Election results a 'statement' from M'sians

Our people have spoken, Malaysia has spoken, spoken emphatically, loud and clear. Let me share my thoughts and the message the results convey to various parties who contested the elections.

To BN or what is left:

We want a government of capable, efficient, competent, clean and intellectually respectable leaders with integrity. There were none earlier. Is there any left? I have my doubts. For example, those who watched the pathetic interview Riz Khan of Al jazeera had with Dato Seri Abdullah are likely to form the opinion that (a) he did not understand the questions and implied messages (b) he could not verbalise and articulate well, even looked completely lost and (c) the questions could not have been truthfully, factually and objectively answered considering his government's administration and policies.

We want transparency in administration in all aspects especially in the utilisation of public funds, tax payers money. We want corruption to be zero without exclusion. We want an independent and competent judiciary, decisions based on law, interpreted without fear or favour. We want fair representation in the civil service across the board at all levels, befitting a multiracial country and population.

We, the people, the Malays, Chinese, Indians, Ibans, Dayaks, Kadazans etc are not as stupid as BN thinks. The election results is proof of that. We understand right and wrong, ,justice and injustice, fair and unfair policies and practices. We want the best brains, in both men and women in all jobs under government control at all levels especially for heads of all pubic services, corporations, statutory bodies, the police force, the anti-corruption agency, the attorney-general’s chambers etc.

We want an independent anti-corruption agency, reporting directly to and being responsible to Parliament. We want an independent Attorney-General. We want an independent IGP and enforcement of laws without fear or favour. We want a non-racial based government. We do not want a Cabinet representing based on races and religions. It is the duty of the government to take proper care of all irrespective of race and religion.

We do not want the federal government development denied to states under the control of opposition parties. I hope that the BN has learned a lesson from Kelantan experience. We do not want a government that intimidates the people with May 13 and Kampung Baru Malays coming out. That does not wash anymore as people have grown up and are matured and realise that everyone will lose in such tragic situations. Those who talk publicly about the tragedy just for votes will run away with their ill-gotten wealth which is parked all over the world.

For the opposition:

Do not take the support you have received for granted. Run the states under your control now in an exemplary manner taking into consideration the factors listed above for BN. Merge the three parties - PKR, DAP AND PAS - into one. Discuss and reach an common platform which will benefit the people and the country. The message from the election results is that our people are ready and willing to receive a multiracial and multi-religious government.

Give Anwar Ibrahim a chance to lead such a party, forgive him for his stand during the time he was in the government.

General suggestions:

MCA, MIC, PPP, PRM all should wind up. They are ‘dead' anyway. Please do not exist for the benefit of few.

This letter may not contain anything new but it reflects the ordinary Malaysians' hopes, aspirations, expectations and dreams for the future of Malaysia and its future generations. The election results is a 'statement' that Malaysia has a future after all.
