GE14 - The mother of all elections in Malaysia

The GE14 will be conducted very soon in Malaysia. 

This election is very different from other elections which was held in Malaysia previously. This election is no longer a battle between Malays and non-Malays but instead between Malays themselves.

They are at the crossroads to decide to whom their support is.

The margin of advantage between the ruling party and opposition party is very thin. There are many Malays who disassociate themselves with both party. They are undecided. They are confused.

Firstly, they don't understand why a leader they had revered the most has joined and collaborating with opposition.

Secondly, why there are many parties claiming they are representing Malays and why are so many now?

Thirdly, where they are belong too i.e. to which party they are associate with.

Lastly, who will preserve and protect their rights and priviliges better.

In this election, the deciding factor for the outcome of this election is with Malays.

Therefore this election is the mother of all elections and so crucial for the future of Malaysia.

As what I observed in the electronic media including social media, the undercurrent sentiments is slightly in favour of opposition because of Dr Mahathir's factor. He has seen as a true national leader who has contributed enormously for the development of  this nation.

He is not only the leader for Malays but for other races as well in this country.

He was a former Prime Minister who has a lot of experience handling elections for his former party and that will be a key factor in deciding the outcome of this election.

Let's wait and see.

India-Malaysia ties and the future

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is on his first official visit to India. The main aim of this visit is to seek support for Malaysia’s application to join Brics and to fortify bilateral ties, as the country is keen to improve its connections with one of the rapidly expanding economies in Asia. In light of the increasing crumbling of the global order, particularly stemming from trade disputes between the United States and China, as well as the proxy conflict involving the United States and Russia, Malaysia is encouraged to reassess its foreign policy to uphold its neutral stance. Given India’s status as the largest democracy and the fifth-largest economy globally, along with its notable advancements in indigenous space and defence technologies, it is proposed that India emerge as Malaysia’s key partner in the years ahead. Why India is important for Malaysia The historical ties between India and Malaysia extend back several centuries, with significant Indian cultural, religious, and administ...

THE HISTORY OF TERRORISM: MORE THAN 200 YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT

The history of terrorism dates back at least 1500 years when Jewish resistance groups (66 - 72 A.D.) known as Zealots killed Roman soldiers and destroyed Roman property. The term assassin comes from a Shi'ite Muslim sect (Nizari Isma'ilis - also known as hashashins "hashish-eaters") fighting Sunni Muslims (1090 - 1275) and during Medieval Christendom resisting occupation during the Crusades (1095-1291). The hashashins were known to spread terror in the form of murder, including women and children. The brotherhood of Assassins committed terror so as to gain paradise and seventy-two virgins if killed and to receive unlimited hashish while on earth. The modern development of terrorism began during the French Revolution's Reign of Terror (1793 - 1794). During this period the term terrorism was first coined. Through the past two hundred years, terrorism has been used to achieve political ends and has developed as a tool for liberation, oppression, and i...

The by-election in Kuala Kubu Baharu (KKB) and the Indian electorate

  I was born in Malaysia, belonging to the Indian ethnic group, which constitutes approximately 7% of the country's total population. My durable credence is that I am Malaysian first and foremost, and only then do I identify myself as Indian. Regrettably, it saddens me to witness and hear about the actions of certain politicians who question my loyalty to Malaysia. What is even more disheartening is that some Malaysians have been influenced by the manipulative rhetoric of these self-serving politicians. Recently, I have observed numerous discussions on both mainstream and online news platforms regarding the recognition and inclusion of Indians by ruling parties. Surprisingly, even the opposition has displayed a significant interest in the welfare of Indians. Upon contemplating the reasons behind this sudden surge in attention towards Indians, it becomes evident that it is primarily driven by the upcoming Kuala Kubu Baharu (KKB) by-election. It is noteworthy that such ...
