandangkan hanya tiga orang sahaja dibenarkan masuk ke dalam Pusat Penamaan Calon – calon, pencadang, dan penyokong, yang mana saya bukan salah seorang dari tiga orang ini.

Saya meluangkan masa satu jam semasa tempoh penamaan ini untuk merenung kembali 57 tahun hidup saya dalam politik Malaysia, sama ada saya telah membazirkan keseluruhan hidup saya.

Di sekolah, dua perkara meninggalkan kesan mendalam kepada saya:

Pertama, kisah general Yue Fei, yang mana ibunya telah mencacah empat perkataan, jin Zhong boa guo (berkhidmat untuk negara dengan penuh kesetiaan), tetapi negara di sini merujuk kepada Malaysia dan bukannya China.

Kedua, kisah Wen Tianxhiang dan kata-kata agungnya,

人生自古誰無死

留取丹心照汗青。

Manusia, sejak dari awal zaman, semuanya telah menemui kematian;

Tinggalkan hati keramat kita dalam naskhah sejarah.

Saya menonton filem ‘Soul of Nation’ sebanyak dua kali, pertama kali ketika saya di sekolah dan kali kedua ketika saya ditahan buat pertama kali di bawah Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri (ISA) di Pusat Tahanan Muar.

Saya menonton filem ini ketika berusia 18 dan 28 tahun (memandangkan saya diundi menjadi Ahli parlimen Bandar Melaka dan ditahan di bawah ISA ketika saya berusia 28 tahun), tetapi, mengenang kembali 57 tahun hidup saya dalam politik Malaysia ketika saya kini berusia 81 tahun, kata-kata Wen Tianxiang membawa maksud yang berbeza.

Semasa kita berusia 18 atau 28 tahun, kata-kata Wen Tianxiang ini menjadi ideal dan objektif dalam kehidupan. Tetapi, apabila kita sudah mencecah usia 81 tahun, kata-kata ini menjadi kayu ukur untuk melihat sama ada kita telah membazirkan hidup kita atau menggunakannya sebaik mungkin.

Saya percaya perkara ini amat relevan untuk Pilihan Raya Umum ke-15, yang mungkin merupakan pilihan raya umum yang paling penting dan kritikal dalam sejarah Malaysia.

PRU ini mungkin peluang terakhir untuk menyelamatkan Malaysia dari terus merosot dari antara sebuah negara yang terbaik di dunia kepada negara yang biasa-biasa sahaja, dan terus merosot lagi menjadi sebuah negara gagal dan kleptokratik dalam tiga atau empat dekad yang akan datang.

Persoalan yang perlu ditanya oleh para pengundi di Melaka dan Malaysia kepada diri mereka sendiri pada Hari Mengundi, 19 November 2022 ini, adalah sama ada Malaysia masih boleh diselamatkan dan masih patut diselamatkan.

Dalam tahun-tahun awal kita, Malaysia adalah antara negara yang terbaik di dunia. Kita adalah negara Asia yang paling makmur selain Jepun, tetapi dalam enam dekad yang lepas, kita telah tersalah arah dan ditinggalkan di belakang Taiwan, Singapura, Hong Kong, Korea Selatan, dan Vietnam, dan jika kita terus berada dalam keadaan yang sama, kita bakal ditinggalkan di belakang lebih banyak negara-negara lain dalam tahun dan dekad yang akan datang.

Pada tahun 1965, satu dolar Singapura adalah bersamaan dengan satu ringgit Malaysia. Lima puluh tujuh tahun kemudian, satu dolar Singapura sudah bersamaan dengan RM3.39. Adakah perkara ini menunjukkan kejayaan atau kegagalan usaha pembinaan negara Malaysia?

Beberapa dekad yang lepas, Malaysia dilihat sebagai berada jauh di hadapan China, India, dan Indonesia dalam mempunyai kerajaan yang bagus dalam melawan rasuah. Tetapi kini China berkemungkinan mengatasi kedudukan Malaysia dalam Indeks Persepsi Rasuah (CPI) Transparency International (TI) sebelum tahun 2030 manakala Indonesia dan India mungkin akan mengatasi kedudukan Malaysia dalam TI-CPI sebelum 2040.

Mengapakah begini? Mengapakah rasuah dan salah guna kuasa sebegitu berleluasa di Malaysia dan tidak lama lagi akan menjadi lebih teruk berbanding di China, Indonesia, dan India?

Mengapakah Singapura boleh jadi hebat?

Salah satu sebabnya adalah rakyat Malaysia yang telah berhijrah ke Singapura kerana mereka tidak dapat mencari keadilan dan kehidupan bermaruah di Malaysia, dan mereka memilih untuk ke Singapura dan dalam berbuat demikian, menjadikan Singapura sebuah negara yang hebat.

Kita ada lebih dari sejuta rakyat Malaysia di UK, Amerika Syarikat, Kanada, Australia, dan New Zealand yang sedang membantu menjadikan negara-negara ini hebat dan bukannya Malaysia.

Inilah perjuangan PRU15 pada 19 November 2022 – untuk meletakkan sebuah kerajaan yang baik di Putrajaya untuk menjadikan Malaysia hebat semula dengan mengembalikan negara kita kepada prinsip-prinsip asas pembinaan negara – raja berperlembagaan, demokrasi berparlimen, pemisahan kuasa, integriti awam dengan rasuah minima, hormat terhadap hak asasi manusia, dan yang paling penting sekali, mengiktiraf yang Malaysia hanya boleh menjadi sebuah negara hebat bertaraf dunia sekiranya kerajaan dapat menyatukan masyarakat majmuk pelbagai kaum, agama, dan kawasan dalam negara.

Dalam Pilihan Raya Umum ke-15, para pengundi akan menentukan sama ada kita akan dapat sebuah kerajaan yang baik di Putrajaya dan sama ada Anwar Ibrahim akan menjadi Perdana Menteri Malaysia yang ke-10.

Calon-calon Perdana Menteri ke-10 yang lain adalah Zahid Hamidi dari UMNO/Barisan Nasional, dan Muhyiddin Yassin atau Hadi Awang dari Perikatan Nasional, bergantung kepada siapa di antara Bersatu dan PAS yang meraih lebih banyak kerusi parlimen dalam PRU15.

Zahid telah mengatakan dengan jelas dalam ucapannya di Perhimpunan MIC pada 10 Oktober yang agenda utama UMNO dan Barisan Nasional adalah untuk melepaskan para pemimpin UMNO dan BN dari didakwa di mahkamah atas kesalahan rasuah dan dihantar ke penjara. Biarlah para pengundi dalam PRU15 menunjukkan dengan jelas yang kita semua menolak rasuah dan mereka yang korup perlu ke penjara.

Perkara ini menjadi bukti bahawa apa-apa yang Zahid kemudiannya katakan mengenai “kestabilan” dan “kemakmuran” dalam Barisan Nasional tidak mempunyai sebarang kredibiliti, kerana sehingga hari ini, baik Zahid, UMNO, MCA, atau MIC, semuanya masih belum mengutuk dan mengecam skandal 1MDB yang telah mencemarkan nama Malaysia di seluruh dunia sebagai “kleptokrasi dalam bentuk yang terburuk”.

Muhyiddin adalah dalang utama konspirasi Langkah Sheraton yang menumbangkan kerajaan Pakatan Harapan selepas 22 bulan manakala Hadi pula telah menunjukkan yang dia tidak mempunyai sebarang masalah untuk menyebarkan penipuan dan fitnah – menuduh DAP sebagai kononnya anti Melayu, Islam, dan Raja, dan baru-baru ini memfitnah DAP sebagai komunis – demi kepentingan politiknya sendiri.

Zahid, Muhyiddin, dan Hadi semua tidak pernah mengakui yang Malaysia semakin lama semakin ditinggalkan di belakang lebih banyak negara, termasuklah oleh negara-negara OIC yang lain.

Hanya Anwar sahaja yang mempunyai visi dan komitmen untuk menjadikan Malaysia hebat dengan mengiktiraf dan menyatu-padukan masyarakat Malaysia pelbagai kaum, bahasa, budaya, dan agama, dengan meletakkan kerajaan yang bagus di Putrajaya, memerangi rasuah dan salah guna kuasa, dan menjadikan Malaysia sebagai sebuah negara majmuk hebat yang bertaraf dunia.

