Thanks to Kedah DAP leaders for suggesting that I contest in Kedah in 14GE – but wait for my response in Gelang Patah tomorrow

I want to thank the Kedah DAP Chairman and DAP State Assembyman for Derga, Sdr. Tan Kok Yew and DAP State Assemblyman for Kota Darul Aman, Sdr. Teoh Boon Bok for suggesting in the ceramahs this morning that I contest in Kedah in the 14th General Election.

In my parliamentary constituency in Gelang Patah in Johor, MCA and Gerakan have launched an attack on me by putting up “Missing Person” posters.

I said yesterday that I would address these “Missing Person” posters when I return to Gelang Patah this evening, but I want through the media this morning to announce a slight change of plan.

Although I will be back in Gelang Patah this evening, it would be quite late, I will instead hold a media conference tomorrow morning to address these “Missing Person” posters.

While I thank the Kedah DAP leaders for their offer to me to contest in Kedah in the next general election, let us wait until my media conference in Gelang Patah tomorrow.

Be that as it may, the next 14GE, which may be held in September, is a crucial and critical milestone for the country’s national and political development.

Malaysians will be offered a choice between Saving Malaysia or Saving Najib Razak. There can be no in-between.

If Malaysians do not want Malaysia to become a global kleptocracy and a country mired in a culture of corruption, hurtling towards a trajectory heading towards a failed and a rogue state, then all Malaysians, regardless of race, religion or politics (whether members of DAP, PKR, AMANAH, Bersatu, PAS, UMNO, MCA, Gerakan, MIC or Sarawak/Sabah BN component parties) must unite to Save Malaysia.

This call applies to UMNO and PAS members as well.

PAS President Datuk Seri Hadi Awang has his own agenda in wanting to be very pally with the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

However, he also would have to confront the choice of deciding whether to Save Malaysia or the Save Najib.

I do not believe that PAS members want to Save Najib instead of Save Malaysia.

Even the ordinary 3.5 million UMNO members would want to Save Malaysia and not to Save Najib if they understand that the country is presented with such as a stark choice in the next general election.
