Let Sabah lead the Malaysia Way

 

Let Sabah lead the Malaysia Way

-   By Professor Dr. Mohd Tajuddin Mohd Rasdi

🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾

“ I had always thought that 2020 marks the death of Malaysia as a Nation. 

With the final brazen shout of 'Malaysia is Tanah Melayu' by an infamous MP in the Parliament recently, the coffin has been

nailed shut.    

Not just that, another was placed on the coffin of Malaysia with the  ' Gelap Sangat MP '.

Such disgusting behaviors have come from a party whose DNA seems to have more filth than protein these past three decades.   

That party used to be the shining light of Malaysia, but now no more and going nowhere.

Its former president was just convicted of a crime against Malaysians by robbing the country of money for all our children.   

The great support given to the famous 'Bossku ' speaks much about the Semenanjung Tanah Melayu as much as the Kongress Maruah Melayu.

Try and organize a Kongres Maruah Kadazan and the organizers might be quickly charged with sedition.

Malaysia is dead.   

It has no more soul left.  The Kedah government that issued quick and uncompromising orders to remove unregistered shrines made sure of that.

There is nothing to save and nothing to salvage about Malaysia.

But now, suddenly a spark of possible life for the regeneration of Malaysia has emerged.   A snap Election is called as Sabah dissolved its assembly in the middle of unscrupulous people's representatives making sure they represent only themselves and their bank accounts perhaps.

Ahh   . . .    it's just another day in Malaysia!

But the jumping ADUNs are now caught with their pants down.   

An Election is called and the people have marked in their smartphones who these jumpers are.   It would be most surprising that these jumpers could ever jump anymore after 60 days have passed when the people use their sacred democratic right to show who actually are the ones who can say ' Ketuanan Tanah Airku '.

So, the spark of Malaysia's soul lies with the people of Sabah.   There are no Melayu Islamic rhetoric strong enough to fool or frighten the people.   Roads will be paved and repaved.   

Poor dilapidated rumah kos rendah will be painted bright blue or red, depending on which party gives the money.    It definitely won't be green.   

That party has no teeth in Sabah.  

That party has a big bite in four states in 'Tanah Melayu', but not in Sabah!

There are three important messages  that the Sabah people can send to Tanah Melayu politicians. There are three things that the Sabahan can also inform strongly to all Malaysians.

The first message is that Sabah is, always has been and will forever be, a model of Malaysia's racial and religious harmony.

There are no Islamic reformists here that can destroy the Constitution  or its people towards a warped vision of Islam as a dominant force.   

It is good for Sabahans to remind the Muslims that Prophet Muhammad treated Jews, Christians and other non-Muslims with dignity and respect, not name-calling them pendatang or gelap or orang tumpangan   . . .

In Sabah, all are in the family of Sabahans and Malaysians.   

In Sabah, all are treated equally with fairness, dignity and mutual respect.

The second message is that a Sabahan can be a candidate for the post of Malaysian prime minister.    

A Sabahan is a Malaysian.    

Whichever ethnic group a person belongs to, he or she is qualified to be the prime minister of Malaysia. 

As Sabah is one third of Malaysia with Sarawak and Semenanjung Tanah Melayu being the other thirds, the cabinet must comprise no less than that proportion.    

Why must the premiership belong only to one particular ethnic group?    

Orang lain cacat kah?

The third message that the Sabahan can send is to political parties in Semenanjung Tanah Melayu.   

Sabahan does not need nor does it ever want any political party that thinks its leader is the only one 'privileged' to be the prime minister.     If any one party harbors that notion, then Sabahan does not need its partnership.   

That notion violates the fundamental principle of being Malaysian   . . .    that all of us are equal under the Constitution of the country.

Now, some may disagree with me and say that there are others who are unequal and deserve 'special privileges'. 

Now if those people are the very poor, the ones left out of development and the ones totally ignored like the Orang Asli or the ethnic groups in Sabah's interiors, then I would agree. 

These people should be the ones with special privileges, regardless of race, religion or lifestyle.

Malaysia needs Sabah and Sabahans to resuscitate itself from a deep coma that hovers on death and destruction. 