Sekiranya kita terlepas peluang untuk menyelamatkan Malaysia dalam PRU15 ini, Malaysia akan mula merosot ke peringkat negara-negara gagal dan kleptokratik dalam tiga ke empat dekad dan kita mungkin akan memulakan Diaspora Malaysia kedua di dunia. Kita akan menerima nasib yang sama seperti Sri Lanka atau Zimbabwe.

Kerana inilah kita perlukan kadar keluar mengundi yang tinggi untuk memastikan adanya kerajaan yang baik di Putrajaya dan untuk memastikan Anwar Ibrahim dipilih sebagai Perdana Menteri Malaysia yang ke-10.

Mengenang kembali, 57 tahun kehidupan saya dalam politik Malaysia terasa seperti sebuah pengembaraan seorang rakyat Malaysia yang patriotik dalam mengejar Impian Malaysia untuk menjadikan Malaysia salah satu negara yang terbaik di dunia. Tanpa mengira umur, kita perlu kerahkan setiap kudrat yang ada untuk merealisasikan Impian Malaysia untuk semua rakyat Malaysia.

BN and PN leaders are offering Malaysians an impossible formula – that with more corruption, Malaysia will have stability and prosperity

Both Barisan Nasional (BN) and Perikatan Nasional (PN) leaders are offering Malaysians an impossible formula during the 15th General Election – that with more corruption, Malaysia will have stability and prosperity.

I invite the BN and PN leaders, in particular Zahid Hamidi, the  President of UMNO/BN and Muhyiddin Yassin the Bersatu President and Hadi Awang the PAS President (who will be the leader of PN after 19th November 2022 will depend on whether Bersatu or PAS win the most parliamentary seats in the 15GE to tell Malaysians which  country in the world has stability and prosperity  because they have rampant corruption.

All three BN/PN leaders, Zahid, Muhyiddin and Hadi, have problematic stand on corruption.

Zahid is on video as declaring at the MIC Assembly on October 10, 2022 that  the 15GE is the “mother of all elections” to free UMNO/BN leaders from being charged in court for corruption and being sent to jail. He does not want to fight corruption, but fight the problem of UMNO/BN leaders from being charged in court for corruption and sent to jail.

I call on the voters of Malaysia to state clearly and loudly on Nov. 19, 2022, that leaders who are corrupt and abused their powers must be sent to jail.

Muhyiddin is not against corruption – but only opposed to the monstrous 1MDB scandal, for which he was sacked as Deputy Prime Minister  and Deputy UMNO President by Najib Razak and later sacked from UMNO.

This is why during his “backdoor premiership” from March 2020 to August 2021, the Transparency International (TI) Corruption Perception Index (CPI) 2021 dropped five spots to 62nd position out of 180 countries,  and scored 48 out of 100 points in the index, compared to its 2020 score of 51.

In  2020 the country ranked 57, while in 2019 it was placed at 51 with a score of 53 points.

In the first year of Pakatan Harapan government in 2018, Malaysia TI CPI was the best in 25 years, while TI CPI 2021 reflecting Muhyiddin’s “backdoor” premiership was the worst in 27 years. The TI CPI 2022 will be released in January 2023, reflecting Ismail Sabri’s second “backdoor premiership”, where I believe  Malaysia will suffer a further plunge.

This is powerful proof that corruption is rampant in the Malaysia  not just because of the 1MDB scandal as there is also a long catalogue of other  financial and corruption scandals apart from the 1MDB scandal.

As for Hadi, he has destroyed his commitment to  truth, justice and moderation by making all sorts of statements which are untrue – that DAP is anti-Malay, ant-Islam, anti-Royalty and his latest absurd allegation that DAP is communist.

Zahid, Muhyiddin and Hadi have no qualms if Malaysia falls lower and lower in future TI CPIs, even if China overtake Malaysia before 2030 and Indonesia and India overtake Malaysia in the decade after 2030.

Only the Pakatan Harapan candidate for the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim does not believe like the trio that stability and prosperity are  built on corruption and kleptocracy, as there is no such example in the world.

For this reason to make Malaysia one of the top 30 countries in the world for clean and honest government, and to build stability and prosperity, Anwar is head and shoulders above Zahid, Muhyiddin and Hadi to be the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia and head a clean and good Federal government in Putrajaya for a change.

Khairy is at least getting more realistic from his earlier ambition to become Malaysian Prime Minister before 40 years old

Khairy Jamaluddin is at least getting more realistic from his earlier ambition to become Malaysian Prime Minister before he was 40 years old.

At the present rate, if Khairy becomes Prime Minister he will be in the fifties.

In Sungei Buloh today, Khairy said he wanted to “cleanse” UMNO to bring it back its former glory.

Khairy is the first UMNO candidate to say that UMNO must change and return to the original nation-building principles of the first four UMNO Presidents, Onn Jaafar, Tunku Abdul Rahman, Razak Hussein and Hussein Onn.

But UMNO cannot return to the original nation-building principles, which among other things accepted the fact that Malaysia is a multi-racial, multi-lingual, multi-religious and multi-cultural nation, with only one reformer.

There must be one group of committed UMNO reformers and up to now, nobody can see such a group.

Khairy said he wanted to bring change to UMNO and want Umno to be seen again as a noble vessel for the Malay community.

He said: “Nowadays, many people meet and tell me it’s not that they don’t like Umno but they don’t like some (individuals) in Umno.”

But is there a group of leaders in UMNO who want UMNO not to  be identified with corruption and kleptocracy?

There is no doubt that UMNO has today changed its character  from that  of the first four UMNO Presidents, Onn Jaafar, Tunku Abdul Rahman, Razak Hussein and Hussein Onn.

None of them will countenance Malaysia becoming a kleptocracy with it infamy world-wide, let alone “kleptocracy at its worst”.

In 1979, at the UMNO General Assembly, the then Prime Minister, Hussein Onn warned that Malaysia will be destroyed if its leaders are “dishonest, untrustworthy and corrupt” and expressed the hope that the Bank Rakyat scandal would be a “bitter lesson to other government institutions and agencies including companies and subsidiaries set up by the Government”.

But Hussein Onn’s warning were not heeded, and we have  a RM50 billion 1MDB scandal and an UMNO leader who was the sixth Prime Minister who was sent to jail to serve his 12-year jail sentence and RM210 million fine.

From a RM100 million Bank Rakyat scandal in 1979, we have graduated to a RM50 billion 1MDB scandal three decades later.

Will it increase 10 times to a RM500 billion scandal if UMNO does not completely divorce itself from corruption and kleptocracy and  is returned to power in the 15GE?

UMNO is never so divided partly because UMNO members have to defend corruption and UMNO leaders have no money

We are  in the mid-point of the 15th General Election, and there is one more week to go before Polling, and various  issues are becoming clear.

Firstly, UMNO is never so divided partly because UMNO members have to defend corruption and UMNO leaders have no money.

There is no 1MDB money like in the last two general election in 2013 and 2018, when money flowed like water because of the 1MDB scandal and Malaysian taxpayers have to pay for such misuse of money and the mega monstrous 1MDB scandal resulting in Malaysia still owing RM32.08 billion as at June 30, 2022 – according to  Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz in Parliament.

Malaysia will be still paying for the 1MDB debts after Najib Razak   his 12 years jail sentence in Kajang Prison – but the 15th GE will decide whether Najib will serve his full 12-year jail sentence or walk out of Kajang Prison as a free person.

In the early years of UMNO and the nation, UMNO condemned corruption. The first four UMNO Presidents, Onn Jaafar, Tunku Abdul Rahman, Razak Hussein and Hussein Onn would never have countenanced Malaysia becoming a kleptocracy.

In the early years of UMNO, Tunku Abdul Rahman sold his Penang house to fund UMNO and Tun Razak would not spend public funds to build  a swimming pool for his family, but today, UMNO members must defend the 1MDB scandal and corruption.

