Malaysians all over the world are rooting for Anwar Ibrahim to become the 10th Prime Minister to make Malaysia great again to rewrite Malaysia’s fate and trajectory to be a failed, rogue and divided nation by 2060 and instead to be “a beacon of light in a difficult and distracted world”

After logging about 15,000 kilometres since Nomination Day on Nov 5, 2022, covering Penang, Kedah, Perak, Selangor, Pahang, Malacca, Johore, Sabah and Sarawak to campaign for Pakatan Harapan candidates and Pakatan Harapan President Anwar Ibrahim to be made the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia to head a Pakatan Harapan Federal Government in Putrajaya, speaking at two to three ceramahs a night, I took the last flight from Kuala Lumpur to Penang at 11.20 pm on Thursday, 17th November 2022 to help the Pakatan Harapan/DAP candidate for Tanjong, Penang, Lim Hui Ying, on the last day of the two-week election campaign.

I was dead tired from the travelling, but I was not deterred, despite my fall in front of the Kota Kinabalu hotel I was staying on Tuesday morning due to my missing one step and was determined to campaign for Pakatan Harapan to Save Malaysia from a failed, divided and rogue state in three or four decades.

After my fall in front of the Kota Kinabalu hotel on Tuesday morning, I was in Kuching, Bintulu, Semenyih and Bangi.

Because of my tiredness, I slept on the plane and woke up to announcement that the plane had landed at KLIA. My watch — an ordinary one not like the million-ringgit watch worn by UMNO/BN President, Zahid Hamidi — says one o’clock in the morning.

I thought the announcer had announced wrongly the Penang Airport as KLIA and somehow the watch had gone haywire.

It was with some shock that I found that the announcement and the watch were right, as the plane is back in KLIA because of bad weather at the Penang Airport and the plane could not land and was running out of fuel.

So we are stuck at the KLIA until 4 am when the flight was rescheduled.

It was then that I found that it was a fairly full flight, with Malaysians coming back from London, Sydney and other parts of the world to vote for the 15th General Election on Saturday, 19th November 2022.

Clearly Malaysians all over the world are rooting for Anwar Ibrahim to become the 10th Prime Minister to make Malaysia great again to rewrite Malaysia’s fate and trajectory to be a failed, rogue and divided nation by 2060 and instead to be “a beacon of light in a difficult and distracted world”, as aspired by Bapa Malaysia, Tunku Abdul Rahman.

Malaysia is capable of greater things and achievements instead of becoming a second—rate mediocre country after six decades of nation-building – and worse of all, becoming a third-rate failed, rogue and divided nation in another three or four decades.

Let’s not create another world Diaspora of Malaysians to make other nations great. As Malaysians, regardless of race, language, religion, culture, region, or age should remain in Malaysia to make our country great instead of other nations great.

I call on Malaysian voters inside and outside the country to ensure that the voter turnout is more than 80% so that Anwar Ibrahim can become the 10th Prime Minister and save Malaysia from becoming a failed, divided, rogue, and kleptocratic state in three or four decades.

Let us vote on Saturday, not for the next five years, but for the next 30-40 years for the sake of our children and children’s children to ensure that they have a better life than us.