Malaysia needs a serious shock to its system that has been plagued with race and religious rhetorics for the last four decades.

Let Sabah lead the way into a new vision of Malaysia, a country and nation for all citizens who value love, respect and dignity of one another regardless of faiths, skin color or social status.

Finally, to the Sabah people, I sincerely ask you to vote with a conscience, to vote with a vision and to vote with the hopes of all Malaysians    . . .

The Interim Prime Minister

The One Man Cabinet

The most concise explanation of what happened?
There was a coup attempt in the name of Tun M against the government of Tun M that was prevented by Tun M through the resignation of Tun M as PM followed by the appointment of Tun M to be interim PM. Meanwhile everybody else lost their ministerial positions except Tun M.🤔

Proverbs 21

1

The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD; he directs it like a watercourse wherever he pleases.

2

All a man's ways seem right to him, but the LORD weighs the heart.

3

To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.

4

Haughty eyes and a proud heart, the lamp of the wicked, are sin!

5

The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.

I believe there is a reason for this season, even it means a one-man Cabinet.

PUTRAJAYA: Interim Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad (pic) left his first day of work at 5.45pm on Tuesday with the country no closer to escaping its current political turmoil.

The visibly tired 94-year-old did not stop to speak to about 60 media workers who have been waiting outside his office since 8am.

Instead, he shared his usual cheeky smile, followed by a quick wave as he departed for home with a large security detail.

On Tuesday, it was a one-man show for Dr Mahathir in running the Government, after his unexpected resignation on Monday placed the country into unknown territory with no ministers or deputies still in the administration.

He spent the better part of his day meeting political party leaders since clocking in at 9am.

Among them were Gabungan Parti Sarawak’s Datuk Patinggi Abang Openg, Bersatu’s Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, PKR’s Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, DAP’s Lim Guan Eng and Amanah’s Mohamad Sabu.

He also met with PAS President Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang and will meet with independent MP Datuk Seri Azmin Ali.

In a statement earlier from the Prime Minister’s Office, it is understood Dr Mahathir will clock in as usual today (Wednesday) and is expected to meet with more party leaders, including Warisan President Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal. On Monday, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong accepted Dr Mahathir’s resignation as the seventh Prime Minister, but re-appointed him as the interim PM until a successor is named.

The Agong is interviewing the country’s federal lawmakers to determine who among them commanded the support of the majority needed to become the Prime Minister.

Meanwhile, political sources said Dr Mahathir is trying to form a national unity government under his personal authority, drawing together rival parties.

Dr Mahathir proposed the idea of a grand coalition at meetings Tuesday with leaders of major political parties, including Anwar, and those he defeated in the election, four political sources with knowledge of the matter said.

“It appears that Dr Mahathir is poised to form the government,” one source said. 

“There won’t be any political entity. We might be a government of no parties.”

The sources declined to be identified because they were not authorised to speak to media. 

Dr Mahathir’s office made no immediate comment on the plan.

“He is the person most likely to be the next Prime Minister,” said Democratic Action Party parliamentarian Ong Kian Ming.

Parties across the board rallied to say they would support Dr Mahathir’s return as full-time Prime Minister, with Anwar’s the only major party not to offer a public endorsement.

No one has publicly staked a claim to be Prime Minister.

The realignment could give Dr Mahathir greater authority than even during a previous spell as Prime Minister from 1981 until his retirement in 2003, during which he is credited with turning a farming backwater into an industrial nation.

“He has total freedom to decide as he pleases,” said Ibrahim Suffian, director of pollster Merdeka Centre.

Two of the sources said Dr Mahathir’s resignation meant a pre-election promise to hand power to Anwar was no longer valid.

The former medical doctor returned as Prime Minister after the 2018 election defeat of Datuk Seri Najib Razak, ringing down the curtain on more than six decades of rule by the party he had once led.

“Just another day in the office,” Dr Mahathir said on his official Twitter account, accompanied by photographs of him reading papers at the prime ministerial desk.

Malaysia’s constitution provides that any lawmaker who can command a majority in Parliament can stake a claim to form a government, which must then be approved by the King.

The palace said the King would hold individual interviews with all 222 elected Members of Parliament’s lower house on Tuesday and today (Wednesday), to assess who was likely to succeed.