This has caused a deep divide  and psychosis in UMNO – for to be fighters of UMNO, the UMNO members have to  defend corruption.

Secondly, Wee Ka Siong is not Tun Tan Cheng Lock of MCA. Cheng Lock fought for the nation  although he was never a Minister. Ka Siong fought for his position to be a Cabinet Minister.

For 10 years, Ka Siong dared not question or condemn corruption and the 1MDB scandal, for fear of losing his Cabinet position.   Cheng Lock would have acted otherwise, for he would have no hesitation to condemn corruption and the 1MDB scandal if he had been alive.

Ka Siong would tell lies about the Opposition, and I have challenged him to prove what he had said about me. Ka Siong dared not respond and have lapsed into silence.

Cheng Lock would have been in the forefront to restore  Malaysia from a second-rate mediocre country into a great world-class plural nation, which Ka Siong opposes.

Why Liow Tiong Lai who was Bentong MP from 1999-2018, MCA President and Transport Minister never raised a finger to stop Malaysia from being “kleptocracy at its worst” or even once condemned the monstrous 1MDB scandal?

Liow Tiong Lai, who has returned to Malaysian politics by being the Barisan Nasional candidate for Bentong in the 15th General Election, must explain why as Bentong MP from 1999-2018, MCA President and Transport Minister, he had never raised a finger to stop Malaysia from being “kleptocracy at its worst” or even once condemned the  monstrous 1MDB scandal.

This is a question which had always mystified me and I had no opportunity to ask this question.

Now that Tiong Lai has made a come-back in Malaysian politics, this is the first question he should enlighten the Malaysian public.

How could Malaysian political leaders and Ministers, like Liow Tiong Lai,  be not aware that the 1MDB scandal is one of the major corruption scandals in the world when the world press were full of reports on the 1MDB corruption for years?

If not for the 14GE on May 9, 2018 which toppled the UMNO/BN government, the 1MDB scandal will still be with us, putting Malaysia into greater debts.

But the 1MDB scandal is still with us, for our children and  children’s children  will have to pay the national debts caused by the 1MDB scandal.

Now the former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak is serving his 12-year jail sentence  for some of his 1MDB corruption scandals, this lead to the question why UMNO/BN leaders and Ministers in the Najib Razak government had aided and abetted Najib in the 1MDB corruption crimes.

I call on every Minister in the Najib Cabinet to explain what each had done to stop the 1MDB  scandal or to make a confession how he or she  had aided and abetted in the 1MDB corruption crime.

All the Najib Ministers had failed Malaysia in not stopping the 1MDB corruption scandal, and unless they clear themselves, they should not  be standing as candidates in the 15th General Election and should withdraw their candidature before Nov. 19, 2022.

Hadi is providing more reasons  everyday why he is unfit to be Prime Minister of plural Malaysia regardless of the number of PAS MPs elected on Nov. 19

(Versi BM)

There are four candidates to be the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia – Zahid Hamidi the UMNO/Barisan Nasional Chairman, Muhyiddin Yassin the President of Bersatu, Hadi Awang the President of PAS and Anwar Ibrahim the President of Pakatan Harapan.

There is no fifth candidate for the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia – not even Ismail Sabri, although he is the “poster boy” of the UMNO/BN coalition in the 15th General Election.

I do not believe Ismail Sabri himself privately thinks that he is going to be the Prime Minister after the 15th General Election should UMNO/BN win the general election, seeing how his UMNO Ministers were culled and not put up as candidates, and the recent statement by Zahid that it is the unquestioned prerogative of the Yang di Pertuan Agong to decide who is the Prime Minister.

The voting on Polling Day on 19th November will decide who, between Muhyiddin and Hadi, will be the contender for the post of the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia for Perikatan Nasional – depending on whether Bersatu or PAS wins the more parliamentary seats.

As for the Gerakan, I expect all of them to lose in the 15th General Election, the question is how many of the Gerakan candidates will lose their deposits.

But Hadi is providing more reasons every day why he is unfit to be Prime Minister of Malaysia, regardless of the number of PAS MPs elected on Nov. 19.

A Malaysian Prime Minister must be a man of his words and a model of integrity and probity. He cannot be openly spreading lies and untruths,

He accused the DAP of being anti-Malay, anti-Islam and anti-Royalty. Has he got any proof and why he has not produced the proof?

Recently, he made frequent attacks on the DAP, even alleging that the DAP leaders are communist and Godless.

He alleged that Malay leaders contesting on DAP ticket as candidates in the 15th General Election are being used by the DAP to win Malay-Muslim votes.

He said:”I feel worried because many Malay candidates are being used by the DAP.

How can Hadi aspire to be Prime Miniseer when he is prepared to tell lies and does not understand the meaning of ordinary terms?

Does Hadi remember what he said during the Teluk Intan by-election in May 2014?

Hadi had praised Dyana Sofya Mohd Daud, the DAP candidate for the Teluk Intan by-election for making DAP her political party of choice despite being a Malay.

Abdul Hadi had hit back at detractors who have criticised PAS for choosing to partner DAP, saying PAS has more in common with DAP than with Umno.

He said: “We feel that Dyana is brave to be a candidate, more so a DAP candidate.”

Dyana’s detractors have labelled her a “traitor to her race” and an ingrate for joining DAP, especially when her mother herself is an Umno member.

Abdul Hadi reminded PAS members that DAP had helped PAS when the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition tried to oust the Islamist party from ruling Kelantan during the 1977 Kelantan Emergency.

He said although there are so many things different between DAP and PAS, like what is halal (permissible) and haram (forbidden), alcohol and pork, hudud, the two parties agree with each other in eradicating poverty, cruelty and corruption, among others.

Let Hadi tell Malaysians what happened after the Teluk Intan by-election in 2014, where PAS leadership did a somersault and decided they have more in common with UMNO, supporting Najib Razak and his 1MDB scandal?

Does Islam teach its leadders to tell lies and untruths and to co-operate with those guilty of corruption?

I do not think so. Like all great religions, Islam stands for truth, freedom and justice.

Hadi insults the intelligence and morality of DAP Malay leaders and candidates by alleging that they are used by the Chinese.

For Hadi’s information, in DAP we are all Malaysians, although we are also Malays, Chinese, Indians, Dayaks and Kadazans, or Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus and Christians but nobody makes use of another for his or her own interests.

DAP has produced a leader who had crossed the racial and religious divide to defend the dignity of an underaged Malay girl, paying the price of being jailed for it, in the person of Lim Guan Eng, the former Chief Minister of Penang.

Has PAS produced any leader who had gone to jail for the rights and dignity of a Malay, let alone cross the racial and religious divide to defend the rights and dignity of a Malaysian of another race or religion?

Hadi also does not understand the meaning of “secular”, for the word does not mean anti-religion or Godless, but as entrenched in the Malaysian Constitution and Rukun Negara where Islam is the religion of Malaysia but other religions can be practised freely and in peace.

It is unfortunate that Hadi is trying to interpret “secular” as ‘godless” or “anti-religion” when this has never been the meaning in Malaysia, as it stands for freedom of religion in Malaysia

Hadi accuses DAP leaders of being “communist”.

I have been a Member of Parliament for some 50 years and Parliamentary Leader of Opposition for some 30 years. I never knew I was a communist. When did Hadi discover that I am a communist .

I am interested to know what made me a communist after the Teluk Intan by-election in 2014.

The Special Branch does not know that I had been a communist. Did Hadi brief the Special Branch that I am a communist, with all the supporting documentation?

If not, Hadi has failed his duty as a citizen of Malaysia.

Instead of looking for factors and reasons to unite Malaysia of many races, religions, languages, cultures and regions, Hadi is trying to invent new reasons to divide Malaysians.

Is such a person fit to be the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia?

(Speech by DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang at the DAP 15th General Election ceramah at Sungei Dua, Bentong on Saturday, 12th November 2022 at 3 pm)

Hadi memberikan semakin banyak sebab setiap hari mengenai mengapa dia tidak sesuai untuk menjadi Perdana Menteri sebuah Malaysia yang majmuk

Terdapat empat orang calon Perdana Menteri Malaysia yang ke-10 – Pengerusi UMNO/Barisan Nasional, Zahid Hamidi; Presiden Bersatu, Muhyiddin Yassin; Presiden PAS, Hadi Awang; dan Presiden Pakatan Harapan, Anwar Ibrahim.

