A Note to our HARAPAN government


Dear Government of Malaysia,

Thank you so much Bapa Tun for your endless effort to restore our dignity.

The day is finally arrived in Malaysia.

The new horizon already on rise.

The darkest cloud(s) which makes many Malaysians put in rest at last.

The nation is awakening now.

We have high hope on you to reform and transform this nation for our future generation.

Even though, we won the battle but there is no time for us to seek for revenge as you said.

The biggest punishments for these 'traitors' who swindled and 'raped' this nation without mercy should be left alone.

These people need to be isolated from our society and make them to realise what kind of the damages that they had done to this nation.

Let's we leave them alone.

But, if these people had done something which is detrimental i.e. damaging the good reputation of our beloved nation then they should be punished according to the law of this country.

We have to observe and follow the rule of law.

Apart from that, the focus now should be on the progress and stability of this nation.

People had suffered enough.

The first priority is to overcome the hardship of people by controlling the essential goods prices and abolish GST.

This priority is part of Pakatan Harapan’s election manifesto.

Then, the restoration of the independency of essential government institutions or bodies should be in the highest precedence.

For instance, the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission needs to fully independent and must be answerable to the Parliament only and not under the Prime Minster Department.

Further, the MACC Act need to be amended by the parliament to give prosecution powers to them without referring and getting the permission from the Attorney General.

In addition, the PDRM must accept the formation of the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) to restore their reputation. In addition, the appointment of the IGP and DIGP need to be accepted and confirmed by the Parliament.

Then, the Election Commission must be reformed. They must adapt, implement and practice the universal election principles with the highest integrity. This Commission also must be fully independent and must be under the Parliament rather than the Prime Minister Department. The current government also can adopt the recommendations made by the NGOs like BERSIH and C4.

In addition, the Human Rights Commission (SUHAKAM) also need to be independent and not under the Prime Minister Department. The commissioners must be confirmed by the Parliament. The recommendations of SUHAKAM need to be given the utmost importance by implementing it within the government machineries.

The members of the judiciary must by elected by the independent judiciary commission where these members will be confirmed by the Parliament. The government should observe the doctrine of the separation of the powers by separating the Judiciary, Executive and Legislative. By doing this, one power for example the Executive will not assumed so much of power because absolute power corrupts absolutely. The biggest weaknesses of the previous government where there is no separation of powers and the head of the Executive assumed so much power. This needs to be prevented.

For the nation building the foundations must be strong. The integrity and accountability of the leaders are well appreciated. Without these values ones can build the nation with sustainability.

The nation can move forward, now.

The Malaysians elected a new government based on the trust. They strongly believed that this government can rebuild this nation and reinstate the status on the eyes of the world.

It’s not time for any kind of celebrations and we have start our rebuilding work now.  
This country belongs to us. It’s our duty to assist the new government to rebuild this nation again. We have the obligations to make this nation prosperous again for our children.

The future is so bright for us now.

Kuala Lumpur.

Brexit: A lesson for Malaysians

Yesterday, Britons through a referendum made a decision to leave European Union. The ruling Conservative Party divided on this referendum and David Cameron in favour of ‘Remain’ was defeated outright. Even though he is disagreed with the decision of Britons, he announced that he is resigning from his premiership in respect of people’s decision. We can expect in a mature democracy country like United Kingdom this is vastly anticipated to be transpired.   A few days ago, the current Chief Commissioner of Malaysian Anti-Corruption of Commission made a statement that he is stepping down from his position and there are some rumours indicating that a few prominent officers from the said Commission will either resign or retire. It’s very eccentric news for Malaysians as it will have a profound impact on bribery and corruption issues in Malaysia as a whole. Recently, the results of two by elections were won by Barisan Nasional, the ruling party of Malaysia. Many promises had been...

Trump's role in the Israel-Hamas ceasefire

As the Israel-Hamas ceasefire, scheduled to commence on Jan 19, 2025, approaches, it is essential to examine the potential impact of president-elect Donald Trump on this event and Middle East security. Considering Trump’s past foreign policy actions, especially those concerning Israel, alongside the wider geopolitical environment, his prospective role in shaping the ceasefire and future peace initiatives is intricate and layered. Historical influence Trump’s initial term as president was characterised by a robust endorsement of Israel, a position that resonated with his domestic political supporters and simultaneously altered US foreign policy, thereby impacting the wider dynamics of the Middle East. Key actions during this period included the formal acknowledgement of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, the transfer of the US embassy to that city, and the withdrawal from the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement. These measures solidified his rapport with Israeli leadership and exemplified his ...