Lawmakers leaving the palace said they been given a form on which to indicate their choice of Prime Minister, or whether they would prefer parliament to be dissolved.

The political crisis comes at a particularly bad time for the Malaysian economy, after growth fell to a decade low in last year’s final quarter.

The stock market recovered slightly on Tuesday from an eight-year low hit the previous day, while the currency also rose after having hit its lowest in nearly six months.

Dr Mahathir had been due to unveil on Thursday a stimulus package to soften the economic fallout from a coronavirus outbreak.

Dr Mahathir and Anwar formed the Pakatan Harapan coalition to defeat the United Malays National Organisation (Umno) and its Barisan Nasional alliance in 2018.

Anwar had been Dr Mahathir’s deputy before the latter arrested and jailed him in the late 1990s for sodomy and corruption, charges that Anwar and his supporters maintain were aimed at ending his political career. 

Amazing facts about Mrs Lee - LKY's Mother

I am just very intrigued by the First Family of Singapore, Mr Lee Kuan Yew (LKY), the great man himself, his amazing wife, to his great children with great academic, political and business successes. And even more so, as the Founding Premier's mother, Mdm Chua Jim Neo better known as Mrs Leel Chin Koon, who was inducted to the Singapore Women's Hall of Fame some year ago.

The amazing thing is the she wrote a "Peranakan Cuisine" cookbook published in 1974 when she was 67 years old. And I have a copy of her book, not the original.

Hall of Fame: Chua Jim Neo

Chua Jim Neo, better known as Mrs Lee Chin Koon, wrote her definitive Mrs Lee’s Cookbook in 1974 when she was 67 years old. At an age when many women of her generation were content to play with their grandchildren, Jim Neo decided to produce a cookbook so that future generations would have access to the intricacies of the Peranakan cuisine. The book, reprinted many times, is considered one of the most authoritative on Peranakan cuisine in Singapore.

Born in 1907, Jim Neo was the eldest child of Neo Ah Soon and wealthy Hokkien businessman Chua Kim Teng from Pontianak in Dutch Borneo. At age 15, she married Lee Chin Koon, a storekeeper, in an arranged marriage. She had five children, a daughter and four boys, the eldest of whom was Kuan Yew, who became prime minister of Singapore in 1959.

In his memoirs, Kuan Yew described his mother thus: “She devoted her life to raising her children to be well-educated and independent professionals, and she stood up to my father to safeguard their future. My brothers, my sister and I were very conscious of her sacrifices; we felt we could not let her down and did our best to be worthy of her and to live up to her expectations.”

People were having political fatigue.
1MDB scandals had gone stale.
Support for Najib was at its peak within UMNO.
ROS torpedoed the registration of Pakatan Harapan and made Bersatu illegal.
It was all looking too good to be true for Najib.

Then came April 10.
SPR dropped the bombshell by announcing a Wednesday polling day on May 9.
All hell broke loose.
Even BN parties seemed to have been caught off guard.
Top BN leadership failed to come up with any justification.
The only lame one came from a hired-gun named Eric See-to.

SPR's surprise announcement managed to wake everyone up from their slumber.
Everyone started condemning SPR's unjustifiable decision.
Many accused SPR trying to reduce voters turnout.
Others accused SPR of trying to keep BN in power.

Meanwhile..Traffic on airline websites shot through the roof within minutes.
Tickets for buses and trains were snapped up by angry and eager voters.
Frantic calls were made.
WhatsApp groups were created.
Discussions went wild on social media.
The Game was officially started.

In the midst of anger..
People were coming together in defiance of SPR's decision.
They have one common goal, to get outstation voters back home and vote.
Crowd sourcing for funds.
Mix-matching for carpool.
Campaign for cheaper flight tickets.

Within the next few days..
More than RM200,000 were raised and disbursed.
Donor-recipient matching and carpool platform were set up.
Charted buses were sponsored by organizations.
Airlines decided to cap their ticket price.

What was supposed to be a boring election came to life.Stories of generosity acts were shared on social media and WA groups.
Meanwhile, there was deafening silence in SPR and the ruling camp.
Their strategy seemingly backfired.
RABU quickly transformed into Rabu Akan Buang UMNO.