Tidak ada calon kelima untuk Perdana Menteri ke-10 – malah bukan juga Ismail Sabri walaupun dia adalah “poster boy” UMNO/BN dalam Pilihan Raya Umum ke-15 ini.

Saya tidak percaya yang Ismail Sabri sendiri merasakan yang dia akan menjadi Perdana Menteri selepas Pilihan Raya Umum ke-15 sekiranya UMNO/BN menang pilihan raya ini, melihat bagaimana Menteri-menteri UMNOnya dicantas dan tidak dicalonkan, dan kenyataan Zahid baru-baru ini yang mengatakan bahawa menjadi budi bicara Yang di Pertuan Agong untuk memutuskan siapa yang akan menjadi Perdana Menteri.

Pengundian pada Hari Mengundi, 19 November akan menentukan siapa, di antara Muhyiddin dan Hadi, yang akan menjadi pesaing utama untuk menjadi calon Perdana Menteri ke-10 Perikatan Nasional – bergantung kepada sama ada Bersatu atau PAS yang mendapat lebih banyak kerusi Parlimen.

Mengenai Gerakan pula, saya jangka semua calon mereka akan kalah dalam Pilihan Raya Umum ke-15 ini, persoalannya adalah berapa ramai calon Gerakan yang akan kehilangan deposit mereka.

Tetapi Hadi sedang memberikan semakin banyak sebab mengapa dia tidak sesuai untuk menjadi Perdana Menteri Malaysia, tak kiralah berapa banyak kerusi sekalipun dimenangi PAS pada 19 November ini.

Seorang Perdana Menteri Malaysia perlulah seorang berpegang kepada janjinya dan boleh menjadi tauladan integriti dan kejujuran. Dia tidak boleh menyebarkan penipuan dan fitnah sewenang-wenangnya.

Hadi telah menuduh DAP sebagai anti Melayu, Islam, dan Raja. Adakah dia mempunyai apa-apa bukti dan mengapa dia masih tidak menunjukkan sebarang bukti-bukti ini?

Baru-baru ini dia sering membuat serangan terhadap DAP, malah menuduh para pemimpin DAP sebagai komunis dan tidak percaya tuhan.

Dia menuduh para pemimpin Melayu yang bertanding di atas tiket DAP sebagai kononnya dipergunakan oleh DAP untuk memenangi undi Melayu-Islam.

Hadi mengatakan: “Saya bimbang kerana ramai calon Melayu dipergunakan DAP.

Bagaimanakah Hadi boleh bercita-cita untuk menjadi seorang Perdana Menteri apabila dia sewenang-wenangnya menabur fitnah dan tidak faham perkataan-perkataan mudah?

Adakah Hadi masih ingat mengenai apa yang dikatakannya dalam pilihan raya kecil Teluk Intan pada Mei 2014?

Hadi ketika itu memuji calon DAP untuk PRK Teluk Intan, Dyana Sofya Mohd Daud, kerana menjadikan DAP sebagai parti politik pilihannya walaupun seorang Melayu.

Abdul Hadi ketika itu membidas mereka yang mengkritik PAS kerana memilih untuk bekerjasama dengan DAP, mengatakan yang PAS mempunyai lebih banyak persamaan dengan DAP berbanding dengan UMNO.

Dia mengatakan: “Kita percaya Dyana berani untuk menjadi seorang calon, apatah lagi seorang calon DAP.”

Pihak lawan Dyana telah melabelnya sebagai “pengkhianat bangsa” dan tidak bersyukur kerana menyertai DAP, terutamanya memandangkan ibunya sendiri seorang ahli UMNO.

Abdul Hadi mengingatkan ahli-ahli PAS bahawa DAP telah membantu PAS semasa Barisan Nasional cuba untuk menumbangkan parti Islamis tersebut dari memerintah Kelantan semasa Darurat Kelantan 1977.

Dia mengatakan walaupun terdapat banyak perbezaan di antara DAP dan PAS, seperti mengenai apa yang halal dan haram, alkohol, khinzir, hudud, kedua-dua parti ini bersetuju bersama untuk menghapuskan perkara-perkara seperti kemiskinan, penindasan, dan rasuah.

Hadi patut memberitahu rakyat Malaysia apa yang berlaku selepas PRK Teluk Intan pada tahun 2014, di mana pimpinan PAS tiba-tiba memutuskan yang mereka mempunyai lebih banyak persamaan dengan UMNO, menyokong Najib Razak dan skandal 1MDB?

Adakah Islam mengajar pemimpinnya untuk menyebarkan fitnah dan penipuan dan untuk bekerjasama dengan mereka yang terlibat dengan rasuah?

Saya tidak rasa begitu. Seperti semua agama yang hebat, Islam menegakkan kebenaran, kebebasan, dan keadilan.

Hadi menghina kebijaksanaan dan moral pemimpin dan calon Melayu DAP dengan menuduh yang mereka dipergunakan oleh orang Cina.

Untuk makluman Hadi, dalam DAP, kita semua adalah rakyat Malaysia, walaupun pada masa yang sama kita adalah orang Melayu, Cina, India, Dayak, atau Kadazan, atau Islam, Buddha, Hindu, atau Kristian, tetapi tidak ada sesiapa yang mempergunakan sesiapa yang lain untuk kepentingan sendiri.

DAP telah melahirkan pemimpin yang melintasi garisan kaum dan agama untuk mempertahankan maruah seorang gadis Melayu bawah umur, yang dipenjara akibat usaha ini, dalam bentuk Lim Guan Eng, yang merupakan bekas Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang.

Adakah PAS telah melahirkan mana-mana pemimpin yang telah ke penjara untuk mempertahankan hak dan maruah seorang Melayu, apatah lagi melintasi garis pemisahan kaum dan agama untuk mempertahankan hak dan maruah seorang rakyat Malaysia yang berbeza kaum dan agama dengannya?

Hadi juga tidak memahami maksud “sekular”, kerana perkataan ini tidak bermakna anti-agama atau tidak bertuhan, tetapi seperti mana yang termaktub dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan dan Rukun Negara, di mana Islam adalah agama rasmi persekutuan tetapi agama-agama lain dapat diamalkan dengan bebas dan aman.

Amat malang apabila Hadi cuba untuk menafsir “sekular” sebagai “menolak tuhan” atau “anti-agama” sedangkan perkara ini tidak pernah dimaksudkan sebegini di Malaysia, kerana perkataan ini melambangkan kebebasan beragama di malaysia.

Hadi menuduh pemimpin DAP sebagai “komunis”.

Saya telah menjadi Ahli Parlimen selama lebih dari 50 tahun dan menjadi Ketua Pembangkang sekira 30 tahun sebelum ini. Saya tidak pernah tahu yang saya seorang komunis. Bilakah Hadi mendapat tahu yang saya ini komunis?

Saya berminat untuk tahu apakah perkara yang tiba-tiba menjadikan saya seorang komunis selepas PRK Teluk Intan pada tahun 2014?

Cawangan Khas PDRM tidak tahu yang saya kononnya seorang komunis. Hadi tidak memaklumkan Cawangan Khas yang saya komunis dengan segala bukti-bukti yang kononnya ada?

Sekiranya tidak, Hadi telah gagal dalam tanggungjawabnya sebagai rakyat Malaysia.

Hadi berterusan mencuba untuk mencari sebab-sebab baharu untuk terus memecah belah rakyat Malaysia dan bukannya mencari titik persamaan untuk menyatukan rakyat Malaysia yang berlatar belakang pelbagai kaum, agama, budaya dan kawasan.

Adakah seorang sebegini layak untuk menjadi Perdana Menteri Malaysia yang ke-10?

