Are we ready for the change?

By next Monday, we as Malaysians will know the outcome of PRU (General Election) 13.

There are many predication. One from mainstream medias are predicated that BN is going to win. The other from alternative medias which are in favour of opposition.

Last few days, I was in various places, from Bandar Tun Razak, Semenyih, Segambut, Lembah Pantai, Subang, Puchong to Klang, the obvious or notable evidence was the mood of the people for the change.

Most of them who I had chatted with only had one/single issue in their conversations that they wanted the change. They said it's quite long for one party ruled our nation and they are bored with the way they are been governed. They felt that  their unhappiness and suffering did not reach the people who walk on the corridors of power. Further they said nothing solid and concrete had been done since 2008 of their grievousness and they felt they just had been ignored.

I think this is the general feelings of the people throughout our nation.

Then, are we really ready for the change?

Before and after the 2008 election this is the question has been asked to the people who had been given a chance to rule us. We have seen the result.

Generally, the people are ready for the change. The fear of instabilities, riots and other unwanted issues actually did not bothered them at all.

The insights are they united as Malaysians. What ever the outcome of election will not influence the Police or RMAF to act otherwise. As what indicated by IGP and Director of CID recently the national security is paramount and PDRM is holding out the duty to maintain peace and security of our country.

Therefore the fear which has been used always as a tool to gain support and suppress no longer relevant for present day. 

The change is inevitable.

Kuala Lumpur.

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 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 ...

Ties that bind religion, state: Beneficial or detrimental?

Malaysia is characterised as a secular state, a principle reflecting its founding fathers’ vision. However, over the years, certain politicians from various factions have exploited religion as a potent tool to garner public support and to suppress or eliminate their political adversaries. The slogan “untuk agama, bangsa dan negara,” which translates to “for religion, race, and nation,” suggests a troubling prioritisation of religious matters over state affairs. This shift in focus by the past and present governments, which places religious issues above national interests, poses significant risks to the future stability and unity of the nation. Furthermore, the investigation into Global Ikhwan Services and Business Holdings, which is accused of child sexual abuse and forced labour, highlights the potential dangers of intertwining religious motivations with operational practices. Also, an examination of the present state of our government reveals a trajectory similar to that of Pakistan,...