Nomination Day came and went.
Careless mistakes were seen.
Arbitrary rules were enforced.
Court judgment not adhered to.
Candidates went bankrupt overnight.
The cheating continued.

Campaign period was officially in effect.
Ceramahs were held everyday.
On one end, lucky draws and door gifts were abundant.
On the other end, donation boxes were being passed around.
Crowd turnout does not necessary translate into votes they say.

Hidup Najib!
Hidup BN!
Hidup Pakatan!
Hidup Tun!
There were much living going around.

Exodus started as early as Friday night.
Highways started jamming up.
Causeway immigration were on full strength.It's like an extra balik kampung trip for many.
Campaigning came to a halt at the stroke of midnight.

It's polling day!
Voters started to queuing as early as 7.
New procedures were causing unnecessary delays.
Some were stuck in the queue for hours but they persevere.
There’s no stopping the tidal wave that was the will of the people.

As polling centers closed, vote counting began.
Unofficial results started to trickle in.
Both coalitions were neck and neck.
The so-called "Kingmaker" was trailing far behind.
It was clear that East Malaysia was no longer a fixed deposit.

One by one, big names started to fall.
Top BN leadership were almost wiped out.
Party presidents, ministers, deputy ministers.
Even though the caretaker PM and his deputy survived.
It was a massacre.

It was a different story for PH.
Their top leaders defeated their respective opponents.
Most of them with bigger majority.
Their PM-designate overcame 11k deficit with much to spare.
Things were looking up.

Suddenly, the results stop coming in.
Rumors and speculations were rife.
Complaints of EC officers refusing to sign their forms.
It was fast approaching midnight.
Something was clearly amiss.

At midnight, PH claimed they have won simple majority.
SPR claimed they were still waiting for results.
One by one, more states changed hands.
The writing was on the wall.
The mighty Beast has fallen after six decades.

It was never a Malay Tsunami.
It was never a Chinese Tsunami.
It was never an Indian Tsunami.
It was a Malaysian Tsunami.
A Tsunami made possible by 12,299,514 voters.

Everyone knew there would be rampant cheating.
Everyone knew which side SPR is on.
Everyone knew mainstream media would be biased.
Everyone knew they would try every trick up their sleeves.
Everyone knew who we were dealing with.

No one expected voters to turn up on a Wednesday.
No one expected voters would queue up for hours.
No one expected that much distaste for Najib and Co.
No one expected what happened in East Malaysia.
No one expected to find the Reset button on Malaysia.

It was a new day when results were made official.
It was a new dawn for Malaysia.
It was uncharted territory for the nation.
It was earth shattering.
It was amazing.

That's not just the smell of fresh air.
That's the smell of freedom.
Take it in slowly and taste it.
May 9 will go down into history,
as the day we achieved Merdeka all over again.

PRAYER ALERT:

The following is from Bishop Hwa Yung 

Although official results are not fully in, partly because some SPR officers are delaying signing off on the results, Pakatan Harapan & its Sabah ally, Warisan, has won an overwhelming electoral victory in GE14. Can we urge all of us to get our networks to really pray through the next 24 hours for the following:

1. First, that all those in authority will act responsibly to accept the results of the election and help work towards a smooth transition in the government; and that all hanky-panky attempts to change any results will be stopped or hindered from being effective.

2. Second, please pray that the Lord who is sovereign over our nation will pour His SHALOM, His peace, upon our land. Pray that the fear of God will envelop the whole nation so that evil men or women, as well as demonic powers that seeks to bring civil disorder and violence will be restrained. Remember Eph 6:12.

3. Pray that everyone, Christians included, will be responsible and sensitive so as not to provoke those who have been identified with BN. We should therefore avoid sending out offensive and provocative messages, photos and videos, or anything else that may be inflammatory in the present political context.

There will be other things that the Lord will lay in your hearts to pray for. But do activate your networks and urge them to take our responsibility to pray for the nation's welfare seriously. We must, as Paul reminds us, "Pray without ceasing!" (1 Thess 5:17)

Fr Pr Daniel Ho
Urgent!!!

