Invitations will be sent out for a Feb 8 meeting on a 'Save Malaysia Roundtable' to commemorate what would be the 114th birthday of Malaysia's first prime minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra.

DAP veteran leader Lim Kit Siang said political and civil society leaders would be invited to discuss how to "save Malaysia from (being a) global kleptocracy and a failed nation state".

Lim said in a statement: "I believe Tunku would be horrified that Malaysia has become a global kleptocracy and is heading towards a failed and rogue state."