Muhyiddin is now attacking DAP because I did not support him to become Prime Minister when he approached me in 2016 before the formation of Bersatu as  DAP was committed to  working for Anwar Ibrahim as the Prime Minister

Bersatu President Muhyiddin Yassin is now attacking the DAP because I did not support him to become Prime Minister when he approached me in 2016 before the formation of Bersatu as DAP was committed to working for Anwar Ibrahim as Prime Minister.

I vividly remember the cloak-and-dagger condition under which Muhyiddin met me with the proposal, but I was unable to say “yes” as the DAP was committed to Anwar Ibrahim as the Prime Minister.

Muhyiddin cannot deny the meeting as there were witnesses to the secret meeting in Kuala Lumpur.

It is most unfortunate that Muhyiddin has now decided to attack the DAP for the DAP had given him all support as Home Minister during the 22-month Pakatan Harapan government, and the only thing we had not done was  for him to be the Prime Minister.

On looking back, it is rather “fishy” for the police to detain DAP leaders, including a  State executive councillor and a State Assemblyman, for alleged links and support of the Sri Lanka Tamil Tigers.

At that time, we thought that was a pure police operation, and that the police was wrong to link the DAP leaders with the Sri Lanka Tamil Tigers.

On looking back now, the detention of the DAP leaders for alleged links to Sri Lanka Tamil Tigers was not a pure police operation, but more a political operation of Muhyiddin and his allies which led to the Sheraton Move political conspiracy which toppled the Pakatan Harapan government in 22 months.

There would be no 1MDB scandal and Malaysia would not be regarded by the world  as a corrupt and kleptocratic country if MCA Ministers under Liow Tiong Lai were prepared to resign  from the Cabinet in protest against them

There would be no 1MDB scandal and Malaysia would not be regarded as a corrupt and kleptocratic country  by the world  if the three MCA Ministers under Liow Tiong Lai were prepared to resign from the Cabinet  in protest against them.

We are right to blame Najib Razak for turning Malaysia from a great world-class nation into a second-rate, mediocre and kleptocratic country in six decades and he must pay his proper deserts, having been sent to Kajang Prison  for his first batch of 1MDB  corruption misdeeds and crimes.

But the 1MDB scandal and Malaysia becoming a kleptocracy are impossible if we have God-fearing, honest and upright leaders in the upper reaches of Malaysian society, particularly in the cabinet.

I ask every Minister the Najib Cabinet what he or she had done to stop the 1MDB scandal and turning Malaysia into a kleptocracy.

The founding fathers of the nation,  like Onn Jaafar, Tengku  Abdul Rahman, Tun Razak and Tun Ismail, including Tun Tan Cheng Lock and ‘Tun Sambanthan would never countenanced Malaysia becoming a kleptocracy.

The question is why Liow Tiong Lai, as MCA President, and the three MCA Ministers, did not do  anything to stop the 1MDB scandal from happening.

Did the three MCA Ministers think keeping their Cabinet position as Ministers is more important than to ensure that Malaysia did not become a kleptocacy where there is rampant corruption in the country?

When I was in school, I was very impressed by two past stories, the story of Ye Fei and Wen Tiansiang.

Have Liow Tiong Lai and the other two MCA Ministers never heard of Ye Fei and Wen Tiansiang.

If only the three MCA Ministers have 10 per cent of the spirit and morality of Ye Fei and Wen Tiangsiang, Malaysia would not have become a second-rate mediocre country which is regarded by the world as a kleptocracy.

Call on Malaysian voters in Sabah, Sarawak and  Peninsular Malaysia to unite to create a second political miracle in the 15th General Election to show the difference between  the Malaysian voters and Najib Razak

(Versi BM)

I call on the Malaysian voters in Sabah, Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia to unite to create a second political miracle in the 15th General Election on 19th November 2022 to show the difference between the Malaysian voters and the former Prime Minister, Najib Razak and to restore Malaysia as a great world-class plural nation in another three or four decades.

The first political miracle happened during the 14th General Election on May 9, 2018 when the Malaysian voters astounded the world and ended the UMNO/Barisan National political hegemony.

Are Malaysian voters capable of a second political miracle to make Anwar Ibrahim as the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia?

Malaysia started as one of the richest nations in Asia, but in the last six decades, we have lost out to other countries – Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea and Vietnam because we do not have a good government in Putrajaya with corruption and abuses of power becoming more rampant than other countries until we were regarded as a kleptocracy by the world.

In 1965, one Singapore dollar was equal to one Malaysian ringgit. Today, one Singapore dollar is equal to RM3.39 – highlighting the failure of Malaysia in nation-building and in not having a good government in Putrajaya.

Sabah cannot become great and world-class, unless Malaysia becomes great and world-class. There is no way that Sabah can escape the consequences if Malaysia continues to deteriorate from a second-rate mediocre country today to become a third-class failed and rogue kleptocratic state in 30 or 40 years’ time like Sri Lanka or Zimbabwe.

Anwar Ibrahim, the Pakatan Harapan candidate to be the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia, is the only candidate in the 15th General Election who can make Malaysia great again, as the other candidates for the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia – Zahid Hamidi of UMNO/Barisan National coalition; Muhyiddin Yassin, President of Bersatu and Hadi Awang, the PAS President – will see more corruption, more abuses of power and Malaysia’s continued decline as a nation until Malaysia become a failed and rogue kleptocratic state in another three or four decades.

When he was Prime Minister, Najib Razak shamed Malaysia with the monstrous 1MDB financial scandal and other mega scandals, left Malaysia with some RM40 billion 1MDB national debts which have to be paid by our children and children’s children in the next three or four decade, and downgraded Malaysia from a world-class great plural nation into the only kleptocracy in South-East Asia.

We have to undo the wrongs to the country which was done by Najib Razak, and we must start with the 15th General Election.

Let us show that we are different from Najib. Najib made our children and children’s children pay the tens of billions of 1MDB debts, but the ordinary people of Sabah, Sarawak and Malaya voted on November 19 to start the process -which will take 30 or 40 years – for Malaysia to return to the status of a great world-class plural nation!

Let us show we are different from Najib.

Najib made our children and children’s children pay for the tens of billion of 1MDB debts after stealing public funds for his family and cronies but the people of Malaysia from Sabah, Sarawak and Malaysia must vote in the 15th General Election on Nov. 19 to start the long and painful process to stop Malaysia’s decline from first-rate to second-rate, and continuing to decline to third-rate failed state in another 30 or 40 years.

Let patriotic Malaysians unite on Nov. 19 to stop Malaysia’s continued decline and ensure that Malaysia can become a great world-class nation in another 30 or 40 years.

For this reason, I urge the Batu Sapi voters to vote for the DAP candidate in this constituency and send Liau Fui Fui as the Member of Parliament on Nov. 19, 2022.

(Speech by DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang at the Pakatan Harapan 15GE ceramah in Batu Sapi parliamentary constituency on Sunday, 13th November 2022 at 7 pm)

Seruan kepada semua pengundi di Sabah, Sarawak, dan Semenanjung untuk mencipta keajaiban politik kedua dalam Pilihan Raya Umum ke-15 untuk menunjukkan beza di antara kita sebagai pengundi Malaysia dan Najib Razak

Saya menyeru kepada semua pengundi di Sabah, Sarawak, dan Semenanjung Malaysia untuk bersatu padu dan mencipta keajaiban politik kedua dalam Pilihan Raya Umum ke-15 pada 19 November 2022 untuk menunjukkan beza di antara pengundi Malaysia dan bekas Perdana Menteri, Najib Razak, dan untuk mengembalikan Malaysia ke arah menjadi sebuah negara majmuk hebat bertaraf dunia dalam tiga ke empat dekad yang akan datang.

Keajaiban politik yang pertama telah berlaku semasa Pilihan Raya Umum ke-14 pada 9 Mei 2018 apabila para pengundi di Malaysia mengejutkan dunia dengan menamatkan hegemoni politik UMNO/Barisan Nasional.

Adakah para pengundi di Malaysia mampu untuk mewujudkan keajaiban politik kedua untuk mengangkat Anwar Ibrahim sebagai Perdana Menteri Malaysia yang ke-10?