Friends, crucial time right now to pray for our nation! High level spiritual warfare to be waged and are being waged in Sabah and across West Malaysia! Please pray hard! Please pass word on. Thanks
Join in this prayer :

Heavenly Father, Sovereign God, We pray against spirits of manipulation, hatred, anger, intimidation and violence that intend to manipulate the emotion and minds of people in this land tonight. We ask of you to speak into the minds of every single person now.

We bring our caretaker PM Dato Sri Najib before Your throne of Grace. Protect him from evil forces; help him to humbly accept the election results as the people of Malaysia have made our choices.

Lord Jesus, seal your stamp on the official acknowledgment of the final results of our Malaysian national election! Let no man, no devil stand in Your way. Your Kingdom of power come to Malaysia right now. Your will be done and be brought to full completion till the very end. In Your great grace, do not leave this nation hanging in the middle of nowhere. Let peace be restored into our nation for Your name's sake. We cry to You Abba Father in Jesus Name. Amen!!

Winds of Change leading to Rebirth of Malaysia - The Journey

https://www.malaysiakini.com/news/413072

•  DRSITIHASMAHMOHDALI

This is the journey of transformation for the rebirth of Malaysia on 10 May 2018. GE 14 held on 9 May 2018 was a historical event.

In short, the world named MO1 as Kleptocrat, we never know that word until he was named as such. kleptocrat means stealing money from the money for his own gains. Yet, none of YBs and Heads of Departments did or say anything towards it.

History made today.
1. Breaking 61 Years of single party rule.
2. The oldest MP - 92 years old.
3. The youngest MP - 22 years old.
4. The oldest and youngest MP's in the house, in the same term.
5. PM returns for 2nd term after 15 years retirement.
6. The First Female DPM.

Well Done Malaysia.
The sun rises brighter today.

We have witnessed the Death of kleptocracy, and the Rebirth of Democracy.

NEGARAKU TANAH TUMPAHNYA DARAHKU!

Key People that made it happened

One of the key person who did a great ground work was Rafizi. We all owe him a great deal. Before Invoke, it was only ceramahs which only attracted the already converted. With Invoke, he was the first to penetrate the rural folks. Day and night he was travelling on the truck with his wife and son giving ceramah after ceramah.  Then he got most of our young ones on board. It practically laid the foundation for Tun M to use his influence on the Malay heartland. We owe the victory to this self-sacrificing man.

1) Malaysia Kini - by WILLIAM DE CRUZ, former Global Bersih president

Setting a world benchmark in reclaiming democracy
William de Cruz
10 May 2018, 4:20 pm (Updated 10 May 2018, 4:52 pm)

Malaysians set a world benchmark, a gold standard in how to reclaim democracy against all odds yesterday.

The government coalition that had lorded over a country with various alliances for 61 years threw everything against its citizens for the 14th general election - the judiciary, the police, the universities system, the election commission, its very parliament, race and religion.

Gerrymandering and malapportionment saw some federal constituencies with as little as a few thousand voters sit side-by-side with seats that housed more than 150,000 registered voters.

This was a voting population that saw its very government as adversary.

Yet, like no other country in modern history, millions turned up yesterday and overthrew a murderous, corrupt regime without shedding one drop of blood.

There were no riots, no looting, burning of cars, homes or shops, ugly manifestations of religious or racial bigotry, ignorance or intolerance.

Instead, the people of a multi-racial country that is home to the world's fastest-growing religion, Islam, as well as the two biggest races on the planet, Chinese and Indians, embraced one another to rise above despots, division, discrimination and the albatross of the voting system itself, to unseat a prime minister and coalition that would have sold Malaysian down the drain in return for self-preservation, enrichment and aggrandisement.

The plot twists and ironies that led Malaysia to this historic day could not have been better scripted by the best of Hollywood.

Two men, powerfully galvanising individuals who were each nemesis to the other for nearly two decades - Anwar Ibrahim and Dr Mahathir Mohamad - forged the most unlikely of political alliances.

One remains a prisoner, the other put him there in shameful circumstances that were played out under the glare of world media spotlights.

