Malaysia is in new era of coalition politics – I advocate a coalition government of PH (82), PN (73), Borneo Bloc (35) under Anwar Ibrahim as Prime Minister to form a coalition with the specific programme to reverse Malaysia’s decline and to make Malaysia a great world-class nation and to fight corruption

Malaysia has a hung Parliament as a result of the voting in the 15th General Election yesterday.

Malaysia is in the new era of coalition politics, and I advocate a coalition government of Pakatan Harapan (82 MPs), Perikatan Nasional (73 MPs) and Borneo Bloc (35 MPs) under Anwar Ibrahim as Prime Minister to form a coalition of with the specific programme to reverse Malaysia’s decline to make Malaysia a great world-class nation and to fight corruption.

This “Make Malaysia Great Again” coalition will have 190 Members of Parliament, which is more than two-thirds of the 222 Parliamentary seats and can amend the Malaysian constitution to restore to Sarawak and Sabah their rights according to Malaysia Agreement 1963.

The UMNO-Barisan Nasional coalition has suffered its worst defeat in its history, and Zahid Hamidi should resign as UMNO/BN President and allow the UMNO/BM coalition to return to the original nation-building principles as advocated by the first four UMNO Presidents and nation’s founding fathers like Onn Jaafar, Tunku Abdul Rahman, Razak Hussein, Hussein Onn, Tan Cheng Lock, Tan Siew Sin, Dr. Lim Chong Eu and V.T. Sambanthan.

I had advised Mahathir Mohamad and Tengku Razaleigh to play advisory roles and not to be candidates in the 15th General Election. If they had listened, they would have avoided their ignominy yesterday.

I started my political journey 57 years ago in the days of UMNO hegemony when a crack became a national crisis.

The 15th General Election result yesterday may appear to be a disaster for Malaysia, but it should be seen as a catalyst for Malaysia to become a normal, world-class great country again.