Malaysia bermula sebagai salah sebuah negara terkaya di Asia, tetapi dalam enam dekad yang lepas, kita telah ditinggalkan di belakang banyak negara-negara lain – Taiwan, Singapura, Hong Kong, Korea Selatan, dan Vietnam kerana kita tidak ada kerajaan yang bagus di Putrajaya, sebaliknya, rasuah dan salah guna kuasa terus berleluasa berbanding dengan negara-negara lain sehinggalah kita dikenali sebagai sebuah kleptokrasi di seluruh dunia.

Pada tahun 1965, satu dolar Singapura bersamaan dengan satu Ringgit Malaysia. Hari ini, satu dolar Singapura bersamaan dengan RM3.39 – menunjukkan kegagalan Malaysia dalam usaha membina negara bangsa dan kerana tidak ada kerajaan yang baik di Putrajaya.

Sabah tidak boleh menjadi hebat dan bertaraf dunia melainkan Malaysia juga menjadi hebat dan bertaraf dunia. Tidak ada cara untuk Sabah lari dari akibatnya sekiranya Malaysia terus merosot menjadi sebuah negara gagal dan kleptokratik dalam 30 ke 40 tahun yang akan datang seperti Sri Lanka atau Zimbabwe.

Anwar Ibrahim, calon Perdana Menteri ke-10 Pakatan Harapan, adalah satu-satunya calon dalam PRU15 yang mampu menjadikan Malaysia hebat semula. Calon-calon lain yang bercita-cita untuk menjadi Perdana Menteri Malaysia yang ke-10 – Zahid Hamidi dari UMNO/Barisan Nasional, Presiden Bersatu, Muhyiddin Yassin, atau Presiden PAS Hadi Awang – hanya akan menyaksikan lebih banyak rasuah, salah guna kuasa, dan kemerosotan Malaysia sebagai sebuah negara sehinggalah Malaysia menjadi sebuah negara gagal dan kleptokratik dalam tiga ke empat dekad dari sekarang.

Semasa menjadi Perdana Menteri, Najib Razak telah membawa malu kepada Malaysia dengan skandal gergasi 1MDB dan skandal-skandal mega yang lain, meninggalkan legasi hutang 1MDB sebanyak RM40 billion yang perlu ditanggung oleh anak-anak dan cucu-cucu kita dalam tiga ke empat dekad yang akan datang, dengan martabat kita sebagai sebuah negara majmuk hebat jatuh kepada sebuah kleptokrasi di Asia Tenggara.

Kita perlu perbetulkan banyak perkara salah yang telah dilakukan oleh Najib Razak, dan kita perlu bermula dengan Pilihan Raya Umum ke-15.

Marilah kita tunjukkan kepada dunia yang kita ini berbeza dengan Najib. Najib telah menyebabkan anak-anak dan cucu-cucu menanggung hutang 1MDB yang berpuluh billion, tetapi rakyat di Sabah, Sarawak, dan Malaya pada 19 November akan mengundi untuk memulakan proses – yang akan mengambil masa 30 ke 40 tahun – untuk Malaysia kembali menjadi sebuah negara majmuk hebat bertaraf dunia!

Marilah kita tunjukkan yang kita berbeza dengan Najib.

Najib telah membebankan anak-anak dan cucu kita dengan berpuluh billion ringgit hutang 1MDB selepas mencuri daripada dana awam untuk keluarga dan kroninya, tetapi rakyat Malaysia dari Sabah, Sarawak, dan seluruh Malaysia perlu mengundi dalam Pilihan Raya Umum ke-15 pada 19 November untuk memulakan proses panjang untuk menyekat kemerosotan Malaysia dalam 30 ke 40 tahun yang akan datang.

Marilah semua rakyat Malaysia yang patriotik bersatu padu untuk menghentikan kemerosotan Malaysia dan memastikan Malaysia dapat menjadi sebuah negara hebat bertaraf dunia dalam 30 ke 40 tahun dari sekarang.

Atas sebab ini, saya gesa pengundi di Batu Sapi untuk mengundi calon DAP di kawasan parlimen ini dan menghantar Liau Fui FUi sebagai seorang Ahli Parlimen Batu Sapi pada 19 November 2022.

I urge Malaysians, whether young, middle-aged or old, to continue the fight for a better Malaysia

(Versi BM)

I am 81 years old and for the first time in 53 years since the 1969GE am not a candidate, but I am as busy or even busier than candidates, running all over the country to urge Malaysians, whether young, middle-aged or old, to continue the fight for a better Malaysia.

I have been to Sabah, Sarawak, Penang, Kedah, Perak, Selangor, Pahang, Malacca and Johore in the nine days since Nomination Day on 5th November 2022.

We may withdraw from the frontline to the rear because of age, but we cannot give up our hope and fight for a better Malaysia. I will devote every ounce of my energy and my life to make Malaysia return to the aspirations of the nation’s founding fathers for Malaysia to become “a beacon of light in a difficult and distracted world”.

Malaysia has not lived up to expectations in the last six decades.

We have failed to be “a beacon of light” to the world, but part of the growing darkness in the world where there is injustice, oppression and corruption. In fact, corruption has got worse today than the first days of Malaysia.

We have fallen from a first-rate world-class great nation to become a second-rate mediocre country, and if we do not buck up and instal a good government in Putrajaya and end corruption, abuses of power and disregard for many of the injustices in Malaysia, we will become a failed, rogue and kleptocratic state in 30 or 40 years before Malaysia celebrates its Centennial.

Have the other three candidates to be the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia from Barisan Nasional or Perikatan Nasional – Zahid Hamidi of UMNO/BN, Muhyiddin Yassin of Bersatu or Hadi Awang of PAS – agree and admit that Malaysia has fallen from the expectations of the nation’s founders like Tunku Abdul Rahman, Tun Razak and Tun Hussein Onn to be “a beacon of light in a difficult and distracted world”?

No, the trio from BN and Perikatan Nasional would not admit that, but if they are not prepared to admit that Malaysia has fallen from our original expectations, how are they to make Malaysia great again?

Only Pakatan Harapan candidate for the 10th Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim, recognises that after six decades, Malaysia has fallen from our expectations and we must immediately stop the decline if we are not to end up as a failed rogue and kleptocratic state in 30 or 40 year’s time.

This is why the 15th General Election to elect a good government in Putrajaya is important, as well as to elect Anwar Ibrahim as the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia.

When I visited Sandakan before Nomination Day, I asked the people of Sabah, as well as in Malaysia, two questions: Is Malaysia save-able and is Malaysia worth saving.

I believe Malaysia is save-able and Malaysia is worth saving, but we must start our salvation effort immediately in the 15th General Election on November 19, 2022.

Let Malaysians, whether in the country or all over the world in the Malaysian diaspora, be saviours of the country, but it must start on 15th GE Polling Day on November 19, 2022.

(Speech by DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang at the DAP 15GE ceramah in Sandakan on Sunday, November 13, 2022 at 9.30 pm)

Saya kini berusia 81 tahun dan buat kali pertama dalam 53 tahun sejak PRU 1969, tidak menjadi seorang calon, tetapi saya terus sibuk, malah lebih sibuk dari seorang calon, bergerak ke seluruh negara untuk menggesa rakyat Malaysia untuk terus berjuang demi sebuah Malaysia yang lebih baik

Saya kini berusia 81 tahun dan buat pertama kali dalam 53 tahun yang lepas sejak Pilihan Raya Umum 1969, tidak menjadi seorang calon. Tetapi saya terus sibuk, malah mungkin lebih sibuk dari seorang calon, bergerak ke seluruh negara untuk menggesa rakyat Malaysia, baik yang muda, pertengahan usia, atau tua, untuk terus berjuang demi sebuah Malaysia yang lebih baik.

Saya telah ke Sabah, Sarawak, Pulau Pinang, Kedah, Perak, Selangor, Pahang, Melaka, dan Johor dalam sembilan hari sejak Hari Penamaan pada 5 November 2022.