The prisoner has shown how the sheer power of forgiveness can transcend the most painful of pasts. The image of Anwar and Mahathir shaking hands as allies, at one of Anwar's more recent court appearances, is now regarded by many as the turning point for the alliance that is now government-in-waiting.

The jailor and nation-builder declares he has now to free Anwar.

The most honourable Lim Kit Siang, Malaysia's longest-standing patriot, a walking symbol of long-standing and unrelenting parliamentary opposition, and the epitome of statesmanship, has carried magnanimity and self-sacrifice to another plane entirely.

Lim has embraced Mahathir, who had also thrown him into jail, and placed his aspirations for Malaysia centre stage for the sake of a pact the likes of which no other country has seen.

And yesterday, out of racism, corruption and bigotry emerged unity, determination and a sense of purpose - to forge a new future, a new hope, a new country for ourselves and our children.

Malaysians have shown a uniqueness that is as palpable as it is inspiring, and we must give ourselves the time and space to be very, very proud of what we have achieved today.

We have snatched back democracy from the jaws of destruction, so Malaysia may be rebuilt all over, with the multi-racial, democratic and egalitarian ideals of its founding fathers and earliest patriots.

We have come from the race riots of May 13, 1969, to the multi-racial juggernaut of May 9, 2018. We fought back without bloodshed or violence.

We have returned “Merdeka” - freedom, independence - to our shores. The future is now full of promise, and it's a promise we made to ourselves.

The singular event of May 9 will powerfully resonate forever in our history as a glorious chapter in a people's tenacity.

Yesterday, Malaysians became a beacon to the rest of the world, and delivered a new lesson in non-violent opposition.

The world has not seen such a reversal of fortune as Malaysia's. We are a walking, living legacy.

This is Malaysia, like no other country in the world.

2) Emran A Wahid · Singapore

Tun M, Mat Sabu and Anwar family will leave a legacy as a great freedom fighters in Malaysian history books in the future. They replaces the Hang Tuah legacy. It is not hard to see Tun M works tirelessly to correct his wrongdoing in making Najib and the whole institution being abused. It is clear that the 92yr old man, repay Anwar by presenting him the PM role on the platter once Anwar is released. Deep inside Tun M, Anwar is the best and only candidate to succeed Tun M to lead tte country to greater hights. This I think the way Tun M wished to apologize to Anwar and his family, Mat Sabu and the nation at large. A true gentlemen will not only apologize and run away, but go beyond his physical means to correct what he has done wrong. Tun M is a gentleman and a great leader, but that is an understatement. Malaysians are blessed to have Tun M, a treasure that needs to be embraced and taken care of. Like all living things, death is imminent, I lost LkY and the pain is still there when I wake up each morning the things around me are the product of LKY’s stern policy and governance. Many like me wished we could do more to thank and appreciate his struggles when he was alive. I sincerely feel sorry and terrible when seeing Tun M at his so advanced age and fragile health gave speeches after speeches across the country everyday and night. I would never allow my father of 70yrs, if he is still alive now, to go thru the same.

So Malaysians, whether you favour him or Not is regardless, for all you know he must have his own agenda for his efforts, but you don't have much choice. firstly Najib must go, secondly PH under Tun M is your only hope of saving your country to his former glory, and I belive he is very sincere in restoring the once great Asian Tiger.

Power stone - money and machinery
Mind stone - mass media control
Soul stone - race and religion card

A guy can still be defeated in Malaysia.

Sometimes, we can only appreciate why certain things happen in a certain way when we look behind and join the dots. If Mahathir did not sack Anwar in 1998, Anwar would not have formed a new Party. Over the years, the party formed as a result of a Anwar's expulsion from Umno gained strength. When the time was "ripe" events lead to Mahathir's anger and frustration that brought him to leave Umno and form a new opposition party. There is no way, DAP or Keadilan could bring down UMNO's coalition party. The  birth of Pakatan HARAPAN is a divine act to bring positive changes and it started 20 years ago..though we did not understand it then. Glad things are getting more clear to us as it unfolds....Mahathir, Anwar are just part of the divine play...the coming together of Lim Kit Siang, Anwar, Mahathir, Mohamad Sabu to take UMNO after 60 years is grand play by the Universe.🙏
