I read with amazement the new prime minister asking the people to give him a chance and ‘evaluate my leadership with open mind.' Where has he been?

The Malaysian public knows him better than any other politician coming into his new office and it is he who should give the people a chance to choose who they think is the best person to lead the country.

He wants people to give him a chance but what chance does he give the opposition? Cannot even have ceramah while Umno run around in government cars and use government facilities to do campaigning.

If not for the allegations of corruption and murder against him, people may be more sympathetic towards him. But after I read how the woman begged for her life to be spared because she was pregnant it makes me angry. Those kinds of animals don't need pity.

How to have an open mind when the government bans this and bans that and makes you feel like a prisoner in your own country? I was in Australia to look-see and even there the prime minister has to apologise for making an air steward cry while a famous judge went to jail for lying over a small traffic fine. Now the fellow is in prison. If Najib can make Malaysia an open country, then he is the leader we need.

If he wants public to have open mind, then why bring back that old fox, Mahathir? He kacau-ed Pak Lah until that fellow became a chauffeur for his wife. Now he can see for himself the traffic mess.

We don't need a Chinese deputy prime minister so I don't support that silly MCA idea. The MCA always wants to play second fiddle to Umno so it is not surprising they want a deputy PM. They are political eunuchs without any guts.

The MCA is only good for begging for this and that and now it does not even hold the respect of the Chinese, and they still want a DPM's post. We don't need racist ideas. Next, the MIC will be asking for third DPM's post. Only good for wasting taxpayers' money.

We want the government to have an open mind and consider even a Chinese, Indian or PAS Malay or Orang Asli as the Malaysian prime minister. We don't want racism anymore. A non- Malay can't be menteri besar in Perak, so how to have '1 Malaysia'?

To Najib, only Umno can be the government so that is why he is so keen to have one this and one that. Okay, I will vote for Najib if he can do this. Please keep open mind.

1. Drop all charges against Raja Petra (RPK) and make him in charge of MACC.

2. Organise a TV debate between Anwar Ibrahim and Najib himself.

3. Organise a TV debate between Mahathir, the rakyat and NGO's and anyone who wants to have an open debate with him.

4. No need to licence newspapers.

5. Kill off the ISA and close down the Kamunting Camp.

6. Help all the poor people especially the Malays in the kampung who are still so poor.

7. Give every race equal respect.

If he cannot do these simple things, how to support Najib? How to give him the chance when he don't give the people the chance to have a free country?

We can be open-minded but can Najib?