Kita mungkin berundur dari barisan hadapan ke belakang kerana usia tua, tetapi kita tidak boleh berputus asa dan perlu terus berjuang untuk sebuah Malaysia yang lebih baik. Saya akan tumpukan setiap titis tenaga dan kehidupan saya untuk memastikan Malaysia kembali kepada aspirasi Bapa Malaysia, untuk Malaysia menjadi “sinar cahaya dalam dunia yang sukar dan terganggu”.

Malaysia tidak berjaya memenuhi aspirasi ini dalam enam dekad yang lepas.

Kita gagal untuk menjadi “sinar cahaya” kepada dunia, sebaliknya menyertai menambahkan kegelapan di dunia di mana terdapatnya kezaliman, penindasan, dan korupsi. Malah, rasuah menjadi semakin teruk hari ini berbanding dengan hari-hari awal negara kita.

Kita telah jatuh, daripada sebuah negara hebat bertaraf dunia kepada sebuah negara yang biasa-biasa sahaja, dan sekiranya kita tidak mengubah nasib kita dan memilih sebuah kerajaan yang baik di Putrajaya untuk menghapuskan rasuah, salah guna kuasa, dan pengabaian kezaliman dalam negara, kita bakal menjadi sebuah negara gagal dan kelptokratik dalam 30 ke 40 tahun sebelum ulang tahun ke-100 negara.

Adakah mana-mana dari tiga calon Perdana Menteri ke-10 dari Barisan Nasional atau Perikatan Nasional – Zahid Hamidi dari UMNO/BN, Muhyiddin Yassin dari Bersatu, atau Hadi Awang dari PAS – bersetuju dan akan mengakui yang Malaysia tidak berjaya memenuhi aspirasi tokoh penubuhan negara seperti Tunku Abdul Rahman, Tun Razak, dan Tun Hussein Onn, untuk menjadi “sinar cahaya dalam dunia yang sukar dan terganggu”?

Tidak, ketiga-tiga mereka dari BN dan Perikatan Nasional tidak akan mengakui perkara ini, tetapi sekiranya mereka tidak berani mengakui kegagalan ini, bagaimanakah mereka hendak mengubah Malaysia untuk menjadi hebat sekali lagi?

Hanya calon Perdana Menteri ke-10 dari Pakatan Harapan, Anwar Ibrahim, yang mengakui dan melihat bahawa selepas enam dekad, Malaysia telah tersasar dari jangkaan kita dan kita perlu segera hentikan kemerosotan ini sekiranya kita tidak mahu menjadi sebuah negara gagal dan kleptokratik dalam 30 ke 40 tahun yang akan datang.

Kerana inilah Pilihan Raya Umum ke-15 untuk memilih kerajaan yang baik di Putrajaya ini amat penting, begitu juga untuk mengangkat Anwar Ibrahim menjadi Perdana Menteri Malaysia yang ke-10.

Semasa saya melawat Sandakan sebelum Hari Penamaan Calon, saya telah bertanya orang Sabah, dan juga orang di Malaysia, dua persoalan: Adakah Malaysia boleh diselamatkan dan berbaloi untuk diselamatkan.

Saya percaya Malaysia masih boleh diselamatkan dan mesti diselamatkan, tetapi kita perlu mulakan usaha ini secepat mungkin dalam Pilihan Raya Umum ke-15 pada 19 November 2022.

Marilah kita semua sebagai rakyat Malaysia, sama ada di dalam negara atau di luar negara dalam Diaspora Malaysia di seluruh dunia, menyelamatkan negara kita yang tercinta ini, tetapi usaha ini perlu bermula dengan Hari Mengundi dengan Pilihan Raya Umum ke-15 pada 19 November 2022.

Let Sabah compete with Sarawak and Malaya to see who has got better schools and universities following restoration of rights to Sabah and Sarawak

(Versi BM)

One of the biggest grouses against the Pakatan Harapan government is that it had failed to deliver its election manifesto promises.

We can be disappointed with the Pakatan Harapan government for not doing more in the 22 months before it was toppled by the undemocratic and illegal Sheraton Move political conspiracy which brought in two “backdoor” and illegitimate governments in Putrajaya – the 17-month Muhyiddin Yassin government and the 15-month Ismail Sabri government – but we must also be reasonable and realistic.

Let us look at the world – where is there a country where its government had been able to achieve in 22 months what was meant to be a five-year programme?

This is an impossible task and we must not blame the Pakatan Harapan government for failing to do the impossible.

I met privately with the then Prime Minister, Mahathir Mohamad in mid-2019, and impressed on him the necessity to honour the 2018 Pakatan Harapan election manifesto, and I told him that if there is any election pledge which could not be fulfilled, the Pakatan Harapan government should be frank with the people, explain the reasons, and I was sure that the people would understand. Mahathir agreed.

I had thought that after the Pakatan Harapan Presidential Council meeting on 21st February 2020 that all the doubts and theories of PH government instability had been resolved, for at the PH Presidential Council meeting, Mahathir made a commitment that he would step down as Prime Minister at the end of 2020 after the APEC meeting.

I had intended to meet the Prime Minister after the mid-term of the PH government sometime in 2021, when Anwar Ibrahim would have become the Prime Minister, but the Sheraton Move political conspiracy toppled the PH government a few days after the PH Presidential Council meeting on 21.2.2020.

It is unreasonable to expect the PH government to implement the 2018 PH Election Manifesto for it was meant for five years, and the PH government had only 22 months.

The two “backdoor” governments after the toppling of the PH government had a total of 32 months which is longer than the 22-month PH government

Have the Muhyiddin Yassin and Ismail Sabri restored the rights of Sabah and Sarawak in accordance with Malaysia Agreement 1963 when they have a longer time period than the 22 months of PH government?

In fact, we can blame the UMNO-BN government for its failures and disasters of six decades!

On July 13, 1976, when Parliament amended the Malaysian Constitution to reduce the status of Sabah and Sarawak from “territory” to “state”, all the Sabah and Sarawak MPs supported the amendment, and DAP MPs were the ones to oppose it. I also opposed the amendment. This is an example where DAP MPs were ahead of Sabah and Sarawak government MPs in protecting the status of Sabah and Sarawak as “territories” and not downgraded to that of states like those in Peninsular Malaysia.

Can the two “backdoor” governments of Muhyiddin Yassin and Ismail Sabri explain why they had failed to restore the rights of Sabah and Sarawak when they had together 32 months while Pakatan Harapan had only 22 months instead of five years?

If Anwar Ibrahim is elected as the 10th Prime Minister and forms the Federal government in Putrajaya, a second Pakatan Harapan government would fully restore the rights of Sabah and Sarawak.

Let Sabah compete with Sarawak and Malaya to see who has got better schools and universities with the restoration of rights to Sabah and Sarawak according to the Malaysia Agreement 1963.

There should be an University of Kota Kinabalu, an University of Sandakan, an University of Tawau, even an University of Lahad Datu – just as there should be an University of Kuching, an University of Sibu, an University of Miri, even an University of Sarikei.

When Sabah and Sarawak are restored the rights under the Malaysian Agreement 1963, there will be new visions and possibilities for Saah and Sarawak.

Of course, this must mean that there would be proper funding and infrastructure development following the restoration of the rights of Sabah and Sarawak under the Malaysia Agreement 1963.

(Media Conference statement by DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang at DAP Lahad Datu 15GE Ops Centre on Monday, 14th November 2022 at 1 pm)

Biar Sabah bersaing dengan Sarawak dan Malaya untuk melihat siapa yang dapat mempunyai sekolah dan universiti yang lebih baik selepas pemulihan hak-hak Sabah dan Sarawak

Satu daripada rungutan terbesar terhadap kerajaan Pakatan Harapan mengenai kegagalan untuk menunaikan janji manifesto pilihan rayanya.

Kita boleh kecewa dengan kerajaan Pakatan Harapan kerana tidak memenuhi lebih banyak perkara dalam tempoh 22 bulan sebelum digulingkan dengan konspirasi politik Langkah Sheraton yang tidak demokratik yang telah membawa masuk dua kerajaan “pintu belakang” dan tidak sah di Putrajaya — kerajaan Muhyiddin Yassin selama 17 bulan. dan kerajaan Ismail Sabri selama 15 bulan — tetapi kita juga perlu bersikap munasabah dan realistik.

