Call on Malaysian voters in Sabah, Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia to unite to create a second political miracle in the 15th General Election to show the difference between the Malaysian voters and Najib Razak

I call on the Malaysian voters in Sabah, Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia to unite to create a second political miracle in the 15th General Election on 19th November 2022 to show the difference between the Malaysian voters and the former Prime Minister, Najib Razak and to restore Malaysia as a great world-class plural nation in another three or four decades.

The first political miracle happened during the 14th General Election on May 9, 2018 when the Malaysian voters astounded the world and ended the UMNO/Barisan National political hegemony.

Are Malaysian voters capable of a second political miracle to make Anwar Ibrahim as the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia?

Malaysia started as one of the richest nations in Asia, but in the last six decades, we have lost out to other countries – Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea and Vietnam because we do not have a good government in Putrajaya with corruption and abuses of power becoming more rampant than other countries until we were regarded as a kleptocracy by the world.

In 1965, one Singapore dollar was equal to one Malaysian ringgit. Today, one Singapore dollar is equal to RM3.39 – highlighting the failure of Malaysia in nation-building and in not having a good government in Putrajaya.

Sabah cannot become great and world-class, unless Malaysia becomes great and world-class. There is no way that Sabah can escape the consequences if Malaysia continues to deteriorate from a second-rate mediocre country today to become a third-class failed and rogue kleptocratic state in 30 or 40 years’ time like Sri Lanka or Zimbabwe.

Anwar Ibrahim, the Pakatan Harapan candidate to be the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia, is the only candidate in the 15th General Election who can make Malaysia great again, as the other candidates for the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia – Zahid Hamidi of UMNO/Barisan National coalition; Muhyiddin Yassin, President of Bersatu and Hadi Awang, the PAS President – will see more corruption, more abuses of power and Malaysia’s continued decline as a nation until Malaysia become a failed and rogue kleptocratic state in another three or four decades.

When he was Prime Minister, Najib Razak shamed Malaysia with the monstrous 1MDB financial scandal and other mega scandals, left Malaysia with some RM40 billion 1MDB national debts which have to be paid by our children and children’s children in the next three or four decade, and downgraded Malaysia from a world-class great plural nation into the only kleptocracy in South-East Asia.

We have to undo the wrongs to the country which was done by Najib Razak, and we must start with the 15th General Election.

Let us show that we are different from Najib. Najib made our children and children’s children pay the tens of billions of 1MDB debts, but the ordinary people of Sabah, Sarawak and Malaya voted on November 19 to start the process -which will take 30 or 40 years – for Malaysia to return to the status of a great world-class plural nation!

Let us show we are different from Najib.

Najib made our children and children’s children pay for the tens of billion of 1MDB debts after stealing public funds for his family and cronies but the people of Malaysia from Sabah, Sarawak and Malaysia must vote in the 15th General Election on Nov. 19 to start the long and painful process to stop Malaysia’s decline from first-rate to second-rate, and continuing to decline to third-rate failed state in another 30 or 40 years.

Let patriotic Malaysians unite on Nov. 19 to stop Malaysia’s continued decline and ensure that Malaysia can become a great world-class nation in another 30 or 40 years.

For this reason, I urge the Batu Sapi voters to vote for the DAP candidate in this constituency and send Liau Fui Fui as the Member of Parliament on Nov. 19, 2022.
