Is it gonna be a good country.??
 Yesterday was the end of Datuk Seri (now Tun) Abdullah Ahmad Badawi’s era that many of us remember as a period of uncertainty and unfulfilled promises. It was also an era of Pakatan Rakyat - the rise of the voice of the people. Today marks the beginning of the era of Datuk Seri Najib Razak, whom we believe will try to build a new legacy for the country and himself. Unfortunately in the last month alone, abuses of power and infringement of freedom have been enforced in such a way that many Malaysians believe we are reverting to the old undemocratic years of Mahathirism. If Najib is really serious about improving sensitive dynamics in the country, I hope he would remember that he is the Prime Minister for all, and not just for UMNO or Barisan Nasional, or any particular ethnic group. Najib’s must get his priorities right and restore the integrity of institutions such as the judiciary, the police, the anti-corruption agency and the civil service, as well as to free the press and the media and to uphold the rule of law. Najib should learn to listen to the voice of the people. I promise bipartisan cooperate with Najib on any move that will lead us to the First World with humility and integrity. |