Mari kita lihat di seluruh dunia — di manakah negara yang mana kerajaannya mampu untuk memenuhi dalam tempoh 22 bulan perkara yang dirancang sebagai program lima tahun?

Perkara ini adalah satu tugas yang mustahil dan kita tidak boleh menyalahkan kerajaan Pakatan Harapan kerana gagal melakukan perkara yang mustahil.

Saya bertemu secara peribadi dengan Perdana Menteri ketika itu, Mahathir Mohamad pada pertengahan tahun 2019, dan menekankan kepadanya keperluan untuk menghormati manifesto pilihan raya Pakatan Harapan 2018, dan saya memberitahunya bahawa jika ada ikrar pilihan raya yang tidak dapat ditunaikan, Kerajaan Pakatan Harapan perlu berterus terang kepada rakyat, jelaskan sebab-sebabnya, dan saya yakin rakyat akan faham. Mahathir bersetuju.

Saya fikir selepas mesyuarat Majlis Presiden Pakatan Harapan pada 21 Februari 2020 bahawa semua keraguan dan teori ketidakstabilan kerajaan PH telah diselesaikan, kerana pada mesyuarat Majlis Presiden PH, Mahathir memberikan komitmen bahawa dia akan meletakkan jawatan sebagai Perdana Menteri pada penghujung tahun 2020 selepas persidangan APEC.

Saya berhasrat untuk bertemu Perdana Menteri selepas tempoh pertengahan kerajaan PH pada tahun 2021, apabila Anwar Ibrahim sudah menjadi Perdana Menteri, tetapi konspirasi politik Langkah Sheraton telah menumbangkan kerajaan PH beberapa hari selepas mesyuarat Majlis Presiden PH. pada 21.2.2020.

Adalah tidak munasabah untuk mengharapkan kerajaan PH melaksanakan Manifesto Pilihan Raya PH 2018 sepenuhnya kerana manifesto ini dirancang untuk dilaksanakana dalam tempoh lima tahun, dan kerajaan PH hanya mempunyai 22 bulan.

Kedua-dua kerajaan “pintu belakang” selepas penggulingan kerajaan PH mempunyai jumlah 32 bulan yang lebih lama daripada kerajaan PH 22 bulan

Adakah Muhyiddin Yassin dan Ismail Sabri telah mengembalikan hak Sabah dan Sarawak mengikut Perjanjian Malaysia 1963 sedangkan mereka mempunyai tempoh masa yang lebih lama berbanding dengan 22 bulan pentadbiran PH?

Malah, kita boleh menyalahkan kerajaan UMNO-BN atas kegagalan dan malapetaka yang menimpa negara selama enam dekad!

Pada 13 Julai 1976, apabila Parlimen meminda Perlembagaan Malaysia untuk menurunkan status Sabah dan Sarawak daripada “wilayah” kepada “negeri”, semua Ahli Parlimen Sabah dan Sarawak menyokong pindaan itu, dan Ahli Parlimen DAP jugalah yang menentangnya. Saya juga menentang pindaan itu. Ini adalah contoh di mana Ahli Parlimen DAP mendahului Ahli Parlimen kerajaan Sabah dan Sarawak dalam melindungi status Sabah dan Sarawak sebagai “wilayah” supaya tidak diturunkan kepada negeri seperti di Semenanjung Malaysia.

Bolehkah dua kerajaan “pintu belakang” Muhyiddin Yassin dan Ismail Sabri menjelaskan mengapa mereka gagal memulihkan hak Sabah dan Sarawak apabila mereka bersama selama 32 bulan sedangkan Pakatan Harapan hanya mempunyai 22 bulan berbanding lima tahun?

Jika Anwar Ibrahim dipilih sebagai Perdana Menteri ke-10 dan membentuk kerajaan Persekutuan di Putrajaya, kerajaan Pakatan Harapan kedua akan memulihkan sepenuhnya hak Sabah dan Sarawak.

Biar Sabah bersaing dengan Sarawak dan Malaya untuk melihat siapa yang dapat mempunyai sekolah dan universiti yang lebih baik selepas pemulihan hak-hak Sabah dan Sarawak.

Patutnya sudah ada Universiti Kota Kinabalu, Universiti Sandakan, Universiti Tawau, malah Universiti Lahad Datu — sama seperti mana patutnya ada Universiti Kuching, Universiti Sibu, Universiti Miri, malah Universiti Sarikei.

Apabila hak-hak Sabah dan Sarawak sudah dipulihkan di bawah Perjanjian Malaysia 1963, akan ada visi dan peluang baharu untuk Sabah dan Sarawak.

Sudah tentu, perkara ini bermakna bahawa akan ada pembiayaan dan pembangunan infrastruktur yang sewajarnya berikutan pemulihan hak Sabah dan Sarawak di bawah Perjanjian Malaysia 1963.

Does a handless and feetless Ismail Sabri really thinks he is going to be Prime Minister after the 15GE even if UMNO/BN wins

(Versi BM)

I am really amazed.

Does a handless and feetless ismail Sabri really thinks he is going to be Prime Minister of Malaysia after the 15th General Election on Nov.19, 2022 even if the UMNO/BN coalition wins?

Ismail says that the claims that Zahid wanted to be Prime Minister after the 15th general election are all “fairy tales”.

Is Ismail being “naïve” or he is just dumb?

The latest statement by the UMNO/BN President, Zahid Hamidi, that the Yang di Pertuan Agong will decide who will be the Prime Minister if BN wins should put the

“nail in the coffin” of Ismail’s hopes to be the Prime Minister if BN wins, but Ismail seems to be as naïve and dumb as ever.

Does Ismail realise that being the UMNO/BN “poster boy” in the 15GE does not guarantee him the premiership after the election?

Is Ismail Sabri aware that he has lost his arms and feet when his UMNO Minister were culled and not put forward by Zahid and the UMNO leadership as parliamentary candidates?

Or have we an armless and feetless Prime Minister who is not aware that he is armless and feetless because they have been chopped before Nomination Day?

This will be Malaysia’s greatest tragedy.

(Media Statement by DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang at the Lahad Datu Airport for Kota Kinabalu to visit Tenom, Keningau and Papar on Tuesday, November 15, 2022 at 12 noon)

Adakah Ismail Sabri yang “tidak bertangan dan kaki” benar-benar percaya yang dia akan menjadi Perdana Menteri sekiranya UMNO/BN menang PRU15?

Saya benar-benar kagum.

Adakah Ismail Sabri yang “tidak bertangan dan kaki” benar-benar percaya yang dia akan menjadi Perdana Menteri Malaysia sekiranya UMNO/Barisan Nasional menang dalam Pilihan Raya Umum ke-15 pada 19 November 2022?

Ismail mengatakan yang dakwaan yang mengatakan Zahid ingin menjadi Perdana Menteri selepas Pilihan Raya Umum ke-15 sebagai hanya “kisah dongeng”.

Adakah Ismail sedang menjadi “naif” atau dia hanya bodoh?

Kenyataan terbaru dari Presiden UMNO/BN, Zahid Hamidi, yang mengatakan Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di Pertuan Agong akan memutuskan siapa yang akan menjadi Perdana Menteri sekiranya BN menang sepatutnya sudah menamatkan harapan Ismail Sabri untuk menjadi Perdana Menteri sekiranya BN menang, tetapi Ismail kelihatan seperti terus naif dan bodoh.

Adakah Ismail sedar yang menjadi “poster-boy” UMNO/BN dalam PRU15 tidak menjamin jawatan Perdana Menteri untuknya selepas pilihan raya?

Adakah Ismail sedar yang dia telah kehilangan “tangan dan kakinya” apabila Menteri-menteri UMNOnya dicantas dari bertanding sebagai calon parlimen oleh Zahid dan pimpinan UMNO?

Atau adakah kita mempunyai seorang Perdana Menteri tanpa kaki dan tangan yang tidak sedar dia sudah tidak ada kaki dan tangan kerana ia sudah dipotong sejak sebelum Hari Penamaan Calon lagi?

Perkara ini akan menjadi salah satu tragedi terhebat Malaysia.
