COMMENT In his latest blog message to Malaysians, former law minister Zaid Ibrahim has written of the coming meeting between the ‘Group of 25' (G25) and the prime minister. According to him, there is one message that they should pass on to the prime minister. The message is as follows:

The prime minister must withdraw his earlier statement that Malaysia is an Islamic state. He must affirm that Malaysia is a democracy, the kind of democracy his father helped to establish at our independence. He must let our judges know the importance and sanctity of the federal constitution. He must affirm his belief in the kind of democracy that helped Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea and Indonesia overcome many years of poverty and mediocrity to become the dynamic countries they are today.

 

This is not only a message that the G25 alone should be making. It is one that all Malaysians should make to leaders of all the political parties - Umno, BN, PAS, DAP, Pakatan, etc. - with no exception whatsoever.
